The Challenge
A professional office building in downtown Denver needed to upgrade their aging mechanical locks on narrow aluminum storefront doors. The building manager was dealing with several security and operational challenges:
- Lost and unreturned keys from former tenants and contractors
- Expensive rekeying costs every time a tenant moved out
- No audit trail of who entered and when
- After-hours access issues for cleaning crews and maintenance staff
- Narrow stile aluminum doors requiring specialized lock solutions
- Need for easy code management without IT complexity
The existing mechanical locks were worn, keys were widely distributed, and the building had no way to control or monitor access effectively.
Installation Process
1. Site Assessment & Measurement We carefully measured the existing door frames and verified the narrow stile door specifications to ensure perfect compatibility with the Trilogy locks.
2. Door Preparation We precisely prepared the aluminum doors and frames for the Trilogy lock installation, including proper mortising for the lock body and drilling for the cylinder.
3. Professional Installation Each Trilogy lock was installed following manufacturer specifications, ensuring proper alignment, smooth operation, and secure mounting on the narrow aluminum doors.
4. Programming & Testing We programmed all user codes, master codes, and access schedules according to the building manager’s specifications. Each lock was thoroughly tested for proper function.
5. User Training We provided comprehensive training to building management and staff on:
- How to enter access codes
- How to add/delete user codes
- How to change master codes
- Understanding the audit trail features
- Battery replacement procedures
6. Documentation We provided complete documentation including user manuals, code management sheets, and our 24/7 emergency contact information.
