Commercial locksmith services — office to warehouse.
Lockouts, master key systems, access control, high-security deadbolts and door hardware for offices, retail units, warehouses, restaurants and managed buildings. DBS-checked, insured, nationwide.
Commercial locksmith work — what’s different about it.
Commercial jobs are different from residential in a few ways. The locks tend to be more varied (mortice, rim, cylinder, padlock, electronic), the premises have more access points, and there are usually multiple users with different access rights rather than one household. Getting locked out of an office at 7am before a full day of business is a different kind of urgent than a residential lockout.
We handle commercial lockouts, lock changes, master key system installation and service, access control for offices and warehouses, and re-keying after staff changes. If someone leaves a company and takes a key, re-keying the affected locks or moving to a master key system with restricted keys is the right response — not ignoring it.
Master key systems let different keyholders access different areas with a single key, while a master key opens all of them. Done properly, this is a significant security and operational improvement for businesses with multiple access zones. Done poorly, with generic cylinders, it creates security gaps. We design and install master key systems using restricted key cylinders, which can’t be copied without a registered card from the manufacturer.
For landlords, letting agents and property managers: we do a lot of between-tenancy lock changes, HMO compliance work, and emergency access. We provide VAT receipts for everything and can give job reports for your records if needed.
