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.

More than one-third of U.S. burglaries (37.8 %) involve no forced entry at all—someone already had a way in. For small businesses, the problem is widespread: 56 % reported a theft last year, and burglaries hit commercial properties nearly one out of every three incidents. Sticking with metal keys leaves those doors—and your bottom line—wide open.

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, it's not just a hassle — it’s a hidden liability.

Every lost key is a potential open door you can’t see. Rekeying costs pile up, and you’re stuck hoping no one abuses old access.

Nexkey eliminates the key problem. Grant or revoke access instantly from your phone — no locksmiths, no key rings, no worries.

2. You Don’t Know Who Has Access Right Now

Former employees. Contractors. Cleaning crews.

If you can’t list everyone who can enter your building, you’re not secure — you’re guessing.

With Nexkey, you see exactly who has access, when they use it, and can change permissions in seconds. That’s control — not hope.

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 only defense is, “Nothing bad has happened yet,” you’re playing with fire.

Security is like insurance — the worst time to think about it is after something goes wrong.

Smart access control is a proactive move — and Nexkey makes it easy, fast, and cost-effective.

✅ Take Control — Before You’re Forced To
