Locksmith Chester provides security solutions for shops, offices and business premises in Chester CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4, from the city centre around Eastgate Clock and the Rows to offices at Chester Business Park. We handle business lockouts, roller shutters, master keys and access control and can attend within 30-60 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Lock, Shutter and Access Faults We Fix Across Chester
We cover business lockouts, shutters, cylinders, glass door locks, safes & access control and arrange every callout based on your location. Commercial callouts typically start from £90 and every door will be quoted individually.
Business Lockouts
Being locked out of your place of work at the beginning of your working day costs you money by the minute! We specialise in the commercial sector and are able to reach most city centre addresses within 30 to 60 minutes and can gain entry to offices at Chester Business Park. We always endeavour to use non-destructive methods of gaining entry.
Before calling, please consider:
- Can a keyholder/manager/landlord get you a spare key? If not, then please call us.
- Have your full address/postcode ready.
- Be able to prove you have authority to gain access; we need to see your lease or staff pass/letter from the landlord before entry will be permitted.
- Let us know if the business has an alarm so that our engineer will be aware when arriving.
Roller Shutters and Shopfronts
The shops around Eastgate Clock and in the Rows have shutters and glass doors in use for much of the day, so we expect them to show signs of wear and tear. We normally repair rather than replace any shutters that don't lock or slide correctly and make sure they work well before leaving.
A glass door or aluminium shopfront may stop working because a lock has worn loose or a locking mechanism no longer catches. We always let you know the reason before we decide to replace it.
Safes, Cylinders and Access Control Across Chester
Storage units can see a lot of use, especially if they’re located in busy areas of Sealand Road, so worn or lost cylinders are a regular call-out. If you have one of the original keys, we can either copy it or change the cylinder if that’s more suitable. Without a key we’ll talk you through your options before we start work. We also fit and open safes, using the least destructive option available.
Larger work premises, especially those based in areas like the Chester Business Park will often have a card- or fob-operated electronic access control system fitted. We can fit, service and fix these, making sure your staff can access their work environment in a secure manner.
Commercial Keyed-Alike and Master Key Systems
Keyed-alike locks mean that more than one lock will open with the same key. For example, you may have a shop that has a front and a back door, a storeroom and a staff room, and you may want this all to be operated with one key. In this case the locks can be set up so that they will work in this way.
A similar system but slightly more elaborate is that of master keys. For example, you may have a large office building (in the city centre or at Chester Business Park) that is occupied by different tenants or has numerous different departments. You may want a manager to be able to open all the doors but only allow access to some doors for certain staff. A master keyed system would allow this.
We will be able to quote you on either of these types of system once we have been able to look at the doors concerned.
