Commercial Lock Installation in Mountain View, CA.

Commercial Lock Installation in Mountain View: here is what the job involves and how to book it.

Commercial doors see far more cycles than a front door at home, so the hardware has to be rated for it. We install ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and Grade 2 cylindrical levers, deadbolts and matching strikes on wood, hollow metal and aluminum doors, specifying the right lock function for each room and ADA-compliant lever trim where code calls for it. New installs are keyed into your existing system or set up on a fresh keyway, your choice.

The technician comes to your address in Mountain View, in Silicon Valley. The dispatch line at (888) 492-0666 is answered around the clock, and the dispatcher confirms the details and an ETA before anyone is sent.

• Site check of each door: material, thickness, existing prep, backset, handing and how much traffic it takes
• Lock function chosen per opening: entry/office, classroom, storeroom, privacy or passage, so the door behaves the way your staff expect
• Grade 1 or Grade 2 lever lockset installed with a matching ANSI strike and reinforced strike box where the frame allows
• Fresh door prep (161 cutout) on unprepped wood or hollow metal doors, or field fitting to an existing prep
• Cylinders keyed to your current master system, a new keyway, or a restricted keyway if you want key control
• Lever trim that meets accessibility requirements: operable without grasping, pinching or twisting
• A hardware schedule listing model, function, finish and keying for each door, for your facilities file

• Authorization from the business owner or property manager; in a leased space, check whether your lease requires landlord sign-off on hardware changes
• A door count with the function you want on each (which doors should always lock behind you, which should be free during business hours)
• Photos of the door edge, the existing lock and the frame strike so we can confirm the prep before we arrive
• Your existing key if we are keying into a current system, and a sample of any restricted key you already use
• Finish preference (satin chrome, satin stainless, oil-rubbed bronze, matte black) so hardware matches the rest of the space

Typically 45-90 minutes per door when the door already has a standard commercial prep and the new lock drops in. Cutting a fresh prep in a wood or hollow metal door, reworking a frame strike, or adding a deadbolt above a lever extends it, and multi-door jobs are scheduled as a block.

• Fire-rated doors: hardware must carry a listing matching the door, the latch must be self-latching, and field modification is tightly restricted. We will not cut a non-listed deadbolt or new prep into a rated door
• Doors on a required exit path cannot be fitted with hardware that needs a key, tool, or special knowledge to exit. If you want a locked exterior door that still exits freely, that usually means a storeroom-function lever or an exit device, not a double-cylinder deadbolt
• Lever height, clearance and opening force on accessible routes follow state and federal accessibility rules; we install to those, but we are not the authority who signs off a building for occupancy
• Aluminum storefront and all-glass doors use narrow-stile hardware, which is a different product family covered under our storefront lock service
• Keying into an existing master system requires the system records or a sample key; without them we can match the keyway but not the master bitting

Hardware grade and brand, the lock function, whether the door needs a fresh prep or a strike rebuild, finish, and how many doors we are doing in one visit drive the price. Keying into a master system or onto a restricted keyway is quoted as its own line.
