5 Signs Your Building Security Is Leaking Cash

And How to Fix It in an Afternoon

When was the last time you thought about your building's security?

If you're like most business owners, it's probably been a while.
And that's exactly how security risks sneak in.

Here’s the reality:

🔐 37.8% of U.S. burglaries involve no forced entry.
📉 56% of small businesses experienced theft last year.
🚪 1 in 3 burglaries hit commercial properties.

Most of the time, someone already had a key.

If you’re still relying on metal keys, you might be leaving the door wide open—and not just to intruders, but to unnecessary costs.

Here are five warning signs your current setup might be putting your business at risk - and how Nexkey makes upgrading simple.

1. Lost Keys Are a Recurring Headache
If you’ve rekeyed more than once this year, that’s not normal, it’s a money drain.

Lost keys = invisible risk. You have no idea who could be walking in.

Rekeying also adds up. Fast.

With Nexkey, you revoke access in seconds—no locksmith, no downtime, no drama.
That’s why so many retail and service businesses are going digital.

2. You Don't Know Who Has Access Right Now
Former employees. Contractors. That cleaning crew from two months ago.

If you can’t name who has access, you’re not secure—you’re guessing.

Nexkey shows exactly:

  • Who has access

  • When they use it

  • How to change permissions instantly

That’s control, not chaos.

Even coworking spaces are ditching keys for visibility like this.

3. You're Still Using Traditional Keys
Metal keys can be duplicated, lost, or stolen - and there's no audit trail.
Modern businesses need modern solutions.
Nexkey replaces keys with smartphones. No more key duplication runs. No more lost-key chaos. Just tap-and-go access your team actually loves using.

4. Your Business Has Grown, But Your Security Hasn't
Growth is great - until your security becomes a bottleneck.
More employees. More locations. More doors. Suddenly, your old lock-and-key setup turns into a full-time job.
Nexkey scales with you. One dashboard shows who can access what, across every door and every building.

5. You're Trusting "It's Always Been Fine"
If your security strategy is “nothing bad has happened yet,” that’s not a strategy. That’s a gamble.

Security is like insurance:
You think about it before something goes wrong.

Nexkey makes upgrading fast, affordable, and actually simple to use.

Even churches are making the switch.
