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.

Your home is only as safe as the locks that you have on your doors.

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 Alpharetta 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.
At Arrowhead Lock & Safe, our commercial door lock services are designed to ensure that your assets and your customers are protecting 24-hours a day, seven days a week. We will always take the time to walk you through your options, explaining the pros and cons of each security solution so that you can make an informed decision. With a wide range of security offerings and a reliable team of commercial locksmith experts on your side, choosing the right security setup is easy, efficient, and affordable.
Installing high-quality door locks for your business is one of the best ways to protect your assets and your commercial property. At Arrowhead Lock & Safe, we offer many commercial door lock options from the best brands in our industry. From reliable maintenance service on your current Grade 3 locks to new Grade 1 commercial door lock installation, our team of commercial locksmiths is ready to help.
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.
Commercial alarms for businesses are more complex than their residential relatives, and for a good reason. Our cutting-edge alarm systems are great for preventing and interrupting break-ins, notifying the authorities, and act as an important addition to any business that wants enhanced security.
A commercial-grade CCTV system installed by Arrowhead Lock & Safe allows you to monitor all activities that take place under your businesses' roof. Having security cameras installed around your business gives you added peace of mind and evidence for the police if a break-in occurs. Having visible security cameras can also help deter criminals and prevent suspicious activity from ever taking place.

Having the ability to control every one of your businesses' locks is a proactive, cost-efficient way to protect your customers and your assets. With a commercial-grade control access system from Arrowhead Lock & Safe, business owners can easily restrict certain areas within their store, prevent physical key duplication, record entry history, and even simplify employee turnover.
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." This quote rings especially true when it comes to protecting your home or business with the best security solutions in Georgia. If you're worried about the safety of your family or the wealth that you have worked so hard to create, contact our office today at 404-351-4331 for a free consultation.

On the evening of April 23, the City of Alpharetta will begin extensive rehabilitation and resurfacing of Windward Parkway between Georgia 400 and Alderman Drive / Windward Plaza. Lane closures will occur throughout the two-week project, but at least one lane in each direction will remain open at all times, and access to side streets will be maintained.
Due to the extent of work that must be performed to address underlying deterioration of the road between North Point Parkway and Alderman Drive, work in that area will be performed 24 hours per day so that the total number of days and impacts to motorists can be reduced.
This area of Windward Parkway has seen significant degradation of the underlying roadbed, so the asphalt layer will be removed and soil cement applied to rebuild and reinforce the foundation. Soil-cement is a mixture of Portland cement, natural soil, and water used to form a hard, semi-rigid paving surface. It is most often used in highways or as a sub-base for asphalt or other forms of paving to modify the soil subgrade strength and provide a working platform in unsuitable conditions.
In short, the section of Windward Parkway between North Point Parkway and Alderman Drive is not simply being resurfaced. It is being rebuilt to provide better strength and durability and address the underlying issues that have caused excessive formation of potholes.
Fortunately, those underlying conditions are not present in the area between GA400 and North Point Parkway, so road work in this area is limited to resurfacing/repaving and will be performed at night. Work will begin after 7:30 PM and the road will be reopened by 5:00 AM each day.
Motorists should expect travel delays on Windward Parkway beginning April 23 and lasting for approximately two weeks. The best way to minimize travel delays and frustration will be by avoiding travel during peak commute periods, as alternate routes of travel in the affected area are limited.
Businesses in the area are encouraged to promote telework options during the construction period, and large employers are asked to consider slightly adjusting arrival and dismissal times during the workday. Traffic congestion and delays can be greatly reduced by neighboring businesses coordinating so that one adjusts their times 15 minutes earlier while a neighboring business adjusts theirs 15 minutes later.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Michelle Walters never intended to expand LNB Candles beyond the immediate orbit of her daughter and her friends, but it’s success outgrew expectations.
Her small business has grown out of her home and into its own physical location, onto the shelves at Walmart and a booth at Alpharetta farmers markets.
Walters was one of the vendors at the Jan. 11 North Main Street Market at Alpharetta, a new winter farmers market that began in November. The various vendors, ranging from hot sauce shops to gluten-free tamales, set up at Henderson Commons.
Walters’ business began with a personal goal in mind. Her daughter was diagnosed with a health condition.
“We noticed she was starting to break out and get cystic acne, get very tired at night, get sleepy, and say, ‘I have headaches,’” Walters said. “And we figured out it was the candles she was burning.”
Walters said through research she discovered that some candles contain dangerous chemicals, which led her to make her own candles out of simple ingredients.
LNB has expanded beyond candles to room sprays and car fresheners. Walters said she has recently started expanding into body lotions and body sprays.
LNB Candles can be found at 6778 Jamestown Dr. in south Forsyth County, at the Halcyon Farmers Market, on Amazon and at some Walmart locations.
Noemi Espinoza, owner of Noemi’s Tamales, also started her business through a love for family. Espinoza — who makes tamales that are organic and gluten-free, sauces and salsas — said her mother and tradition are what inspired her to the business.
Espinoza founded Noemi’s Tamales in 2009 but eventually left the business behind after the birth of her grandson in 2017. However, Espinoza said, she wasn’t able to stay away for long, and she resumed tamale sales after a five-year recess.
“I would make my kids, I would make them make tamales,” Espinoza said. “Like, you just don't have life without making tamales for Christmas.”
Other vendors at the event included Boarding Pass Coffee, Mighty Greens GA, Southern Local Nuts and B&A Bees.
Businesses like Gone Bananas, owned by Eric Luidens and his wife, began because of COVID-19, and has hung around since.
Luidens’ booth featured Caribbean banana bread, which Luidens said differs from typical Georgia banana bread in ingredients, spices and flavors. Luidens, who travels to markets as far as Macon, also sells his bread on Instagram.
“Everything is natural,” Luidens said. “We source everything as local as possible, so we know what we’re putting in it.”
For those without the taste for banana, another vendor, Phil Patisserie, boasted various pastries, both sweet and savory, with a croissant base, as well as macarons. Owner Philippe Monnerie said he has baked for 20 years and finally decided to share the treats last year.
A stone’s throw away, Point Blank Pepper Co. founder Rich Newton said he launched his business four years ago as a sideline. But, when he was furloughed from his job in 2020 due to COVID, he committed fully to selling his table sauces and peppers in brine.
Newton said Point Blank has been nominated for awards, including a 2021 Flavor of Georgia finalist and the winner of the 2022 International Fiery Flave Awards.
Joern Seigies, who manages the North Main Street Market, got into the act, too.
His Bramberi Farm booth offered berries and lamb for sale.
Seigies, who frequents farmers markets to sell his berries, said he wanted to start the North Main Street event to fill the traditional off-season.
“If it picks up and it's a good winter market, we will keep it all year-round, maybe, if we get all the approvals for it, even into the summer,” Seigies said.
The market runs through March on Wednesdays 3:30-6:30 p.m. and is located at 735 N. Main St.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Thousands of drivers will face year-long commuting challenges on Kimball Bridge Road in Alpharetta as work began May 8 to replace the bridge over Ga. 400.
Alpharetta Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard said GDOT would restripe Ga. 400 between Haynes Bridge Road and Old Milton Parkway May 6. The restriping will shift lanes during construction of the new Kimball Bridge Road bridge, and the speed limit on the freeway will be reduced to 55 miles per hour on the entire stretch of the highway in Alpharetta.
The highway work will be followed by the closure of Kimball Bridge Road between North Point and Northwinds parkways to allow for construction of a temporary bridge May 8.
The Georgia Department of Transportation estimats 2023 annual daily traffic on Kimball Bridge Road westbound at 5,750 vehicles and eastbound at 4,600. The department estimates average daily traffic on Ga. 400 under the bridge at 128,000.
Drinkard said GDOT and project contractor CW Matthews estimate the demolition of the current bridge and construction will take a full year to complete.
He said construction will continue into the evening, but GDOT has been in conversation with the nearby neighborhood at Northwinds Parkway and Kimball Bridge Road to provide information and prepare residents for what to expect.
“It's going to be noisy over there,” Drinkard said.
The bridge replacement is part of the GDOT Ga. 400 Express Lanes Project, which will add paid lanes on each side of the highway between the North Springs MARTA Station in Sandy Springs and McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County.
The new bridge will include two lanes in each direction, a center median, wide sidewalks on both sides, improved street lighting and decorative elements, Drinkard said.
“In the end, capacity for both vehicles and for pedestrians in that area of Kimball Bridge Road will be improved,” Drinkard said.
He said drivers will use North Point or Northwinds parkways to detour to Old Milton Parkway or Haynes Bridge Road to avoid the road closure.
“Haynes Bridge as you're headed east or northeast, if you're headed downtown from North Point Parkway along Haynes Bridge, that area is nowhere near capacity,” Drinkard said. “So there's a lot of ability to still absorb some traffic in that area.”
