Locked Out of Your Office? Here’s What to Do
Step-by-step guide for office lockouts — from first response to prevention.
Our commercial lockout team responds to every type of business lockout scenario across New York City:
A lockout is a signal — it means your current security setup has a vulnerability. Once you’re back inside, here’s what our clients most commonly upgrade:
High-Security Lock Installation Standard pin-tumbler locks are vulnerable to picking, bumping, and drilling. We install commercial-grade locks from top high-security brands including Mul-T-Lock, Medeco, Adams Rite, and LCN — hardware used in NYC government buildings, hospitals, and high-rise offices.
Master Key Systems Eliminate the risk of lost keys creating full building lockouts. A properly designed master key system lets authorized personnel access exactly what they need — nothing more — while a single grandmaster key covers the entire property. Explore master key systems for businesses and the key benefits of going keyless-hierarchy.
Access Control Systems Replace physical keys entirely. A keypad access control system, key fob entry system, key card entry system, or fingerprint access control system lets you grant, restrict, and revoke access instantly — no rekeying required. Learn more about how access control enhances security and convenience.
Smart Locks for Commercial Doors Modern smart locks for commercial storefronts allow remote locking and unlocking, time-based access schedules, and full audit trails — so you always know who entered and when.
Lock Changes After Staff Turnover A departing employee with an unaccounted-for key is a serious liability. Review our guides on business lock change best practices, upgrading business locks for better security, and NYC compliance requirements for commercial lock upgrades.
Commercial Door Repair & Replacement If your lockout involved a damaged door, frame, panic bar, or closer, we handle the full repair. Our door division covers commercial door repair and installation, all commercial door types, fire-rated doors, panic bars and fire exit hardware, revolving doors, and electric strike and wireless remote door locks.
