How can I find a commercial locksmith in Castle Hill who can install a master key system in my office?

Master key systems are handy because with one key you can access all areas in your premises. Commercial locksmiths specialise in this and you should look on the business listings for those that specifically advertise their ability to deliver a master key system.

I’ve heard that a registered key system is more secure than regular keys. Is this true?

For anyone with office space, a warehouse or any facility where it’s important to control access, a registered key system is a good idea. That’s because a registered key system is designed by a commercial locksmith specifically for that premises. The keys are individually numbered, registered and a record can be made of who has each one. Anyone trying to get a duplicate key cut must return to the original locksmith, who will ask for authorisation from the business owner before cutting any new keys.

Can I install a deadbolt lock on a fire door?

No, it’s not legal to have a deadbolt lock on a fire door. This is because fire doors must be self-latching and have a door closing mechanism attached to shut the door and stop the spread of fire. Deadbolts do not self-latch, they need a key or someone to engage the lock manually.

Does a deadbolt have advantages over a regular door lock?

Deadbolt locks are harder to open with force because they are attached more securely into the door frame. Deadbolts do not rely on a spring to keep the latch in place, which makes them harder to jimmy open.

What are the options for front door locks apart from traditional key locks?

Numeric keypads, swipe cards, and home automation are all ways to secure your front door without a key. A local locksmith will be able to give you advice on which is best for your situation.

I want to make sure my employees don’t copy their office keys or give them to colleagues. How can I do this?

A commercial locksmith will be able to help you keep track of your business’s keys with a registered key system. There is a patent or design registration covering this key system, which means that only you can authorise the cutting of new keys. In addition, only the original locksmith is permitted to make copies – other locksmiths will refuse to do it. In addition, each key is stamped with a unique ID, which means you can keep track of which staffer has which key.

Are safe combination locks different from regular locks, and if so how do they work?

The next time you need a safe opening you can ask the emergency locksmith to show you its mechanism. In the meantime, it’s safe to say that safes are different from regular locks. Inside, they have rotating discs with a single groove cut into each one. The grooves in each disc align only when the disc is turned to a predetermined number on the dial. When that happens, a latch falls into the groove that allows you to turn the lever and open the safe.
