Business Lockout in East Goshen, PA

The back door has locked behind you, and your keys are inside your shop or office in East Goshen.

You may have stepped outside with a delivery or taken out the trash, only to find you cannot get back through that door. If another entrance is accessible to you, use it rather than forcing the door. A key held by an owner, manager, or coworker may also get you back inside, provided you can reach that person.

When those options are not available, we provide business lockout service in East Goshen. We work to get you back into your shop or office when the keys are locked inside or missing. If your keys are inside, the problem is reaching them. Missing keys present a different concern: you may not know where they went or who could have them. Either situation can leave you unable to use your business space, even when everything you need is just on the other side of the door.

We first look at the entrance and its lock, including any visible signs of wear or trouble.

If an employee has your key, tell us whether that person can bring it to you. You may prefer to use it rather than have us open the door. If it is not available, we look at the condition of the entry and explain what work may be needed to get you inside.

Before starting, we explain the choices we see and any concerns, such as a loose lock or a door that does not sit properly. You can ask what each option involves and decide how you want to proceed. Once you are inside, we check with you that the entrance closes and the locking mechanism operates from inside. If a key is available, you can also try it while the entrance is open, so you can see whether it turns and moves the mechanism.

If your keys were left with an employee, confirm who has them and whether they are still in that person's possession.

Keep a record of who has each key, including copies, and update it whenever a key changes hands. A designated spare kept in a secure place accessible to an authorized person gives you another way in. Avoid leaving it outside the business or in an obvious hiding spot. Decide who may make copies and collect keys from anyone who no longer needs access.

If a key is missing or you cannot account for copies, rekeying is an option. We change the lock so the old keys no longer work and provide new keys for the people you choose. If a key sticks, turns roughly, or the door does not latch, avoid forcing it. Call us again to check the problem, since continued use could make it worse.
