Where Are You Located?
We get this question from our customers quite often. Where are we located? See, for a service company OF ANY KIND really, it does not matter where our office is because ASAP Lock and Security is a valley wide operation.

Our service call is the same no matter where you are located. So, call us and if you are in an emergency situation and located in Tempe…We might be working right around the corner from you. So call us and speak to a locksmith. We’ll be right there. Wherever your there may be.
WHO HAS YOUR KEY?
As soon as you buy a home, rent an apartment, or lease or buy commercial space, for safety, you or your landlord should re-key the premises. Re-keying means we can work with your exisiting locks. You do not have to buy new locks and it’s much more economical to rekey then buy new.
When you move in:
You don’t know the history of the previous tennants or landlords..and even if you did, who did they know? Who had the keys? Cleaning services? Pet Services? Ex-disgruntled Employees? WHO MADE A COPY?
Unfortunately, crime happens. CRIMINALS LOVE KEYS! Don’t make it easy for them. Call a professional, trusted locksmith company to help you re-key your locks so you don’t have any surprises. Be Safe.

GUIDELINES FOR KEY CONTROL
1. Use keys that TRULY cannot be duplicated. Keys marked DO NOT DUPLICATE are a deterrent, but not usually enough for peace of mind. Our High-security keys are highly specific. Restricted. Meaning they cannot be found anywhere commonplace (such as Ace Hardware, Home Depot etc), so employees cannot run all over town looking for a store to make a copy. Our keys are registered and keep you safe from having unwanted key duplication.
2. Require ex-employees to turn in all issued Hi-Security keys. If this does not happen, then it is time to re-key again. If they turn in their key, you are confident security has not been breached.
3. Consider installing access control locks that can be coded with a keypad or a key-card system in which entries and exits are audited, codes can be changed easily when a card is lost, etc. and you can do it yourself.
4. Do not have a master key for all doors. Individual offices and restricted work areas should always have separate keys. Master key systems are great for convenience, not great for security.
5. Have someone manage the key system for your business AND keep your spare keys in a locked cabinet.
6. Issue as few keys as possible. Issue them only for areas the employee is authorized to be in. Keep up-to-date records of keys issued to which employees. Ask your ASAP locksmith to engrave these for you.
