About the service
Professional Commercial Lock Change in Northridge
Most calls we get for a commercial lock change in Northridge come down to one of three things: somebody left on bad terms and still has a key, a back door got jimmied over a weekend, or a new tenant just signed a lease on a unit off Reseda Boulevard and has no idea who else carries a copy. The Valley has a lot of older commercial stock here, mixed in with the strip retail and the offices that orbit Cal State Northridge, so the hardware we find is all over the map.
That matters because the fix is rarely "swap the knob." A retail storefront with a glass door usually wants a mortise body and a panic-bar setup that the fire inspector won't flag. A back-of-house office is often a cylindrical lockset that we can rekey or upgrade to Grade 1. We sort out which one you actually have before we touch anything.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Northridge
When we get to your Northridge address, the first thing we do is walk the doors with you. We count entry points, check whether you're on mortise or cylindrical hardware, and look at whether any of it ties into a panic bar or a closer that has to stay code-compliant. If you've got a fired employee in the picture, we figure out fast which doors that person could open and prioritize those.
From there it's a straight call: rekey everything to one new key if the locks are decent and Grade 1 already, or replace the bodies outright if they're worn residential-grade junk that a screwdriver could beat. Most single-storefront jobs wrap in the same visit. We carry commercial cylinders on the van, so a four- or five-door office usually doesn't mean a second trip. After-hours and early-morning slots are normal for us so you're not closing the doors to do it.

Common questions
FAQ
How fast can you change the locks on our business?
For most Northridge storefronts and offices we can be out same-day, and a single storefront usually gets done in one visit. If you've had a break-in or a problem employee, tell us when you call (818) 398-9391 and we'll move you up – we keep commercial cylinders on the van so a small office doesn't turn into a two-day job.
What's the difference between Grade 1 commercial and the residential locks we have now?
Grade 1 is the heaviest commercial rating – the cylinders and latches are built for hundreds of cycles a day and resist drilling and forcing far better than the residential-grade hardware a lot of older Valley units ship with. If your doors take steady traffic from staff and customers, residential locks wear out and get sloppy. We'll tell you on the walkthrough which doors actually justify the upgrade.
Can you do this after hours so we don't have to close?
Yes, and that's how a lot of Northridge businesses near CSUN handle it. We run early-morning and evening slots so the lock change happens while you're closed and you open the next day on new keys with no lost hours. Just let us know your hours when you book.
If we just had turnover, can you rekey every door to one key at once?
Absolutely – that's the most common request after someone leaves. If your hardware is in good shape we rekey all the cylinders to a single new key in one trip, so every old copy that walked out the door is dead and you're carrying one key for the whole place instead of a ring of them.
