Commercial Locksmith in Port St. Lucie

Why Port St. Lucie Businesses Call Us

It's Monday morning. Your manager's key won't turn. Your employees are standing outside. You've got customers showing up in 20 minutes.

Or it's Friday afternoon. You just fired someone. They walked out with their keys. You need every lock rekeyed before Monday.

Maybe you manage a strip mall in St. Lucie West. You've got 8 different tenants with their own keys. Half of them have employees with copies. You have no idea who can get into what anymore.

I fix this stuff every day. 340+ commercial jobs last year alone. Offices in Tradition. Retail stores on U.S. 1. Warehouses near the Turnpike. Medical offices off Gatlin Boulevard.

We set up master key systems. We install commercial-grade locks. We fix panic bars that fail fire inspections. We rekey entire buildings overnight so you're ready Monday morning.

What We Do for Businesses

Master Key Systems (This Is the Big One)

You've got 15 employees. They all need access to different areas. You don't want 15 people walking around with giant key rings.

Master key systems let your employees access their areas with one key. Managers get a master key that opens everything in their department. You get a grand master that opens the whole building.

We set these up for property management companies all over Port St. Lucie. One grand master for the property manager. Individual keys for each tenant. Master keys for maintenance. Everyone has exactly the access they need. Nothing more.

Panic Bars (Code Compliance Matters)

Fire marshal failed your inspection? Your panic bar doesn't push smoothly? It sticks halfway?

We install and repair Von Duprin, Alarm Lock, and Detex panic hardware. The kind that passes inspection. The kind that actually works when someone's panicking.

I've fixed panic bars that were installed wrong 10 years ago. I've replaced bars that were "repaired" with duct tape and zip ties. You'd be shocked what passes for commercial security sometimes.

Access Control (Who Came In and When)

Keypads. Card readers. Fingerprint scanners. Smartphone access.

You get logs. "Sarah entered at 8:47 AM. Left at 5:23 PM." Someone came in Saturday? You'll know who.

When someone quits, you delete their code. Takes 30 seconds. No rekeying. No hoping they turned in all their keys.

Office Lockouts (We Drop Everything)

Lost your keys? We'll get you back in. Usually 20-30 minutes from when you call.

Your employees don't sit outside for 2 hours. Your customers don't walk away. We get you open. Fast.

Lock Rekeying (Fast Turnaround)

Employee quit? Contractor finished the job? Ex-employee making threats?

We rekey your locks same day. After hours if needed. You come in Monday morning with new keys and zero worries.

How Much Does Commercial Locksmith Service Cost?

Office lockout? $100-175 during business hours. After hours? Add $50.

Rekey commercial locks? $40-60 per cylinder. We give discounts for multiple locks. Rekey 10 locks? We're not charging you $600. More like $400-450.

Panic bar installation? $350-650 depending on the door and hardware. That includes the bar and installation.

Master key system setup? Depends on how many doors. Small office (10 doors)? $800-1,200. Large building (50+ doors)? $3,000-5,000. We quote it after we see your setup.

Access control per door? $1,200-2,500 for a good system. Keypads are cheaper. Biometric costs more. We'll walk you through options.

Real Stories from Real Businesses

The Medical Office Nightmare

Called me on a Wednesday. New doctor taking over the practice. Previous doctor left Monday. Took his keys.

They had patients showing up. Staff couldn't get into the medication cabinet. Couldn't access patient files. Total chaos.

We rekeyed the whole office in 3 hours. 22 locks total. New keys for the new doctor. She was seeing patients by noon.

The Restaurant That Kept Getting Robbed

Restaurant in St. Lucie West. No signs of forced entry. Cash drawer kept coming up short. Owner couldn't figure it out.

Turned out, half their former employees still had keys. Manager kept a spare under a rock outside. Night cleaning crew had a copy.

We rekeyed everything. Installed a keypad on the back door with codes that expire. Added an alarm that texts the owner when someone enters.

No more mystery shortages. Problem solved.

The Panic Bar That Failed Inspection

Property manager called me from a fire marshal inspection. The inspector was literally standing there waiting.

Panic bar wouldn't retract fully. Had to push it three times to open. Not up to code. Fail.

I was there in 35 minutes. Replaced the worn latches. Adjusted the strike plate. Lubricated the mechanism. Inspector tested it. Passed.

Total time? 45 minutes. The manager didn't have to reschedule. The tenant didn't get fined. Everyone happy.

Should You Get a Master Key System?

If you have more than 5 doors and more than 3 employees with keys? Yes.

Master keys make life easier. Your warehouse guy doesn't need access to the office. Your office manager doesn't need access to the warehouse. But you can get into both with one key.

When someone quits, you rekey just their areas. Not the whole building. Saves money.

What About Access Control? Do I Need It?

Need it? Maybe not. Want it? Probably yes.

Access control gives you three things keys can't: logs, remote access, and instant deactivation.

You can see who's coming and going. You can unlock your door from your phone if an employee forgets their code. You can delete someone's access instantly—no rekeying.

For offices with high turnover or after-hours access, access control pays for itself fast.

Common Questions from Business Owners

Can you work after hours so we don't lose business?

Yes. We do commercial jobs after hours all the time. Nights, weekends, whenever works for you.

Most rekeying jobs? We do them overnight. You close Friday at 6 PM. We show up at 7 PM. We're done by 10 PM. You open Monday with new keys. Zero downtime.

How long does it take to set up a master key system?

Small office (10-15 doors)? One day, maybe two. Large building (50+ doors)? 3-5 days depending on complexity.

We can phase it in too. Do critical doors first, then finish the rest over time.

What happens if my master key gets lost or stolen?

You rekey everything that master opens. It's a pain, but it's the only way to secure the building again.

That's why we recommend restricted keyways for commercial master systems. Keys can only be duplicated by us with your authorization. Employees can't run to Home Depot and make copies.

Will you work with our property management company?

Absolutely. We work with property managers all over Port St. Lucie. We bill you directly. We coordinate with tenants. We handle the whole thing.

Can you fix our panic bar or do we need a new one?

Most panic bars are fixable. Worn latches, bent arms, broken springs—we stock parts for Von Duprin, Detex, and Alarm Lock.

If it's really old or damaged beyond repair, we'll tell you. But we fix first if we can.

Do you install commercial door closers?

Yes. LCN, Norton, Yale. We install them. We adjust them. We fix them when they slam too hard or don't close all the way.

What Types of Businesses Do You Work With?

All of them. Seriously.

Retail stores on U.S. 1. Restaurants on St. Lucie West Boulevard. Medical offices in Tradition. Warehouses near I-95. Property management companies with 50+ units. Schools. Churches. Gyms. You name it.

If it's got a door and a lock, we can secure it.
