Commercial Locks
A commercial door works harder than a house door. It opens hundreds of times a day, in all weather, for people who do not own it. The hardware and the key control have to reflect that, and this section explains how we approach both.
Which one do I need?
- The office has been reshuffled twice since the locks were last touched.Commercial Rekeying
- A new hire at the shop gets handed whatever spare key happens to be in the drawer, and it turns out to open the stockroom, the back office and the safe room all at once.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
- The kitchen delivery door gets shouldered open more than a hundred times a shift, and lately the latch slips past the strike plate instead of catching it on the first push.Commercial-Grade Lock Replacement

Cores and restricted keys already on site
Some businesses already have more key control than they realize. Figure-eight shaped cores in the levers point to an interchangeable core system, which means a control key somewhere removes the core without unscrewing anything; finding out who holds that control key, or whether it left with a former manager, shapes the whole job. Keys with an unusual profile or a stamped number may belong to a restricted keyway whose blanks are only supplied against a signed letter of authorization, and the locksmith asks who the signatories are.
Knowing what is already in place lets the new plan build on it rather than replace it, and flags any control that has quietly lapsed.
