Start with responsibility for the opening
A tenant, property manager and building owner may each control different parts of an entrance. Explain whether your request concerns your own suite, an exterior customer door or a shared passage. Identify the authorized contact and any approval that needs to be in place, particularly when other occupants use the same hardware.
The Village's business guidance describes the Central Business District and planning considerations for opening a business. It does not establish permission to change a particular lock. Our door-planning guide helps separate key control from the physical work someone is asking you to approve.
- Identify the exact business door or shared entrance.
- Name the authorized contact.
- Clarify any property-manager approval needed.
