Rekeying after staff turnover

High-turnover workplaces lose track of keys fast. Cylinders are rekeyed where they stand, and a key plan can give supervisors broader access than hourly staff.

Where keys keep walking off, keypads with individual codes let you remove one person's access without touching anyone else's.

Questions from businesses

Do you work on warehouse walk-through doors?

Yes: locks, closers, hinges and exit hardware. Doors near the docks that take forklift traffic and pallet bumps get heavier hinges and closers than an office door would.

Can you rekey between shifts?

Yes, timed so the building is never left unsecured. The new keys go to the supervisor at the shift change, and the old ones stop working as the rekey finishes.

Can supervisors have a key that opens more?

Yes, that's what a tiered key plan does: supervisors open their whole area, hourly staff open their own doors, and one master stays with the owner or the facility manager.

Do you install keypads?

Yes, on existing doors, with codes you control. Each person gets their own code, so the day someone leaves you delete one code rather than rekey the building.

Our exit bar won't latch.

It gets adjusted or replaced so it latches every time. Exit bars on busy doors wear at the latch first, and catching it early keeps the door secure at night.

Can you stop key copying?

Yes, with restricted keys that need your authorization card. Copies can only be made through the locksmith who set up the system, and only with the card.

Who has to approve?

The owner or the facility manager. In a leased building, the landlord may need to sign off as well.

Will we see the plan first?

Yes, with a free estimate, door by door, with what can wait and what can't.

Our warehouse had a break-in. What comes first?

Call the police first. After they've been, the damaged door and lock are repaired or replaced so the building can be secured again, and the locks rekeyed if any keys were taken.

Can you put a lock on the gate to our lot?

Keyed gate locks and padlocks, yes, keyed to your plan if you like. Motorized gates are a job for the gate company.

We rent a suite in a shared building.

Your suite's doors can be rekeyed or given keypads, with the property manager's approval if the lease requires it; the building's own doors stay with the building.

Can each shift have its own keypad code?

Yes. Codes can be set per person or per shift and changed without touching the lock.

Doors that work for a living

Warehouse and back-of-house doors take a beating from carts, pallets and constant traffic. Closers wear, hinges sag, and a latch that used to catch starts missing. Adjusting or replacing the worn part keeps the door secure without replacing the lock.

Shops, offices and clinics in town

Not every business here is a warehouse. Shops downtown and along the main roads, dental and medical offices, and small professional offices need the same things on a smaller scale: a front door that locks every night, a back door that doesn't get propped open, and keys that match who works there.

Glass storefronts wear their closers out first, then the pivots, then the lock. A door that swings shut too fast, drags, or bounces back open is showing which part is next, and fixing it early is a short daytime visit rather than an evening call when the door won't lock.

For offices where staff come and go, keypads with individual codes make the day someone leaves an easy one: their code is deleted, and nobody else's access changes. A key plan does the same job for doors that still need keys, and restricted keys stop the copies. Have a list of the doors, and who uses each one, ready for the visit.
