Key control for teams
Every time an employee leaves with a key, your building is a little less secure. A master key system lets managers open every door while staff keys work only where they need them. When someone leaves on bad terms, rekeying the affected cylinders is usually faster and cheaper than replacing hardware.
Keyless entry is another option. Systems that use PIN codes, cards or fingerprints let you remove access in seconds. Learn more in keyless entry locks for businesses.
Locked out of the office?
A lockout during business hours costs you sales and staff time. Don't force the door or drill the lock yourself; that often turns a lockout into a repair. Call, describe the door and lock, and get an estimate. See office lockout help and why to call a pro for business lockouts.
FAQ
Common questions
Can you rekey an office after an employee leaves?
Yes. Rekeying changes the pin setup so the old key no longer works, and new keys are cut for the remaining staff.
Do you install panic bars and exit devices?
Emergency exit lock installation is on the commercial service list. Ask about the door type when you call so the right hardware is brought.
Can file cabinets and desks be opened?
Yes. Cabinet, desk and file cabinet locks can be opened, repaired or replaced.
