Each service has its own page explaining how it works, what it costs and how to plan it around business hours.
02 /When businesses call
When does a business need a locksmith?
Most commercial lock work follows a change: a person leaves, a tenant moves, a building grows. Planning it avoids emergencies later.
An employee leaves
If keys were not returned, or you are not sure how many copies exist, rekeying the affected doors closes that gap the same week.
Too many keys on the ring
A master key system gives managers one key while staff carry only the keys for the doors they need.
New lease or new owner
Taking over a storefront or office suite means taking over its old keys. Change or rekey every lock before you open.
You need a record of entry
Keypad and access control systems replace keys with codes, fobs or cards, and many keep a log of who opened which door, and when.
Apartment mailboxes and cabinets
Tenant mailbox locks, file cabinets and desk locks are replaced or rekeyed when keys go missing or tenants change.
Locked out of the business
A commercial lockout is handled like a home lockout: proof that you are authorized for the premises is checked first.

05 /Master key systems
How does a master key system work?
Each lock is pinned so it opens with its own key and with one or more higher-level keys. A written key plan records who holds which key.
Change key
Level 1
Opens one door or one group of doors. Issued to the person who works there.
Sub-master key
Level 2
Opens every door in one area, such as one floor, one department or one building wing.
Master key
Level 3
Opens every door in the system. Held by owners, managers or maintenance staff.
Restricted keyway
Key control
Optional patented keys that cannot be copied at a hardware store or kiosk. Copies come only through an authorized source.
Master keying adds convenience, but every extra key level adds key combinations to each lock. A well-designed system uses only the levels a building needs, and it is documented so future rekeys do not break it. Systems for apartment buildings often key the common doors to every tenant key while each unit stays private. Estimated range: $300–$800+. Master key systems in detail.
06 /Fall River & the South Coast
Business security in Fall River’s mills, downtown and apartment buildings
Many Fall River businesses work out of converted textile mills, where dozens of tenants share entrances, stairwells and freight doors. Keying common doors alike while each suite keeps its own key is a common master key layout in these buildings.
Storefronts along South Main Street and the city’s commercial corridors often have aluminum-frame glass doors with narrow-stile locks. These use specific cylinders, so replacing them is usually a cylinder swap or rekey rather than a new lock.
Apartment buildings and multi-family properties need key control most of all. Tenant turnover, maintenance vendors and lost mailbox keys add up. A documented key plan makes every change faster and cheaper.
Locked exits must still let people leave freely in an emergency. Any change to an exit door, including access control or added locks, has to keep the building compliant with fire and building codes [VERIFY with local building department].
