About the service
Professional Commercial Lock Change in Pasadena
Most calls we get for changing locks at a Pasadena business follow one of two events: a manager just let someone go, or somebody pried a back door over the weekend. Either way, the old key is now a problem. We handle storefronts along Colorado Boulevard, offices near the Lake Avenue corridor, and the small industrial bays toward the 210 and the Foothill side of town. The fix is rarely a hardware-store deadbolt. It's swapping worn or builder-grade cylinders for Grade 1 commercial locks that survive daily traffic.
Pasadena's older buildings complicate things. A lot of pre-war storefronts and Craftsman-era commercial spaces still run mortise locks, while newer suites use cylindrical levers. We carry both and match what your door already wears.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Pasadena
When we get to your location, the first thing we do is read the doors. We check whether you're on a mortise body or a cylindrical bore, whether the exit device has a rim cylinder that also needs changing, and whether panic bars on your egress doors have to stay code-compliant after the swap. A glass-front suite near Old Pasadena gets handled differently than a stockroom door off a parking structure. Then we quote per opening, not a vague flat number.
Timing depends on how many doors and what grade. A single back-door cylinder is usually under an hour. A full storefront, office suite, and rear exit might run a couple of hours. If you can't lose floor time, we come after close or before opening, so the changeover happens while you're dark. Most jobs land in the low-to-mid hundreds depending on door count and hardware.

Common questions
FAQ
How fast can you change the locks at our business?
For a single door we're usually wrapped within an hour of arrival. A full Pasadena storefront with a rear exit and an office suite is more like two to three hours. If you've just had a break-in or a sudden departure, tell us when you call (818) 398-9391 and we'll prioritize getting the compromised opening secured first.
What's the difference between Grade 1 and residential locks?
Grade 1 is the commercial standard, ANSI-rated for far more cycles and force than the residential-grade hardware sold at big-box stores. A door at a Lake Avenue office gets opened hundreds of times a day; a builder-grade lever wears out and gets sloppy fast. Grade 1 mortise and cylindrical bodies are what we install on commercial doors.
Can you come after hours so we don't have to close?
Yes, and it's how a lot of our commercial work gets done. We schedule the changeover after you lock up for the night or before you open, so your Pasadena business never loses floor time. We're available around the clock for that, and for emergency lockouts.
Can you rekey or change all our doors at once?
We can. After staff turnover or a lease handover, most owners want every opening on a fresh key so old copies are dead. We'll change or rekey all your doors in one visit and key them alike, or set up a master so managers carry one key and staff carry another.
