Common causes of office lockouts
- Lost or misplaced keys
- Broken locks or cylinders
- Keys that snap in the lock
- Forgotten codes, dead batteries or lost fobs on electronic locks
Why DIY solutions aren't ideal
Commercial doors use heavier hardware, and forcing them can damage frames, closers and glass. Your lease may also make you responsible for repairs. Damage on a storefront can leave the business unsecured overnight.
Why hire a commercial locksmith?
A commercial locksmith knows mortise locks, exit devices, keypad systems and master-keyed cylinders. They can open the door, fix the cause and, if keys are lost, rekey the locks so the missing key is useless.
