Who this list is for
This checklist is made for commercial locksmiths who need to restock their service van between jobs. It helps techs who visit business sites stay ready for daily appointments, manage inventory, and avoid missing key supplies. If you handle rekeying, lock repairs, or key cutting for commercial clients, this list is for you.
How to use this list
Start restocking by reviewing your daily appointment list and customer site access notes so you know what jobs are coming up. Check your key blank inventory, including restricted key blanks, against what you used today. Refill key tags and key rings from your shop stock. Inspect your key cutting machine and restock brushes if needed. Top off lock lubricant, cylinder pins, and rekeying kit parts. Make sure small tools like pinning tweezers, pinning tray, and plug follower are in their spots. Cross off each item as you confirm it’s on board and in usable condition.
Common mistakes
A common slip is forgetting to check restricted key blank inventory—these aren’t always used daily, but missing them can stall a job. Another is letting key cutting machine brushes wear out, which can slow you down on site. Don’t skip reviewing your daily appointment list; it helps you anticipate special needs for each job. Also, avoid restocking only what’s visibly low—double-check all consumables.

Before you go
Before leaving the shop, do a last walk-through of the van. Confirm your daily appointment list and customer site access notes are up front.
