Commercial locks endure great deal of wear and tear. Employees, clients, tenants, suppliers, and delivery men can unlock and lock the same entry point hundreds of times per week.

In the course of time, some components inside of the lock can wear out, screws can get loose, cylinders can stop turning easily, and the latch can fail to align with the strike plate.

Phoenix Commercial Locksmith offers professional repair and replacement services of commercial locks to all local businesses.

Indications That Your Commercial Lock Requires Service

Commercial locks are supposed to be operating properly and consistently and if you have noticed any of the following issues, you should contact a professional locksmith as soon as possible:

• Key getting stuck or being hard to turn

• Handle or lever getting loose

• Latch not retracting

• Cylinder shifting inside of the door

• Key bending

• Need to lift or push the door in order to open it

• Difficulties opening the lock several times

• Rust, corrosion, or damage from impacts

• Electronic lock reacting unpredictably

• Unable to keep the door locked securely

Forcing the damaged key or lock will lead to breakage of the key and complete lockout of the lock.

Options for Commercial Lock Repairs

Not every faulty lock requires a replacement, our experienced technicians can repair the lock depending on its condition, they can replace loose parts, swap out the cylinder, fix the latch, adjust the strike plate, extract a broken key, adjust the hinges or service the door closer.

Misalignment of the door is often perceived as malfunction of the lock. Due to the sagging or shifting of the door, latch can fail to engage with the strike properly.

Replacement of the lock without fixing the misalignment will lead to the same malfunction of the newly installed hardware.

When a Full Replacement Is Necessary

It makes sense to install a new lock when the lock is too worn out, frequently fails to work, was damaged during a forced entry, missing critical parts, discontinued, or not suitable for the current security requirements of the property.

Also, businesses decide to change locks during renovations, transfers of the ownership, starting a new rental agreement, upgrading cylinders to a high security version, or switching to the electronic access system.

A new lock should be matched the door materials, level of traffic and intended use.

Lock Rekey Instead of A Replacement

When the lock is functioning properly and you need to stop the usage of old keys, then rekeying will be a cheaper option.

The cylinder is refitted and new keys are made. Rekeying is usually requested after personnel changes, loss of keys, tenant changes, changes in management, or moving into an existing commercial building.
