Mortise Lock Rekey
The most common type of lock for a commercial property is the mortise lock. The first step of the rekey process in this situation is typically to determine what kind of keyway the lock is, although it is safe to assume that commercial properties typically use the schlage keyway it is always good to double check before beginning work. The next step would usually be to unhinge the set screw and take the mortise lock out of the mechanism. The next step would then be to start taking the lock itself apart, you would typically do this by unscrewing the tailpiece and turning the lock to the unlocked position. After turning the cylinder to the unlocked position you can remove it from the housing and replace the old pins to ones of different lengths matching a new key with different cuts (but still the same keyway).
Lost all Keys Rekey
If you have lost all the keys to your commercial property it is important to rekey your locks so that you can secure your property and have access to it. If you are locked outside of your property due to losing all your keys then the first step would obviously be to perform a pick and gain entry into your property. The rekey would then be performed as usual by changing out the pins of the cylinder to ones of different lengths in different positions as to match a differently cut key.

Commercial Door Lever Rekey
Many commercial properties have rooms inside of them. Those rooms are often fitted with commercial door levers as to keep those rooms secure. Often times doors which have commercial door levers equipped lead into rooms which have valuable items. This is especially true if these commercial door levers have the storeroom function, which ensures that the door must always be opened with a key from the outside (automatically locked from the outside) and is always unlocked from the inside. These rooms often contain the cash remaining within registers after the day is over or valuable merchandise.
As with all rekey jobs the first step in a rekey of a commercial door lever is to remove the cylinder from the rest of the mechanism. This is usually done by turning the key and pushing on a button on the side of the cylinder which in turn pushes on a spring and allows the cylinder to be removed. If you already have a copy of the key this is fairly easy to do, it may be more complicated if you do not have a copy of the key. In this case the locksmith would need to pick the cylinder to turn it then disassemble it.
There may be a variety of reasons why one would want to rekey the cylinder within their door lever, It could be because they have lost all their keys, or simply because someone who they do not wish to have access to the contents within that door may have access to copies of that key. Whatever your reason may be for wanting to rekey your commercial door lever, you can count on Extra Locksmith in Provo to do the job.
