Local notes

Towers, lofts and building engineers

Downtown Chicago is office towers, hotels, restaurants and a fast-growing number of residences in converted lofts and new high-rises. Commercial calls dominate: office suite lockouts, rekeys after staff changes, file cabinets, panic bars on rear exits.

Almost every large building has a security desk or a building engineer who controls contractor access. Some require a certificate of insurance before an outside locksmith can work. Ask the property manager before you book, so the locksmith isn't turned away in the lobby.

Talk to dispatch

Give dispatch the cross streets, the type of lock and what went wrong. You hear an approximate estimate before anyone is sent.

West Loop and South Loop

Fulton Market's warehouses now hold restaurants, offices and showrooms. Their doors are a mix: heavy steel back doors with old cylinders, new glass storefronts, freight entrances with padlocks. Restaurant owners often want one key for managers and narrower keys for kitchen staff.

The South Loop around Printer's Row and the museum campus is more residential: converted printing buildings, newer towers and townhouse rows. Unit rekeys and lockouts are the usual calls there.

The Pedway and the river make downtown confusing for drivers. A building name and a street entrance help.

Getting to you

Security desks and loading docks

Give dispatch the building name, the floor and the sign-in rules. Many towers route contractors through a loading dock off a lower-level street. Parking is scarce and expensive, so say if there is a dock, a garage or a loading zone the locksmith can use.

Questions

Questions from this area

Our building needs a certificate of insurance. Can you send one?

Ask dispatch when booking. The independent contractor who takes the job provides it.

My ZIP is a P.O. box downtown. Which page do I use?

This one. All downtown P.O.-box and single-building ZIPs are covered here.

Can you rekey a whole office suite in one visit?

Usually. Count the doors and cabinets first so dispatch can estimate the visit.

Do you help with cars in Loop garages?

Yes, once the garage attendant lets the locksmith in.
