Six steps to a more secure rental property

Step 1

Rekey After Move Out.

Always rekey after a tenant moves out, so lost or unreturned keys can't be used to get back in. We offer full rekeying, on site or off site.

Step 2

Use Restricted Keys.

Our locksmiths have seen many cases where standard keys were copied again and again. High security restricted keys can't be duplicated without authorization, so you control how many keys exist for your building.

Step 3

Use A Master Key System.

A master key system gives authorized staff one key for every door, while tenants can open only their own unit and shared areas like the laundry room. It also makes emergencies easier to handle. We've designed many of these systems and can build one for your property.

Step 4

Maintain your automatic
door closers.

If your building has one or two main entrances, keeping the automatic door closers on those doors in good shape is important. Heavy daily use wears them out, and we service and replace them.

Step 5

Manage Mailbox Keys.

Mailbox keys are hard to keep track of in multi-unit buildings, which can lead to mail theft or tenants who cannot open their mailboxes. We rekey and replace mailbox locks.

Step 6

Reprogram Garage Door Openers.

When tenants move out, we can reprogram your garage door openers and remotes. Securing the doors, controlling keys, and covering other entry points like garages and mailboxes all work together to keep your property and tenants safe. Not sure where to start? We offer free security surveys to point out areas of concern.
