WHAT WE HANDLE

  • New Construction Buildouts

    Full door hardware on office buildouts and new commercial construction. We coordinate with your GC on rough-in dimensions, backset specs, and ANSI grade requirements for each door application.

  • Suite Upgrades and Turnover

    New tenant move-in, lease compliance hardware, or suite security upgrades integrated with the building master-key system. Prior tenant access terminated without disturbing the building grand master.

  • Code and ADA Compliance

    Panic hardware meeting NFPA 101 and IBC, ADA-compliant lever hardware at required mounting heights, and documentation for fire marshals and building inspectors. We install to the letter of the Texas code.

  • Property Manager Programs

    Multi-property accounts for Austin-area property managers and REITs. Consistent hardware specifications across all properties, NET-30 invoicing after credit approval, and priority scheduling for turnover work.

HOW COMMERCIAL LOCK INSTALLATION WORKS

  1. Call or Schedule a Site Walk

    Describe the project scope: number of doors, occupancy type, existing master-key system if any, and applicable code requirements. We schedule a site assessment before quoting on multi-door projects.

  2. On-Site Assessment and Code Review

    We assess door types, traffic patterns, egress requirements, ADA mounting heights, and fire-rating specifications. Each door application receives a hardware recommendation with ANSI grade, lock type, and cost.

  3. Written Quote and Hardware Specification

    You receive a written quote listing hardware brand, model, ANSI grade, and installed cost per door. For master-key projects, the key hierarchy is documented before any cylinders are ordered.

  4. Installation to Code

    Hardware installed per manufacturer specs and Texas building code. Door prep completed on site. Strike plates mounted with 3-inch screws into framing. Panic hardware tested to the 5-pound maximum operating force per code.

  5. Testing, Documentation, and Key Control

    Every lock tested from both sides. Master-key hierarchy documented and delivered. Compliance certificates, ANSI cut sheets, and UL fire ratings provided for building inspectors, insurance auditors, and your facility records.

WHY COMMERCIAL INSTALLATION REQUIRES A DIFFERENT APPROACH

A 10-Door Project Is Not 10 Residential Installations

Commercial door hardware operates under conditions residential locks are not rated for: high cycle counts from foot traffic, NFPA 101 egress requirements, ADA force limits, insurance policy hardware clauses, and lease-compliance provisions that specify lock brands and grades by name. An office buildout in the Domain or a tenant suite on Sixth Street has different code exposure than a Cedar Park home. Schlage Commercial ND-series and Sargent 8200 mortise locks are the two brands our commercial crews install most often on Austin-area office projects, because they are what Texas property managers and facility directors specify by name when they write hardware schedules.

We assess every door application individually: exterior entry gets ANSI Grade 1, fire egress door gets panic hardware with a matching UL rating, interior private offices get Grade 2 lever locksets, and server rooms get restricted-keyway high-security cylinders. On multi-tenant buildings where Falcon T-series or Best Access Systems cylindrical locks are already in the building, we pin new cylinders to match the existing master - no rekeying the whole building. The key hierarchy is designed before any hardware ships so the building grand master, floor sub-masters, and individual change keys form a coherent system from day one.

  • ANSI Grade 1 hardware standard on all exterior and high-traffic doors
  • Panic hardware UL-listed and tested to 5-pound maximum operating force
  • Master-key hierarchy documented before cylinders are ordered
  • ANSI cut sheets, UL ratings, and compliance certificates with every project

  • I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

  • It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

  • I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

  • Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What ANSI grade is required for commercial exterior doors in Texas?

Texas building code follows ANSI/BHMA A156.2. Exterior doors on commercial buildings serving more than 50 occupants require ANSI Grade 1, which withstands 10 strikes at 75 pounds and 1 million open-and-close cycles. Interior office doors typically qualify for Grade 2. We assess each door application and specify the correct grade before any hardware is ordered.


Can you install locks that integrate with our existing master-key system?

Yes. We pin new locks to fit your existing master-key hierarchy. We need your current master key and a change key from the system for reference, plus key system documentation showing the hierarchy levels if available. New locks enter the system without disturbing existing keys. For buildings without a master system, we design and implement one during the installation project.


Do you install panic hardware for fire code compliance?

Yes. Texas fire code based on NFPA 101 and the International Building Code requires panic hardware on egress doors serving 50 or more occupants, educational facilities, and hazardous areas. Panic hardware must operate with 5 pounds maximum force and carry a UL fire rating matching the door assembly. We install Von Duprin, Jackson, and Falcon devices and provide documentation for building inspectors and fire marshals.


How do you handle ADA-compliant door hardware on commercial doors?

ADA requires lever handles or push-type mechanisms on accessible routes. Knobs are not permitted on primary entries. Hardware must mount between 34 and 48 inches above the floor and operate with no more than 5 pounds of force. We install ADA-compliant lever locksets, comply with mounting height requirements, and document installations for ADA compliance audits.


How long does a multi-door commercial installation take?

A single commercial lock runs 45 to 60 minutes, including door prep when needed. Panic hardware takes 60 to 90 minutes due to the more complex mechanism. A full office buildout of 10 to 15 locks typically runs one to two days. Large projects of 50-plus locks are scheduled across multiple days or weeks to minimize business disruption. We provide a timeline before work begins and can schedule after-hours or weekend installation.


What does commercial lock installation cost per door?

ANSI Grade 1 lever locksets run $200 to $400 installed, depending on cylinder type and door prep required. Mortise locks run $280 to $500 installed. Electric strikes and electrified locksets run $350 to $700 depending on power supply and access control integration. Panic hardware runs $350 to $600 per door. Volume pricing applies on projects of 10 or more doors. Exact pricing is quoted in writing before any work begins.


Do you provide documentation for lease compliance and building inspectors?

Yes. Every commercial installation includes an itemized invoice with lock specifications, manufacturer cut sheets showing ANSI/BHMA ratings, UL fire ratings for panic hardware, installation compliance certificates, and testing verification. This documentation satisfies building inspectors, fire marshals, insurance auditors, property managers enforcing lease hardware clauses, and OSHA compliance reviews.


Do you serve commercial properties in Round Rock, Pflugerville, and other Austin-area suburbs?

Yes. From our Central Austin dispatch we serve commercial properties in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Kyle, and 36 Texas markets. We coordinate with property management companies, tenant improvement contractors, and facility directors across Central Texas. Call and we confirm scheduling availability for your location.
