Commercial Locksmith Services: Protecting Your Customers and Your Business

ANSI Door Lock Grades Explained
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:
- Strength Cycles – How many uses a lock can withstand before a replacement lock is needed)
- Operational – This refers to a door’s ability to latch when it is closed
- Security – The effectiveness of the lock’s security
- Material – What kind of material is the lock made of?
- Finish – Satin, nickel-plated, bronze, etc.
Grade 1 Locks
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.
Grade 2 Locks
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.
Grade 3 Locks
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.

ACWORTH, GA — Applications for the federal Paycheck Protection Program have closed after benefiting more than 11.8 million pandemic-stricken businesses, including many in Acworth.
The Paycheck Protection Program started in April 2020 as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), and was extended until May 31, 2021.
There were 416,058 PPP loans approved in Georgia in 2021 alone, according to the Small Business Administration. The total 2021 amount approved was $11,056,741,932.
Loan applications were processed through banks and other traditional lenders, with the SBA backing the resulting loans. Around $800 billion in loans were approved nationwide under the program.
The loans are forgivable if borrowers meet certain criteria, including spending at least 60 percent of the money on payroll costs and maintaining employee compensation levels.
Below are some Acworth businesses that benefited from the program according to the SBA. Check here for a full, searchable database.
BLUEWATER ENTERGY INC
AARON INVESTMENTS, INC.
AMERICO MANUFACTURING CO., INC
DENTISTRY FOR CHILDREN OF GEORGIA, LLC
AARON INVESTMENTS INC.
STRATEGIC CONTRACT RESOURCES LLC
BLUEWATER ENERGY INC.
CHIEF CONTAINER CO., INC.
SARK TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC
JAIPUR LIVING INC.
Nationally, the accommodation/food service industry received the largest share of loans in 2021, with 15 percent of the total.
Around 87 percent of the loans approved in 2021 were for $50,000 or less, and they accounted for a third of the total approved amount. The average loan size was $42,000.
The program wasn't without controversy. Banks tended to prioritize large, established businesses, according to a New York Times analysis. Congress raised fees for small loans in December to encourage lenders to make small business loans, and rules were changed in February to allow unprofitable solo businesses to qualify.
Several large companies drew public ire after it was revealed that they took PPP loans instead of relying on traditional capital-raising activities. The outcry prompted the SBA to review all loan applications over $2 million and issue guidance that the program was intended for businesses that lacked access to other cash-raising methods.
Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data from the SBA for approved loans of $150,000 or more, although some loans ultimately were not made. Business owners can contact the SBA if information about a loan isn't correct. SBA data occasionally contains duplicate entries. Other feedback can be sent to content@patch.com.
Residents, staff of Acworth assisted living facility blindsided by verbal eviction notice
Janice Yu
ACWORTH, Ga. - Tranquil Gardens Assisted Living Facility's staff, residents, and their family members are in disbelief after learning the facility will be permanently closing its doors at the end of the week. Staff and residents tell FOX 5 they were given a "verbal eviction notice" on Tuesday. They were told the property was being foreclosed on. "I never thought these people would do this to these residents. There is no name for what they've done to us. Uprooting my mom at 99," said Nellie G...
ACWORTH, Ga. - Tranquil Gardens Assisted Living Facility's staff, residents, and their family members are in disbelief after learning the facility will be permanently closing its doors at the end of the week.
Staff and residents tell FOX 5 they were given a "verbal eviction notice" on Tuesday. They were told the property was being foreclosed on.
"I never thought these people would do this to these residents. There is no name for what they've done to us. Uprooting my mom at 99," said Nellie Garcia.
Jon Fisher is a resident who has been at the facility for about two months. His family was able to find him a new assisted living facility nearby to move into.
Fisher said he was initially angry when he heard the news.
"I can't believe they did not know about this before this week," he said.
Will Riggs said he just moved his father into the facility a couple of months ago. He said he's received no communication from the owners.
"No one is trying to get our money back. We've just put in about $3,500 in this place in the last two months. There's no notice of what's going on," Riggs said.
He said his father will need to undergo medical evaluations before being admitted into a new facility and they are unable to get that done by the end of the week.
Ken Byers's mother was one of the first residents at the facility when it opened its doors.
The 87-year-old recently had surgery and is a part of the memory care program.
"Mom's been here two and half years and tonight will be her last," Byer said.
He, along with other family members, are now scrambling to find their loved ones a new place to stay.
"Janice and Brian Steward, the owners of this property. They've failed us in a big way," Byer said.
Not only are residents and families unsure of the future., so are the staff members, like executive director Tiffany Echols.
"It's so inhumane. How do you do your elderly that way? How do you do your staff that way?" Echols asked.
She was emotional as she recalled her time at the facility. She said her biggest concern is making sure all of the residents have a place they can go when Friday comes.
She's now trying to figure out how to say goodbye to a place filled with people she's called family for the last two and half years.
"I have my staff here that will stick it out with me until Friday. We don't know if we'll get paid but we're going to stick it out for the love of our residents," Echols said.
She said the owners stopped by briefly on Tuesday.
Because some staff members left after getting the news, staff from nearby assisted living facilities are showing up to help with things like food, care, and finding residents new places to stay.
FOX 5 did reach out to the owners but did not head back.

2023 St. Louis Tight End Mac Markway Lists Ohio State Among Top Schools
Andrew Lind
Ohio State already has one player from St. Louis De Smet Jesuit on its roster in freshman cornerback Jakailin Johnson and now finds itself in position to land another Spartan after four-star tight end Mac Markway included the Buckeyes in his top seven over the weekend. The 6-foot-4 and 250-pound Markway, who is considered the fourth-best tight end and No. 93 prospect overall in the class of 2023, also listed Alabama, Florida, Iowa, LSU, Missouri and Notre Dame among his top schools. Markway lan...
Ohio State already has one player from St. Louis De Smet Jesuit on its roster in freshman cornerback Jakailin Johnson and now finds itself in position to land another Spartan after four-star tight end Mac Markway included the Buckeyes in his top seven over the weekend.
The 6-foot-4 and 250-pound Markway, who is considered the fourth-best tight end and No. 93 prospect overall in the class of 2023, also listed Alabama, Florida, Iowa, LSU, Missouri and Notre Dame among his top schools.
Markway landed an offer from Ohio State in March and made his way to Columbus for the first time for an unofficial visit in mid-June, at which time he and his parents hung out with head coach Ryan Day and offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Kevin Wilson and toured Ohio Stadium and the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. He also visited several other schools of interest throughout the month of June, which allowed him to trim his list to seven.
Markway is the son of former Iowa tight end Matt Markway, who played for the Hawkeyes in the late-1990s. He's also the nephew of former Ohio State tight end Steve Wisniewski, who played for the Buckeyes from 1995-99 but unfortunately passed away in 2013.
That said, it’s actually Notre Dame that is the perceived favorite at this point in Markway’s recruitment, though he doesn’t have a decision timeline in mind. He does plan to return to Columbus for a game this fall, though.
Ohio State has already secured a pair of commitments at tight end for the current recruiting cycle in Pilot Mountain (N.C.) East Surry four-star Benji Gosnell and Acworth (Ga.) Allatoona four-star Bennett Christian, which means Wilson can now focus most of his efforts on the class of 2023.
Markway is one of seven tight ends in his class with an offer from the Buckeyes who made their way to campus in June, a list that also includes Bixby, Okla., four-star Luke Hasz; Thompson’s Station (Tenn.) Independence four-star Ty Lockwood; Portland Central Catholic four-star Riley Williams; Folsom, Calif., four-star Walker Lyons; Fredericksburg (Va.) Riverbend four-star Mathias “Mega” Barnwell; and Lawrence (Mass.) Central Catholic four-star Preston Zinter.
Seeing which players return for another visit in the fall will go a long way toward determining a priority chart for Ohio State.

Top 100 overall prospect includes Ohio State in his top schools
Bill Kurelic

Ohio State offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Kevin Wilson took care of the Buckeyes’ 2022 tight end needs early. Wilson has landed commitments from two of the country’s top 2022 tight ends in 4-stars Bennett Christian from Acworth (Ga.) Allatoona and Benji Gosnell from Pilot Mountain (N.C.) East Surry.
While Wilson continues to recruit both Christian and Gosnell, he also has been working very hard on 2023 Ohio State tight end recruiting. Wilson welcomed in many of the country’s top 2023 tight ends for visits and/or workouts at Ohio State during the month of June. One of those was Mac Markway from St. Louis (Mo.) DeSmet. Markway, who Wilson offered a scholarship at the beginning of March, visited Ohio State on Sunday, June 20 as the Ohio State staff was wrapping up official visits with a great group of 2022 prospects.
“It went great,” Markway said at the time about his visit with the Buckeyes. “My parents and I were blown away. We spent a lot of time with coach Wilson and coach (Ryan) Day. They have it all figured out. The fans seem awesome. Many of them were doing the O H - I O chant at us while coach Wilson was showing us around. The strength and nutrition staff was incredible. We got to do the walk from the hotel to the stadium with coach Day like the team does on game day. It was very cool. They really care about their players. I met a few (players) as we were walking through the facility."
With all of that in mind it is not surprising that when Markway dropped his top seven schools on Saturday evening, Ohio State was included. Markway posted a Top 7 of Ohio State, Notre Dame, Missouri, Iowa, Florida, Alabama and LSU on his Twitter account.
As impressed as Markway was with his experience at Ohio State, he was equally impressed with Wilson.
“He brings the mix of old school and new school,” Markway said. “He sees all aspects of the offense. He tells it like it is. My parents and I appreciated that. I did meet his son Toby and his roommates. They all love OSU.”
The 6-foot-4 and 250-pound Markway in addition to Ohio State has a list of offers that includes all of his top seven schools as well as USC, Texas A&M, Auburn, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Stanford, Oregon and many others. The day before Markway visited Ohio State he visited Notre Dame.

Markway is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports Composite. He is the country’s No. 93 overall 2023 prospect, the No. 4 tight end and the No. 3 prospect in Missouri.

Fredericksburg (Va.) Riverbend four-star tight end Mathias “Mega” Barnwell included Ohio State in his top seven on Saturday afternoon alongside Kentucky, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Penn State, Virginia and Virginia Tech. The 6-foot-5 and 240-pound Barnwell, who is considered the 12th-best tight end and No. 184 prospect overall in the class of 2023, was previously committed to the Nittany Lions but reopened his recruitment in January.

Fredericksburg (Va.) Riverbend four-star tight end Mathias “Mega” Barnwell included Ohio State in his top seven on Saturday afternoon alongside Kentucky, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Penn State, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
The 6-foot-5 and 240-pound Barnwell, who is considered the 12th-best tight end and No. 184 prospect overall in the class of 2023, was previously committed to the Nittany Lions but reopened his recruitment in January.
Barnwell was among the hundreds of prospects who made their way to Columbus for an official, unofficial or camp visit during the month of June. Once on campus, he spent time with head coach Ryan Day and offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Kevin Wilson and landed an offer from the Buckeyes before heading home.
While his decision timeline is unclear, Barnwell plans to take an unofficial visit for a game this fall.
Ohio State has already secured a pair of commitments at the tight end position for the current recruiting cycle in Pilot Mountain (N.C.) East Surry four-star Benji Gosnell and Acworth (Ga.) Allatoona four-star Bennett Christian, which allows Wilson to start sorting through his options 2023.
Barnwell is one of nine tight ends in his class with an offer from the Buckeyes along with Sweden four-star Theodor Melin Ohrstrom; Bixby, Okla., four-star Luke Hasz; Phoenix Pinnacle four-star Duce Robinson; St. Louis De Smet Jesuit four-star Mac Markway; Thompson’s Station (Tenn.) Independence four-star Ty Lockwood; Portland Central Catholic four-star Riley Williams; Folsom, Calif., four-star Walker Lyons; and Lawrence (Mass.) Central Catholic four-star Preston Zinter.
