Locked Out of Your Business? Here Is What to Do

Call our live dispatcher before trying to force any commercial door.

Commercial doors use heavier hardware than homes. Forcing a storefront door can crack glass, bend the frame, or damage panic hardware. Those repairs cost far more than a lockout service.

Call 415-994-6776 and tell us your business address. Describe the door type, such as a glass storefront, an office suite, or a rear service door. We send a technician with the right commercial tools.

Commercial Lockouts We Handle Every Day

Business lockouts happen at opening time, closing time, and in the middle of the night.

Staff arrive early and the only key holder is away. A key breaks off in a storefront cylinder. An electronic keypad or access control reader stops responding. A former employee leaves without returning keys.

We handle retail stores, offices, restaurants, warehouses, medical suites, and multi-unit buildings. Each property needs a different approach, so we confirm the details on the phone first.

Commercial Hardware Requires Specialized Entry

We open commercial locks while protecting your door and your life-safety hardware.

Storefronts often use aluminum doors with narrow-stile locks and mortise cylinders. Office suites may use heavy-duty lever locks or electric strikes. Rear doors often carry panic bars and rim cylinders.

Our technicians carry commercial picking and bypass tools for these systems. We keep your exit hardware working as the California Fire Code requires. If entry needs drilling, we explain why and get your approval first.

Authorization and Verification for Business Entry

We confirm you have authority to access the business before we open any door.

We follow California Business and Professions Code Section 6980.55. Our technician records your photo ID on a mandatory work order. We also confirm your connection to the business, such as a business license, lease, or company ID.

Owners and property managers can pre-authorize staff for future lockouts. This keeps your next call simple and secure.

Our Business Lockout Process

Every commercial lockout follows a documented, professional sequence.

Step 1: Door and Hardware Assessment

We identify the lock, cylinder, and door type before choosing a method.

Glass storefronts, steel service doors, and suite doors each need different tools.

Step 2: Upfront Quote and Authorization

You approve the price and confirm authorization before work begins.

After-hours calls may carry a premium. We explain it clearly on the phone.

Step 3: Non-Destructive Entry

We open the door while keeping the lock and exit hardware intact.

Your staff can get back to work as soon as the door opens.

Step 4: Security Check and Next Steps

We test the lock and recommend fixes if key control is at risk.

If keys are missing or held by former staff, we can rekey during the same visit.

After the Lockout - Restore Key Control

A business lockout often reveals a deeper key control problem.

If keys were lost, stolen, or never returned, rekeying the cylinders makes old keys useless. For businesses with frequent staff turnover, a master key system or access control removes the need to track physical keys. We design and install both across Marin County.

Frequently Asked Questions

We answer the most common questions about commercial lockouts.

Can you open a glass storefront door without breaking it?

Yes, we open storefront doors without damaging the glass.

We use specialized tools for narrow-stile locks and mortise cylinders. The door, frame, and glass stay intact.

Do you handle lockouts outside business hours?

Yes, we provide commercial lockout service 24 hours a day.

This includes nights, weekends, and holidays. An after-hours premium may apply, and we explain it before dispatch.

What proof do I need to unlock my business?

We need photo ID and proof of your connection to the business.

A business license, lease, company ID, or a call from the owner or property manager all work. State law requires this verification.

Can you fix an access control system that locked us out?

Yes, we service keypads, card readers, and electric strikes.

We restore entry first, then diagnose the system so the lockout does not happen again.
