High-Security Locks and Door Hardware for NYC Businesses
Commercial doors take abuse a residential door never sees: hundreds of cycles a day, delivery carts, and the occasional attempted break-in. We install Medeco and Mul-T-Lock high-security cylinders on storefront doors, office suites, and back-of-house entries — hardware built to resist picking, bumping, and drilling, with restricted keys that can't be copied at a corner shop. We also handle the supporting cast: heavy-duty deadbolts, mortise locks, keypads, and the exit devices and closers that keep a busy door working instead of failing mid-shift.
Lease Turnover? Rekey Before the New Tenant Moves In
Every lease that ends leaves keys unaccounted for — former employees, old vendors, the previous tenant's contractor. Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing locks so old keys stop working, usually without replacing any hardware. It's the fastest, cheapest way to reset access on day one of a new lease.
Property managers use us for the same reason at scale: when a commercial unit turns over, we rekey the suite, update the building master if there is one, and hand over a clean set of keys with a count you can file.
Exit Devices, Access Control, and After-Hours Service
Egress doors need hardware that lets people out in one motion while keeping the wrong people from walking in. We install and repair panic bars, alarmed exit devices, and door closers, and we install Comelit intercoms and access control for buildings moving past metal keys at the front door. Because we run 24/7, the work happens when your business is closed — a storefront lock swap at midnight beats one during the lunch rush, and an after-hours break-in gets boarded with new locks the same night.
Common Questions
Should I rekey or replace my locks when a tenant leaves?
Rekey when the hardware is in good shape — it makes old keys useless at lower cost. Replace when locks are worn, damaged, or you want an upgrade to high-security cylinders. We'll tell you honestly which one your doors need.
Can you do the work outside business hours?
Yes. We operate 24/7 across all five boroughs, so lock changes, rekeys, and hardware installs can happen overnight or on weekends without interrupting your business.
Can one key open everything in my building?
Yes — that's a master key system. We design hierarchies where a master opens every door while individual keys open only their own. Restricted keyways keep unauthorized copies out of circulation.
What does commercial locksmith work cost?
Every job gets a transparent quote before work begins, with no hidden fees. Scope drives price: a single rekey is simple, a building-wide system is quoted door by door.
