After working diligently to launch, maintain, and grow your business, it’s only natural that you want to protect your commercial property. Like residential households, businesses use a variety of locks and keys to keep their commercial space secure. Commercial locksmiths play an essential role in protecting businesses and their valuable items. Locksmithology provides commercial locksmith services in Encino and surrounding areas.

Business safe services

Most businesses have tangible items of importance they wish to protect. Not only can theft be a threat from inside and outside sources, but an event like a fire or a flood can also compromise the safety of the items stored in a commercial building. Choosing the right safe locksmith in Encino for your business needs can safeguard your business’ valuables from being misplaced, stolen or damaged. A locksmith can help you choose the right safe for your business.

There are several factors that directly determine the type of safe you should choose for your building. These factors include:

The most important detail you will need to evaluate when choosing a commercial safe is the type of items you will need to store. It is generally easier to find a safe that will fit smaller items whereas you may encounter challenges if you are looking for a safe that will accommodate larger or irregularly-shaped items. A fireproof safe is a necessity for flammable items like paper documents.

The area in which you will store your safe may call for the safe to have certain features. For example, you may want a safe that fits under a desk. in a closet. Some safes can be mounted to fit discreetly into an opening in a wall.

Lock replacement and rekeying

There are several reasons a business may want to change the lock on a door. A former employee may have left the company without returning the key. A burglar may have broken into the building. The current lock may be showing signs of wear and tear.

In certain cases lock replacement is the most appropriate solution. A lock that is sticking or otherwise not working properly should be replaced. However, in other situations, rekeying the lock would be a more economical way to achieve the desired outcome. Rekeying changes the mechanisms on the inside of a lock in a way that requires the locksmith to create a new key to operate the lock. The original key will no longer unlock the lock. Having locks rekeyed can simplify your security system by allowing a single key to unlock multiple doors that have the same type of lock. A business may also opt to rekey the locks if too many people have copies of keys to the current locks.

Business owners are often unaware of the key differences between rekeying and replacing a lock. Our technicians will help you decide which option is best for you.

Choosing a commercial lock system

Your business’ lock system is its first line of defense against potential security threats. Whether you are constructing a commercial building from the ground up or upgrading the building’s current locks, consulting a locksmith will allow you to make informed decisions. Traditional door locks are durable enough to get the job done. However, more companies are realizing the advantages of implementing an electronic lock system.

Electronic locks offer the convenience of remote locking and unlocking and keypad access. Businesses can grant access without distributing copies of keys. Changing access can be done without physically changing or rekeying the lock. Nevertheless, electronic locks aren’t for everyone. We recommend consulting a locksmith to weigh the pros and cons of adding an electronic lock system to your business’ security plan.
