Commercial Lockout Service Henderson Strip Mall, NV
What Happened
The Problem
A Henderson strip mall tenant — a small retail business — was locked out when a former employee still had keys. The owner couldn't open in the morning and needed immediate access plus the security of rekeying so the ex-employee couldn't re-enter.
What We Did
We arrived at the Henderson strip mall in 20 minutes. The unit had a Schlage commercial deadbolt on the front door and a mortise lock on the back. We picked the front deadbolt non-destructively and used a bypass on the back mortise. Business was open in 12 minutes. We then rekeyed both locks and cut 3 new keys — all on-site, all within the same 45-minute visit. The ex-employee's key now works on neither lock.
Business opened on time. Both locks rekeyed to new keys. Former employee's access revoked same morning.

How We Did It — Step by Step
Commercial Lock Assessment
Assessed Schlage deadbolt (Grade 1 commercial) on front and mortise lock on back door. Confirmed pick approach is appropriate for both lock types — no need to drill.
Front Deadbolt Entry + Back Mortise Bypass
Picked the Schlage commercial deadbolt in 6 minutes. Back mortise bypassed with a commercial mortise pick tool. Both doors open — business fully accessible.
Master Rekey + New Keys
Rekeyed both locks to a new key code. Cut 3 copies of the new key for the owner. Verified new keys work in both locks before departing. Ex-employee's keys are now invalid.
