Commercial Locksmith
Commercial doors take far more abuse than residential ones, and the hardware has to meet requirements a home lock never does: fire-rated exit devices, ADA-compliant levers, closers that latch every time and cylinders that can be rekeyed when staff change. We work with commercial-grade locks, mortise cylinders, storefront deadlocks and exit devices every week.
Staff turnover is the most common reason businesses call us. When an employee leaves with a key, rekeying the affected doors is quick and far cheaper than replacing hardware. For businesses that deal with this often, a master key system with restricted keys means you can rekey a single door without touching the rest, and no one can copy your keys at a hardware store.
We also handle the urgent side: storefront lockouts before opening, a glass-door lock that stopped latching at close, or a break-in that needs the premises secured before morning.
How It Works
Built around your schedule, not ours.
Tell us what needs securing. For larger jobs we walk the site and list every door.
Itemized parts and labor, with options at different budgets.
Before opening, after close or over a weekend — whatever keeps you trading.
