DFW retail stores face specific security threats that require targeted solutions. Smash-and-grab burglaries through glass storefront doors have increased across North Texas — reinforced locks, security film, and multipoint locking systems are the first line of defense. Rear door exploits are common in strip malls where back doors often have inadequate hardware. Employee theft through propped-open back doors is a recurring issue that keypad-controlled entry and automatic door closers can solve. MyKey works with retail businesses of all sizes to address these vulnerabilities.
Best Lock Types for Retail Stores
Mortise Locks for High-Traffic Entry
Retail store front doors get opened hundreds of times per day. Mortise locks — the heavy-duty lock installed inside the door — are the industry standard for retail because they handle high-traffic abuse without failing. Adams Rite, Schlage L-series, and BEST mortise locks are our top recommendations for DFW retail. Cost: $250-500 installed.
Grade 1 Deadbolts for Storage Rooms
Stockrooms, offices, and storage areas need Grade 1 commercial deadbolts — not the Grade 3 builder-grade hardware that many strip-mall landlords install. A Grade 1 deadbolt resists 800,000+ cycles and forced entry. Cost: $95-175 installed.
Glass Storefront Door Security
Aluminum-frame glass doors use Adams Rite deadlatches and multipoint locks specifically designed for narrow-stile frames. We install security pins, reinforced strike plates, and floor bolts for after-hours protection. For smash-and-grab prevention, we recommend 3M security film applied to storefront glass — it holds the glass together even when broken, delaying entry by 30-60 seconds (often enough to deter the crime).
After-Hours Retail Security
Most retail break-ins happen between midnight and 5 AM. After-hours security measures we install: floor bolts that anchor the door to the floor frame (preventing prying), security pins that connect the hinge side of the door to the frame, keypad or fob entry for early-morning opening staff (eliminating visible key use), automatic door closers that ensure back doors can't be propped open, and alarm integration that triggers when doors are opened outside business hours.
