Commercial locksmith services
Doors, hardware, access and keys for businesses, property managers, facilities groups and institutions across North Jersey. Licensed, bonded, insured, and set up to work the way procurement departments need us to.
Start with the evaluation
Commercial problems do not quote over the phone. A door that will not latch could be the closer, the hinges, the frame, the strike, or the building settling — and the person describing it to you is usually not the person who will fix it.
So we sell the diagnosis as its own thing. $250, on site, and we tell you what is wrong and what it costs. In most cases we fix it on the same visit, because the truck is already there and stocked.

The work nobody advertises
Two things we do a lot of that almost no locksmith website mentions:
Continuous hinges
Commercial doors hang on hinges or pivots and both wear out. The default fix is to replace the pivot and be back in two years. A continuous hinge runs the full height of the door, spreads the load, and lasts about a decade. It costs more once and less over the life of the door.
Electric strikes and the frame metalwork they need
Fitting an electric strike properly means cutting the frame, setting the tabs, and making it look like it was always there — surface mounted or recessed. Access control integrators frequently subcontract exactly this to us, because they want to run wire and commission a system, not do metalwork on a door frame. If you are an integrator, that is an open invitation.
What commercial customers say
We had excellent service. Timothy, the Locksmith arrived within a half hour of phone call. He repaired two locks for us and new keys for our front door. I would definitely recommend his service and I would definitely call him again if I needed him
Geraldine M.Google review
Timothy from Major Key Locksmith was such a nice and honest guy. He did a great job rekeying the locks at my house in Hasbouck Heights. He explained how the keypad works and was so patient with me. He is a very polite and cleaned up after the job was done. Would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.
Ann M.Google review
Called Tim this morning problem with two anderson French doors locks one not locking one loose handle keeps falling off. Tim was great fast efficient and resolved both issues quickly. We are in north caldwell private home in essex county. Highly recommend Tim he comes out and does the work himself.
Rima N.Google review
Excellent service and attention to detail. Tim was able to troubleshoot a number of mechanical issues with competence and creativity. Got everything working smoothly and efficiently. Tech options explained clearly. Highly recommended!
Julie G.Google review
Those are real, and they are quoted exactly as written — but they are still five we chose. Read them where they live — unedited, in whatever order Google puts them, including any we would rather you skipped.
400+ reviews is not a handful of friends. It is nine years of doors.

Commercial questions
How do I get a price for commercial work?
Book the $250 door and hardware evaluation. We come out, diagnose what is actually wrong, and quote it. In most cases we fix it on the same visit — which is why the evaluation is the single most useful thing we sell to a business.
What is a do-not-exceed amount?
A dollar figure you set in advance that we are authorised to work up to without calling for approval. Set it at five hundred and a sticking door gets fixed on the first visit. Leave it blank and you get a written estimate first and nothing happens until you approve it. Both are fine — the field exists so you choose.
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes. Your PO number goes on the invoice, along with unit or door numbers so your records reconcile to ours. NET 15 opens up once we have completed two jobs for you; the first is card on delivery.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes, on request, naming your entity as additional insured where required. We are bonded and insured through State Farm, carrying both commercial general liability and commercial automobile liability.
What commercial hardware do you actually work on?
Door closers, panic bars and exit devices, electric strikes including the frame metalwork they need, continuous hinges, mortise cylinders, storefront hardware, master key systems and high-security cylinders. The metalwork is worth calling out — a lot of access control companies subcontract that to us because they would rather run wire than cut a frame.
Are you available outside business hours?
Yes, 24/7. After 5 PM the mobile service charge is $350, collected before dispatch, and dispatch is subject to technician availability. Scheduled after-hours work for businesses that cannot lose trading time is arranged in advance at the same rate.
The thing we notice that you have stopped seeing
Every time we are on a commercial site we look at the doors. Not because we are selling you something — because after enough years it is impossible not to. A closer with one fixing left in it. A panic bar that is not quite latching. A hinge slowly tearing out of the frame.
These are not maintenance problems, they are liability problems. A commercial door closer is heavy. When one finally lets go it either comes down on somebody, or it takes the glass out on the way — and one of those is an injury claim and the other is a new door. Both cost many times what tightening it would have.
The reason it gets left is always the same: nothing bad happens on the day you decline the repair. It happens later, to somebody else, on a day nobody planned for.
There is an old line about paying the grocer or paying the doctor — spend
on decent food now, or spend a great deal more later treating what it cost you. Commercial doors
work the same way.
You are going to pay the locksmith or you are going to pay the liability. One of those
two bills is arriving.
If we see something on your doors, we will tell you — whether or not you hire us to fix it. And if you would rather we looked properly, ask: we will walk every public-facing door, check the fixings, the closers, the latching and the hardware, and put what we find in writing so you have it on file.
What we guarantee on commercial work
- 90 days on our labour, on every job. Rekeys, lockouts, door adjustments, installations — residential or commercial, the same number either way. If something we did comes loose, sticks, or stops working the way we left it, we come back and put it right at no charge.
- MK-line smart locks — 2 years on the lock itself. If an MK-1, MK-2 or MK-3 we supplied gives you trouble inside two years, we come out, replace the unit and fit the new one free — the visit and the fitting included. Not a manufacturer's call centre, not a returns form. Us. This is the one place we guarantee the hardware, because it is the one lock we chose.
- Other locks we supply — Mul-T-Lock, Kwikset, Schlage, Master Lock — carry their manufacturer's warranty on the hardware, and we file that claim for you rather than handing you a phone number. Our labour on them is the 90-day baseline above.
- What none of it covers: damage, forced entry, or a lock that was sound when we left and has been attacked since.
