Documented Chicago Storefront-Door Evaluation
The Omega Locksmith photo shown here documents our technician evaluating a commercial storefront opening in Chicago.
Commercial doors are systems: lock, cylinder, latch, hinges, closer, frame and exit hardware must work together. A lock problem may actually begin with a misaligned door, loose hinge, worn closer or damaged frame.
Our technicians evaluate the complete opening before recommending repair, rekeying or replacement. We serve offices, storefronts, restaurants, warehouses, apartment common areas and managed commercial properties.

Product selection depends on the door, frame, traffic level, existing preparation and project requirements. Brand names identify products Omega installs or services and do not imply authorized-dealer status except where expressly stated.
Mechanical Locks
Mortise, cylindrical, deadbolt, storefront and restricted-key options.
Door Control
Surface and concealed closers, hinges, pivots and alignment-related components.

Commercial Locksmith FAQs
Should I rekey or replace my commercial locks?
Rekeying changes the operating keys while keeping compatible existing hardware. Replacement may be appropriate when hardware is worn, damaged, unsuitable or part of a planned security upgrade.
Can you create a master key system for an existing building?
Often, yes, if the existing cylinders are compatible and in serviceable condition. We review the doors, current keying and access hierarchy before recommending a system.
Do you repair storefront door locks?
Yes, we service many storefront locks and related door components. Alignment, pivots, closers and strikes may also need attention when a storefront door will not lock correctly.
Can you service panic bars and exit devices?
We service many commercial exit-device problems. The exact repair depends on the device type, door preparation, trim and condition of the opening.
Do you install electronic access control?
We install and service supported access-control and electronic locking components. A site review helps determine the appropriate reader, credential, lock and power requirements.
What should I do when an employee key is not returned?
Identify every door the key operates and contact an authorized locksmith. Rekeying affected cylinders can remove the missing key from service without necessarily replacing all hardware.
