The high-security & restricted-key locks process
What to expect when you call Locks Around the Clock for high-security & restricted-key locks.
- Step 1
We assess your doors and risk
We look at your exterior doors, who holds keys today, and how keys keep getting copied or lost. That tells us which doors truly need a high-security upgrade and which do not. Call (760) 625-0955.
- Step 2
We spec the right system
We match you to a patented, restricted-keyway line like Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or ASSA, and set up your key control so only named people can authorize a new key.
- Step 3
We install and register your keys
We fit the high-security cylinders and deadbolts, cut your restricted keys, and register your key card so future copies require your signature, not just a walk-in request.
- Step 4
We manage keys as things change
When staff turn over or a key goes missing, we add or void authorized keys and rekey as needed, so your key control keeps working long after install.
