Cell 2 — Coliseum, Lockwood, Elmhurst & Sobrante Park

Locksmith service around Coliseum, Lockwood, Elmhurst & Sobrante Park

The Lockwood and Coliseum industrial blocks are full of warehouses, auto shops and distribution businesses. Their locks are heavy-duty: hasps and shrouded padlocks, steel doors with rim cylinders, and roll-up doors with slide bolts. If a lock was attacked overnight, the job is usually to remove what is left and fit a new lock during the same visit, so the building can be closed again.

Around Hegenberger Road and the routes toward Oakland International Airport, car calls come from hotel car parks and long-stay lots. A rental car lockout should also be reported to the rental company; some companies have their own roadside service you may need to use first.

South of the freeway, Elmhurst, Brookfield Village and Sobrante Park are mostly small houses on long blocks between the main avenues. Residential calls here are lockouts, rekeys and replacing cheap hardware with sturdier deadbolts and strikes.

Event days at the Coliseum and the arena make traffic slow, so give the dispatcher landmarks and a phone number that will stay on.

Small businesses along the avenues in this area often run on one set of keys shared between shifts. If keys go missing, rekeying the front door, back door and gate together keeps staff working with a single new key and removes access for anyone who took an old one.

Auto repair shops in the area sometimes hold customer keys overnight in a lock box. If that box jams or its key goes missing, describe the box, its brand and how it mounts, so the locksmith can plan to open it without damaging the keys stored inside.
