The end of a renovation should include an access handover alongside the work inspection. Reconcile keys and temporary permissions issued to the crew, including subcontractors, rather than assuming the lead contractor holds every item.
Compare issued and returned access
Use the original issue record. Mark physical keys as returned, still required or missing. For supported electronic equipment, review temporary users and codes through the product's authorized administration process.
Do not infer that collecting one key removes every possible copy or that deleting one code transfers account ownership. Keep those questions separate and obtain the relevant guidance.
Resolve open items
Record who can authorize any further access or hardware work. If a key is unaccounted for, assess what it opens and the circumstances before choosing a response. Confirm shared-door or property permissions before approving alterations.
Retain the handover and any completed work record privately. A clear unresolved item is more useful than a signed checklist that overlooks missing access.
Review residential locksmith services and contact The Locksmith Team if the handover reveals a hardware or key-custody concern.
