An employee has left
Their keys may still be out, including back door and storage room keys. We rekey every cylinder tied to the old keys so they no longer open anything.

Commercial lock jobs we handle
Most business calls come down to one question: who still has a key that works. We plan the work after closing, before opening or between shifts.
A new tenant is moving in
Old keys from the last tenant should stop working. Check your lease first, since many require the landlord to hold a working key.
Lock changesToo many keys to track
Larger spaces can use a master key system, where one key opens many doors and other keys open only certain ones.
Master key systemsExit door hardware
Panic bars often have an outside key cylinder that needs rekeying too. People inside can still push the bar to leave.

Commercial locksmith FAQ
Is it cheaper to rekey our office locks or replace them all?
Rekeying usually costs less, because the locks stay on the doors. Rekeying means changing the small pins inside a lock so old keys stop working. You pay for labor and new keys, not new hardware. We suggest replacement only when a lock is worn or too light for heavy traffic. Tell us your door count and lock types when you call 678-338-8566. That helps us price your Atlanta space. how long does it take to rekey every door in a small office Door count and lock type set the timeline. Each cylinder, the part that takes the key, gets rekeyed one at a time. Back doors, storage rooms and exit doors all add to the list. A quick door count before we arrive helps you plan the visit. We offer same-day response, so work can start the day you call.
Can you change our business locks after closing so we don't lose customers?
Yes, our 10-person team works 24/7, so we can come after closing or before opening. We rekey side and rear doors first and the front entry last. That keeps your main door in use the longest. People inside can still leave through exit doors while we work. Our crew dispatches from Dunwoody, near the Sandy Springs and Norcross office corridors.
Can I change the locks on an office I lease or do I need the landlord's ok?
Your lease decides, so read it before any lock change. Many commercial leases require the landlord to keep a working key. Rekeying with an extra key for the landlord can meet that rule. This matters most during tenant turnover. That's when one renter leaves and a new one moves in.
Does the outside key on our back exit door need to be rekeyed too?
Any exit door with an outside key cylinder needs rekeying too. A panic bar is the push bar inside that lets people leave fast. Many have outside trim with a keyed cylinder, the part that takes the key. Owners often skip this door because staff rarely enter there. Rekeying changes only the outside key. The bar still pushes open from inside. For new exit hardware, see our panic bar installation page.
Are "Do Not Duplicate" keys actually safe from being copied?
No, a "Do Not Duplicate" stamp is a request, not a real block. Some key shops ignore it, so copies may still exist. Rekeying is the surest way to stop unknown copies from working. Key control means having a plan for who holds which key. For tighter control, see our master key systems page. With one, a single key opens many doors. Other keys open only certain ones. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is it cheaper to rekey our office locks or replace them all?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Rekeying usually costs less, because the locks stay on the doors.
