Commercial Locksmith Services

Securing Kingston Businesses — From Princess Street to the Business Park

Running a business in Kingston means managing dozens of security concerns that most people never think about. Who has keys to the office? Can your staff access the areas they need without accessing areas they shouldn't? Are your exit doors fire-code compliant? What happens if an employee loses a master key? These are the questions that keep business owners up at night, and they're exactly the problems our commercial locksmith division solves.

We serve businesses of every size across the Kingston area — from single-storefront retailers on Princess Street to multi-unit industrial operations in the Kingston Business Park. Our commercial technicians carry specialized tools and hardware that goes well beyond standard residential locksmithing, including high-security cylinders, master key blanks, commercial-grade door closers, and electronic access control components.

Commercial Solutions

Master Key Systems

A master key system allows management to access all doors with a single key, while individual employees only access their designated areas. This is essential for offices, medical clinics, schools, and multi-tenant buildings. We design custom master key hierarchies — from simple two-level systems (master + individual) to complex grand-master configurations with multiple management tiers. Every system is documented and registered to prevent unauthorized key duplication.

High-Security Lock Systems

Standard locks can be picked, bumped, or duplicated at any hardware store. High-security systems from Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy use patented keyways, pick-resistant pin configurations, and restricted key blanks that can only be duplicated with your written authorization. For businesses handling sensitive data, controlled substances, or valuable inventory, high-security locks are not optional — they're a requirement.

Panic Hardware & Exit Devices

Ontario fire codes require panic bars (crash bars) on exit doors in commercial buildings. These devices allow instant egress in an emergency while preventing unauthorized entry from outside. We install, repair, and maintain panic devices from Von Duprin, Sargent, and Precision, and ensure your installation meets current Ontario Building Code requirements. We also install exit alarm locks that sound when doors are opened — essential for retail loss prevention.

Electronic Access Control

Card readers, keypad entry, and fob-based access systems provide a higher level of control and audit capability than mechanical locks. You can grant and revoke access instantly, track who entered which door and when, and integrate with security cameras and alarm systems. We install standalone and networked systems suitable for everything from a single office door to a multi-site enterprise.

Door Closers & Hardware

A properly functioning door closer is critical for security (doors that don't close don't lock) and ADA/accessibility compliance. We install and adjust commercial door closers from LCN, Norton, and SARGENT, and replace worn hinges, strike plates, and door frames that compromise your building's security envelope.
