Which fix fits your business: rekey, new hardware, or a keyed system?
Peach Locksmith LLC rekeys, replaces, or keys business locks to a system across Marietta, GA.
Not every door needs the same fix. A rekey changes the key, not the door. If the hardware is sound, new pins in the cylinder are enough. If a lock is worn or a door won't catch, the answer is alignment or new hardware. If different staff need different access, a keyed system sorts it out.
- RekeyA key left with someone and the hardware still works. New pins go in the cylinder, old keys stop working, the hardware stays.
- New hardwareA worn lock, a door that won't latch, or a lock too light for the traffic. The old lock comes off and new hardware goes on, often ANSI/BHMA Grade 1.
- Keyed systemDifferent staff need access to different doors. Each key opens only its assigned doors.
A call we often get after an employee moves on
It usually starts with one line: "Someone left, and they still have a key."
The owner wants to rekey the office locks after an employee leaves. Our first question is how many doors that key opens. The count is often higher than expected: front door, back door, supply closet, maybe the suite mailbox lock too.
We count every one. Any door left on the old pins still opens with the old key. A key stamped "Do Not Duplicate" is worth a closer look, because that stamp is a request, not a barrier. Real key control comes from restricted key blanks that are copied only through an approved source.
Then we check the doors themselves. On a typical call, one door has a second issue: it drags on the frame or needs a shove to latch. A rekey won't change that. The cylinder gets new pins, but the bolt still misses the strike.
So the plan often splits in two. Rekey the doors that work well, and adjust or replace the hardware on the one that doesn't. If staff need different access levels, we talk through a keyed system instead.
The result is one plan and one new key set, with every door accounted for.
- Doors on the old key
- Front, back, supply closet plus the suite mailbox lock in some cases
- Doors working well
- Rekeyed with new pins, hardware stays
- Door that drags or won't latch
- Alignment adjusted or hardware replaced
- Result
- One plan, one new key set every door accounted for
New keys tested in every lock and handed over, counted.
Key control means the rules and key types that limit who can copy a key. A rekey stops old keys working; key control helps keep the new ones from multiplying.
Serving offices and storefronts along I-75 and Cobb Parkway
From Austell Rd SW, we reach businesses along I-75 and Cobb Parkway.
No third-party dispatch. Crews leave from Marietta and reach metro homes within the scheduled window.
Cobb Parkway (US-41) is lined with strip centers, and many use aluminum-and-glass doors with a storefront mortise lock, a lock set inside the narrow edge of the door. Its cylinder can often be rekeyed while the lock body stays put, so storefront lock replacement isn't always needed.
Long, humid Marietta summers can swell wood doors and frames. That can throw off latch and strike alignment, meaning how the bolt meets the metal plate on the frame. A door that needed a shove in August is a hardware or alignment problem, not a key problem.
Office suites along I-75 change hands when leases end. Starting a new lease? A commercial lock change at the handoff means the last tenant's keys stop working.

How we match commercial hardware to each door
Each door gets hardware matched to its traffic, frame, and access needs.
- Grade matched to trafficANSI/BHMA Grade 1 is the top strength rating for door hardware, built for doors that open many times a day, like a main entry
- Alignment firstthe bolt should meet the strike cleanly before new hardware goes on
- Right fit for the doorstorefront mortise locks, lever sets, and deadbolts each need a specific cutout, and we match the existing cutout whenever the door allows it
- Key control where it countsdoors guarding stock, cash, or records can move to restricted keys
- Rekey when the hardware is sounda solid Grade 1 lock with a key problem needs new pins, not a new lock
- Every key tried in every lockeach new key is tested in the locks it should open and the ones it shouldn't
- Keys handed over countedyou know exactly how many keys exist when the job is done
Walk through the job step by step
Every commercial job follows three steps: check the doors, do the work, then test.
Walk each door and map the keys
We walk each door with you and note the lock type, its grade, and how it latches. Then we map which keys open which doors. That map shows whether a rekey, new hardware, or a keyed system fits. At a lease turnover, we also ask what the last tenant may have left behind: spare keys, unmarked cylinders, and old keypad codes.
Re-pin the cylinders or fit new hardware
To rekey after an employee leaves, we pull each lock cylinder and set new pins while the hardware stays on the door. For new hardware, the old lock comes off and the new one is fitted to the door's existing cutout. Exit hardware and office safes are separate jobs, handled through panic bar installation and safe opening and service.
Try every key in every lock
Each new key gets tried in every lock it should open, and in the locks it shouldn't. We open and close each door several times from both sides. The bolt has to catch the strike without a push. Then the new keys go to you, counted.

Commercial lock questions from Marietta business owners
Does rekeying mean replacing my business locks?
No. A rekey sets new pins inside the lock cylinder, the part your key slides into. Old keys stop working and the hardware stays on the door. Replacement only makes sense when the lock is worn, too light for the traffic, or the door won't latch.
Does a "Do Not Duplicate" stamp stop someone from copying our keys?
No. The stamp is a request, not a barrier, and it doesn't stop a copy from being cut. Real key control uses restricted key blanks that are copied only through an approved source.
One of our doors drags and needs a shove to latch. Will a rekey fix it?
No. A rekey changes the key, not the door. If a door drags or won't catch, the fix is latch and strike alignment or new hardware. We often rekey the doors that work well and adjust or replace the one that doesn't.
Can the lock on our aluminum storefront door be rekeyed instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Many storefront doors use a mortise lock set inside the narrow edge of the door, and its cylinder can usually be rekeyed while the lock body stays put.
