Running a successful business means keeping your property secure at all times, while making sure the right people can still get in. This page walks through your building door by door, so you know what to check and when to call us.

The front entrance and storefront

Your main entrance is used all day and is the door customers see. Storefront doors often use narrow-stile aluminum frames with deadlocks and mortise cylinders, which need specialized hardware. We repair, rekey and replace storefront and glass-door locks so the door locks reliably at closing time.

Storefront door lock replacement

Replace the lock when the key sticks, the bolt doesn’t throw fully or the cylinder was damaged in an attempted break-in. We can also upgrade to a high-security cylinder.

Back doors and service entrances

Back doors are the most common target because they’re out of sight. Check that the door closes and latches on its own, that the lock is commercial grade and that hinge pins are secure. We install door closers and heavy-duty locks for these doors.

Exit doors

Doors on an egress path often need panic bars or exit devices. We install and repair them so people can get out quickly while the door stays secure from outside.

Offices, storage and interior doors

Not every employee needs every key. With a master key system, managers carry one key, while staff keys open only their areas, such as offices, stock rooms or file rooms.

When staff changes

When someone leaves with a key, rekey the affected locks. If you’re rekeying often, ask us about restricted keys that can’t be copied without your permission.

Frequently asked questions

We just took over a lease. What should we do about the locks?

Rekey or replace every exterior lock and any interior locks protecting valuables, then decide who gets which keys. A master key system makes that easy to manage as you hire.

Our back door doesn't latch on its own. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes. It's often a door closer that needs adjustment or replacement, or a strike that's out of alignment. We fix both.

Can you put restricted keys on our doors so staff can't copy them?

Yes. High-security systems from Mul-T-Lock and Medeco use keys that can only be duplicated with your authorization.
