Whatever industry your business is in, and however many employees you have, keeping both it and them, safe and protected at all times, is paramount. While there are various IT safety measures businesses can take to protect themselves from the risk of cybercrime, measures to protect the safety of the building, and the items and people in it, require a more physical approach.
One of the best ways of ensuring that your business is as well protected as it can possibly be, is to engage with a commercial locksmith, who can better advise you as to what additional measures you can take to keep your business safe.
Below are just 4 of the ways that a commercial locksmith can help keep you, your employees and your business, safe:
- Advise you of any additional safety measures and devices
Having a commercial locksmith attend your place of business and conduct a thorough security assessment, will help you identify any areas that might be particularly vulnerable to intruders. Should any areas be identified, the commercial locksmith can go on to supply and install additional safety devices to keep them more secure, and they will also assess all other security measures that you might already be taking, to review their effectiveness.
- Be at your disposal, around the clock
If you have a security emergency of any kind, and at any time of the day or night, most commercial locksmiths operate on a 24 hr, 365 day a year basis, and if they can’t personally attend your place of business to assist, they’ll send a colleague who will be equally qualified to assist you.
- Help you set up controlled access systems
One of the most effective ways to keep your business and its employees safe, is to restrict access to certain areas of the building, and make sure that this is maintained and upheld at all times. Whether it’s by having your commercial locksmith set you up with a controlled access system requiring passes or key cards, or by employing security guards to monitor access, controlling who goes where is always going to be safer for you and your business.
Your local commercial locksmith can also provide you with master keys that give you access to all locks while maintaining the security of certain rooms or spaces.
- Repair and replace locks
If a lock gets broken at your place of business, whether from a forced entry or some other kind of damage, you need to get it repaired, fast, and having your local commercial locksmith on speed dial, can prove very useful. Often able to get to you at a moment’s notice, they can repair or replace the lock within a matter of minutes, and make the building secure as soon as possible.
So, if you own a business and you haven’t yet connected with your local, commercial locksmith, now is as good a time as any to help make your premises secure, and protect everybody inside the building, all of the time.
