Commercial Locksmith
Commercial Locksmith Services for Longwood and Seminole County Businesses
A commercial locksmith does far more than cut keys. The work covers every piece of hardware that lets the right people into your building and gets everyone out safely, from the storefront door lock to the panic bar on the back exit. Lion Locksmith & Security is a mobile, family-owned business led by a second-generation locksmith, and commercial doors and hardware are our specialty. We bring commercial locksmith services to offices, retail stores, warehouses, and multi-tenant properties across Longwood and Seminole County, and we quote the job before any work begins.

Exit Hardware That Works When People Need to Leave
Panic bars and exit devices have one job, which is to let people out fast while the door stays locked from the outside. Fire and building codes say which doors need this hardware and how it must operate. We install and service panic bars, replace worn exit devices, and add battery-powered exit alarms on doors that should stay closed during business hours. Your local fire official makes the final call on what a building needs.
Master Keys and High-Security Locks for Tighter Key Control
Most security problems in a business start with keys, not locks. A master key system lets one key open every door for an owner or manager while each employee's key opens only the doors that person needs. High-security locks add another layer because they resist picking and drilling, and many use restricted keys that a hardware store cannot copy. We install high-security locks on doors that need them, and we rekey your existing locks whenever a key goes missing.
Keypad and Electronic Locks Without the Wiring
Many businesses want keyless entry on an office or stockroom door without paying for a full access control system. Standalone electronic locks solve that problem because they run on batteries and need no wiring. We install keypad locks, card and fob locks, and fingerprint locks that store their own codes and users right at the door. We do not install wired or networked access systems, magnetic locks, or electric strikes. That work belongs to licensed low-voltage contractors, and we will tell you if your building needs one.
Keeping Your Doors Open When a Lock Fails
A lock problem at the wrong moment can stop a business cold. Staff cannot get in, you cannot serve customers, and the building may sit unsecured overnight. We take business lockout calls 24/7, though as an owner-operated company we cannot accept every after-hours request. A skilled locksmith can usually open a standard lock without damaging it. When hardware has failed outright, we can replace it so the door locks properly again.
Planned work matters as much as urgent work. Rekeying after a manager leaves, replacing a tired lever lock, and tuning a door that drags are small jobs that prevent bigger ones. Commercial customers can ask us about invoicing and payment terms.
Why Local Businesses Trust a Second-Generation Locksmith
Our owner learned the trade from family and does the work himself, so the person who quotes your job is the person who shows up. The company is bonded, insured, and background-checked, and we arrive in a marked vehicle and in uniform. Our standard warranty is one year on parts and labor. We also offer service in English and Spanish.
Pricing is upfront and flat, and estimates are free. When you contact us, share the type of door or lock, how many doors need work, and what problem you want solved. Photos of the door and hardware help us bring the right parts on the first trip.

Commercial Locksmith FAQs
How much does a commercial locksmith charge?
The price depends on the hardware, the number of doors, and how much labor the job takes. We give you an upfront flat quote before we start, and estimates are free. Call us for a quote and we will explain exactly what it covers.
Do panic bars have to meet fire code?
Yes. Exit hardware on many commercial doors must meet life-safety rules, and the National Fire Protection Association publishes the Life Safety Code that Florida's fire code draws on. Panic hardware should be a model made and rated for exit doors. Your local fire official decides what your specific building requires.
Do you install networked access control systems?
No. We install standalone electronic locks, which are battery-operated and programmed at the door. Card systems that tie into a network, magnetic locks, and electric strikes are low-voltage work that we do not perform. If your building needs that kind of system, we will tell you so before you spend money on the wrong solution.
Are mobile locksmiths more expensive than a shop?
Not necessarily. Commercial work has to happen at the door, so any locksmith you hire will travel to your building. What matters more is a clear quote before work begins, which we always provide.
How do I know if a locksmith is reputable?
Look for a real local business with a name you can verify, proof of insurance, and a clear quote before work begins. Florida has no statewide locksmith license, so bonding, insurance, and background checks matter more here. A legitimate locksmith also arrives in a marked vehicle and can show identification.
Do you serve businesses in Casselberry and Altamonte Springs?
Yes. Both cities are a short drive from our Longwood base. We also cover the rest of Seminole County and take commercial jobs in the greater Orlando area north of the city. Tell us your address and we will confirm coverage.
What should I have ready when I contact you?
Have the door type, the lock or hardware brand if you know it, and the number of doors involved. For a business lockout, we need a photo ID and proof that you are authorized to enter the property. Those details let us quote accurately and arrive prepared.
Should a business rekey when an employee leaves?
Yes, if that person held a key and you cannot be sure every copy came back. Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock so the old key stops working, and it costs less than new hardware. Businesses with regular turnover often move to restricted keys or keypad locks to make the process simpler.
