Locksmith Services
Grah Safe & Lock provides comprehensive locksmith services including emergency lockout assistance, rekeying, and high-security lock installation. Our certified technicians serve residential, commercial, and government clients with on-site estimates and rapid response times. With over a century of experience, we specialize in preventing unauthorized access through advanced key control systems and Medeco-certified solutions.
Safe Installation
We offer sales, installation, and servicing of fireproof, burglary-resistant, and combination safes for homes and businesses. Our C-28 licensed contractors handle units up to 10,000 lbs and service GSA containers requiring classified storage compliance. From Liberty Safes to Amsec models, we ensure proper selection based on valuables, access frequency, and fire protection needs.
Access Control Systems
Our access control solutions feature brands like Schlage and Medeco for keyless entry systems with audit trails and time-zone restrictions. Services include retrofitting existing hardware, installing biometric scanners, and integrating network-based authorization systems. Customizable for small businesses or large government facilities needing secure credential management.
Video Surveillance
Professional installation of HD and remote-access surveillance systems tailored to residential and commercial needs. We assess lighting conditions, coverage areas, and recording requirements to design solutions from basic nanny cams to court-admissible evidence-grade cameras. Systems integrate with existing security measures for enhanced monitoring.
Key Duplication
Secure key duplication services controlling unauthorized copying through patented keyway systems. Available in-store or on-site, we cut replacements for lost keys using domestic blanks while advising on high-security alternatives like Primus or Keymark systems to prevent unauthorized access.
