Commercial Locksmith Services — Rutland & the East Midlands
Trusted by businesses across Rutland since 2011. Inta-Lock provides a full range of commercial locksmith services for offices, retail premises, schools, landlords, letting agents, industrial units and all other commercial property types across Oakham, Uppingham, Stamford, Melton Mowbray, Leicester, Corby and 35 locations across the East Midlands.
Commercial locksmith work carries specific requirements that differ from residential work. Access control, master key systems, high-security locks for insurance compliance, fast emergency response for business premises and landlord rekeying between tenancies all demand a locksmith who understands the commercial environment. Inta-Lock has been working with commercial clients across Rutland since 2011.
When you call Inta-Lock for a commercial job, Matt East answers personally. He gives you a clear upfront quote, works to your timetable and carries out the work himself. No subcontractors, no call centres — one experienced, DBS checked and fully insured locksmith who takes commercial security seriously.
Inta-Lock is a registered member of the NNAL (National Network of Approved Locksmiths), holds an NCFE qualification in locksmithing and carries a current Enhanced DBS certificate. We are fully insured for commercial work including public liability cover.
Who Inta-Lock Works With
Inta-Lock provides commercial locksmith services across all commercial property and business types in Rutland and the East Midlands.
We understand that void periods cost money — we work quickly and reliably to minimise turnaround time between tenancies. Ongoing relationships available for portfolio landlords requiring regular rekeying.
Our Commercial Locksmith Services
All five commercial services are carried out personally by Matt East. Available 24 hours a day for emergencies and by appointment for planned work.
We also cover staff lockouts during the working day, broken keys in commercial locks and jammed or seized commercial door locks.
We work with landlords and letting agents for fast, professional rekeying between tenancies — minimising void periods and ensuring the incoming tenant starts with a fully secured property.
We advise on the correct specification for your premises type and insurance requirements before recommending any lock. The NNAL and Association of British Insurers both publish guidance on commercial security standards.
Inta-Lock carries commercial-grade uPVC gearboxes, hinges and handle sets on the van. Most commercial uPVC door repairs are completed in a single visit. We work around your business hours where possible.
We advise on the correct European safe standard (EN 1143-1) and cash rating for your insurance requirements, supply certified safes and install them correctly with the appropriate floor-fixing or wall-fixing for commercial premises. See also: Residential safe services.
Specialist Service for Landlords & Letting Agents
Landlords and letting agents represent a significant part of Inta-Lock's commercial client base. The requirements are specific — fast turnaround between tenancies, reliability, the ability to work across multiple properties and a locksmith who understands the urgency of minimising void periods.
Every tenancy change should involve a lock change. You cannot guarantee a departing tenant has returned every key copy. Whether keys were cut by the tenant, given to family members or simply lost — a full cylinder replacement on all external doors at the start of each new tenancy is the only way to be certain the incoming tenant starts with secure, uncompromised locks.
Inta-Lock provides a reliable, professional rekeying service for landlords and letting agents across Rutland, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. For letting agents managing multiple properties, we can arrange priority response and reduced call-out times for regular clients. The NRLA (National Residential Landlords Association) recommends changing locks between all tenancies as standard practice.

Commercial Locksmith Needs vs Residential
Commercial locksmith work requires a different approach, different stock and a different understanding of client requirements. Here is how the two differ.
Commercial Locksmith FAQs
Do you provide emergency locksmith cover for businesses outside normal hours?
Yes. Inta-Lock is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for commercial premises. A locked-out business at 6am before opening, a failed lock at the end of a trading day or a security issue during the night all receive the same response — call 01572 503203 and Matt answers personally with an ETA and upfront quote.
Are you DBS checked for work in schools and healthcare premises?
Yes. Inta-Lock holds a current Enhanced DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service) certificate — the highest level of government background check. This is a requirement for work in schools, healthcare premises, care homes and other regulated environments. The certificate is available to view on arrival at any job.
Can you provide written confirmation of lock specifications for insurance purposes?
Yes. Where a commercial insurer requires confirmation that specific lock standards have been met — BS3621 mortice locks, TS007 3-star cylinders or other specified standards — we can provide written confirmation of the work carried out and the lock specifications installed. Call to discuss your specific insurance requirements before booking.
I manage a portfolio of properties — can you provide an ongoing service?
Yes. Inta-Lock works with several landlords and letting agents managing multiple properties across Rutland and Leicestershire on an ongoing basis. If you manage multiple properties and need a reliable, responsive locksmith for end-of-tenancy rekeying and emergency callouts, call 01572 503203 to discuss an arrangement that works for your portfolio.
What types of commercial locks do you install?

British Standard 5-lever mortice locks (BS3621) for timber doors • TS007 3-star anti-snap euro cylinders for uPVC, composite and aluminium doors • High security commercial cylinders • Rim locks and deadbolts for secondary locking • Padlock hasps and shrouded padlocks for industrial units and outbuildings • Key cabinet and key safe installation

Commercial Locksmith Questions
Can you rekey office locks after a member of staff leaves?
Yes. Staff departure rekeying is one of our most common commercial callouts. When an employee with key access leaves — voluntarily or otherwise — changing the cylinders on all doors that key could open is essential security practice. Inta-Lock carries commercial cylinders on the van and can usually carry out the rekey on the same day you call. We also advise on high security cylinder upgrades at the same time if the existing locks are standard specification.
Can you install a master key system for our business premises?
Yes. Master key systems allow different keys to open different combinations of locks — a master key opens everything, departmental keys open specific areas and individual keys open only a single door. This is widely used in offices, schools, care homes and multi-tenanted commercial buildings. Call 01572 503203 to discuss your specific access requirements and we will advise on the appropriate system for your premises.
Can you secure a commercial property after a break-in?
Yes. Emergency security after a break-in is one of our most time-sensitive callouts. We attend as quickly as possible, assess all entry points, make the premises secure and advise on upgrading to insurance-compliant locks where the existing specification was inadequate. We can provide written confirmation of the work carried out for insurance claims. Call 01572 503203 immediately — we cover commercial break-in security 24 hours a day.
Do you work with letting agents on an ongoing basis?
Yes. Inta-Lock has ongoing working relationships with several letting agents managing properties across Rutland and Leicestershire. We provide priority response for rekeying between tenancies, emergency tenant lockout cover and maintenance lock work across managed portfolios. Call 01572 503203 to discuss how we can support your managed property portfolio. See also: Commercial Locks Changed
Are you insured for commercial premises work?
Yes. Inta-Lock carries full public liability insurance for all commercial locksmith work across all premises types including offices, retail, schools, healthcare and industrial units. Evidence of insurance is available on request. This is standard practice and something any reputable commercial locksmith should be able to provide immediately.
