A commercial only door and lock outfit

Commercial openings are a trade of their own. This outfit does that trade and nothing else.

The Commercial Lock & Door crew and service van

Most locksmiths are generalists. Commercial hardware is where generalist habits go wrong, because it is a different trade with different standards, different failure modes, and a code inspector attached to it.

Commercial Lock & Door Co. exists to be the other thing. Everything we do is on a commercial opening, for someone who manages a building for a living.

What we actually do

We work on the whole opening rather than just the lock in it. That means the door, the frame, the hinges, the closer, the strike, the exit device, the reader on the wall, and the key control behind all of them.

  • New doors and frames supplied, hung, and finished as one scope
  • Access control designed and installed, readers and credentials included
  • Rekeying and key control, from a single suite to a whole master key system
  • Exit devices, closers, and the hardware that keeps an egress door legal
  • Storefront door repair on aluminum entries that have dropped out of square
  • Hardware specification when a tenant improvement needs a schedule filled in

What we deliberately do not do

We are not a camera company and we are not an alarm monitoring company. We design and install access control, readers, credentials, and controllers included, because that work lives on the door and the door is our trade.

Surveillance packages and monitoring contracts are a different business, and we will point you at people who do them properly.

How we price

Everything is quoted per job. There is no published rate card on this site and there will not be one, because a rate card for commercial hardware is either dishonest or useless.

A closer replacement on an interior office door and a closer replacement on a warped exterior hollow metal door in a coastal wind zone are the same words and completely different jobs.

What you get instead is a written number before work starts, and a straight answer about whether the thing in front of you can be adjusted, repaired, or needs replacing.

Repair before replace

A door that drags is usually a hinge screw pulled out of a soft jamb. A latch that misses is usually a strike that needs moving an eighth of an inch.

A closer that will not hold is often a stripped top jamb rather than a dead closer.

Plenty of outfits quote a replacement because a replacement is a bigger invoice. We would rather tell you it is a twenty-minute fix and get called again next time something breaks.

Questions we get asked

Do you carry stock on the van?

Common closers, cylinders, strikes, and exit device parts, yes. Anything with a specific finish, function, or keyway gets ordered so that it matches what is already in the building rather than approximating it.
