It's 6:45 AM. A manager shows up to open a bakery off Chillum Road. She inserts the key... and it just spins. Customers are due in 15 minutes, staff is waiting in the parking lot, and nothing's opening. That's when she calls us - and we're already rolling.
At JTR Auto Locksmith, we don't just handle lockouts. We help businesses across Chillum secure their doors, control their keys, protect inventory, and keep employees moving. Whether you're running a storefront, managing multiple units, or dealing with a broken lock on the back door, our team knows what matters to local businesses.
Sure, we help plenty of small businesses - bakeries, barbershops, nail salons, vape shops, tax offices. But we also serve:
So whether you're typing "commercial locksmith Chillum MD" on a lunch break or in a full-on security panic, we're the ones who pick up the phone - and show up prepared.
We also handle mailbox units, gate locks, fire exits, and any lock you'd find in or around a building that makes money.
A property manager for a small office plaza near Riggs Road needed 11 doors rekeyed in one day - three retail units, one medical office, and a utility room that hadn't opened in two years. We handled the whole thing before 5PM, with fresh keys labeled and handed over in-person.
Another time, a restaurant had their rear delivery entrance pried open during the night. Nothing was stolen, but the latch was busted. We replaced the mortise lock with a steel-reinforced deadbolt and gave them a restricted key set so staff couldn't make copies. No fuss. Just fast, clean work.
Commercial locks aren't just about access - they're about safety, liability, compliance, and confidence. When a deadbolt sticks or a push bar won't retract, it's not just annoying - it's a problem that could cost you time, customers, or worse.
We use proper commercial-grade hardware - not something from a residential aisle at a hardware store. And when you need something custom, we'll source it for you quickly so you're not stuck with a security gap.
If you're a property owner or building manager, rekeying between tenants isn't optional - it's essential. Whether you manage five units or fifty, we offer scalable commercial lock change options with fair pricing and fast turnarounds. We label keys, test every door, and log each change for your records.
Local businesses aren't just responsible for locking up - you're also responsible for safe exits in an emergency. We install, repair, and inspect panic bars and fire exit devices that meet Chillum and PG County code requirements.
Need to swap out an old bar that sticks or doesn't retract? We can handle that same day. Want to add push-to-exit or electronic access? We'll spec the right product and get it installed fast.
That's why so many people search for panic bar installation Chillum - and why they end up calling us.
Forget your keys? Lose your master? We handle full emergency lockouts for businesses as well. We've opened pharmacy gates before store hours, reset electronic locks in dental offices, and unlocked secure mailrooms during payroll runs.
We know when time matters, and we don't mess around with excuses. Just solutions.
You can call us once - or you can call us whenever. We offer repeat service plans for property managers and business owners who need a go-to locksmith on call. No contracts. No retainers. Just a direct number, fast response, and fair pricing every time.
Company van key stuck in the ignition? Fleet vehicle won't unlock? We also handle auto locksmith work for business owners who rely on their rides. One call handles both doors and drivers.
If you're looking for a commercial locksmith for offices, storefronts, or even mobile businesses - call us today. We're not a faceless franchise or a dispatcher in another state. We're local, equipped, and used to working under pressure.
And if you're also worried about the locks back home, we do residential locksmith work too. Same team, same tools, same high standards.
Whether you've been broken into, are taking over a new space, or just want to prevent problems before they start - we're ready when you are. Tell us what you need. We'll give you smart options, clear pricing, and fast turnaround.
Call or text anytime. Emergency or not, we treat business security like it matters - because it does.
