Just Lost a Key Employee? Why You Should Rekey the Office Today.
A practical checklist for Montreal business owners: which locks to rekey, what it costs, and how to avoid leaving the office exposed.
Staff turnover is the single most common reason offices end up with security gaps. Even amicable departures often leave keys floating in glove boxes, drawers, and old gym bags.
What to rekey first Front door, server room, and any storage with cash, inventory, or sensitive client files. Skip internal doors that don't have a lock-and-key in active use.
Matched-key sets instead of one key per door Front door, back door, storage — keyed alike on the same cylinder platform so a manager carries one key instead of four. After turnover, we re-pin the affected doors in a single visit and cut the small number of keys you actually need. Cheaper and faster than rekeying every door as a separate job.
When to upgrade instead If the lock is older than ten years or has visible wear, replace rather than rekey. The cylinder pins wear out and even a perfect rekey on a tired lock won't last.
