- High security cylinder upgrades. Drill and pick resistant cylinders for doors that need more than a standard lock.

What is the difference between a commercial and a residential locksmith job?
Commercial hardware is specified for cycle count and code compliance, residential hardware is not. An aluminum storefront door cycles hundreds of times a day, and residential-grade parts fitted to it typically fail within weeks, which is why the same door keeps needing repair.
How much does commercial locksmith work cost?
Starting at a quote after a quick survey of the doors. Larger jobs are surveyed and quoted before any work is scheduled.
How long does it take?
Single door repairs usually run 60 to 120 minutes. Rekeying a whole building or fitting a master key system is scheduled and quoted after a survey.
Should we rekey or replace after losing a key to the building?
Rekey, in most cases. Replacing every cylinder in a building costs several times more and achieves the same outcome when the hardware is sound. Replacement is worth it only where the existing locks were already failing or are too weak for the doors they are on.
Can you work outside our opening hours?
Yes. Most commercial work in Austin is scheduled before opening or after close so we are not standing in the middle of your trade.
Who typically needs this service?
Retail units, offices, restaurants, warehouses and multi-tenant buildings, particularly after staff changes or when a public-facing door starts failing.
