Commercial Locks, Keys & Security
Most business burglaries involve forcible entry. Some commercial locks are too flimsy to keep out determined intruders.
Unlocked offices invite opportunity theft. A purse, backpack, or cell phone on a desk becomes a tempting target.

Apartment Locks & Master Keys
We’ll install high-security locks for your tenants and create a master key system so you can enter any apartment or office under your supervision.
Our apartment locksmith services include:
Rekeying: If a tenant has moved out, we’ll change the locks on the unit so that old keys won’t work.
Master key systems: A master key lets you open all doors in the complex. Each tenant has a key that opens only their apartment door.
Lock replacement: We’ll replace any damaged or worn-out locks. And if you want to upgrade your security, we’ll install high-security locks on exterior doors.
Fob systems: Fobs are small electronic keys in a hardened plastic case. They can control entry to apartment gyms, laundry facilities, swimming pools, and other common areas. Fobs let you restrict access to certain hours of the day and monitor who comes and goes.
Balport’s lock technicians are:

Commercial Locks & Security Systems
High-Security Door Locks
High-security door locks are much more difficult to pick or break than standard locks. High-security features include:
- Hardened steel cores, which are almost impossible to drill through.
- Bump-resistant pins are difficult to push out of alignment, which is how many standard locks are opened.
- Anti-pick features make it tough for intruders to pick a lock.
- Reinforced strike plates add extra strength to the door frame.
- Heavy-duty deadbolts are harder to break than standard deadbolts.
Keyless Entry Systems & Access Control
A keyless entry system does away with keys altogether. You can open the door with a code, electronic key, or fingerprint.
Keyless systems are ideal for large commercial operations, where managing hundreds of keys is impractical, or for businesses with high turnover. When an employee leaves, you delete their code or key.
Some keyless entry systems come with access monitoring, which lets you track who comes and goes. For example, you’ll know who was in the office late at night or on the weekend,
Keyless systems are more secure than traditional keyed locks since no physical key can fall into the wrong hands.
The most popular access control systems are biometric, keypad, card key, fob, and magnetic.
- Biometric door locks use your fingerprint, iris, or another physical characteristic to unlock the door.
- Keypad door locks control access via a code punched into a keypad.
- Key card door locks are the most common access control system in American offices (even Dilbert had a card key dangling from his neck.) Swiping the magnetized key card across a sensor releases the lock.
- Fob door locks work like card key locks, but hard plastic-covered fobs are smaller and more durable than card keys.
- A magnetic door lock uses a magnet to secure the door and can be released quickly in an emergency. Movie theaters and many office buildings install magnetic locks on emergency exits.
