A door that will not lock at close, a panic bar that sticks, a keypad nobody knows the code to, or a former employee who never turned in a key. We handle the lock side of running a building, for offices, restaurants, retail and property managers across Columbus and Central Ohio, from single storefronts to national chains.
You deal with us directly. The technician who comes out works for us, so what you were quoted is what you pay.
Commercial rekey
Staff turnover, a lost master key, a tenant moving out. Rekeying changes which key works without replacing hardware that is otherwise fine.
We can rekey a single door or every door in the building, and set up who can open what, so a manager carries one key instead of six.
Office lockouts
Locked out before opening, or a door that latched behind someone with the keys inside. We pick the lock first, the same as everywhere else, because forcing a commercial door costs far more to put right than the lockout did.
Lock change and installation
New storefront, new tenant, or hardware that has simply worn out. We replace mortise and rim cylinders, supply and fit new locks, and install locks on doors that never had them.
If a lock is failing, we will tell you whether repairing or replacing makes more sense for that door instead of selling you the bigger job by default.
Panic bars and exit devices
Exit devices take a beating: they get pushed hundreds of times a day, and they are the piece an inspector looks at. We repair panic bars, replace them, and adjust the ones that latch unreliably.
Door closers
A closer that slams, drags, or leaves the door standing open is a security problem as much as an annoyance. We repair and replace commercial closers and set the closing and latching speed properly.
Keypads and access hardware
We install commercial keypad locks, chosen by grade and by function: storeroom, classroom, entry, passage. Which function you need depends on how the door is actually used, and getting it wrong is what makes a door either useless or unsafe.
What we do not do, at least for now: access control systems and cameras. If your building already has an electric strike, we still handle the mechanical side, such as a panic bar repair unrelated to the strike, replacing a mortise or rim cylinder, or rekeying.
Who we work with
Property managers and owners, restaurants, offices and retail. We do ongoing work for buildings that would rather call the same locksmith every time than start over with someone new.
If you manage several properties, call and we will set up how you want work requested and billed.

Columbus and Central Ohio, including Hilliard, Dublin, Grove City, Westerville, Worthington, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg, Whitehall, Bexley, Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights.

Common questions
Can you rekey every door in our building to one key?
Usually yes, depending on the hardware. We look at what is on the doors and tell you what is possible before starting.
Do you work after business hours?
We work every day until 11:00 PM, which covers most closing shifts.
Can you fix a panic bar, or does it have to be replaced?
Often it can be repaired. We tell you which it is when we see it.
Do you install access control or cameras?
Not at this time. We handle the mechanical hardware, including doors that already have an electric strike fitted.
Do you bill businesses?
Payment is due on site unless billing terms are agreed in writing in advance.
Do you work with property managers and maintenance companies?
Yes, including ongoing work across multiple properties.
How do I pay?
Card, tap to pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, cash, Venmo, Zelle or Cash App. Payment is due when the work is finished. Businesses with an account can be invoiced if we agree that in advance.
