Security is a critical issue for businesses in a variety of industries. From pharmaceutical drug rooms to money counting areas, and from offices to Secured Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), access control is a must.
Keys get misplaced, lost or stolen, employees are hired and
transferred, offices are renovated and repurposed. These changes require that
keys be re-keyed to prevent unauthorized access.
Lockouts
Lockout services
can be caused by a variety of factors. It is important to determine the root
cause of the lockout and take the necessary steps to prevent it from occurring
in the future. This includes using a door barricade device that is specifically
designed for emergency situations and that can be deployed quickly.
Another way to prevent lockouts is by implementing LOTO
procedures in the workplace. These safety measures reduce the risk of accidents
and injuries by locking out machinery or equipment and clearly tagging it to
indicate that energy sources are disconnected. LOTO procedures also require
training and regular inspections.
For example, employees can easily submit LOTO reports to
safety supervisors with a few taps and verify that equipment is de-energized by
testing its electrical components with a multimeter or connecting air tools to
a dump valve to bleed off any pressure. Having reliable spare keys on hand and
deploying modern security solutions like smart locks is also vital to prevent
lockouts.
Rekeying
While many homeowners believe that rekeying is just as
secure as changing locks, there are some cases when it may not be the best
option.
A professional locksmith can use a rekey kit to change the
internal arrangements of a lock so that it can only be opened with new keys.
This will help to ensure that no one else has access to your home.
However, this will not affect the security of the lock since
the security of a lock depends on how many pins are inside it. If you have a 5
pin lock, the locksmith would just swap out the old ones for new ones and
nothing else.
Rekeying is also a good idea if you are moving into a house
and want to ensure that the previous owners have not made copies of the key.
The locksmith can rekey all of the locks to match one key. This is more cost
effective than changing all the locks.
