Why Using Stanley Locks

Stanley Commercial Hardware (formerly part of Stanley Security and now owned by dormakaba) is known for manufacturing rugged, ANSI Grade 1 and 2 door hardware. Their locks are widely used in high-traffic environments where cost-effective performance is key.

Advantages:

• Reliable commercial-grade locks at competitive prices
• ANSI/BHMA certified for safety and performance
• Compatible with industry-standard keyways like Schlage
• Offered in a wide range of functions, finishes, and grades

Disadvantages:

• Limited smart lock options under the Stanley name
• Not as customizable or high-security as premium brands like Medeco or Sargent

Stanley locks are an ideal option for budget-conscious property managers, schools, and businesses seeking commercial-grade security without the high-end price tag.

Stanley Lock Rekey

Stanley locks are typically compatible with Schlage C keyways, making them easy to rekey, master key, or integrate into existing systems. Whether you’ve experienced a turnover in staff, a lost key, or are setting up new office access, we provide on-site Stanley lock rekeying with same-day service.

Our locksmiths carry the tools and pin kits necessary for rekeying Stanley mortise cylinders, rim cylinders, and interchangeable cores (IC), with full compatibility checks and new key issuance.

Estimated cost: $25–$45 per lock for standard rekeying, or $35–$55 for IC core rekeying and control key replacement.

Smart Locks

While Stanley locks themselves are not focused on smart integration, we can retrofit their doors and prep with dormakaba or Allegion-compatible access systems. Many Stanley lever and mortise locks accept modular platforms for badge readers, electric strikes, and mobile credentialing.

Recommended Smart Integration: Upgrade Stanley cylindrical locks with electrified latch retraction or pair with electric strikes for access control integration.

Smart Lock Alternatives: If smart functionality is critical, we may recommend compatible replacements from Schlage NDE or dormakaba E-Plex that fit Stanley preps and door hardware configurations.

We’ll help you choose between keeping Stanley mechanical reliability or upgrading to an integrated credentialed access solution based on your facility’s goals and code requirements.

Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith

Stanley locks are designed for commercial use, and while their cylindrical models are DIY-friendly, mortise locks, IC core systems, and code-compliant exit devices should always be installed by trained professionals.

DIY Pros: Feasible for simple lock swaps in pre-drilled doors using basic Stanley cylindrical models.

DIY Cons: Potential for code violations, misalignment, door damage, or lock malfunction — especially on fire-rated or panic-exit doors.

Professional Pros: Warranty-backed installation, smooth latch alignment, IC core setup, master keying, and building code compliance.

Professional Cons: Higher upfront cost — but avoids long-term security and liability issues.
