Common Questions
How quickly can the rekey process be completed?
The duration of the rekey process depends on the number of locks and the complexity of your master key system. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize downtime, and we coordinate with you to schedule the work at a convenient time, ensuring minimal disruption to your business operations.
Do I need to rekey all locks, or can some remain unchanged?
For security consistency, we recommend rekeying all locks that were accessible with the former employee's keys. However, if your business has specific requirements or areas with differing access needs, we can tailor the rekey strategy to meet those needs while ensuring overall security.
What about electronic locks or digital access controls?
In addition to traditional lock rekeying, our team can also update electronic locks and digital access control systems to revoke the former employee's access. This comprehensive approach ensures that all entry points, whether physical or digital, are secured according to your updated access list.
