Fast help for jammed or broken locks
Sudden lock problems slow down operations. Quick service keeps the entrance usable and the building secure.
We handle:
- jammed locks and stuck cylinders
- latches that refuse to retract
- broken keys left in the lock
- doors that no longer lock or latch fully
Many calls come from businesses searching “commercial door lock repair near me” during a busy workday.
Commercial door lock repair for high-traffic areas
Main entrances and lobby doors wear out faster than interior doors. Hardware starts to feel loose or unreliable.
Common issues:
- wobbly or loose handles
- latches that don’t catch every time
- keys that need extra force or “wiggling”
- locks that only turn smoothly from one side
The goal is simple: restore solid, everyday performance without replacing the entire door.
Door and hardware adjustment
Sometimes the lock is fine, but the door has shifted. Misalignment makes locking harder than it should be.
We adjust:
- hinges and sagging doors
- strike plates that no longer line up
- door closers that slam or fail to close fully
- frame alignment that causes sticking or scraping
Break-in and damage repair
After forced entry or vandalism, getting the opening secure again is the first priority.
We fix:
- bent or forced cylinders
- damaged door edges and frames
- loosened or twisted hardware
- prying marks around the lock area
Technicians can also suggest reasonable upgrades to strengthen the door for the future.
Lock replacement when repair isn’t enough
Some locks are too worn, outdated, or damaged to trust on a business entrance.
Replacement makes sense when:
- the same lock fails repeatedly
- key control has been lost over time
- hardware no longer meets security standards
- renovation or layout changes require new systems

Rekeying for better key control
Rekeying keeps existing hardware while changing which keys work the lock.
Best for:
- staff or tenant turnover
- too many key copies in circulation
- shared offices and co-working spaces
- unreturned keys from vendors or contractors
Service doors, panic bars, and back exits
Rear exits and emergency doors must work correctly every time.
We service:
- panic and push bars that feel loose or jammed
- rear exits that fail to latch after closing
- service doors used for deliveries and staff access
- hardware that struggles to stay closed under heavy use
Preventive maintenance and upgrades
Light maintenance reduces sudden failures and makes planning easier.
During visits we:
- clean and lubricate lock mechanisms
- tighten loose screws and hardware
- suggest simple reinforcement options
- plan staged upgrades that fit your budget
For ongoing commercial lock repair and maintenance in Columbus, reliable entrances help protect business assets and keep each workday running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions about our commercial lock services
Your most asked questions — answered by our locksmith experts
Can you rekey all the locks in our office building?
Absolutely. We can rekey any or all locks across your building, match them to a single master key system, or assign different access levels for staff. Rekeying is a fast, secure, and cost-effective solution after staffing changes or key loss.
Can you help us set up an access control system?
Yes, we install and configure full access control systems including keypads, proximity readers, smart locks, and remote access setups. These are perfect for multi-user properties and businesses needing layered access levels.
What’s the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the pins inside the existing lock so old keys no longer work, it’s ideal when the hardware is in good shape. Lock replacement involves removing and installing new lock hardware, often used for upgrades or damaged systems.
Can you unlock a locked file cabinet or storage room?
Yes. We can unlock, repair, or replace locks on file cabinets, storage areas, server rooms, and other restricted access zones. We also rekey and duplicate keys as needed.
How secure are keypad and smart lock systems for commercial use?
Very secure. When installed and configured properly, smart locks and keypads offer excellent protection, audit trails, and the convenience of keyless entry. We only use trusted commercial-grade hardware with encrypted connections.
How often should commercial locks be replaced or serviced?
We recommend evaluating your locks annually and replacing them every 5–7 years or sooner if you notice wear, security risks, or after staff turnover. Regular maintenance ensures lasting protection.
