Why Newark Trusts Us for Commercial Lock Change
Employee Left with Keys
They turned in their badge but kept copies of the keys. Or they 'lost' them weeks ago. Rekeying makes every old key useless — instantly and affordably.
Lease Turnover — Who Has Keys?
The previous tenant, their employees, contractors, cleaning crews — you have no idea how many key copies exist. A full lock change gives you a clean slate.
Locks Are Old and Unreliable
Sticky deadbolts, loose knobs, and locks that need wiggling to work are a daily headache — and a security liability. Upgrading to modern commercial-grade hardware solves both problems.
Security Breach or Break-In Attempt
If someone tampered with your locks, forced a door, or attempted unauthorized access, every lock they may have compromised needs immediate replacement — not just the damaged one.
Non-Compliant Hardware on Accessible Entrances
Round doorknobs on public-facing entrances violate ADA requirements. If your building has been flagged or you're renovating, we install compliant lever handles that meet accessibility standards.
University Student Housing
Newark has thousands of rental properties housing UD students. Landlords frequently need lock changes between tenants, and students often experience lockouts during late-night studying or after losing keys at campus events.
Apartment Complex Access
Large apartment communities near campus and throughout Newark require master key system management, unit rekeying, and prompt lockout support for residents.
Historic Downtown Buildings
Main Street's charming historic buildings often have older lock hardware that requires specialized expertise for repair, rekeying, and modern security upgrades.

Solving Commercial Lock Change Queries for Newark
What are the advantages of a commercial master key system? expand_more
A master key system allows business owners to access every door with a single key while restricting specific employees to their designated areas. This enhances internal security and simplifies access management for complexes and office buildings.
Are your locksmiths background checked? expand_more
Yes, every technician undergoes a thorough background check before joining our team. We also carry full insurance. You're trusting us with access to your home or business—we take that responsibility seriously.
What's the difference between key cards and fob access? expand_more
Both use RFID technology. Key cards are credit-card sized and often more practical. Fobs are keychain-sized and more convenient. Both can be instantly deactivated when an employee leaves. We install and program both types.
Do you offer after-hours locksmith service for businesses? expand_more
Yes, we understand businesses don't always operate 9-5. Whether you need an emergency lockout resolved after hours or scheduled lock installation on a Sunday to avoid business disruption, we're available during our extended operating hours for commercial clients.
An employee left with keys. What should I do? expand_more
Rekey immediately. We can rekey your entire business professionally and affordably—often in a single visit. With access control systems, you can delete their credential in seconds. Either way, don't wait. Call us today for peace of mind.
How does a master key system work? expand_more
A master key system lets different keys open different doors while one master key opens them all. Perfect for property managers, office buildings, and retail stores. Each employee gets access only to their areas while owners maintain full access.

Commercial Lock Change in Delaware & Pennsylvania
Whether it's employee turnover, a lease change, or a security upgrade, changing your commercial locks is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your business. Kwikey Locksmith provides full commercial lock change and rekeying services throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia — offices, retail locations, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings.
Key Control for Business Security
The biggest vulnerability in most commercial lock systems isn't the lock itself — it's the uncontrolled duplication of keys. Former employees, contractors, and cleaning crews may all have copies. We install restricted keyway systems that can only be duplicated by authorized locksmiths, giving you complete control over who has access to your property.
Master Key Systems for Multi-Door Facilities
Managing dozens of keys for a large facility is impractical and creates security blind spots. A properly designed master key system gives building managers a single key for all doors while employees receive keys limited to their authorized areas. We design and install hierarchical key systems that scale with your business — from small offices to multi-floor commercial complexes.
gavel New Castle County Locksmith Compliance
