Emergency Commercial Locksmith: What to Do After a Break-In

The first hour after a break-in is critical. Use this sequence to secure entries, restore key control, and limit follow-on risk.

Priority Actions

  • Secure compromised openings and isolate failed hardware.
  • Change or rekey affected locks before next shift turnover.
  • Document damage and access points for insurance and management.
  • Review whether restricted key or access control upgrades are needed.
  • Schedule follow-up hardening after immediate stabilization.
