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. Fully insured engineers, 24/7 including bank holidays.
Commercial locksmith work: what is different about it.
Commercial jobs differ from home jobs in a few ways. The hardware is more varied (mortice locks, rim locks, padlocks, electronic access), the premises have more entrances, and several people hold keys with different rights. Being locked out of an office before opening time is a different kind of urgent from a home lockout, so say when you need to be back in when you call.
Typical work includes lockouts, lock changes, master key systems, access control and re-keying after staff changes. If someone leaves and a key is not returned, re-key the locks they could reach, or use restricted keys so a copy cannot be cut without authorisation.
A master key system lets each keyholder open their own areas while a master key opens all of them. It needs planning: which doors share a system, who holds which key and who may order copies. Restricted cylinders are an option, because new keys are cut only against an authorisation card held by the system owner. Without that planning, a master key system can leave gaps.
Landlords and property managers have their own page, covering lock changes between tenancies, HMO room locks and access to void properties.

Commercial locksmith jobs we take on.
Insured engineers, 24/7 including bank holidays.
Our engineers are fully insured. If your building has contractor rules about insurance, mention them when you call so the dispatch team knows before the job is sent.
Jobs come from sole traders and from property management companies. If you have regular work, tell the dispatch team and ask what can be arranged.
For emergency commercial lockouts we usually quote 30–40 minutes. The engineer tries to open the door without damaging the hardware or the frame where the lock allows.
After a lockout, the engineer can talk through whether a cylinder change, a higher-security deadbolt or access control would reduce the chance of it happening again.
