Removing a problem tenant from a commercial space is stressful. A locksmith's role comes at the end of the legal process: securing the property once you are entitled to take it back.
Legal steps come first
In California, a landlord generally cannot change the locks to remove a tenant without going through the court process. Speak to an attorney about your situation. We will ask to see the paperwork showing you are entitled to possession before changing locks.
How we help on lockout day
Book us for the scheduled date and time, and we meet you or the enforcing officer at the property. We rekey or replace the locks so former occupants' keys no longer work. Overnight work can often be arranged so the space is ready for the next tenant.
Upgrade while you are at it
- Rekey to a master key system for the whole building
- Install high-security restricted cylinders
- Add keypad locks for future tenants
