Property Situations
When Property Management Needs a Locksmith
Tenants, security, access control—property comes with lock issues. We understand the commercial reality and respond accordingly.
Tenant Changeover?
End of tenancy means lock change. It's not paranoia—it's basic security. You don't know who has copies of the old keys. New locks, new keys for you and the incoming tenant. Quick, clean, documented.
Tenant Locked Themselves Out?
They'll call you. You call us. Problem solved without the emergency call-out prices if it's during normal hours. We get them in, you get a proper invoice for recharge if needed.
Commercial Premises Break-In?
Board up, replace, secure. We work with your insurance requirements and provide full documentation. Get your property secured before business resumes— that's the priority.
Need a Master Key System?
One key for common areas, individual keys for tenants. Maintenance access without carrying dozens of keys. We design and implement systems that make sense for your specific property structure.
Restricted Key Control?
Stop unauthorized copies being made. With restricted key systems, tenants can't get copies cut at the local shop. Only you can order additional keys through us. True key control.
Multiple Properties?
Portfolio management is different from single property. We offer accounts, consistent pricing, priority response, and invoicing that makes your accounting simple. One relationship for all your properties.
Building Access Issues?
Front door, communal areas, individual units, bin stores, plant rooms. Complex buildings mean complex access requirements. We help you plan and implement proper access control.
Lease Compliance?
Some leases specify lock standards. Some insurers require certain ratings. We can advise on compliance requirements and provide documentation proving your locks meet the necessary standards.

Verified customer
"Master key system across four properties finally makes sense. I have one key that opens everything, tenants have keys that only open their units. Should have done this years ago. Trulox designed it properly."

Common Questions for Property Professionals
Answers about commercial and landlord services.
Can you invoice rather than requiring payment on the day?
Accounts
Yes. We offer invoice facilities for established clients. After a few jobs together, we can set up an account so you receive a monthly invoice rather than paying per visit. Makes your admin much simpler.
Do you offer account facilities for multiple jobs?
Trade
Absolutely. For letting agents and landlords with regular work, we offer trade accounts with agreed pricing and consolidated invoicing. One relationship, consistent service across all your properties.
How quickly can you do a tenant changeover?
Turnaround
Usually same day if you give us reasonable notice. Lock changes are quick—typically 15-20 minutes per door. For planned changeovers, we can often schedule back-to-back to minimize your between-tenancy time.
What's a master key system and do I need one?
Master Keys
A master key system lets you open multiple locks with one key while tenants have individual keys that only open their own. If you manage multiple properties or buildings with common areas, it simplifies key management significantly.
Can you stop tenants getting keys cut without permission?
Key Control
Yes. Restricted key systems use patented profiles that can't be copied at normal key cutting shops. Only you can order additional keys through us. It's the only way to truly control who has access.
Do you work weekends for commercial emergencies?
Availability
Yes, 8am to midnight, seven days a week. Commercial break-ins and urgent access issues don't wait for Monday. We respond to emergencies whenever they happen.
Can you provide documentation for insurance claims?
Insurance
Yes. We provide detailed invoices, work reports, and photographs documenting the work completed. Whatever your insurer needs to process a claim, we can provide.
What about access control or keyless entry?
Technology
We can advise on and install electronic access control systems for commercial properties. Fobs, codes, or cards—whatever suits your operation. We also maintain and repair existing systems.
How do I manage keys across multiple properties?
Portfolio
Master key hierarchies let you organize access logically. One master for all properties, sub-masters for building managers, individual keys for tenants. We design systems that match your management structure.
What if a tenant disputes paying for a lockout?
Disputes
We provide clear documentation of time, date, and work performed. Most lockout costs fall to the tenant who caused the situation, but that's between you and them. We just do the work and document it properly.
Our Commitment
Partnership, Not Just Service
We build relationships with property professionals based on reliability and trust.
Priority Response
Your properties are your livelihood. When you need us, we respond. Regular clients get priority because you're not just a one-off job—you're a relationship we value.
Proper Documentation
Full records of every job. Invoices that make sense. Documentation for insurance or compliance. We understand you need a paper trail—and we provide it without being asked.
Trade Pricing
Fair rates for regular work. Accounts for established clients. We're not trying to maximize each job—we're building a long-term relationship that works for both of us.
Ongoing Relationship
Same locksmith who knows your properties. Consistent service. Someone who answers when you call. Property management needs reliability—that's what we offer.
