Office suites
Downtown offices sit in managed buildings with card-access lobbies. Suite locks are often interchangeable-core levers; a lost key usually means re-coring. Check with building management first — many require a certificate of insurance from any contractor.
Uptown apartments
New towers in Uptown have fob entry and often keypad or smart unit locks. When a smart lock's battery dies, many have a hidden key cylinder or a terminal for a temporary battery. Know the model when you call.
Bars, restaurants and venues
Uptown's nightlife district rekeys constantly as staff change. A master-key system lets owners carry one key while staff keys open only what they need.

Fig. 02 — Typical calls
Calls we take downtown
- Interchangeable cores
- Suite rekeys
- Smart lock lockouts
- Bar and venue rekeys
- Apartment lockouts
- Garage car lockouts
Downtown parking is mostly garages and meters. For a car lockout, give the garage name and level. On show nights at the theaters, traffic around Broadway and Telegraph slows; tell dispatch if there's an event.
Old Oakland and Uptown storefronts in historic buildings often keep original doors; rekeying their cylinders keeps the frontage intact.
Lake Merritt's west shore and the blocks around the courthouse also have older apartment buildings with original brass unit hardware. Rekeying those cylinders keeps the character while closing access for previous tenants. Ask building management before changing anything visible in the hallway.
