A commercial locksmith keeps your doors secure, working, and up to code. King Locksmith repairs and replaces locks, rekeys cylinders after staff turnover, and designs master key systems that control who opens which door. We install and service exit devices, door closers, electric strikes, and keyless access hardware. We work to ADA and NFPA 101 life safety rules, so people can exit fast in an emergency. From one storefront in Silver Spring to a government campus in DC, we match the right hardware to each opening.
Every building has different needs. A hospital must lock medication rooms while keeping exits clear. A hotel needs fast rekeys and durable hardware that handles heavy daily traffic. A government office may need high-security cylinders with patented key control. We study how people move through your space, then plan locks and hardware that fit. You get one trusted partner for security, code compliance, and service across Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia.

Rekey when your locks still work well but keys are lost or staff have left. Rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder, so old keys stop working. It costs less than new hardware. Replace locks when they are worn, damaged, not ADA compliant, or too weak for your security needs.
Yes. In Maryland, locksmith businesses must hold a state license, and every employee who does locksmith work must be registered with the state’s Locksmith Licensing Program. Virginia licenses locksmiths through the Department of Criminal Justice Services, which requires training and a background check. Always ask to see credentials before work begins.
Yes. ADA rules call for door hardware that works with one hand and no tight grip or twist, which is why lever handles and push bars are common. Life safety codes like NFPA 101 require egress doors to open from the inside without a key or special knowledge. We check each opening and upgrade hardware that falls short.
