The right access for each room

A medical office has different access needs from one door to the next. Reception, treatment rooms, staff areas and supply storage may each need different locks or different people holding keys.

Cairn works with the practice manager to identify those needs before recommending hardware. The practice sets its own access policies. We handle the locks, keys and door hardware that put those decisions into use.

  • Staff door keypads and card readers
  • Restricted key systems
  • Cabinet, desk and file locks
  • Lock changes and cylinder rekeying

Hardware for the way your practice works

From a single file cabinet to several staff entrances, each lock should match the people who need to use it and the door it serves.

  • Staff entry keypads

    Standalone keypad locks give designated staff a way to enter without carrying another mechanical key.

  • Card and fob access

    Card or fob readers provide credential-based entry for designated staff doors and supply rooms.

  • Restricted key cylinders

    Patented keyways limit where replacement keys can be made, with each issued key stamped and recorded.

  • Cabinet and file locks

    We repair or replace mechanical locks on cabinets, desks and filing units that need their own keys.

  • Rekeying after staff changes

    Where the cylinders are suitable, we change their keying so previously issued keys no longer operate them.

  • Door and closer repairs

    We address sticking latches, misaligned strikes and closers that prevent a door from shutting and latching properly.

Set key access before locks change

The hardware is only one part of a workable access plan. These are the details we discuss with the person responsible for the office.

  • When a staff member leaves

    Identify the keys or credentials that need changing rather than replacing unrelated locks throughout the office.

  • Who can open which door

    The practice identifies authorized users and decides whether separate keys, a master key or electronic entry fits each area.

  • Doors that close and release

    We check door latches and exit device release, replace devices like for like, and flag fire-rated doors for a fire door inspector or fire marshal.

  • Work after patient hours

    Installation and rekeying can be scheduled outside patient hours so the practice can plan around work on its doors.

  • A record of the finished work

    The proposal identifies the planned work, and the completed project includes a door-by-door record for the manager.

From walkthrough to working locks

We inspect the doors before specifying hardware, then complete the approved work on a schedule arranged with the practice.

  1. Discuss the practice

    Tell us which areas need attention, who can authorize changes and when patients and staff use the building.

  2. Inspect the doors

    We walk the relevant rooms and entrances, checking existing cylinders, door operation and the hardware being considered.

  3. Review the proposal

    You receive a written recommendation and price for the proposed work. The practice authorizes the scope before we proceed.

  4. Fit the agreed hardware

    We arrange the installation or rekeying around the agreed work window, including after patient hours when needed.

  5. Test and hand over

    The manager checks the completed work with us. We test keys, locks and door operation, then hand over the record for each serviced door.

Questions from practice managers

Answers to common questions about staff access, office rekeying and arranging locksmith work around appointments.

Call (702) 000-0000All questions
Can we change staff access without replacing every door lock?

Often, yes. A working mechanical cylinder may be suitable for rekeying, while electronic entry can allow changes to individual credentials. We inspect the existing hardware before recommending which doors need attention.

Can we stop staff keys from being copied at a hardware store?

A restricted key system uses a patented keyway with blanks available only through the contracted locksmith. Cairn records issued keys and releases additional keys to authorized account contacts on a signed request.

Can you install keypads on our supply rooms?

We install and service standalone keypad locks and card or fob access on suitable doors. We inspect the door and discuss who needs entry before recommending equipment.

Can your locksmith work after our last patient leaves?

Yes. Commercial projects can be arranged after patient hours when the practice needs it. We agree on the work and schedule with the authorized manager before installation.

Do your locks make our practice compliant with healthcare regulations?

Cairn makes no healthcare compliance claims. Your practice determines its own access policies and requirements. We assess and service the lock and door hardware according to the work you authorize.
