Commercial Door Locks

Choosing the right commercial door lock for your business

As a business owner, one of your top priorities is ensuring the safety and security of your premises. One easy way you can protect your employees, customers, and valuable business assets from potential threats such as burglaries and unauthorised access is by choosing the right commercial door lock to control access.

But with so many commercial door locks to choose from on the market, how do you pick the right one for your business? Well, Borg Locks are here to help you. We offer a wide range of commercial door locks to suit any budget and any situation. Let’s explore a few options from our 5000 Series of commercial door locks.

When do you need a commercial door lock?

High-quality commercial door locks are a very effective way to enhance the security of your business and control access to specific areas. To start, we recommend that you consider where the lock will be situated: internally or externally?

At Borg Locks, we design our commercial door locks specifically for commercial and industrial use, offering advanced features and durability to withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy business environment.

Our wide range of commercial door locks are available in two finishes: for internal use we offer locks in professional and hardwearing satin stainless steel or satin chrome, polished chrome or polished brass finishes, or our Marine Grade Pro 2 finish for external use.

The internal finishes are sleek and hardwearing. Perfect for high traffic, heavy use doors in a commercial internal environment. Our locks will fit wooden, composite and steel doors.

The Marine Grade Pro 2 finish has been designed specifically for external use, with a UV resistant coating and having been salt-spray tested for over 1,000 hours.

Whichever finish you choose, you can be assured that all Borg Locks also go through rigorous testing of the keypads and all components used within the locks.

Now you’ve picked your finish, it’s time to choose the handle for the lock.

A recap of the benefits of commercial door locks

• Enhanced security – commercial door locks are designed to control access to key areas and offer superior security in a commercial environment compared to residential locks. Borg Locks are  made of high-quality materials such as stainless steel, chrome or brass and our unique Marine Grade Pro finish, making them extremely sturdy, durable and weather resistant.

• Convenient access control – commercial door locks also offer convenient access control for your business. With the right lock, you can easily grant and revoke access to authorised individuals, and even restrict access to certain areas within your premises. This allows you to effectively manage who has access to your business, helping to prevent unauthorised entry and protect your assets.

• Easy installation and maintenance – installing commercial door locks is typically a straightforward process, and all Borg Locks come with detailed instructions and templates to make the installation process even easier. Additionally, our commercial locks are designed for high traffic, heavy duty long-term use and require minimal maintenance to keep them functioning properly.
