Many businesses see an influx of consumers during the holiday season, with additional employees hired to provide better customer service. Although the extra help keeps operations on track, some seasonal staffers might misplace or forget to return keys after they leave the job. Rekeying the locks after the holidays ensures no unauthorized individuals have access to your business and provides additional benefits, outlined below. 

Why Rekeying Locks After the Holidays Is a Smart Idea

Improves Building Security

When rekeying the entrances of your business, a locksmith will remove the existing pins so old keys won’t open doors. During the appointment, the technician will also examine the quality of the lock. From replacing rusty bolts to removing dirt and grime buildup, the specialist will provide the necessary solutions to make locks as durable as possible. This way, you can take comfort in knowing it will be difficult, or impossible, for burglars to break into your business. 

Increases the Efficiency of Operations

When rekeying doors, a technician can also make a master set of keys. This means the same keys will unlock all doors in your establishment. Permanent employees will no longer have to take time searching for the right keys to access back offices, storage rooms, and additional parts of the business. This way, they will have more time to concentrate on their duties and catering to customers’ needs. 

Saves the Company Money in the Long-Run

Rekeying locks after seasonal staff leaves is the most cost-effective approach to keeping your assets protected. Unlike a new lock installation, you won’t have to pay for further equipment, which will keep money in the company coffers. The money saved could be put towards additional upgrades to improve operations and bring more customers through the door.
