Locked out of your own business
Usually at six in the morning with a delivery waiting, or at closing with the alarm counting down. We open it, and then we talk about why it happened, because a storefront lockout is almost never bad luck. It is a cylinder that has been getting harder to turn for a month.
Hardware that belongs on a commercial door
- Grade 1 locksets and mortise hardware built for the traffic
- Panic bars and emergency exit devices, so the door locks from outside and always opens from inside
- Door closers adjusted so the door shuts and latches instead of resting against the frame
- Storefront deadlatches, hook bolts and aluminum door hardware
- Security gates and roll down gates, the kind most of this street already has
Low voltage and access control
Keypads, fobs and card readers, electric strikes, maglocks, buzzer entry for a building with several offices. Our access control work is handled by a specialist we have worked with for years, not by somebody improvising with a drill. If you want to stop reissuing keys every time someone leaves, this is the conversation.
Master keying
One key for the manager, a different key for each room, a key for the cleaner that opens the front and nothing else. We map it out on paper first so you can see the hierarchy before a single pin goes in, because a master system done badly is worse than no system at all.
Locks that only lock from the inside
We get this request often and it is almost always a business. It usually means a storeroom, an office, or a back door that staff need to secure from inside without a key. It is a specific hardware answer, not a guess, and it is exactly the sort of thing worth looking at in person. For anything with more than one door we come out, look, and give you a fixed price on site at no charge and with nothing to sign.
