Mobile Commercial Locksmith
New Businesses and Employee turnover are certainly the most common reasons to have your locks rekeyed or re-Master-keyed. Lost or stolen keys can happen as well, though. Commercial locks are typically more expensive than residential locks. They are made of higher quality materials, have more secure internal locking mechanisms, and are built to withstand greater use. You don't always have to replace the lock to regain security, in fact, you seldom have to when the issue is solely related to key control.
Aside from rekey and master rekey services, we provide new locks, bolts and latches, indicator locks, and many other types of locking devices. We also service panic bar assemblies and store front locking devices.
There are Various lock functions and these should be in-line with your specific requirements for each door.
Entrance locks
will allow you to change the status of the lock (unlocked, locked but unlocked with key, locked and remains locked after the key is removed).
Storeroom locks
will typically remained locked with the handles rigid at all times. The key will retract the latch when inserted and turned, but will go back to being locked once the key is removed.
Privacy locks
are most commonly installed on bathroom doors, though many businesses benefit from using Entrance or Storeroom locks for their restrooms. A privacy lock doesn't have a keyed cylinder, but rather a slot or hole that either a small pick or screwdriver can be used to easily unlock the door.
Passage locks
have a latch to secure the door to the frame, but no mechanism exists within them to prevent anyone from operating the door. These locks are commonly used on rooms that anyone is allowed to enter. These may be appropriate for break rooms, some meeting rooms, and closets that don't contain valuable or restricted items. They're meant simply to keep the door closed, but not to secure in any way.
Deadbolt Locks
Many types of deadbolt locks exist, but the most familiar form are the single sided deadbolts and double sided deadbolt locks. A Double sided deadbolt has a keyed exterior and a thumb-turn on the interior. Anyone can lock or unlock the bolt from the interior. The Double sided deadbolt requires a key to lock and unlock it from either side. The advantage here is control over who can change the locking status of the deadbolt, and consequently, the door.
For Residential Applications, double sided locks are seen as a Life Safety concern. Needing a key to exit your house in a fire emergency can cost lives.
For Commercial Applications, the opposite is typically true. Only employees with keys can lock or unlock the door and the door must remain unlocked when customers are in the store. This prevents a person from accidentally or intentionally locking everyone inside the building.
Store Front locks usually have a deadbolt as well. These are typically mortised locks, with either a swinging long bolt, a shorter hooking bolt, or a latch with a second dead latching feature. Sometimes these doors will also have concealed vertical locking rods to secure the door at its header and threshold. These are narrow style locks and often limit the options for hardware.
