Cell 1 — Commercial Locksmith
Commercial locksmith service for Oakland businesses

Cell 2 — Business
Storefront and office lockouts
Commercial doors use heavier hardware than homes: mortise locks in aluminium storefront frames, rim cylinders on steel back doors, and lever sets with interchangeable cores. Opening them without damage takes the right tools, and the locksmith will ask for proof that you are the owner, manager or an authorized key holder before starting.
If the person with authority is not on site, have them call ahead or send written permission. It saves time at the door and keeps the visit straightforward.
- Aluminium storefront mortise locks
- Steel back doors and rim cylinders
- Office suite doors
- File cabinet and desk locks

Rekeying after staff changes
When an employee leaves without returning keys, rekeying the affected doors is quicker and cheaper than replacing hardware. For businesses with several doors, a master key system lets managers carry one key while staff keys open only the rooms they need.
Ask for a key schedule at the end of the job. It lists which key opens which door and makes the next staff change much easier to manage.
Cell 4 — Business
Panic bars and exit devices
Exit devices on fire doors have to release from the inside without a key. A sagging or sticking panic bar is a safety problem as well as a security one. The locksmith can adjust, repair or replace the device and check that the outside trim locks correctly when the door closes.
If your fire marshal or landlord has rules about exit hardware, mention them when you call so the right parts come on the visit.
- Panic bar adjustment
- Exit device replacement
- Door closer checks
- Outside trim and cylinder
Cell 5 — Business
Securing a business after a break-in
Forced shop doors often have a bent bolt, a ripped strike or a cylinder that was pulled. The first job is making the door lock again so the premises can be left. Larger frame damage may need a door contractor; the locksmith will say so plainly rather than patch something that will not hold.
Cell 6 — Business
Planning access for a growing team
As a business adds staff, keys multiply. Before cutting another copy, think about which people need which doors. Restricted keyways, which can only be copied with authorization, stop staff from duplicating keys at a hardware store, and a simple key log shows who holds what.
When a lease ends or a new tenant takes over a unit, rekey every exterior door before moving stock in. The previous tenant's staff, cleaners and contractors may still hold keys.

Cell 8 — FAQ
Questions callers ask
Can you make one key for all our doors?
Often, yes, if the locks share a compatible keyway. Where they do not, a master key system with new cylinders may be quoted.
Will I get an invoice for the business?
Yes. You pay the locksmith directly and receive an invoice you can keep for bookkeeping or an insurance claim.
Do you work on electronic keypads?
Many keypad locks can be serviced. Tell the dispatcher the brand and model so the right parts and codes can be prepared.
