  2. Avoid DIY lock picking or forceful entry – This can damage your property or void warranties.
  3. Call DC Mobile Locksmith right away – Our dispatch team will send a licensed commercial locksmith to your location.

Frequently asked questions


You should change your commercial locks after employee turnover, a break-in, lost or stolen keys, or when upgrading your security system. Regular lock changes can help prevent unauthorized access and keep your property secure.

We replace a wide range of commercial locks including mortise locks, rim cylinder locks, keyless entry systems, panic bars, smart locks, magnetic locks, and high-security deadbolts. Our technicians are trained to work with all major brands and lock types.

Rekeying alters the internal pins of an existing lock so old keys no longer work, while lock changing involves replacing the entire lock. Rekeying is ideal for cost-effective key control; changing locks is recommended for damaged or outdated hardware.

Most commercial lock changes take between 20 and 60 minutes per lock, depending on the lock type, door configuration, and whether custom hardware is involved. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business.

Yes. DC Mobile Locksmith can upgrade your existing locks to high-security, keyless, or smart lock systems that offer features like access control, audit trails, and remote entry. We’ll recommend the best system for your business needs and budget.
