Commercial locks & access control
Fire exit hardware has to keep escape routes usable, so changes are planned around how the door is used.

What this covers
Commercial locks, panic and push bars, door closers and access control for shops, offices and communal entrances.
Before the locksmith arrives
- Wait somewhere safe and well lit, especially at night.
- Have ID and proof of address (or the V5C logbook for a car) ready.
- Do not force the door or window — frame and glass damage usually costs more than the lock.
