I own a four-unit building near Newland and Warner. Re-keying every time a tenant moved out was eating up time and money. Golden Locks, Inc. set up a full master key system: I have one key for all units, tenants have their own, and the maintenance guy has a sub-master for common areas. Now tenant turnover takes five minutes instead of a full re-key. Wish I’d done this years ago.

Teresa C. · Rental Property Owner, Huntington Beach

Our office had generic locks anyone could copy at a hardware store a real liability with contractors coming in and out. Golden Locks, Inc. replaced everything with a restricted keyway system that can’t be copied without authorization. The master key hierarchy matches our org chart perfectly. They even noticed two door frames weren’t seating the deadbolts properly and fixed them on the same visit.

Kevin A. · Office Manager, Gothard St., Huntington Beach

I run a small retail shop and had three part-time employees each with their own key it was chaos whenever staff changed. Golden Locks, Inc. designed a tiered master key system: I hold the master, my manager has a sub-master for the back office, and the floor staff only access the front. One visit, clean install, no headaches. Haven’t had a key problem since.
