Why Wilmington 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.
Historic Home Security
Wilmington's beautiful Victorian-era homes in Trolley Square and Highlands often require specialized lock hardware that preserves historic charm while providing modern security. Our technicians are experts in antique mortise locks and period-correct hardware.
Urban Apartment Security
Downtown high-rises and Riverfront apartment complexes need master key systems and secure access control solutions compatible with building management requirements.
Corporate Campus Access
With major corporations like Bank of America, Capital One, and AstraZeneca headquartered in Wilmington, businesses need sophisticated access control, key management, and emergency lockout response.
University District Security
Near the University of Delaware campus, students and landlords frequently need lock changes between tenants, emergency lockouts, and upgraded security for rental properties.

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Commercial Lock Change
Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more
Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.
What type of lock is recommended for a storefront glass door? expand_more
We typically recommend Adams Rite or similar storefront locks designed specifically for aluminum-frame glass doors. They're secure, durable, and designed for high-traffic commercial use. We carry parts for most major brands.
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.
Can you open my commercial safe if I forgot the combination? expand_more
Yes, we are highly trained safe technicians. We can open most commercial safes without damage using manipulation techniques or specialized tools. We can also change the combination after and provide documentation for your records.
How soon can you get to me? expand_more
Arrival times are subject to location, traffic conditions, and current dispatch volume. We prioritize emergency lockout requests and maintain a network of mobile technicians across the region to ensure a professional response. We provide an honest, professional arrival estimate during your initial consultation and maintain active communication as our technicians depart.
Should my safe be bolted to the floor? expand_more
Absolutely, for any safe under 750 lbs. Thieves often steal smaller safes to crack later at their leisure. Bolting eliminates this risk. We include professional anchoring in our safe installation service.

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
New Castle County requires all locksmiths to be certified through the Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office and maintain proof of insurance.
