New Trilogy keypad lock installed on a business in Cleveland OH
New Trilogy keypad lock installed on a business in Cleveland OH
Last week we completed a commercial door security upgrade in Cleveland Ohio. The job was for a local business not far from downtown Cleveland and the busy area around Jack Casino. We service the entire Cuyahoga and Summit counties with mobile locksmith service, and our shop is located at 3439 W Brainard Rd #105, Woodmere, OH 44122. We are bonded and insured and also proud members of the Cuyahoga East Chamber of Commerce.
When we arrived at the location, the door had a basic setup. From the inside there was only a simple twist turn lock and on the outside a standard key mortise cylinder. The business owner told us the door was not locking automatically and it created a safety issue for the stuff.
Our solution was to fresh install a push paddle device with a dead latch mechanism. This type of hardware is common on commercial aluminum storefront doors. The dead latch helps the door lock every time it closes. It gives better security compared to a basic latch. Brands like Adams Rite and Alarm Lock are very common for this type of door hardware, which is what we used as you can see in the attached photos.
On the outside of the door we installed a Trilogy keypad lock. This allows staff to enter using a code instead of a key. Keypad locks are popular for small businesses because owners can change the code anytime. No need to chase keys when employees leave.
One small tip for business owners: If your door only has a latch and no dead latch, the door may not fully secure when it closes. A push paddle with a dead latch setup helps the door lock every single time. Also check your door closer so the door shuts tight.
This Cleveland job came out great and the door now locks automatically every time. Another happy local customer. If your business door hardware is old, loose, or not locking right, it might be time for an upgrade.
