The Importance of Key Control

<img src="https://dcr-apis.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/Article_Webp/Justin.webp" alt="undefined" style="height: auto;width: auto"/> Originally written by Justin Eaglin of Foothill Locksmiths, Inc. A crucial part of ensuring the security of your business is establishing key control—that is, knowing who has access to your property. When moving into a new business space, one of the first things you should do is have all the door locks rekeyed. This is extremely important for any property that previously had occupants, as there’s no way to know who may still have keys to the existing locks. By having all locks rekeyed at the outset, you can avoid any potential for burglary or intrusion. Furthermore, while changing out locks entirely can be an expensive endeavor, rekeying is a comparatively simple and affordable measure.  While rekeying locks is a crucial aspect of key control, there are further measures you can take to limit access to your facility. Since keys to most standard locks can be copied at a hardware or department store with no questions asked, you may want to consider upgrading to high-security locks. These locks are UL Listed for “bump and pick resistance,” and they also have patented key systems that enable only authorized individuals to get key copies made. While you may feel hesitant to spend the extra money on a high-security lock, it can be a good investment when it comes to the security of your business.  <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies</a> Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/santa-clara-locksmith/" target="_self">Santa Clara County Locksmiths</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/san-mateo-locksmith/" target="_self">San Mateo County Locksmiths</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/janitorial-services/ca/sonoma-county/" target="_self">Sonoma County Janitorial Service Providers</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/san-francisco-janitorial-services/" target="_self">San Francisco Janitorial Service Providers</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/marin-janitorial-services/" target="_self">Marin County Janitorial Service Providers</a> Related Articles <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/commercial-office-services/" target="_self">The Essential Guide to Commercial Office Services</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>
