CH 02Overview
Commercial work in Berkeley
A business has more doors and more keyholders than a home, and the keyholders change more often. Part-time staff come and go. Contractors borrow keys. A master key plan, restricted keys that a hardware counter cannot copy, and a written list of who has what will save you money over time.
Common jobs: storefront and office lockouts, rekeying after someone leaves, mortise cylinder swaps on aluminium shop doors, panic bar and closer adjustments, and opening desks and filing cabinets.

CH 03Details
Planning a master key system
Start with a list. Every door. Who needs it. Which doors should stay tight, such as the cash office, the stock room or the server cupboard. That list becomes the key plan.
With a restricted keyway, copies are cut only with the owner's authorisation, so a key that leaves with a former employee cannot be quietly duplicated. Ask for a price on the whole plan, and on doing it in stages.

CH 05FAQ
Commercial questions
Can you rekey the shop after someone leaves?
Yes. Rekeying the affected cylinders is usually quicker and cheaper than replacing hardware.
Do you work on aluminium storefront doors?
Yes, including mortise cylinders, cam adjustments and the deadlatches common on shopfronts.
Can you open a locked filing cabinet?
Yes, and replace the lock core so a new key works.
Can work happen outside business hours?
The listed hours are Monday through Sunday, All day. Call to arrange a time that doesn't interrupt trading.
