A lost key is a key-control problem
The first question after a lost commercial key is not how to replace it but what it opened. A key to a single storeroom is an inconvenience. A key to the main entrance, or a master, is a live exposure until the affected cylinders are re-pinned. Working out which doors are involved is the difference between a small job and rekeying a building unnecessarily.
If the key was labelled with an address or a company name, treat it as compromised and act the same day. If it was one of an unlabelled set that could belong to anywhere, the risk is much lower and a proportionate response may be to replace the key and note it. We will give you an honest read rather than pushing the largest option.
Replacing the key itself is usually straightforward: we can cut from an existing key, from the lock's code where records exist, or by decoding the cylinder on site. Systems on restricted keyways take a written authorization from whoever holds the system, which is the point of them.
Frequently asked questions
No, and it is often the wrong response. It depends on what that key opened and whether it could be traced back to your premises. A labelled key to the front door is urgent. One unlabelled key to a storeroom usually is not.
Yes. We can cut from the lock's code where a record exists, or decode the cylinder on site. On a restricted system we will also need written authorization from whoever controls it.
Standard keys are cut on site the same visit. Restricted blanks depend on the authorization step, which is deliberate: it is what makes the system worth having.
