Why is a Reliable Locksmith System Crucial for Building Security?

In today's business world, where data and company property security is a priority, underestimating the role of reliable locksmith systems can lead to catastrophic consequences. Statistics show that as many as 67% of break-ins to commercial buildings occur through faulty or outdated door and window security.

Impact on Employee and Property Safety

Professional locksmith service is not just about protection against burglary. Above all, it's a guarantee that evacuation systems will work in a crisis situation. Blocked fire doors or faulty emergency exits can pose a deadly threat to employees. That's why regular inspections and maintenance of all locksmith elements are not only a legal requirement, but above all a moral obligation of every responsible employer.

Breakdown Costs vs Prevention

Let's look at the real costs of neglecting locksmith maintenance:

• Access system failure during peak hours: average loss is PLN 15,000 - 25,000 per hour of downtime in a large office building
• Break-in through faulty security: average losses are PLN 50,000 - 200,000, not counting data loss and reputation damage
• Penalties for non-compliance with fire safety requirements: from PLN 20,000 to 100,000 plus possible facility closure

In comparison, the annual cost of professional preventive service is only PLN 5,000 - 15,000 depending on the facility size.

Legal and Insurance Requirements

Polish law imposes numerous obligations on commercial facility managers related to locksmith system maintenance. The regulation of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration requires regular fire door inspections (minimum once a year), and insurers often require additional security measures and their certification. Lack of current service documentation can result in claim denial in case of damage.
