Multi-Door Projects, Code Compliance, Master-Key Integration. Done Right.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
