Commercial locksmith services

A small-business lock system should lock out former employees and let in current ones without handing out fifty keys. Swift Key connects businesses and property managers with independent local professionals. Start with the site type, affected doors, current hardware, users, urgency, and the authority responsible for approving the work.

What do homeowners ask about commercial locksmith service?

What is a master-key system?

A pin configuration that allows one master key to open every lock while each user has a change key that opens only their specific door(s). Useful for offices (owner has master; employees have their own), medical practices (all-access for manager, limited access for staff), and apartment buildings (property manager has master).

Restricted vs. unrestricted keyways, which do I need?

Restricted (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy) means no one can cut a duplicate key without your written authorization. Unrestricted (Kwikset, Schlage) means anyone can walk into Home Depot and cut a copy. For small offices with low turnover, unrestricted is often enough. For medical, legal, or high-turnover businesses, restricted keyways are usually the better control.

Do you service panic bars and fire doors?

Swift Key can seek an independent professional for the request but does not guarantee inspection authority or code compliance. Identify the device, door label, occupancy, failure, inspection notice, and authority having jurisdiction.

Can you integrate with our existing access control system?

Integration depends on the controller, credentials, locks, power, wiring, software, licenses, account ownership, permissions, network, life-safety interfaces, and vendor support. A site survey is usually needed.

Do you offer service contracts?

Swift Key does not publish a network-wide service-contract program. Ask the matched independent professional about maintenance terms, response commitments, exclusions, hardware coverage, documentation, pricing, and cancellation.
