01 / Services

Everything your doors need, from one local crew.

A B C D E F
One door, six jobs. Most shops need two or three of them.
  1. A

    Rekeys and lock changes

    New keys the same day an employee leaves, or a full lock change if the old ones are worn out.

  2. B

    Keypad and smart locks

    Codes for staff instead of keys, so you never chase a key again. Great for back doors and offices.

  3. C

    Panic bars and closers

    Exit devices and door closers fitted and adjusted so you pass the fire inspection.

  4. D

    Storefront door repair

    Sagging glass doors, sticking locks and broken handles fixed, usually on the first visit.

  5. E

    Simple master keys

    One key for the owner, fewer keys for staff. Set up in an afternoon for small shops and offices.

  6. F

    Break-in and lockout help

    Locked out before opening or broken into overnight? We come out, secure the door and get you trading.

02 / Who we help

04 / Simple master keys

One key for you, fewer keys for everyone else.

A typical small restaurant: you carry one key that opens everything, the manager and kitchen get keys for their doors only, and nobody has a key to the cash room except you.

A back door that finally locks itself

The back door was propped open every night after close. We fitted a closer, a keypad lock and a simple master key, so the owner now carries one key instead of nine.

Rekeyed before the next appointment

A chair renter left with a key. We rekeyed the front and back doors between clients and switched the staff entrance to a keypad, so it will not happen again.

08 / FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a contract?

No. Most of our customers pay per job. The yearly Lock Check plan is optional and costs $99.

Can you come before we open or after we close?

Yes. We schedule most work early morning, evening or on your day off, so customers never see us.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Every technician is licensed in Ohio, background-checked and insured. We are happy to send certificates to your landlord.

How fast can you get here in an emergency?

Usually within 45 minutes anywhere in Columbus, day or night.

Will a keypad lock fit my existing door?

Almost always. We bring a few models and fit the one that suits your door and budget, with no new door needed.
