We walk the doors with you first so the scope is clear, whether that is one suite or a whole floor, and we note which doors need which function.
We put the plan and the cost in front of you before we touch a thing, and on larger jobs we can schedule around your hours so the workday keeps moving.
We use hardware rated for the traffic a business door actually sees, not repurposed residential parts that wear out in a season.
When we finish, we test each opening, confirm the keying is right, and walk you through how the system is set up so your team is not guessing.
Most of the calls we take for panic bars & exit devices fall into a handful of familiar shapes. Here are a few we see often around Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle:
A shop manager near the Village District lets a team member go and needs the back-of-house doors rekeyed the same week.
A restaurant near the Village District wants the walk-in and office doors keyed alike so the opening crew carries less.
A medical office needs a server closet and a supply room on restricted keys that cannot be copied at a kiosk.
A storefront panic bar sticks at the end of a long day, and staff have to shove the door to leave.
If we spot something else worth knowing about, a loose hinge, a strike that is about to give, a door that is dropping, we will mention it. You decide what to do about it.
We keep the work area tidy, clean up after a drill or a hardware swap, and leave your door looking like we were never there apart from the lock working better.
For lockouts and rekeys on a home, we may ask for proof that you live there or have the right to be on the property. It protects you as much as anyone, and any honest locksmith should do it.
Whatever the job, you hear the full price before we begin. There is no meter running and no surprise added at the end.
How many doors or locks are involved changes the math. Keying several locks alike in one visit usually works out better per door than calling us back for one lock at a time.
The condition of the door and frame plays a part. A lock that fails because the door has dropped or the strike is chewed up needs that underlying issue fixed, not just the lock swapped.
What a job costs comes down to a few honest things, and we would rather explain them than hide behind a vague number.
The type of lock or hardware matters. A basic cylinder is one thing; a high-security or restricted system is another, and the parts cost more because they do more.
On business doors we handle cylindrical levers, mortise locks, deadbolts, exit devices and panic bars, door closers, and keypad, card, and fob access. We match the function to each door, an entry, a storeroom, a classroom, or an exit, so it behaves the way the room needs it to.
If you are not sure what you have or what you need, that is normal. Tell us what the door is doing, or send a photo, and we will point you the right way before anyone commits to anything.
We are a mobile locksmith based in Raleigh, which means the work happens where you are. Around the city we get out to Brier Creek, Cameron Village, Mordecai, and North Hills regularly, and we cover the wider Triangle including Garner, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Clayton, and Cary.
Because we live and work here, we are used to the doors and hardware common to this area, from older homes inside the beltline to the newer subdivisions and offices going up around the edges of Wake County. That local footing is part of why Panic Bars & Exit Devices tends to go smoothly rather than turning into a guessing game.
Yes. For larger jobs we can schedule before opening, after closing, or in stages so your doors and your day keep moving.
