A Guide To Covering All Your Commercial Lock Repair Needs

by Katie Davis

Security should be a top priority for your commercial business, whether you're in retail, law, or any other industry. Without it, you can't protect your assets or the people that do business with and for you. Developing a rapport with a local commercial lock repair company will do a lot to make your business more secure. 

Here are a few things you should know about hiring a commercial locksmith services technician and using their expertise to help your business. 

Get all of the locks in your office building rekeyed by a commercial locksmith services technician

Call in a commercial locksmith services technician to check out the condition of your locks and doors. If you've been in business for a while, chances are that you'll need to get your locks rekeyed. 

You'll pay a minimum fee just for the locksmith to show up, then each rekeying costs about $18-25, in addition to the cost for each piece of hardware. Schedule a consultation so the commercial lock repair technician can let you know what more kind of labor is needed, in addition to showing you different lock options. 

They should leave you with a written estimate, which you can sign off on once you're ready to get your locks rekeyed. 

Update your on-site security for 24-hour access

Commercial locksmith repair technicians today also install alarm systems. These security systems are necessary to protect your business around the clock. The hardware alone for a new commercial security system will run you in the range of $1,000 and $2,500. 

In addition to the security system, set up a protocol for all employees to sign in and sign out. Keep entry and exit records in a software system when people sign in with a badge or a code. Have everyone working to close deploy the alarm system when they leave for the night. This gives your building around the clock security, which is the best standard of safety for any commercial business. 

Create a monthly or annual contract with a commercial locksmith 

Ask your commercial locksmith repair company about pre-paid service plans for the month or the year. These plans can include services like on-demand commercial lockout assistance or vehicle lockout assistance. When not covered under the umbrella of a commercial locksmith repair and service plan, you'd be paying about $85 per appointment. Cover your building in advance so you never have to think twice when these situations arise. 

Use these tips to handle all your commercial locksmith repair needs.
