Commercial Locksmith

Commercial properties require durable, high-security locks capable of withstanding heavy daily use while providing reliable protection against unauthorized entry. We install and replace commercial-grade deadbolts, mortise locks, cylindrical locks, and electronic access control systems. Our technicians assess your specific security needs, considering factors like foot traffic, security threats, insurance requirements, and budget constraints to recommend optimal locking solutions. Installation services include proper door preparation, strike plate reinforcement, and adjustment ensuring smooth operation and maximum security. We work with fire-rated doors, ensuring all installations maintain required fire ratings and comply with local building codes and ADA requirements.

Master key systems provide businesses with flexible access control while maintaining security hierarchies. We design and implement custom master key systems allowing different access levels throughout your facility. Owners and managers receive master keys accessing all areas, while employees receive keys limited to necessary zones. Our master key system design considers organizational structure, security zones, and future expansion needs. We provide detailed key control documentation, key tracking systems, and replacement key services. Restricted keyway systems using patented key blanks prevent unauthorized key duplication, ensuring only authorized personnel can obtain replacement keys.

Rekeying provides cost-effective security updates when keys are lost, employees leave, or security concerns arise. Our technicians rekey locks on-site, changing internal pin configurations so old keys no longer function while new keys operate the locks. This process costs significantly less than complete lock replacement while providing equivalent security benefits. High-security key duplication services include restricted keyways requiring authorization before duplicates can be created. We maintain detailed records of key issuance, providing accountability and tracking capabilities essential for commercial security management.

Commercial doors and hardware endure constant use, requiring regular maintenance and occasional repairs to maintain proper function and security.

We provide documentation of service performed, satisfying compliance requirements while maintaining door reliability.

Automatic doors integrate with card readers, keypads, and push buttons controlling when doors activate. We install and configure access control systems working with automatic operators, creating secure yet convenient entry systems. After-hours security prevents automatic operation, requiring credential presentation before doors open. Integration with fire alarm systems ensures automatic doors release during emergencies, facilitating rapid evacuation. We verify fire safety protocols function correctly, maintaining life safety compliance while providing daily convenience.

Office lockouts create frustrating situations preventing employees from accessing workspaces, resulting in lost productivity and potential revenue losses. Lock and Tech USA provides rapid office lockout response throughout NYC, typically arriving within 30 minutes of service requests during business hours.

Our emergency locksmith teams understand the urgency of office lockouts, especially during business hours when every minute represents lost productivity. We maintain mobile locksmith units throughout NYC, enabling fast response regardless of your location. Technicians arrive with comprehensive tool inventories and common lock components, resolving most lockouts during initial visits. Before performing lockout services, we verify authorization through business documentation, building management confirmation, or identification verification. This security protocol protects businesses from unauthorized entry while ensuring legitimate lockouts receive prompt resolution.

Professional locksmiths prioritize non-destructive entry techniques preserving locks, doors, and frames. We use specialized tools and techniques opening commercial locks without damage, maintaining building security after lockout resolution. Lock picking, bypass tools, and decoder instruments allow entry without breaking components requiring expensive repairs or replacements. In situations where non-destructive methods prove impossible, we clearly explain options and costs before proceeding. Emergency situations sometimes necessitate forced entry, but we minimize damage and provide immediate repairs or replacements restoring security.
