Question 1

An employee was terminated today — how do I secure my Brooklyn office without rekeying every lock?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the most common commercial calls we receive. Your options: (1) rekey the specific locks the employee had access to — fastest and cheapest, (2) if your building uses a master key system, we can remove the departed employee's key from the hierarchy without touching other keys, (3) if you have a keypad or smart lock system, simply delete their code. We recommend same-day service for terminations involving any sensitive access — call (347) 386-7164 and we prioritize these.

Question 2

What is a master key system and does my Brooklyn business need one?

Accepted Answer

A master key system is a pinned lock hierarchy where one master key opens every lock, department keys open groups of locks, and individual keys open only specific locks. It eliminates the need for employees to carry multiple keys. Most Brooklyn businesses with 3+ employees and multiple secured areas benefit from a master key system. We design, pin, and install them for offices, restaurants, retail, and multi-unit buildings. Setup takes 1–2 days depending on the number of locks.

Question 3

Our office was broken into overnight — what do we do first?

Accepted Answer

Call 911 and preserve the scene for the police report (your insurance will require it). Then call us at (347) 386-7164. We respond to commercial break-in emergencies 24/7. We will replace destroyed hardware, reinforce door frames, provide a written incident report for insurance, and if needed, install temporary security while permanent hardware is ordered. Do not delay — an unsecured commercial property is a liability.

Question 4

Can you install an access control system that lets me see who enters and when?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Commercial access control systems — keycard, key fob, PIN, or app-based — log every entry event with a timestamp and credential ID. If an incident occurs, you have a complete audit trail. We install cloud-based systems (Kisi, Brivo, Salto) that you manage from a web dashboard or phone app. Add or revoke access instantly without touching the physical hardware.

Question 5

My Brooklyn storefront has a roll-down gate and a glass door — how do I secure both properly?

Accepted Answer

Roll-down gates: we install hardened closed-shackle padlocks on a through-bolted hasp — the padlock size matters less than the hasp quality. Glass doors: a commercial mortise lock or grade 1 rim cylinder with a double-cylinder deadbolt (key both sides) on glass-panel doors prevents reach-through unlocking. We assess your specific storefront and recommend the combination that balances security with daily operational ease.
