What decades of locksmithing have taught us about commercial security

Even the best hardware fails if it’s used, installed, or maintained the wrong way. After 35 years on the tools, here are a few lessons every business owner should know.

The weakest lock is usually attached to the busiest door

The main entry cops the most punishment. Keys twist, bolts slam, and doors get dragged open against their hinges. That’s where wear starts first. We often swap those locks for commercial-grade cylinders that handle the traffic without giving up early.

How weather and salt air quietly ruin hardware

Hobart’s sea breeze carries salt that creeps into locks, door closers, and panic bars. It doesn’t show up right away, but after a few winters you’ll feel it grind. Stainless or coated components last years longer and save the callout fees later.

Why rekeying beats replacing after staff changes

When staff move on, changing every lock is overkill. We rekey the existing system so old keys no longer work while keeping your master setup intact. It’s faster, cheaper, and smarter for ongoing site security.

The hidden cost of mixed-brand hardware

We see it all the time. A cheaper closer fitted to a door with the wrong strike plate, or a mismatched latch that never sits right. Mixing brands might work short-term, but it strains hinges and shortens hardware life. Stick with consistent, proven systems.

Why a smooth close matters more than you think

If a door doesn’t shut properly, it’s not just annoying. It can breach fire safety and let conditioned air leak out all day. A clean, balanced close protects your compliance, energy bills, and peace of mind.

Planning access for growth, not just today

Your business will change. Tenants move, teams expand, and systems evolve. Installing a restricted key system or modular digital access setup now saves a heap of time and money later when things scale up.

Why Hobart businesses trust us with their locks

Running a business means you can’t afford downtime or dodgy security. We’ve spent decades helping local owners keep doors working, stock safe and staff secure. Here’s why they keep us on speed dial.

Frequently asked questions about commercial lock installation and replacement

Our locksmiths have answered the most common questions we get from Hobart businesses about door lock installation and replacement. These are straight from the people who do the work, not a call centre.

What’s the biggest mistake Hobart businesses make when choosing commercial locks for high-traffic doors?

One of the most common mistakes we see from commercial clients around Hobart is choosing hardware that doesn’t match their security requirements or traffic levels. Locks that look strong on paper often wear out fast when hundreds of people use them every day, especially in exposed business premises.

Our advice is simple. Always choose quality and proven workmanship over quick fixes. A poorly fitted lock, even a “high security” one, won’t perform properly if it’s the wrong design or grade. As part of our wide range of commercial locksmith services, we match hardware to your door, materials and foot traffic so it lasts.

If you’re worried about downtime or emergency locksmith callouts, regular maintenance goes a long way. Our exceptional customer service means we check every door and recommend options that keep your property secure and your locksmith needs covered for years to come.

Are there specific lock materials or finishes that stand up better to Hobart’s sea air and temperature swings?

Yes, there are. Hobart’s coastal weather and salt exposure can eat away at standard locks faster than most people expect. We recommend investing in high-quality marine-grade or coated hardware specifically designed for coastal environments.

After decades in Hobart locksmithing, we’ve seen cheaper finishes pit, corrode and seize. Using proven security products built for Tasmanian weather keeps things running smoothly with minimal disruption to your day. These locks also pair well with modern security technology, giving you better long-term protection.

Our professional locksmiths only install brands that have proven themselves against Hobart’s tough conditions. By choosing stainless or brass internals and weather-sealed security locks, you’ll save yourself the cost of premature replacements across Hobart and surrounding areas.

How can I tell if the locks in my Hobart office were installed to meet fire and safety compliance?

A compliant lock system should include exit devices that open freely from the inside and meet local building codes. If your doors stick, latch tightly or need two hands to open, they may not meet the right standards for enhanced security or emergency access.

Our experienced locksmith team often finds non-compliant or outdated hardware in older commercial premises across Hobart. These setups can compromise both safety and insurance coverage. We can assess your security systems and recommend practical security solutions that meet code without slowing down your site.

When you work with Tas Mobile Locksmith, you get specialised advice backed by decades of hands-on experience. We’ll inspect your doors, test the safety systems that safeguard your staff and make sure every component meets compliance standards.

We manage several Hobart sites that need a master key system to keep access simple but secure. How do you design that?

We build restricted master key systems tailored for businesses with multiple locations across Hobart. These setups let you control access with precision while still keeping things convenient for staff who move between sites.

Our team can manage access levels for each client in the commercial sector, from supervisors to cleaners, all under one high security plan. Each key is stamped and tracked to prevent unauthorised copies. We also offer simple expansion options for growing businesses.

We build for long-term reliability, with keys that turn cleanly and consistently. We also handle access management so each department’s access stays consistent and traceable. For the commercial sector, we map roles and routes, then choose hardware proven to provide reliable control as sites grow. Our professional services are tailored to each location’s needs.

Can you retrofit modern restricted key systems into older Hobart commercial buildings with worn hardware?

Absolutely. Many of Hobart’s older buildings have solid doors but outdated locks. We can customise restricted key systems to fit existing doors, saving you the cost of full replacements while upgrading to modern security standards.

Our experienced team knows how to adapt older hardware to new systems like keyless entry and digital locks, ensuring compliance without altering the building’s structure. We regularly install keypad locks and other retrofits for heritage offices and retail sites across the city.

Our comprehensive range covers keyless entry, digital locks and keypad locks to suit different security levels in older premises. We also sort duplication risks and integrate new tech with existing fittings so upgrades feel seamless.

Do you recommend replacing door closers or hinges when upgrading commercial locks in Hobart’s windy areas?

In many cases, yes. We often find that locks fail early because the supporting hardware isn’t up to the task. Replacing worn hinges and closers helps your new lock perform properly on exterior doors that cop the wind and on workshop cabinet locks that get heavy daily use.

Our locksmith team checks every detail to ensure balanced door pressure and secure closure. During installations, we test alignment and adjust tension for the security of your business. That level of care keeps strain off the lock and your repair bills low.

Our key services are designed to assess your security needs and provide practical advice. We’re committed to delivering results that last, from precision key cutting to complete hardware upgrades, so your system stays smooth and reliable long after installation.

How do you balance security and accessibility for Hobart businesses that need after-hours staff access?

We often install access control systems for local companies that need flexible after-hours access. These systems use electronic credentials or keyless entry so staff can enter safely without compromising your place of business.

We assess your after-hours security needs and business security needs, then recommend setups that balance accessibility and safety. With the right permissions, you can control who enters and when, reducing unauthorised access while keeping work moving smoothly.

If your roster is messy or seasonal, contact us today and we’ll map a configuration that suits the way your team actually works and keeps compliance tight.

What maintenance schedule do you suggest for commercial locks in Hobart to avoid sudden failures or key wear?

For most businesses, an annual inspection is enough, but high-traffic sites benefit from biannual servicing. Book our locksmiths today to discuss a schedule that fits your site. Regular checkups can spot small issues before they turn into major lock failures.

We specialise in preventative care that extends performance and safeguards your system’s life span. This includes lubrication, alignment and comprehensive security reviews that make sure every lock still works as intended. Our plan menu offers a wide range of options, from quick checks to full service plans, to suit every budget.

If you’d like help planning a maintenance routine, schedule a consultation with our team. We’ll record every adjustment, keep compliance tidy and make sure the whole system runs smoothly.
