Not only should the locks on your commercial property open and close, they must be able to withstand daily use and fit the security and access requirements of your building and its inhabitants.

New York Commercial Locksmith offers professional commercial lock installation services for businesses, such as offices, retail shops, apartments, hotels, restaurants, warehouses, medical practices, schools and others in New York. We will supply locks that are suitable for the level of traffic, door construction, security needs, and access needs of the premises.

Locks for Commercial Property Entrance Doors

Your business premises may have various types of doors and they require different locks. The lock that works perfectly for an office door will not be suitable for a high traffic storefront door or steel industrial door.

Our commercial locksmiths deal with locks for:

• Steel security doors

• Dtorefront aluminum doors

• Wooden office doors

• Interior employee doors

• Glass entrance doors

• Storage room doors

• Fire rated doors

• Rooftop and utility room doors

• Building entrance doors

We first inspect the state of the door, frame, hinges, strike plate, door closer and hardware before suggesting which lock to install.

Types of Commercial Locks

There are many types of mechanical and electronic locking systems available for your commercial property and some of the most popular ones are:

• Mortise locks

• Commercial deadbolts

• Cylindrical lever locks

• Smart locks

• Keypad locks

• High security cylinders

Mortise locks are very popular on high traffic entrances due to their internal structure that allows for repeated operation. Cylindrical lever locks are usually installed on offices, meeting rooms, employee offices and interior commercial doors.

When stronger key control is required, restricted key cylinders or electronic credentials would be more secure than simply using keyed locks.0

Correct Installation Ensures Proper Operation and Protection

No matter how good your hardware is, if it is not installed correctly, then it will not function properly, as misalignment of the latch, poor strike plate, poorly secured cylinder and improper preparation of the door could all lead to problems and potentially weaken the door.

Our experts properly align and fasten all of the parts. After finishing the installation, we make multiple tests of the door operation in order to ensure that the latch operates flawlessly and the lock requires no additional pushing, lifting or pulling of the door by employees.

Proper installation will also reduce the wear of the key, cylinder, latch, hinges and door closer.

Options for Access Control Systems

Conventional keyed locks are still good for businesses since they are affordable, familiar to workers and allow the integration of master key system.

When it comes to better access control, it is possible to use keyless locks. The employee can open the door with a code, card, key fob or authorized mobile device. The former employee can lose access right away when leaving the job.

An electronic entry system may track the use of credentials and help you keep control of access to storage rooms, offices, computer server rooms, money handling rooms and other restricted areas.

Upgrading Your Commercial Locking System

The need for new locks will arise if you have to move into your business premises, renovate, change existing locks, cope with high employee turnover rate or increase security following a failed burglary attempt.

New York Commercial Locksmith can assess your business premises and fit commercial locks that will serve your business’s needs.
