Business Locksmith Services

Absolutely. We know Austin business owners and employees work weird hours - especially in tech hubs like the Domain. Whether it's 7am, 7pm, or 2am, we can get you back into your office. We'll verify you're authorized (for everyone's security), then get you in fast. After-hours office lockouts run $65-125 depending on the lock type. Your deadlines don't care what time it is, and neither do we.

Rekey immediately. Don't wait. It costs way less than replacing locks and it's faster - we can usually rekey a small office in an hour or two. Every lock that employee had access to gets new pins, their key stops working, and you get new keys. We do this for Austin businesses all the time, especially restaurants on South Congress and startups in East Austin. Volume discounts available if you're rekeying multiple locks.

It's like a hierarchy of keys. The manager gets a master key that opens everything - all offices, storage rooms, bathrooms. Each employee gets a key that only opens their specific area. Need the cleaning crew to access everything except the office with the safe? We can do that. It's perfect for multi-tenant buildings downtown or businesses with different security zones. We design custom systems based on your actual needs, not some one-size-fits-all package.

If you have employee turnover or want to track who's coming and going, yes. Keycards cost about $5 to replace vs. $3-5 per physical key, but the real value is control. Employee leaves? Deactivate their card instantly - no rekeying needed. Lost card? Kill it remotely. Plus you get logs of who accessed what and when. Systems start around $400 per door for basic setups. We install them for East 6th Street businesses, South Lamar shops, and Domain offices.

If you have high-occupancy areas or the fire marshal says you need them, then yes - it's not optional. Panic bars (also called exit devices or crash bars) allow people to exit by pushing on them, no turning or twisting required. They're required on emergency exits, and Austin's fire code is pretty specific about when they're needed. We install code-compliant panic bars and we know exactly what the inspectors look for. Don't gamble on this one.
