Common causes of office lockouts
- Lost or misplaced keys, often after the last person leaves.
- Worn or broken locks on a heavily used entry door.
- A key snapped in the cylinder.
- Forgotten codes or missing fobs on electronic locks.
Why DIY entry is not ideal for a business
Commercial doors are built to resist force. Attempting to pry one open damages the frame, can disable the closer or panic bar and may void your insurance if the door is later involved in a claim.
What a commercial locksmith does
Verifies that the person requesting entry is authorised, opens the door without damage, repairs or replaces the failed hardware and, if keys are missing, rekeys the affected doors so the lost key cannot be used.
Preventing future office lockouts
- Keep a key register so you know who holds what.
- Rekey when staff with keys leave.
- Install a keypad or card reader on the main entry.
- Service closers and panic bars annually.
