A locked-out business loses time and money every minute it cannot open. The temptation is to force a door, but commercial doors and frames are expensive to repair, and a damaged door leaves the business exposed overnight.
What a professional does
A commercial locksmith assesses the door, the lock and any exit hardware, then chooses the least destructive way in. Once inside, they can rekey or repair the lock so the building is secure again.
Why forcing entry backfires
- Bent frames and damaged closers are costly to replace
- Glass storefronts can crack
- A forced door may not lock properly afterwards
How to prevent business lockouts
- Keep a spare key with a trusted manager off site
- Use a master key system so supervisors can open any door
- Consider keypad locks for staff entrances
- Service sticking locks before they fail
