Office Moving Checklist: Locks, Keys and Access

Moving offices is a rare chance to reset access properly.

At the new space

• Rekey every exterior and suite door. The previous tenant’s staff may still have keys.
• Plan a master key system before handing out keys.
• Check exit doors for proper panic bars and fire-code compliance.
• Consider an access control system if staff or hours change often.

At the old space

• Collect all keys and fobs from staff.
• Return keys to the landlord with a written list.
• Don’t leave a safe behind with a combination someone still knows; if you can’t open one, safe opening is an option with proof of ownership.
