Commercial Locksmith for Palm Beach & Broward Businesses
Keys that walked out with a former employee, a master key system nobody documented, a panic bar that won't latch, or a storefront you can't get into.

Who we work with
- Offices: single suites and multi-tenant buildings, like the office parks along Glades Road and Yamato Road in Boca Raton or downtown Fort Lauderdale towers.
- Retail storefronts: glass-and-aluminum doors in strip centers and on streets like Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach and Las Olas Boulevard.
- Restaurants & bars: back doors, walk-in and liquor storage locks, office safes, and exit hardware that takes a beating.
- Medical & dental offices: records rooms, medication storage, and suite doors that need tight key control.
- Property managers: tenant turnovers, unit rekeys and common-area hardware across a portfolio.
- HOAs & condo associations: pool gates, clubhouses, mail rooms, maintenance rooms and stairwell doors.
How a site assessment works
- Call or text with the property type, number of doors and what's not working.
- We walk the property door by door: hardware, condition, who needs access where.
- You get options, from quick fixes to a planned key or access system, with the factors that drive cost.
- Work is scheduled around your hours, including after close.
- You keep a record of what was installed and which keys or codes go to whom.
Key control basics for businesses
Most commercial security problems start with keys, not locks. A few habits prevent a lot of rekeys:
- Keep a simple sign-out log: who holds which key, and when it was issued.
- Collect keys at separation. If one isn't returned, rekey the doors it opens.
- Don't rely on "Do Not Duplicate" stamps. Many copy shops ignore them. Restricted keyways are what actually limit copying.
- Give each person the lowest-level key that does the job.
What affects the cost
Commercial jobs vary widely, so we price the job in front of us. The main factors:
- Number of doors and cylinders involved
- Existing hardware: brand, condition, and whether it can be rekeyed or needs replacing
- Standard vs. restricted or high-security keyways
- Door type: aluminum storefront, hollow metal, wood, fire-rated
- Scheduling, such as after-hours work to avoid disrupting business

Commercial locksmith FAQs
An employee left and didn't return keys. Do I need new locks?
Usually not. Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing cylinders so old keys stop working, which normally costs less than replacing hardware. If you're rekeying several doors anyway, it's a good time to consider a master key system.
Can you work after business hours?
Yes. We're a 24/7 mobile service, so rekeys, installs and repairs can be scheduled after close or before opening to avoid disrupting staff and customers.
Do you work with property managers and HOAs?
Yes: unit turnovers, common-area doors, pool and gate hardware, mail room and tenant mailbox locks, and key systems that let management open common areas without carrying a ring of keys.
What's the difference between a master key system and access control?
A master key system uses mechanical keys arranged in levels. Access control uses codes, cards or fobs that can be added or removed without collecting keys. Many businesses use both: access control on main entrances, master keys on interior doors.
Can you fix a panic bar that won't latch?
Often, yes. The cause is frequently a misaligned strike, a door closer that needs adjusting, or a worn latch rather than a failed device. We check the whole door before recommending replacement.
Can you replace tenant mailbox locks?
Yes, for individual tenant compartments on cluster and wall-mounted mailboxes. The carrier or master lock used by the Postal Service is controlled by USPS.
How do I get a site assessment?
Call or text (754) 328-1958 with your address, the type of property, roughly how many doors are involved and what you want to fix. We'll set a time to walk the property.
