Commercial Locks
The cash office, the stockroom, the server closet and the medication cupboard need locks that behave differently from the front door. Commercial services cover those internal doors with cylinders, keying and, where it fits, access control that records who opened what.
Which one do I need?
- The drawer behind the counter holds a tangle of keys with tape labels: front old, side, Dave.Commercial Rekeying
- A property manager taking over a small commercial building inherits a shoebox of keys with no labels and no chart.Master Key System Design
- You just leased the empty unit next door and want the new tenant to open their own suite without a key to yours, to the loading dock, or to the electrical room down the hall.Access Control Installation
- The new access-control reader at the staff entrance works fine going in, but nobody has sorted out the door's exit side, and right now a card reader and a pushbar exist as two separate ideas.Panic & Exit Hardware
- Overnight someone forced the back door, and the cylinder face is scarred, the metal around the strike has pulled loose from the frame, and the latch no longer sits flush.Commercial-Grade Lock Replacement

Reading the keys that already exist
Before deciding anything new, it helps to understand the old. Gather every key the business can find, including the ones with faded tape labels, and the locksmith reads them against the cylinders on the walk. Some will turn out to be duplicates of each other, some will belong to hardware that was replaced years ago, and some may operate doors nobody expected them to.
Hardware-store copies stand out by their blanks and by the way they wear. This reading shows how far the key count has drifted and whether an old master still exists, and it lets the new plan retire everything found in the drawer rather than only the keys anyone remembered.
