Commercial locks face different challenges than residential locks. They experience higher traffic, more frequent use, and greater security demands. That is why we only install commercial-grade hardware designed to withstand the rigors of business environments while providing the security your company needs.

When to Change Your Commercial Locks

There are several situations where changing your commercial locks is the smart choice for your business security. Recognizing these situations can help you stay proactive about protecting your business assets and personnel.

• After employee turnover: When employees with key access leave your company, especially under unfavorable circumstances, changing locks eliminates the risk of unauthorized access.
• Following a break-in: After any security breach, new locks with fresh keys restore your security perimeter.
• Worn or damaged locks: Locks that are difficult to operate, show signs of tampering, or are visibly worn should be replaced.
• Security upgrades: Upgrading to higher-security locks or electronic access control provides better protection and audit capabilities.
• New business location: When moving into a new space, changing all locks ensures you control who has access from day one.
• Insurance requirements: Some insurance policies require specific lock grades or security features.

Commercial Lock Options

We offer a comprehensive range of commercial lock solutions to meet the diverse needs of businesses in every industry. Our team can help you select the right locks based on your security requirements, budget, and operational needs.

• Heavy-duty deadbolts: Commercial-grade deadbolts with reinforced strike plates for maximum forced entry resistance.
• Mortise locks: The gold standard for commercial doors, offering exceptional durability and security with integrated deadbolt and latch.
• Cylindrical lever locks: ADA-compliant lever-handle locks ideal for high-traffic interior doors.
• Electronic keypads: Keyless entry with programmable codes, eliminating key management issues.
• Card access systems: Proximity cards or key fobs for convenient access with audit trail capabilities.
• High-security cylinders: Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and other restricted keyway systems for maximum pick and bump resistance.

Master Key System Integration

For businesses with multiple access points, a master key system provides both security and convenience. We can design and implement master key systems that allow different levels of access for different personnel while maintaining a master key for management. This eliminates the need for large keyrings while ensuring each employee only has access to authorized areas.

If you already have a master key system, we can key your new locks to integrate seamlessly with your existing system. We maintain detailed records to ensure the integrity of your master key hierarchy.

ADA Compliance

The Americans with Disabilities Act has specific requirements for door hardware in commercial buildings. All exterior doors and many interior doors must be accessible to people with disabilities. We carry a full line of ADA-compliant commercial hardware including lever handles, accessible electronic locks, and automatic door closers that meet current accessibility standards.
