02 · Key control
Who has a key to your building?
Most businesses can't answer that question exactly. Keys go home with former staff, cleaners and contractors, and copies get made. A master key system gives each person only the doors they need, with one manager key on top.
When someone leaves on bad terms, rekey the doors they could open. It costs less than new hardware: rekeys start at $19.00 per the price list, plus the $29.00 service call fee.
- Rekey after a manager or keyholder leaves
- Use restricted keyways so copies need authorisation
- Keep a written key log by door
03 · Lockouts
Locked out of the shop before opening?
Call with the address, the type of door (glass storefront, steel back door, roll-up) and the lock brand if you know it. Have ID and something showing you are authorised to enter. The locksmith checks both before opening the door.

04 · FAQ
Questions people ask
Can you install panic bars?
Yes, panic hardware is on the commercial service list. Fire code and the building's door rating decide which device fits, so the locksmith checks the door first.
Can old office keys be stopped from working?
Rekeying the cylinders does exactly that. Every old key stops working and new keys are cut on the spot.
Do you work on file cabinets?
Yes. File cabinet and desk locks can be opened and the cores replaced or rekeyed.
