► 03 / Master key systems
Master key systems and key control
A master key setup gives each person the smallest key that does their job. Staff open their own doors, managers open their floor, and the owner opens everything.
Copies through the dealer
Paired with a restricted keyway, copies come only through the dealer holding your key records. The planning process is on our master key system page.
► 04 / High-security locks for
High-security locks for business doors
High-security cylinders resist picking, drilling and bumping. Their restricted keys can't be copied at a hardware counter. Mul-T-Lock is the line we fit most often.
Fits existing doors
Most fit into existing commercial deadbolts and mortise locks. See high-security locks and Mul-T-Lock for how the key records work.
► 05 / Access control on
Access control on your business door, and what belongs to the building
For access control in Vancouver, we work only on your own business door. That means a keypad or card reader on the storefront, suite or back door your business owns.
Building access: strata
Building fobs, lobby doors, parkade gates, elevators and common areas belong to the strata or property manager. We don't copy, program or open them.
Lost building fob
A lost building fob is a request to your strata or property manager. The fob is enrolled in the building's system, so there is nothing for a locksmith to duplicate.
Keypad or cards
On your own door, a keypad suits a small team: one code, changed when someone leaves. Cards are issued per person and can be switched off one at a time.
► 06 / Storefront and back-door
Storefront and back-door security
Customers see the front door, so it gets the attention. The back or lane door usually carries more keys and takes more of the forced entries.
Lane doors after a break-in
A forced lane door usually splits the frame beside the strike, while the lock survives. A box strike with long screws into the framing fixes that weak point.
Glass storefronts
Glass storefronts use narrow aluminum frames, so the deadbolt and cylinder have to be sized for that door. Residential hardware won't fit properly.
Closer set on the visit
Have the closer set while we're there. A back door propped for a delivery and not latching at close is a common gap. See commercial door repair.
► 07 / Rekeying after staff
Rekeying after staff turnover
When someone leaves with a key, rekeying is usually cheaper than new locks. We re-pin the cylinders so the old keys stop working, then cut new ones.
Rekey only what's needed
You don't always need the whole site done. Rekey the doors that person could open. On a keyed hierarchy, often only the affected level changes.
Leased space
Leasing your space? The entry to your own unit is normally yours to rekey. Some landlords require their master key to keep working, and we can pin the cylinder to allow both.
Overnight rekeys
A rekey between the last shift and the next morning's opening is a routine booking.
► 08 / The visit
How a commercial job runs: survey, quote, install
02
Site survey
A licensed technician walks each door and notes the hardware and who needs to open what. Surveys can be booked at a quiet hour.
03
Quote
You get the total before anything is cut or fitted. Hardware for larger jobs is ordered ahead, and the lead time is given at the survey.
04
Install and hand-over
Cylinders are fitted and every key is tested at its door. You get a key chart showing which key opens which door.
01Can you copy our building fobs or reprogram the lobby reader?
No. Building fobs and lobby readers belong to the strata or property manager. We work on your suite or storefront locks and any keypad your business owns.
02Someone forced our back door overnight. What happens first?
Getting the door closing and locking again, so you can trade. Frame repair can follow at a quieter hour. Call our 24/7 emergency locksmith line.
03We inherited a keyed system from the last tenant. Do we start over?
Usually not. If the cylinders are sound, new doors can be pinned into it. If the keys are restricted, only the dealer holding the records can cut more.
04Does a small shop need a restricted keyway?
It helps if you need to know how many keys exist. Copies come only through the dealer on record, so the list of key holders stays accurate.
05Can the work happen outside business hours?
Yes. Rekeys after closing are routine. Larger installs suit business hours, because someone needs to sign for the keys and learn the system.
