Finding a certified, experienced locksmith is no easy task. Sure, dozens of companies out there will dispatch an indifferent "technician" that offers "quick" solutions when you lose your keys.

If you are a business owner in Georgia, you have the weighty responsibility of protecting your patrons and securing your businesses' assets. The most common way for entrepreneurs to keep their business safe is by having a commercial locksmith in Kennesaw install quality, reliable locks on every entry point of your storefront. But, unfortunately, many business owners take the least amount of effort necessary when it comes to protecting their business.
Whether you own several franchise locations or have a single storefront, it only takes one break-in to make you realize the importance of installing high-quality locks for your commercial property. Sadly, at that point, it's too late - your ability to provide for your family and pay your bills has been compromised. For that reason alone, it's always better to be proactive about your businesses' security rather than reactive.

If your businesses' locks are old and need proper maintenance or corrective repair services, it's always best to work with a team of experts. From re-keying services to fixing stuck or broken locks, our commercial locksmiths are only a phone call away.

A commercial-grade CCTV system installed by Arrowhead Lock & Safe allows you to monitor all activities that take place under your businesses' roof.

Entryways can be especially vulnerable, but Arrowhead Lock and Safe know how to select and install the best doors for your business. When you add remote control access features, business owners can open other structures like motorized fences, large parking gates, and even barriers.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) grading system was developed years ago to standardize a testing procedure to measure the durability and strength of a door lock. This grading system applies to both residential and commercial door locks. Composed of three different grades, the ANSI grading system gives homeowners and business owners a good idea of lock quality and reliability. ANSI examines six different qualities to determine a lock's grade:
These locks offer the highest level of security and are most often used by institutions like hospitals, schools, and even museums. These locks also have the highest life expectancy, though they can be much more complex and require an expert residential or commercial locksmith in cityname to install. In today's day and age, many more homeowners are opting for Grade 1 locks (like electronic locks) for the most peace of mind. This classification of lock must hold up against 800,000 cycles, six door strikes and a 360-pound weight test.
These locks are great for residential areas with more foot traffic, like a door that leads to an apartment complex or suite of rooms. These locks can also suffice for small businesses that need a higher level of security than Grade 3 locks. Use these locks when you want to secure access to areas with valuable equipment or sensitive documents. This classification of lock requires 400,000 cycles, four door strikes, and a 250-pound weight test.
This grade of lock is best suited for residential purposes and is considered standard door hardware. This kind of lock is the least expensive and should never be used in a high-traffic area like a lobby or storefront. However, these locks would be suitable for areas without much foot traffic like storage closets or areas without expensive merchandise. Because these locks are easiest to bypass, consider upgrading your Grade 3 locks with anti-bump and anti-pick technology. This classification of lock requires 200,000 lock cycles, two door strikes, and a 150-pound weight test.
A famous animator and movie director once said: "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

Kennesaw State (6-3) saw its early season momentum halted somewhat in the past week. After opening 5-1 the Owls lost two games and won one at the Western Slam in Alberta, Canada, the most recent loss coming by a margin of 60-67 against Kent State. That leaves Kennesaw State fifth in the Conference USA so far, having finished ninth in the Atlantic Sun Conference last year with a 6-10 conference record (15-15 overall).
Simeon Cottle was the stand-out performer in defeat last time round. The junior guard put up 17 points, three rebounds and four assists while also shooting 6-6 from the free-throw line. On the season he leads the Owls in scoring with 15.8 points while also contributing 2.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists. As a team Kennesaw State scores 80.2 points a game (94th) and allows 70.7 (173rd).
Georgia State (4-4) failed to cause any surprises in its last outing as the Panthers were beat comfortably by the AP's No. 8-ranked Kentucky. The Wildcats ran out 105-76 winners, pushing Georgia State back to .500 on the season and 10th in the Sun Belt Conference prior to the start of inter-conference play at the end of December.
Prior to that loss, the Panthers had won three out of four to recover from a tough start to the 2024-25 season. Scoring points has been their big Achilles heel. Senior guard Zarique Nutter leads Georgia State with an average of 17.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists, while Nick McMullen has been strong around the nets with a Sun Belt-leading 10.1 rebounds per game. But as a unit Georgia State averages a 194th-best 75.4 points per game and has been held under 80 in six of its eight matchups. With an average of 77.8 points allowed (313th) the Panthers also rank near the bottom of Division I on defense.
