What Is a Commercial Locksmith?
A commercial locksmith is a trained professional who specialises in the installation, maintenance, and repair of commercial door locks and other security devices. A commercial door locksmith may have more experience with large buildings and commercial security systems like digital locks and keycards.
Locksmiths for commercial buildings can help you with all aspects of your commercial door lock needs, including installing new locks, repairing or replacing existing locks, and even providing help if you should get locked out.
Commercial Locksmith Services
Commercial locksmiths provide a variety of services to keep your property safe, secure, and under your control.
Lock and Key Repair or Replacement
One of the most common business locksmith services is repairing or replacing a commercial door lock. If you have an issue with a lock, it is important to get it fixed as soon as possible so that your business is not put at risk.
New Lock Installation
A commercial locksmith can also install new door locks. This might be something that you need if you are moving into new premises or if you want to upgrade the security of your existing property.
Master Key Systems
Another locksmith service that can be extremely useful for businesses is the installation of a master key system. This type of system allows you to have one key that will open all of the doors on your premises.
Master key systems are beneficial if you have many employees or need to give access to different parts of your building to different people.
Upgraded Security Systems
As well as commercial door locks, commercial locksmiths can also upgrade your security system. This might include installing digital locks or keycard systems.
Lockout Assistance
If you should ever find yourself locked out of your commercial premises, a commercial locksmith can help you get back in. This is one of the most common services that commercial locksmiths provide.
Replacement Keys
If you lose your only set of keys to your commercial premises, a commercial locksmith will cut replacement keys for you. The locksmith will create a new key by hand, without needing the original.
Key Duplication
If you need more than one set of keys for your commercial premises, a commercial locksmith can make duplicates.

Commercial Locksmiths FAQs
There is currently a licensing scheme that is put in place by the Master Locksmiths Association but it is not obligatory. Always check the reviews before you work with a commercial locksmith to ensure they’re reliable and trustworthy.
They will usually check your photo ID but also ask for a bill that shows the name and address of the property they are letting you into. It is a good idea to have proof that you are leasing the property, or that you are the owner of the premises.
The best way to prove a commercial locksmith is legitimate is by asking to see their proof of insurance and accreditation. Any professional locksmith will expect you to ask for this information.
There is no regulation in the industry which means that choosing a commercial locksmith wisely is crucial. Check the reviews and only work with recommended companies.
Commercial locksmiths in the UK typically charge between £65 and £200 per job, depending on factors like job complexity, time, and required materials. Emergency call-out fees are generally charged at around £50 to £150 (all prices are excluding VAT).
Commercial locksmiths have the experience and expertise to deal with the specific security needs of UK businesses. They’re aware of the latest security products and tech and can provide a wider range of services than a regular locksmith.
If you are locked out of your business, the first thing you should do is call a reputable commercial locksmith company. Don’t attempt to break in yourself as you could damage the door or locking mechanism, making the problem worse.
If your business has been broken into, the first thing you should do is call the police. Once the police arrive, you can then call a commercial locksmith to secure the premises and repair damaged locks or doors.
