- Rekey cylinders that are in good condition, or remove and install new locksets and deadbolts
- Reinforce strikes, test every key and bolt with the door closed, and hand over all new keys
- Referred out: lockouts with no working key, safes, commercial master-key systems and high-security cylinders go to a locksmith; hardwired access control goes to a licensed electrician
