The locks on a business take more abuse than any home lock, and they protect more: stock, records, cash and people.

Master Locksmith installs commercial locks for offices, storefronts, restaurants, warehouses, clinics and apartment buildings across Silver Spring and the region. We help you choose hardware that suits the door and the traffic it sees, then install it so it runs smoothly for years.
Common upgrades include Grade 1 levers and deadbolts, keypad locks, high security cylinders and panic bars on exit doors. We handle installs for businesses in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, the District, Baltimore and Northern Virginia. To talk through a project, call (301) 888-5152 between 8am and 8pm, Monday through Saturday.

Choosing the Right Commercial Lock

Commercial hardware covers a lot of ground. These are the things we weigh with you before anything goes on the door.

Built for Heavy Use

Grade 1 commercial locks are tested to far more cycles than residential hardware. For main entrances and busy interior doors, they're worth the difference.

Lever Handles for Accessibility

ADA guidelines call for door hardware that works without tight grasping or twisting. Lever handles meet that where round knobs don't, and we install them on commercial doors.

High Security Options

High security cylinders resist picking and drilling, and their keys can't be copied without authorization. They suit pharmacies, offices holding records, and anywhere key control matters.

Keyed to Your System

New locks can be keyed to your existing keys or built into a master key system, so new hardware doesn't mean handing out a pile of new keys.

Exit Rules Kept in Mind

Exit doors generally need to open from inside without a key or special knowledge. We install exit hardware with that in mind while keeping the outside secure.

When to Replace Business Locks

Repair and rekeying solve a lot, but replacement is the better call in these cases.

Worn or Failing Hardware

Locks that keep needing repairs, loose levers and cylinders that grind are telling you they're done. Replacing them on your schedule beats replacing them in a hurry.

Lock Damaged by Force

Bent bolts, cracked housings and torn strikes don't protect anyone. We replace the hardware and reinforce the frame where we can.

Adding Panic Bars

Doors that serve as exits often need panic hardware. We install push bar exit devices, with outside trim and a key cylinder if staff need to come in that way.

Moving to Keyless Entry

Keypad locks let you change codes when staff change, with no keys to collect. We install standalone keypads on offices, stockrooms and back doors.

New Owners or New Tenants

A new owner or tenant often wants a clean start with new locks. We can replace everything at once and set up the keys the way your business needs them.

Apartment and condo managers: we also replace locks on unit doors, mailrooms and common area doors, and can key them to work with your building’s master key.

How a Commercial Lock Replacement Works

1. Call or Send a Request

Call (301) 888-5152 to talk about which doors need new hardware, what's on them now and what you'd like to improve. The form works too.

We book a time that keeps your business running and arrive with the hardware and tools for the job.

We remove the old locks, prepare the doors, install the new hardware and adjust closers and strikes as needed.

5. Testing Before We Finish

Every door is tested for locking, latching and easy exit from inside, with every key or code we issue.

6. Before We Leave

You get your keys or codes and a short walkthrough of anything new, and we take the old hardware away.

Commercial Lock Replacement Questions

What's the difference between residential and commercial locks?

Commercial locks are built heavier, rated for more use and often take interchangeable cores or high security cylinders. A residential lock on a busy business door wears out fast.

Do my exit doors need panic bars?

It depends on the building, how it’s used and how many people are inside. If you’re not sure, your local fire marshal or building inspector can confirm, and we can install what’s required.

Can new locks use my existing keys?

Often, yes, if the new locks share your keyway or accept your current cylinders. We’ll tell you before anything is ordered.
