Whether you're replacing outdated hardware, adding a lock to a new door, upgrading security, or changing the way employees access your building, we can help determine the right hardware for your application.

Call (360) 661-8298 to schedule commercial lock installation.

 

Commercial Door Lock Installation

Commercial lock hardware is available in many different configurations, and selecting the correct lock depends on the door, its use, and the level of security required.

NorthWest Lock & Key installs many types of commercial lock and door hardware, including:

  • Commercial lever locks

  • Commercial deadbolts

  • Mortise locks

  • Storefront door locks

  • Narrow-stile locks

  • Keypad locks

  • Electronic locks

  • High-security lock cylinders

  • Restricted key systems

  • Interchangeable core locks

  • Replacement lock cylinders

  • Other commercial door hardware

We'll evaluate the existing door and hardware before determining what type of lock is appropriate.

 

Commercial Lever Lock Installation

Commercial-grade lever locks are commonly used on offices, businesses, interior rooms, employee entrances, and other frequently used doors.

Unlike basic residential hardware, quality commercial locks are designed for heavier use and are available in different functions depending on how the door needs to operate.

Applications can include:

  • Office doors

  • Employee entrances

  • Storage rooms

  • Utility rooms

  • Interior business doors

  • Exterior entrances

  • Restrooms

  • Manager offices

  • Restricted areas

We can help determine the appropriate lock function for each door.

 

Storefront Lock Installation

Aluminum storefront doors require specialized narrow-stile hardware.

NorthWest Lock & Key installs and replaces many common storefront lock components used on retail stores, offices, restaurants, and other commercial properties.

Depending on the door and application, storefront hardware may include:

  • Deadlatches

  • Hook bolts

  • Mortise cylinders

  • Thumbturns

  • Interior paddles

  • Lever hardware

  • Electric strikes

  • Replacement lock cylinders

  • Key-operated storefront locks

Proper alignment and adjustment are especially important with storefront hardware to ensure the door locks and latches reliably.

 

Commercial Deadbolt Installation

Deadbolts can provide additional security on compatible commercial doors.

NorthWest Lock & Key can replace existing commercial deadbolts or, when appropriate, prepare compatible doors for new hardware.

We'll make sure the bolt and strike are properly aligned so the lock operates smoothly and fully engages the door frame.

 

Keypad & Electronic Lock Installation

Electronic keypad locks can provide businesses with convenient access without issuing a traditional key to every employee.

Depending on the hardware selected, electronic locks may provide features such as:

  • Keyless entry

  • Individual access codes

  • Temporary codes

  • Scheduled access

  • Audit capabilities

  • Automatic locking

  • Mechanical key override

  • Programmable users

We can install many standalone commercial keypad and electronic locks and make sure the mechanical hardware is properly fitted and adjusted.

For businesses requiring centralized management of multiple doors or users, a dedicated access control system may be a better solution.

 

High-Security Lock Installation

Businesses that need greater control over physical keys may benefit from high-security or restricted key systems.

Depending on the selected system, these locks can provide increased resistance to common forms of manipulation along with better control over unauthorized key duplication.

High-security systems can be useful for:

  • Offices

  • Retail businesses

  • Commercial facilities

  • Property management

  • Warehouses

  • Restricted areas

  • Buildings with numerous employees

  • Businesses concerned about unauthorized key copies

NorthWest Lock & Key can evaluate your existing hardware and discuss available security upgrades.

 

Master Key Systems

Installing new commercial locks is also a good opportunity to establish a more organized key system.

A master key system can allow different employees to access designated areas while providing managers or other authorized personnel with broader access.

For example, an employee key may operate only a specific entrance and office while a manager's master key operates multiple doors throughout the building.

Master key systems can be designed for properties ranging from small businesses to larger facilities with numerous doors.

 

Key Multiple Commercial Locks Alike

Not every business needs a full master key system.

If you simply want multiple compatible doors to operate with the same key, we may be able to install or rekey the locks so one key operates several entrances.

This can reduce the number of keys employees need to carry and simplify access throughout the property.

​

​

Replacing Old Commercial Locks

Commercial locks experience significantly more use than most residential hardware.

Over time, internal components can wear, loosen, or become unreliable.

Lock replacement may be appropriate when:

  • Existing hardware is heavily worn

  • Locks frequently stick or bind

  • Levers are loose or sagging

  • The lock no longer secures properly

  • Hardware has been physically damaged

  • Replacement parts are no longer available

  • Existing hardware doesn't meet the property's needs

  • You're upgrading the building's security or access system

If your existing hardware can be economically repaired, we'll discuss that option as well.

 

New Commercial Door Lock Preparation

Some commercial doors need to be prepared or modified before new lock hardware can be installed.

Depending on the door, frame, and selected hardware, NorthWest Lock & Key may be able to perform the necessary lock preparation and installation.

Commercial doors vary considerably, so we'll inspect the application before determining what work is required.

 

Choosing the Right Commercial Lock

The most expensive lock isn't automatically the best lock for every door.

A public entrance, employee-only entrance, storage room, office, and restricted area can all have different security and access requirements.

We'll consider factors such as:

  • Door type

  • Amount of daily use

  • Interior or exterior location

  • Required lock function

  • Number of authorized users

  • Key control requirements

  • Existing hardware

  • Desired security level

  • Future access-control needs

The goal is to install hardware appropriate for how the door is actually used.
