Commercial Locksmith in Denver, CO

Denver's commercial streets and their doors

Capitol Hill's commercial uses sit mostly on arterials such as Colfax Avenue, East 13th and 14th avenues, Lincoln Street and Broadway, in a neighborhood whose average building dates to 1920. Baker's Broadway frontage is mostly retail and office space. In Central Park, built since 2001, the shopping districts include The Shops at Northfield. The age of a door and its hardware can therefore differ by decades from one district to the next, and a mixed-use building puts residential and business entrances under one roof.

Keys, staff and tenant turnover

Every key is a record of who could get in. When an employee leaves or a tenant moves out, the question is which keys did not come back.

• rekey or recode the doors those keys opened, rather than trusting that no copies were made
• keep a written list of who holds which key
• give each role only the doors it needs, for example the front door but not the stockroom or office
• in a multi-tenant building, find out whether the property manager controls the building entry and shared doors before anyone works on a suite door

Electronic access credentials can be cancelled for one person without touching anyone else's key, which suits a business with frequent staff changes.

What to include in a request

• the district and the nearest cross streets
• the kind of space: storefront, office suite, alley-side back door or mixed-use building
• how many doors, and whether they are glass, aluminum, steel or wood
• what prompted the request: a staff or tenant change, lost keys, a new lease or failing hardware
• who authorizes the work: owner, tenant or property manager
