Rekeying Your Kansas City Home

Buying a home is one of the most common reasons to call a locksmith.

Even when previous owners turn over their keys at closing, it can be difficult to know how many duplicates were made over the years. Contractors, former occupants, neighbors, relatives, housekeepers or other individuals could potentially still have old copies.

Rekeying changes the working components inside an existing lock so the previous keys no longer operate it. You receive new keys without necessarily having to replace every piece of door hardware.

A Kansas City homeowner may also want to consider rekeying when:

A key has been lost or stolenA roommate or tenant moves outToo many copies of a key are unaccounted forDifferent doors currently require too many separate keysSecurity concerns have developed at the property

When the existing locks remain in good condition, rekeying can often provide a practical way to regain control over who has working keys.

2

Lock Replacement and Door Hardware Upgrades

Some locks have reached the point where rekeying is not the best solution. Worn cylinders, damaged deadbolts, loose hardware or outdated locks may warrant repair or replacement.

Jim's Lock & Safe can evaluate your doors and help determine whether repair, rekeying or replacement makes sense.

Our Kansas City lock and door hardware services include solutions such as deadbolts, entry hardware, high-security locks, door closers, commercial hardware and keyless entry options.

Home Lockout Assistance

Getting locked outside your house can happen in seconds. A door closes unexpectedly, a key disappears, or an aging lock simply stops functioning.

For urgent lock and key problems, Jim's provides 24/7 emergency locksmith services throughout Kansas City, KS and the greater metro area.

Call (913) 334-5467 for emergency locksmith assistance.

Commercial Services

Commercial Locksmith Services in Kansas City, KS

Kansas City, Kansas includes an unusually diverse mix of commercial properties. Local locksmith needs can range from storefronts and offices to warehouses, industrial properties, restaurants, healthcare facilities and multi-tenant buildings.

The security solution that works for a small office is not necessarily appropriate for a warehouse with multiple entry points or a property where dozens of employees require different levels of access.

Rekeying After Employee or Tenant Turnover

When an employee leaves without returning a key, or when a commercial tenant vacates a property, the issue is not merely replacing the missing piece of metal. The real concern is whether an unauthorized person still has the ability to enter.

Rekeying selected locks makes previously issued keys unusable while allowing the existing hardware to remain in service when appropriate.

For landlords and property managers overseeing multiple units or commercial spaces in Kansas City, a planned rekeying and key-control strategy can also make future turnover easier to manage.

2

Master Key Systems for Kansas City Businesses

A well-designed master key system can provide different people with different levels of access while reducing the number of keys managers need to carry.

For example, an employee might receive a key that opens only a front entrance and specific workspace, while a manager's key can operate additional secured areas.

The design matters. A master key system should reflect your doors, staffing structure, access requirements and security priorities rather than simply giving everyone broader access.

Jim's Lock & Safe can evaluate your property and help create a keying system appropriate for your operation.

3

Commercial Access Control Systems in Kansas City, KS

Businesses that have outgrown traditional keys may benefit from electronic access control.

Instead of distributing physical keys to every employee, access can be managed through credentials such as cards, fobs or codes. When someone's authorization changes, the credential can be changed or removed without necessarily rekeying the entire facility.

Jim's Lock & Safe provides commercial access control systems in Kansas City for offices, warehouses, healthcare properties, retail locations, educational facilities, government buildings and other commercial environments.

Depending on the building and security requirements, solutions may include:

Keypad entry systemsKey fob systemsCard readersElectronic locking hardwareElectric strikesControlled employee entryAccess credentialsIntegration with existing commercial door hardware

Access control can be particularly useful for Kansas City businesses with multiple employees, restricted spaces or frequent staffing changes.
