Burbank productions rely on secure, organized office spaces. These locations often manage payroll, scripts, casting data, and gear storage. A weak entry point or unsecured interior space puts production at risk. Preventing these gaps protects daily operations and avoids delays.
At West Coast Locksmith, we help production teams improve their office security with commercial-grade solutions. This guide outlines effective methods for reinforcing entry points, managing internal access, and securing high-value areas.
Secure Rooms That Handle Sensitive Content
Each production office serves different functions. Some handle cast schedules, others store equipment, and many host multiple departments. It’s important that access to each room reflects its purpose.
High-traffic areas, such as post-production or payroll offices, benefit from smart locks that assign codes to specific team members. Shared storage or wardrobe rooms often do best with restricted key systems. Instead of providing a single universal key to everyone, we help establish tiered access levels. This keeps sensitive materials protected while allowing teams to move efficiently.
Keep Entry Points Controlled and Consistent
Production crews, delivery teams, and contractors may enter and exit the site at any time. Your main doors should support frequent use without sacrificing control. We install commercial-grade keypad systems, electronic locks, and reinforced hardware that support this kind of movement.
Each building layout is different. Some offices use multiple entrances, back corridors, or loading zones. Our locksmiths inspect every detail to ensure locks align with your team’s workflow and prevent outside interference. Stronger strike plates and latch guards improve durability on high-traffic doors.
Protect Equipment, Laptops, and Records
Gear theft is a real risk during off-hours or breaks in filming. Equipment rooms, tech closets, and supply storage require a higher level of protection. If a door feels flimsy or hardware looks dated, it may fail under pressure—even with a working lock.
We reinforce doors with longer screws, secure strike plates, and latch guards. If needed, we upgrade hinges or install secondary locks. For rarely accessed rooms, high-security locks or dual-authentication options (like keypad + key) offer added control.
Manage Keys and Codes Across Crews
Misplaced keys and shared door codes are common problems in production offices. After cast or crew changes, keys may not be returned—or worse, may have been copied. If you can’t track who can open a door, you lose control of your space.
To fix this, we help maintain clear access logs and offer rekeying services when needed. For offices using smart locks, we show how to reset codes quickly and track entries through app-based systems. This keeps the right people in and the wrong ones out.
Don’t Overlook Temporary Office Spaces
Some teams operate out of short-term rentals, trailers, or converted spaces. These locations still handle sensitive materials and need real locks, not just deadbolts or padlocks.
We supply portable keypad locks, secure lock boxes for key handoffs, and door reinforcements for mobile or pop-up workspaces. Even if your setup is temporary, security gaps shouldn’t be.
Stay Ahead with Professional Support
If a lock breaks or a code stops working, your shoot could stall. That’s why we support Burbank production offices with on-call services, scheduled lock maintenance, and security planning. Whether you’re securing your main office, updating hardware, or expanding into a second space, we help keep your building safe and your crew moving.
