Keep Your Business Secure and Accessible

Commercial lock service for businesses throughout South Atlanta, Georgia

Your business in South Atlanta depends on locks that work every time employees arrive, vendors make deliveries, and customers walk through your doors. A key that sticks in a retail storefront lock on a Saturday morning or a panic bar that fails inspection can interrupt operations and create security gaps you cannot afford to ignore.

ATD Automotive Locksmith, LLC provides commercial lock service for offices, retail stores, warehouses, and light industrial properties across South Atlanta. The service includes lock installation, lock replacement, rekeying for employee turnover, master key systems that give managers controlled access, and repair of worn or damaged door hardware that sees constant use throughout the workday.

Call to schedule commercial lock service for your business location in South Atlanta.

What happens during a commercial service call

When you schedule service in South Atlanta, the work begins with an inspection of your current lock hardware, door alignment, and how the locking mechanism engages the strike plate. You will see the locksmith test each key, check for worn pins inside the cylinder, and measure the backset to confirm compatibility with replacement components if needed.

After the work is finished, your doors lock smoothly without resistance, keys turn without forcing, and you have a clear record of which employees hold keys and which locks they open. If you requested rekeying, old keys no longer function, and only the new set you receive will operate the updated cylinders.

The service covers standard commercial-grade locks and hardware built for high-traffic doors in retail corridors, strip centers, and mixed-use developments common throughout South Atlanta. It does not include electronic access control systems, biometric readers, or gate operators, though basic troubleshooting of mechanical panic bars and exit devices is part of the standard call.

Questions business owners typically ask before booking

Business owners and property managers in South Atlanta often have similar concerns before scheduling lock work, especially when coordinating around operating hours or managing access for multiple employees.

What does rekeying a commercial lock involve?
Rekeying replaces the pins inside the lock cylinder so your existing hardware stays in place but old keys stop working. You receive a new set of keys that match the updated pin configuration, and the process typically takes less than thirty minutes per door.
How does a master key system work for a business?
A master key system lets you create different levels of access so managers carry a master key that opens all doors while individual employees receive keys limited to specific rooms or entry points. The locksmith pins each cylinder to respond to both the master key and the individual key assigned to that lock.
When should a business replace locks instead of repairing them?
You should replace locks when the cylinder housing is cracked, the keyway is visibly damaged from forced entry attempts, or the internal springs have weakened to the point where the lock no longer holds the bolt securely in place.
How long does commercial lock installation take?
Installation time depends on the number of doors and whether new holes need to be drilled, but most single-door installations with standard commercial hardware take between forty-five minutes and an hour. If you are upgrading multiple doors in a retail space or office suite, the locksmith will provide a time estimate based on the scope of work.
