Key control that actually holds
Most business lock problems are really key problems. Ask a manager how many keys exist to the back door and you'll usually get a guess. Ten years of turnover, contractors, and "borrow this for a second" later, nobody knows who can walk in at 2 a.m.
We fix that three ways: restricted keyways so keys can't be copied without your sign-off, keying records kept at our shop rather than in somebody's desk drawer, and rekeys scheduled around your hours so you're not closing early for it.
One call, and the departed employee's key opens nothing by end of day.
Who we work with in Wichita
Offices and professional buildings, churches, schools and daycares, medical and dental practices, restaurants and retail, warehouses and light industrial, apartment and commercial property managers, and nonprofits. The common thread is more than a handful of people needing different levels of access.
We can work off your schedule for anything disruptive, and we'll give you a written scope before we start so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Common questions from business owners
Can you rekey our building after an employee leaves?
Yes, and if you're on a master key system with restricted keys, often only the affected doors need attention rather than the whole building. We keep the records, so it's one call, not a project.
How do we stop employees from copying keys?
Restricted keyways. The blanks are controlled and patented, so a hardware store or kiosk physically cannot cut one, and we only cut copies for people on your authorization list.
Do you work with property managers on multiple buildings?
Yes. We maintain keying systems across portfolios and can gradually standardize a mixed bag of inherited hardware into one manageable system instead of replacing everything at once.
Our door slams or won't latch. Is that a locksmith or a door company?
That's us. Door closers, latches, and alignment are core locksmith work. See door closers and hardware.
Can you service us after hours so we don't close?
For scheduled commercial work, we do our best to work around your hours. Tell us your constraints when you call and we'll build the schedule around them.
Do you handle panic bars and fire-rated doors?
Yes. Exit devices on fire-rated openings have real code requirements, and we install and service them accordingly. If an inspector has flagged something, bring us the report.
