Business Lock Re-key

When running a business, one of the biggest things on your mind should be security. Having your business property locks re-keyed shouldn’t be limited to solely to an occasion where you opened a new location or moved to another building. What if you had recently a change in staff? You wouldn’t have a way to know if they made copies of the keys. Keys are copied all the time whether they have a stamp on them that says ‘DO-NOT DUPLICATE’ or not.

If employees have copies of your keys, it is a good practice to have the locks re-keyed in a situation where one of them left your employment or got terminated. Having too many keys floating around can be very detrimental to the health and safety of your company files and products. Another route that you can take is by contracting with a licensed, bonded, and insured locksmith in Portland. Then, at that point, if it becomes a regular habit, you know you have a locksmith you can trust who’ve done the job before and know what to do again.

Another way to keep your existing or new business property secured is to talk to the locksmith about implementing a master-key system. That way, you have unrestricted access to your business, and have other keys that only work for certain locks and which cannot be duplicated. This will restrict employees’ access to areas that you don’t want them to be in. Locksmith in Portland can walk you through exactly how master key system works and the benefits of having it.

Another very good reason to have your business locks re-keyed is in a break-in type situation. You never know the full extent of a break-in until it is too late. There could have been a set of keys just sitting out in the open up for on a desk up for grabs because someone was in a hurry and forgot to put them up and lock the office. Calling a Portland locksmith as soon as possible after a break in is one of the best ways to make sure you business is protected once again.
