Commercial LocksmithsCape Town
When a door at your business stops working, trading stops with it. We come out to shopfronts, offices, storerooms and industrial units across Cape Town, fix what has failed, and leave you holding every key that opens it.
Commercial locksmith services
Keep the doors working, and decide who is able to open them.
A commercial locksmith works on the doors a business actually uses: shopfronts, retail floors, offices, storerooms and industrial units. That means high-traffic locking devices, door closers, fire escapes and panic hardware — the things that have to keep working while people are still moving through them.
It matters who you call. A residential locksmith does not always carry the equipment or the training for the standard of security a business needs. Our technicians install new locks, key them the way you want them keyed, repair the hardware you already have, and maintain it so a busy door does not fail on a trading day.
The work covers commercial door locks and door closers, file cabinet locks, master system re-keys, high security commercial locks, door installation and repair, gates and iron works, intercom systems, exit devices and safe installation.

We help in these situations
Start with what has gone wrong at the building. We will tell you whether it is a repair, a rekey, or hardware that has reached the end of its life.

Common questions
If your building or your problem is not covered here, call and describe it.
Do you work on businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Commercial work is a large part of what we do: retail, offices, industrial units and body corporates. A business door is used far more heavily than a front door at home, so it needs hardware rated for that traffic.
A staff member left with keys. What are my options?
Depending on the locks, we can rekey the existing cylinders or re-key a master system so the old keys stop working. That is usually faster and cheaper than replacing every lock in the building.
Can you come out after trading hours?
Yes. We run a 24-hour callout, so lock work can happen outside trading hours when that suits the business better.
Can one key open several doors?
That is exactly what keyed alike and master key systems do. Keyed alike gives you one key for several doors. A master system gives staff their own keys while a master key still opens everything.
Do you supply the locks, or do we?
We supply and install, and everything we fit carries its manufacturer warranty. If you have already bought hardware, we can fit that instead.
