What we do

Office and business lock replacement, one door or a building.

Most business locks are replaced for one of three reasons: they are worn out, they are the wrong lock for how the door is used, or the keys are no longer under control. Each has a different answer, and not all of them need a new lock.

Office door lock replacement

Lever locks on office, conference and storage doors that droop, stick or no longer latch, replaced with a lock in the function the door needs: passage, privacy, storeroom, office or classroom.

Commercial mortise lock replacement

A worn mortise lock body replaced inside the pocket the door already has, so the door is not re-cut. Where the old body is no longer made, we find one that fits the existing cutout or say plainly what else has to change.

Commercial lock cylinder replacement

Mortise, rim and interchangeable-core cylinders replaced when the key sticks or turns loosely, or when the cylinder has been attacked. Often the lock behind it is fine, and only the cylinder needs to go.

Storefront door lock replacement

Narrow-stile deadlocks and hook bolts on aluminum glass doors, which take their own hardware and their own cylinders. A worn storefront lock is one of the most common calls we get from retail.

Business lock replacement after a break-in

Locks and cylinders that were forced, drilled or pried, replaced along with the strike and any bent trim, and the door checked for damage that would let the new lock be defeated the same way.

Replacement across a building

Several doors replaced in one visit, keyed alike or to a keying schedule you approve, so staff carry fewer keys and every door is on the same hardware.

How we work

How a commercial lock replacement goes.

We find out whether it needs replacing at all

If the lock works and the problem is who has keys, rekeying the cylinder is faster and costs less than a new lock. If the key sticks but the lock body is sound, a cylinder may be all it needs. We tell you which before quoting a whole lock, and put the options side by side in the written estimate.

We match the new lock to the door's existing prep

Commercial doors are cut for a particular kind of lock: a mortise pocket, a bored hole, a narrow stile. A replacement that fits the existing cutout goes in cleanly. One that does not means filling and re-cutting, which is more work and does not always hold. We measure the door before we order, not after.

We key it and test it before we leave

The new lock is keyed to your existing keys or to a new set, and we hand you every key. The latch catches on its own, the key turns smoothly from outside, and on any exit door the lock still lets people leave from inside with one motion and no key.

Good to know

Commercial lock replacement questions we get asked.

Your question is not here? Call (470) 691-8439 and put it to the crew directly.

Should I rekey or replace the locks on my business?

Rekey when the locks work and the problem is keys you no longer control, such as a former employee or a lost key. Replace when the lock is worn, damaged, or the wrong type for the door. Our article on rekeying versus replacing goes through it; on a visit we tell you which one each door needs.

Which kind of business door lock should we replace ours with?

Usually the same kind the door was made for: a cylindrical lever lock on most office and suite doors, a mortise lock where the door has the deep pocket for one, and a narrow-backset deadlock on aluminum storefront doors. Within each kind, a heavier-duty grade lasts longer on a door that opens all day. We read the door's prep and tell you which fit without new cutting.

Can you replace just the lock cylinder?

Often, yes. When the key sticks, turns loosely or the cylinder was attacked, and the lock body behind it is sound, a new cylinder keyed to your system is all the door needs. We check the body before we recommend it.

Will a new office door lock fit the old holes?

It will if it is the same kind of lock for the same prep, which is why we measure the door before ordering. Where the old lock is no longer made, we look for one that fits the existing cutout before suggesting anything that means re-cutting the door.

Can the new locks work with our existing keys?

Usually. We key the new cylinders to your existing key, or to a new set if you want to start fresh. Several doors can be keyed alike so staff carry one key.

How soon can you replace a lock after a break-in?

Same-day when the schedule allows. We do not run an around-the-clock line and we say so up front. We replace what was forced and check the door, frame and strike so the new lock is not defeated the same way.
