Do I need a locksmith if my locks work?
Working isn't the same as secure. If former staff still have keys, if anyone can copy your keys at a hardware store, or if your back door has a basic residential lock, it's worth a review.
Master key systems
A master key system lets managers open every door with one key while each staff member's key opens only what they need. When someone leaves, you rekey the affected cylinders rather than the whole building.
Restricted and high-security locks
Restricted keyways can't be copied without your authorization. High-security cylinders resist picking, bumping and drilling. Both suit server rooms, stock rooms and anywhere cash is kept.
Doors and hardware
- Emergency exit devices that meet code and still lock from outside
- Heavy-duty deadbolts and strike plates on rear doors
- Door closers that make sure doors actually latch
- Keypad or card access for doors many people use
Records and cabinets
Locking file cabinets and desks protect client and employee information. See file cabinet lockouts and keyless entry.
