Commercial Building Rekeying

Have you recently had a personnel change at your business? Or simply think it’s time to vet who has access to your space? Rekeying your office or building will ensure that you know exactly who has access and increase overall security.

With a rekeying, the lock itself is not removed from the door. Instead, our professional locksmiths change the pinning inside the current lock and provide new keys. After that, the old keys no longer work. This is a great option if the lock hardware itself is in good condition but you want to update who has access to the building.

Key Control System

We understand the trade-off between managing access and risk. A formal key control system is the only way to be 100% confident that you know who has access to each area within your premise.

Rely on Pop-A-Lock to help you develop the policies and procedures of an effective key control system.

We can facilitate the discussion around, and offer advice on, questions like:

• In which areas should we have keyed access, electronic access, or both?
• In which areas do we require a higher level of security?
• What is impact of building and fire codes relative to security system design?
• Should access be granted by role, function, department or managerial level?
• How many levels of master keying should there be?
• How do we create a key issuance policy?
• How do we handle temporary access for construction workers or contractors?
