A secure environment is critical for any commercial space, regardless of whether your business includes office spaces, restaurants, retail shops, warehouses, medical facilities, apartments, schools, or industrial buildings, your doors should be equipped with strong hardware that can endure the everyday use while ensuring safety of the people working in the building, equipment used there, the products and/or confidential information stored within the facility.

Our professional locksmiths can perform commercial lock installation in any business in Los Angeles. As opposed to residential locks, commercial locks require additional durability and are installed on the doors which have to satisfy some of the fire safety, accessibility, insurance, and emergency exit requirements.

Choosing the Best Commercial Locks

Every business has different requirements for the security measures. Some doors will require simple and robust lever locks, while other doors will require high security cylinders or electronic access control.

Popular commercial lock choices are:

• Mortise locks

• Cylindrical lever locks

• Commercial deadbolts

• Keypad locks

• Smart locks

• High security restricted key systems

• Electronic access control systems

Mortise locks are very popular for the commercial buildings such as offices, schools, hotels and other commercial entrances due to their high durability and strength. Cylindrical lever locks might be suitable for such private offices, employee rooms, storage rooms and other interior doors. Other entrances could be strengthened with deadbolts, restricted keys or electronic credential cards.

The material of the doors also influences the proper installation process and materials like wooden office doors, aluminum storefront doors, glass doors steel security doors and fire rated doors all require different hardware.

The Importance of Professional Commercial Lock Installation

Even though the quality lock can be chosen for your commercial building, it still will not work properly if it is installed incorrectly. For instance, loose strike plate, improper screws, misalignment or improper fitting of the latch can cause the problems with the functioning of the lock making it less durable and harder to use.

We will inspect the entire door opening, the strike plate and existing hardware, the hinges, latch and closer, only then we will install the lock properly, testing its operation in the end.

Also, proper alignment makes the life of the lock longer. The unnecessary stress is put onto the key, cylinder, latch, hinges and closer every time your employees have to pull, push or lift the door to lock it.

Options for Access Control and Keyless Entry

There are many access control options for any business. Traditional keyed locks can be used, as well as different keyless entry devices.

Traditional key locks can also be included in the master key system, providing the access to several doors at once, but preventing such access from employees.

Keyless entry allows your staff to use code, card, key fob, or even phone to get inside. If one of the employees leaves the company, his or her access can be revoked without changing all the locks.

Moreover, many electronic systems offer tracking of the usage and access record keeping, which could be helpful for your inventory area, cash office, server room, supply room and other restricted places.
