24/7 Business Lockout Services

Fast, Professional Help for Locked-Out Businesses – Anytime, Anywhere

A business lockout can happen at any hour — before opening, during a late shift, or after closing. When it does, you need immediate support from a team you can trust. Armstrong Smarter Security offers fast, reliable 24/7 business lockout services across New Zealand. Our licensed commercial locksmiths are on-call day and night to restore access and keep your operations running smoothly.

We Unlock Offices, Shops, Warehouses and More

From small retail stores to large industrial sites, Armstrong provides expert help when you’re locked out of any commercial property. We understand that time is money — our priority is to get you back inside quickly, without damage to your doors, locks, or access systems.

Our emergency business lockout services include:

  • Fast entry for locked offices, shops, clinics, and warehouses
  • Non-destructive door unlocking
  • Secure re-entry for keyless or access-controlled premises
  • Immediate lock repair if mechanisms are damaged
  • Temporary solutions if keys are lost or stolen
  • Lockouts involving safes, cabinets, and secure storage areas

Commercial Lockouts Can’t Wait — And Neither Do We

Whether a staff member misplaced keys or your digital access system failed, we’re ready to help — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our mobile teams are fully equipped to respond to any commercial lockout situation, even after-hours, on weekends, or during holidays.

Emergency access to server rooms or high-security zones

When access to critical areas is blocked due to a lost key, lock failure, or electronic malfunction, our locksmiths provide immediate, damage-free entry to restore operations and prevent downtime.

Safe unlocking for forgotten codes or failed electronics

If your digital safe won’t open due to a forgotten PIN, dead battery, or system failure, we use specialised tools to safely regain access without compromising the contents or structure.

Business premises rekeying after staff termination

Following the departure of key personnel or security incidents, we rekey your existing locks to prevent unauthorised access while maintaining hardware continuity across your site.

Master key system overrides

For businesses using a master key setup, we provide override services when access is lost or compromised, including master key recovery, replacement, or reconfiguration — all performed under strict security protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely. For commercial lockouts, security is our top priority. We require proof of identity and verification that you have the authority to access the premises (such as a business card, ownership documents, or authorisation from a manager) before we can open the door.

This protocol protects your business assets and ensures we are not granting access to unauthorised persons.

Yes, our commercial technicians are trained to bypass and troubleshoot electronic access control systems.

If your swipe card reader has failed, the power is out, or the magnetic lock (maglock) is jammed, we can generally help you gain entry and secure the building afterwards without damaging the electronic hardware.

We understand that commercial aluminium and glass doors are expensive to replace.

Our locksmiths use specialised non-destructive entry tools designed specifically for commercial hardware (like hook bolts and Adam Rite locks) to manipulate the lock open cleanly, ensuring your storefront remains intact and secure.

Yes. If the lockout was caused by lost or stolen keys, simply opening the door leaves your business vulnerable.

We carry commercial cylinders and pins in our mobile vans, allowing us to rekey the locks on the spot. This ensures the old keys will no longer work, restoring your business security instantly.

Yes, we work with many commercial clients across New Zealand.

While emergency callouts often require immediate payment via credit card or EFTPOS on-site, we can set up trade accounts for established businesses, property managers, and fleet operators for ongoing service and easier billing.
