Suites in managed buildings
Office buildings usually control the main entrance and elevators with access cards, while each tenant suite has its own lock. Check with building management before changing a suite lock; many buildings want a key for emergencies.
Interchangeable cores
Many office locks use interchangeable cores, which let the cylinder be swapped in seconds with a control key. If you have the control key, re-coring is quick; without it, the locksmith may need to drill or replace the lock.
Street-level businesses
Storefronts use mortise cylinders in glass doors, roll-down grilles and back doors onto alleys. Restaurants with high turnover rekey often; a master-key system keeps managers from carrying a dozen keys.
Talk to dispatch
Give the street address and the nearest corner, and say whether there's a concierge, an English-basement entrance or an alley door.
