Commercial Emergency Scenarios We Handle
Every commercial emergency is different. Here are the most common situations we deal with across Rutland and the East Midlands — all handled the same way: quickly, professionally and with minimum disruption.
What Happens When You Call Inta-Lock for a Commercial Emergency
Commercial locksmith emergencies need a locksmith who understands the context — one who knows that the priority is getting the premises open as quickly as possible with minimum damage and maximum reliability. That is what Inta-Lock delivers.
When you call, Matt East answers personally. He asks the right questions about your door type, lock configuration and the nature of the problem to arrive prepared. He travels to your location with the correct tools and a comprehensive range of commercial lock stock on the van. In most commercial emergency situations the premises are fully secured and operational in a single visit.
Non-destructive entry is always the first approach — we use specialist tools and techniques to open the premises without drilling or damaging the door or lock. This is faster, less expensive and leaves the door fully operational. Drilling is used only when no other method is possible, and we always advise you in advance.
After gaining entry, we assess the lock and advise on the most appropriate repair or replacement. If a security upgrade to a commercial-grade cylinder or lock change is appropriate, we carry the parts and can complete the work on the same visit.
Commercial Door Types We Open & Repair
Inta-Lock carries specialist tools and stock for all commercial door types. We assess the correct approach on site before starting any work.

What to Do When Your Business Premises Are Locked Out
The most important action when your commercial premises are inaccessible is to call a qualified, insured locksmith immediately. A locked-out business loses money for every minute it cannot open — the fastest route to a solution is a professional locksmith, not DIY.
Do not attempt to force entry to your own premises. Even as the owner, forcing a commercial door risks damaging the frame, the mechanism and the door itself. It may also raise concerns with staff, neighbours or passers-by. A qualified locksmith can gain access non-destructively in most cases — faster and with no damage.
The NNAL (National Network of Approved Locksmiths) recommends verifying the locksmith's credentials before allowing them to work on commercial premises. Ask to see a DBS certificate and proof of NNAL membership. Inta-Lock holds both and is happy to present them on arrival.

Will you damage our commercial door to gain entry?
Non-destructive entry is always the first approach. We use specialist tools to open commercial doors without damaging the lock, frame or door. In the vast majority of commercial emergency situations the premises are opened without any damage. Drilling is used only as a last resort when no other method is possible — and we always advise you before proceeding.
Can you replace or upgrade the lock on the same visit?
Yes. We carry a comprehensive range of commercial lock types on the van including euro cylinders, BS3621 5-lever mortice locks and high security anti-snap options. In most commercial emergency callouts the lock is replaced or upgraded on the same visit. If a specialist or uncommon lock type is required, we will advise on timescales and can make the premises temporarily secure in the meantime.
Can you provide documentation for our insurance after a break-in?
Yes. Inta-Lock can provide written confirmation of the work carried out, the lock types installed and the specifications met. Where a commercial insurer requires evidence that BS3621 or TS007 standards have been achieved, we provide a written statement of the lock specification fitted. This is a standard part of any post-break-in locksmith callout. See also: Commercial Locks Upgraded • Commercial Hub
