Business Lockout in Norristown, PA

Your keys may be with an employee when you need to get into your shop or office in Norristown.

If that person is reachable, ask whether they still have the keys or passed them to someone else. Another person you trust with a key may have a spare. If no key is available, avoid forcing the door or trying a key that does not fit. You could make the lock harder to use or damage the key.

We provide business lockout service in Norristown when you cannot get into your shop or office because the keys are unavailable. The set may be on a desk inside, or you may not know where it is. You might be locked out of the main entrance or unable to reach a separate office within the business. We work on the entry that is keeping you out. Once inside, you can retrieve a set left there or check whether your keys are missing.

We look at the entrance and its lock to see whether it is shut securely and whether anything besides the missing key appears to be preventing entry.

If an employee has it, you may choose to have that person bring it instead of asking us to open the entrance. If that is not practical, we will explain the available approach and any risk of damage before starting. We will also explain what the work could mean for the hardware, so you can weigh your options.

Once you choose how to proceed, we work on getting you inside. If the hardware appears damaged or does not operate properly, we will point that out and explain whether repair or replacement is an option. We check the door's operation with you, including whether it closes and locks as it should. If you have a working key, we also test it with you, so you know whether it operates the lock before you secure the business.

If an employee has the set, confirm whether they still have it and whether anyone else has a copy.

If a set is missing, rekeying changes the lock so the old keys no longer work. You can choose which doors to rekey based on where the missing set provided access. Everyone who needs access to those doors will need a new copy. A spare kept in a secure place gives an authorized person another way in.

Keep a record of who holds each copy and have a clear process for collecting copies when someone leaves. Review the record when access changes, and limit duplication so it stays useful. If a door is hard to secure or a key sticks or turns unevenly, call us to check it. Avoid forcing it, since that could break it inside the lock and leave the door unsecured.
