Communal Doors, Master Key Suites & Panic Hardware

Running a business is complicated enough without worrying about who's got a key to what. Over the years I've done a fair bit of work with landlords, property managers, and business owners around Borehamwood and the surrounding areas, and the same few jobs come up again and again. Here's a rundown of what I do.

Communal door entry systems

Blocks of flats and shared office buildings live and die by their communal doors. If yours isn't closing properly, isn't locking securely, or residents are propping it open because the buzzer system's playing up, that's a security risk I can usually sort in one visit — whether it's a mechanical lock, a keypad, or an electronic entry system.

Door closers

A door closer doing its job properly is one of those things nobody notices until it stops working. If a fire door isn't closing and latching on its own, that's not just annoying, it's a compliance issue. I fit, repair, and adjust door closers so doors close at the right speed and actually latch shut every time, which matters for both security and fire safety.

Keyed alike systems

If you're sick of carrying five different keys for five different doors on the same site, a keyed alike system means one key opens every lock you want it to. Simple to set up, and it makes day-to-day access a lot less of a faff for you and your staff.

Master key suites

This is the next step up from keyed alike, and it's especially useful if you manage a building with different access levels — cleaners, staff, and management all needing different combinations of doors. A master suite means everyone carries only the keys they need, while you (or your management team) hold a master key that opens everything. I design and install these from scratch, or extend existing suites if you're adding more doors.

Panic hardware

Push bars and panic exit devices aren't just a legal requirement on a lot of commercial premises, they're what gets people out safely in an emergency. I supply and fit panic hardware to current safety standards, and I can service or replace existing units that have started sticking or aren't latching properly, which is more common than you'd think.

FAQs

Do you work with landlords and property managers, or just individual businesses?

Both. I do regular work for landlords and managing agents on communal doors and shared entry systems, as well as one-off jobs for individual shop and office owners.

Can you match a new lock to my existing keyed alike or master suite?

Yes — if you've already got a system in place, I can extend it rather than starting from scratch, as long as I can check the existing setup first.

Is panic hardware a legal requirement for my premises?

It depends on the building and how many people use it, so I'd rather have a look and give you a straight answer than guess over the phone.

Do you offer emergency call-outs for commercial premises, not just homes?

Yes, 24/7 — a broken communal door or a lock failure at a business is still an emergency, and I treat it as one.
