Commercial locks in Phoenix
Commercial lock work is mostly about deciding who gets through which door, and changing that list when staff come and go. In practice that means rekeys, master key systems, restricted keys and, more each year, keypads and card readers.

What businesses call about
The most common call follows a departure: a manager quits or a tenant moves out and nobody is sure how many copies of the key exist. Rekeying the cylinders fixes that in an afternoon. Owners who want a tidier setup ask for a master key system, where the owner's key opens everything and each employee's key opens only their own doors. Restricted keyways go a step further, since blanks for them are sold only to the locksmith who set up the system and copies need the owner's authorization card.
Fire exits are their own category. Panic bars and door closers on a strip-mall back door take a beating, and a closer that slams or a bar that sticks gets written up on inspection. Keypads and card readers on back doors are the growing share of the work.
The burglary numbers
The Phoenix Police Department reported 4,525 burglaries in 2025, a rate of 268 per 100,000 residents compared with 195 for the country (FBI Crime Data Explorer). Those counts include homes and businesses together.

Paperwork that saves arguments later
For anything past a basic rekey, ask for a written quote that names the hardware brand and its ANSI grade, plus a key schedule listing which person holds which key. Electric strikes and access control can involve low-voltage wiring and sometimes a permit, so ask who handles the wiring before work starts. A job that reaches $1,000 in parts and labor generally needs an ROC-licensed contractor in Arizona.
Questions people in Phoenix ask
How often should a business rekey?
Each time a key holder leaves on bad terms, a key goes missing, or you move into a space someone else had. Restricted keys cut down how often that is needed.
