Common causes
- Lost or misplaced keys, often after hours
- Worn or broken locks
- A key snapped or stuck in the cylinder
- Forgotten keypad codes or lost access fobs
Why DIY isn't ideal
Forcing a commercial door can damage expensive hardware, break the frame and leave the premises unsecured overnight.
What a commercial locksmith does
They confirm you're authorised for the premises, open the door, assess the lock and repair or rekey it if needed. If a key is missing, rekeying ensures it can't be used later.
Preventing future lockouts
- Keep a documented spare with a second key holder
- Use keypad locks for doors staff use often
- Replace worn keys and sticky locks before they fail
- Keep a simple record of who holds which key
