How do you verify I'm authorized to access the business?

We verify professionally through business cards, employee ID, property documentation, lease agreements, or by calling a listed property manager or business owner. This is a quick process that protects businesses from unauthorized access attempts.

Can you handle high-security commercial locks?

Yes. Our commercial specialists are highly experienced with high-security brands including Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, ASSA, and Primus. These locks require specialized techniques but we can access them. They take a bit longer—that's by design.

Will you damage my storefront door or glass?

No. We use non-destructive techniques designed specifically for commercial hardware. If a situation ever required destructive entry (extremely rare), we would discuss it with you first and wait for your approval.

Can you fix our access control system that's not working?

Often, yes. We can bypass malfunctioning keypads and card readers to get you inside, then diagnose whether the issue is power, programming, or hardware failure. Many issues we can repair on-site; complex system failures may require a follow-up visit with parts.

What if our former employee still has keys?

Once we get you inside, we can immediately rekey your locks so all old keys stop working. You'll have new keys and full control. For businesses with many doors, we can also set up a master key system to simplify future key management.

Frequently Asked

Business Lockout FAQs

Do I need to prove I own the property during a lockout?

expand_more

Yes, for your protection and ours. We require valid ID matching the address, registration for vehicles, or other proof of residency. This protects you from unauthorized entry. If you're a renter, a lease or utility bill works too.

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 if I'm not satisfied with the work?

expand_more

We provide a 90-day service commitment on all workmanship and hardware installations. If you encounter any operational issues during this period, we will return to your location for a diagnostic assessment and resolution as part of our service pledge. Your security and peace of mind are our primary operational priorities.

Are you available on holidays?

expand_more

We do our best to accommodate emergencies during holidays and extended hours. Our mobile service operates Mon-Thu & Sun 7:00AM-10:00PM and Fri 7:00AM-4:30PM. We are closed on Saturdays. If you have an urgent lockout during our operating hours on a holiday, give us a call and we'll do everything we can to help.

What information do you need when I call?

expand_more

For the most efficient service, have ready: your location (address or cross streets), type of lockout (home, car, business), vehicle year/make/model if automotive, and any details about your lock type if you know them. This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.

What if my commercial lockout also triggers the alarm?

expand_more

We work with you to coordinate with your alarm company before entry. Many clients have us on their authorized list. If needed, we can wait while you contact monitoring to prevent a false alarm response.
