Locks for Businesses, Condos and Vacation Rentals in Cancun
This page is for the other side of the door: the people who own the lock rather than the ones standing outside it. Hosts with units in three buildings. Property managers with a hundred doors and one set of master keys. Shop owners on Tulum Avenue whose shutter decides not to open at seven in the morning.
The problems here are not emergencies so much as arithmetic. How many keys exist, and who has them. What happens when a guest checks out with one. Whether the cleaner needs access to eleven units or eleven keys. What a lockout at 2 a.m. costs when it is your guest and your review score.
Most of it is solvable in advance and cheaper than the version where you solve it at midnight. A rekey between guests costs less than a lockout call. A code lock removes the entire category of problem for units that turn over weekly. And a master key system means a cleaner carries one key instead of eleven, which is also eleven fewer keys to lose.
Why property managers use us
Your guests get an English-speaking locksmith
When a guest is locked out at midnight, they call a number and someone answers in their language, quotes a fair price and arrives. What you avoid is the version where they call the cheapest listing on the map, get quoted three times the rate, and put all of it in the review.
Master keying and key control
One key for the cleaner, one for maintenance, one per unit for the guest. We design the hierarchy with you and cut it so it holds. Restricted profiles mean copies cannot be made at a hardware counter without your card.
Code locks for units that turn over
For a rental that changes guests weekly, a mechanical or electronic code lock removes the key problem entirely: change the code between stays, no metal changes hands, nothing gets lost in a taxi. We fit and program them and show you how to change the code yourself in thirty seconds.
Shutters, padlocks and commercial doors
Roller shutters that jam, security padlocks that seize in the salt air, glass door locks, and the reinforced hardware a shop needs. First thing in the morning is when these are discovered, so it is when we schedule them.
One number, at any hour
You get the same 24-hour line as everyone else, and if you manage several properties we will set up how the calls and the billing work so you are not renegotiating it every time something jams.
How we work
Step 1 · Tell us the shape of the problem
How many doors, how many people need access, how often guests change. That determines whether this is keys, master keys or codes.
Step 2 · We walk the property
For anything over a handful of doors, a visit first. Existing hardware, condition, what can be reused. No charge for the visit or the plan.
Step 3 · You get a written plan and one price
Which doors get what, who holds which key, and what it costs in total rather than per surprise.
Step 4 · Fitted in one window
Scheduled around your occupancy so units are not out of service in high season.
Step 5 · Handover and spares
Keys labelled, codes documented, spares where you want them, and a record of what exists.
