Keys protect your valuables, whether it’s your home and all the possessions in it, your car or items in a safe. That’s why it’s important to always have a second key for your front or back door at home and/or your business, your car, and other important keys you might have. Just imagine if one of them got lost. These keys should be hidden in a secure place or given to relatives or trusted friends so that you can get access in case of a misplaced key or in an emergency.
A duplicate key can easily be made when you still have the original key at hand. If you need the second key for a business property you lease or rent talk to the property owner first to make sure that it’s ok to get the duplicate key made. Or perhaps the lock should be changed all together and in that case the property owner might reimburse you the cost for the new lock.
Having a duplicate key of your most important keys made will save you time and money if that day should come when the original key is misplaced or stolen. Of course if you suspect the key was stolen you want to have your locks changed.

Panic bars, the push bars installed on doors leading outside, allow employees and/or customers get quickly and safely out of the building when disaster strikes. In the workplace OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires a continuous and unobstructed path of exit to a place of safety. Crash bars, as panic bars are also known, provide a quick way to escape in an emergency.
