More and more business owners are moving their operations into shared office spaces. Tenants pay monthly fees, which is a lot less costly than committing to leases. As the building owner oversees daily maintenance and upkeep, your business’s personnel can concentrate on work. Sharing a space with strangers does pose security concerns. So you aren’t caught off guard, below are problems to keep on your radar and solutions a commercial locksmith can provide.    

Security Issues to Watch for in Shared Offices

Failing to disclose security needs with building management upfront is one mistake business owners in shared spaces often make. Some companies deal with sensitive materials, which means they could need several areas restricted by electronic locks and access controls. This could be difficult when other businesses let employees and visitors navigate the space freely. There might also be concerns over the building’s safety protocol procedures.

Steps to Take to Heighten Security

Before moving into a shared space, look at the floor plans carefully. Ideally, you should choose a company that has breakout rooms and other enclosed areas you can rent. From there, see what security equipment you can install.

A commercial locksmith can install electronic keypads and card readers on doors so other tenants can’t gain access. Access controls can also be placed on elevators to make sure your floor is skipped unless an individual has clearance. A commercial locksmith can also place video surveillance equipment in the common areas. If you ever suspect a security breach, you can go back and look at the footage for answers.
