Lockwork & Routine Maintenance
Just as with any mechanical equipment, keeping your safe deposit boxes and vault on a scheduled maintenance plan insures that it continues to function efficiently and reduces future repair. It also portrays to your customer that you care about their valuables and most important possessions.
We will be happy to provide you with an estimate for our lockwork services, BUT first we must visit your vault and determine the various types of safe deposit locks and equipment in your vault. Our survey only takes a few minutes but will provide us with the information needed.
Lock Rotations
Lock rotation is a court tested method of reducing the possibility of unauthorized access. All locks to previously rented Safe Deposit boxes are physically removed and exchanged with a lock on another box. Imagine how you, as a customer, would feel if you had just rented a Safe Deposit box and found that the previous renter also possessed a key that would un-lock your box. This rotation method ensures that if a key to a previously rented box has been duplicated, it will no longer continue to operate in the lock on the original box.
Emergency Service
Has your customer lost their key(s)? Do you have a court order for a box to be opened? If so, you want someone you can depend on to be there when you need service. Our technicians are trained to help solve most emergencies that may arise.
