Commercial Door Lock Repair and Storefront Security
ACME Locksmith handles commercial door lock repair and security on aluminum glass storefront doors across the Phoenix metro, the kind on nearly every strip mall and office park. We are a licensed, veteran-owned company, in business since 1997, with four valley shops and more than 170,000 jobs completed. From commercial lock installation to fixing the three well-known weak points that let a thief inside in seconds, we close every gap with a cylinder guard, a latch guard plate, and high-security locks. We serve Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Gilbert, and the Valley.
Three Ways In, and How We Stop Each One
Every glass storefront door has the same three weak spots.
Twisting the cylinder
A thief grabs the mortise cylinder with channel locks and twists it right out, no matter how expensive the lock. We install a cylinder guard that blocks tools from gripping the lock. Fast and affordable. See it on our YouTube Channel.
Bypassing the latch
A cheap tool slides into the frame and pops the latch from inside, and it works even on high-security locks. We install a latch guard plate so the tool cannot reach the latch. See it on our YouTube Channel.
Picking or bumping
Most storefront locks pick or bump open in under a minute with no damage. We install high-security locks with patented, copy-restricted keys so the lock resists attack and staff cannot copy keys.
A 5-Second Break-In, and the Quick Fix
Without a cylinder guard, a simple pair of channel locks is all it takes to torque a mortise lock out and break into your business in about five seconds. The cylinder guard wraps the lock so tools cannot grab it.
Serving the Phoenix Valley
We serve the entire Phoenix Valley from four shops: Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Gilbert, with mobile service across the metro.
What Phoenix Businesses Say

This business is incredible, I needed a 1990 toyota 4runner sr5 4×4 6cyl key, to bring down the rear window, as the original was bent into submission.
The process was easy as h🏒🏒 I had the title, registration ext. To me, it was like they … More couldn't believe that vehicle was still on the road.
I would recommend these people to anyone that would listen Dealerships are way too expensive. This was maybe a ⅓ of the cost at a dealership. -
Ernie is an excellent full service locksmith with a real store! I drove up in my RV with 2 locked doors with no key. He opened them quickly and replaced the locks with new matching keys. I’ve done other business over the years with total … More satisfaction and fair prices.

Just north of the intersection of Indian School and 16th Street, tucked in a small business complex and accessed by means of a narrow driveway is a real gem that is run by Charlie, a dedicated guy who tries his very best to meet customer … More needs. For me, he found a key blank for a 26-year old vehicle and ground to perfection and wouldn’t let me leave until he was assured that it worked. Nice to fine that level of dedication, which Charlie delivers at his key shop
Storefront Door Security FAQ
Why is my aluminum storefront door so easy to break into?
These doors have three known weak points: the cylinder can be twisted out with channel locks, the latch can be popped with a cheap bypass tool, and standard locks pick or bump open fast. We fix all three.
What is a cylinder guard?
A hardened ring that wraps the mortise cylinder so tools cannot grip and twist it out. It is a fast, affordable upgrade that stops the most common storefront attack.
Does a latch guard really stop the bypass tool?
Yes. The latch guard plate blocks the path the tool needs to reach the latch, so the bends required make the bypass impossible.
Can you stop lock picking and bumping on my storefront?
Yes. We install high-security locks with tight tolerances, security pins, and patented keys that cannot be copied without your permission, so staff are the only ones with working keys.
Do you repair broken storefront hardware too?
Yes. We replace failed hookbolts, deadlatches, pivots, and closers on aluminum storefront doors across the Phoenix metro.
