Services
Lock Rekeying
Our lock rekeying service enhances security by modifying existing lock mechanisms to work with new keys. This cost-effective solution eliminates unauthorized access without replacing entire hardware systems. Ideal for new homeowners, businesses, or after key loss incidents, our technicians complete rekeying services in under an hour while maintaining lock integrity.
Emergency Lockout
We provide immediate response for vehicle, residential, and commercial lockouts with average arrival times under 30 minutes. Our technicians use non-destructive entry methods to access locked properties while minimizing damage to doors and locks during emergency situations.
Master Key Systems
Custom-designed master key systems allow controlled access across multiple doors while maintaining security hierarchies. We implement scalable solutions for businesses, apartment complexes, and large residences that balance convenience with access restrictions for different user groups.
Panic Hardware
We install and repair ADA-compliant panic hardware meeting fire safety regulations. Our technicians ensure proper installation of push-bar mechanisms that require 15 pounds or less of force for emergency egress while maintaining security during business hours.
Security Assessments
Our comprehensive security assessments identify vulnerabilities in residential and commercial properties. We evaluate existing lock systems, door hardware, and access points to recommend customized security upgrades that address specific risk factors and budget requirements.
