We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), cash, and checks. Payment is collected after the work is completed and you've confirmed everything is working properly. Our team is deeply familiar with the Delaware City community's needs.
What is panic bar or crash bar hardware?
Panic hardware is the push-bar exit device required by fire code on many commercial doors. It allows immediate emergency exit while remaining secure from the outside. We install, repair, and maintain all types of panic hardware. We've partnered with businesses throughout Delaware City on their security needs.
Can you open my commercial safe if I forgot the combination?
Yes, we are highly trained safe technicians. We can open most commercial safes without damage using manipulation techniques or specialized tools. We can also change the combination after and provide documentation for your records. We provide tailored commercial security solutions for Delaware City businesses.
Should my safe be bolted to the floor?
Absolutely, for any safe under 750 lbs. Thieves often steal smaller safes to crack later at their leisure. Bolting eliminates this risk. We include professional anchoring in our safe installation service. We serve commercial properties throughout the Delaware City business district.
What's the difference between key cards and fob access?
Both use RFID technology.. Key cards are credit-card sized and often more practical.. Fobs are keychain-sized and more convenient.. Both can be instantly deactivated when an employee leaves.. We install and program both types.
Are your commercial lock installations ADA compliant?
Yes.. All our commercial hardware installations comply with ADA requirements including lever-style handles (no round knobs), proper mounting heights, and maximum operating force limits.. We also ensure fire code compliance for exit devices.

Our Delaware City, DE team brings this expertise directly to your location.
Why Standard Locks Fail
YouTube has thousands of videos showing how to pick standard deadbolts in seconds. Bump keys open most residential locks without leaving a trace. A cheap cordless drill with a cheap bit goes through standard cylinders almost instantly. High-security locks are specifically engineered to defeat these common attack methods. If you're protecting something valuable, standard locks are theater—not security.
Key Control Is the Overlooked Essential
Maybe your locks are fine, but who has copies of your keys? Previous employees, old roommates, contractors, the dog walker from three years ago? With standard locks, anyone with a key can make unlimited copies at any hardware store. High-security restricted keyways require your authorization card for every duplicate. You finally know exactly who has access.
