Regular Keys
We offer a very wide variety of keys. It is seldom that we do not have the key blank necessary to make a required key. Our key blanks are of the highest quality materials so you can rest assured you are getting the best. We will create your key (by code or by duplication) on the best key machines in the business, that are regularly maintained to be in peak operating condition.
Non-Duplicable Keys
Locks are the most common form of security. Keys obviously are used to control the locks and provide access. Therefore, key duplication has become widespread. Non-duplicable keys provide you with the peace of mind that someone who holds your keys will not be able to get copies made without your knowledge. Keys have several levels of control from simply stamping them "Do Not Copy" (locksmiths will abide by, but will others?), to restricted levels of key blank distribution, to managed systems that can only come from a single locksmith (or distributor). We offer both Schlage Primus and Medeco keyways to provide our clients with significant key control options.
Lever Handles
Lever Handles became necessary with the advent of the American's With Disabilities Act (ADA). Unlike knob type locks that require a grasping and turning motion to open, lever type hardware require just a single motion to release the hardware latch. Therefore, whenever hardware is in a public area, it should be a lever type.
