Commercial door services
Commercial hardware is built differently
Commercial doors see hundreds of cycles a day, and their hardware is heavier for it: mortise locks rather than tubular ones, narrow-stile aluminum storefront locks with hook bolts, closers, and exit devices that must release with a single push from inside. Repairs and replacements have to match what the door was built for, keep the door latching under a closer's pressure, and never compromise the way out.
The work covered here is lockouts, repair, rekeying and replacement of existing mechanical locks and exit hardware — the locks and devices already on your doors, kept working and kept under your control.
Businesses around Buffalo Grove
The area mixes strip-mall retail along Dundee Road, Milwaukee Avenue and Route 83, office parks along Lake-Cook Road, and light-industrial buildings in Wheeling and the surrounding communities. Each has its own typical hardware: aluminum storefront doors in retail, lever locksets and suites in offices, steel doors and padlocks in warehouses. Winter salt and slush are hard on all of it — thresholds and the bottom of storefront doors corrode first.

Common questions
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes. Lockouts are handled 24/7. For planned work like rekeying or lock replacement, ask about scheduling before opening or after closing.
What should I tell you about a commercial job?
The type of door (aluminum storefront, steel, wood), the hardware on it, how many doors are involved, and when the work can happen without disrupting the business. Photos help when scheduling planned work.
Can you rekey all the locks in our office to one key?
Often, if the cylinders share a compatible keyway. Mixed hardware may need cylinder changes first.
