No. 2Overview
Commercial locksmith work in Berkeley
A business door gets used hundreds of times a day and opened by many hands. Restaurants, bookshops, clinics and small offices across Berkeley share the same problems: keys that walk out with former staff, a back door onto an alley that never quite latches, and one manager who holds the only key that opens everything.
Typical work is opening a locked shop or office, rekeying when someone leaves, swapping mortise cylinders on aluminum shopfront doors, adjusting panic bars and door closers, and opening locked desks and file cabinets.

- Master key systems
- Rekeying after staff leave
- Shopfront mortise cylinders
- Panic bars and door closers

No. 3Good to know
Planning a master key system
A master key plan lets each person open only the doors they need while one manager key opens all of them. Start with a list: every door, who uses it, and which ones should stay limited, such as the cash office, the walk-in or the stockroom.
Pair the plan with a restricted keyway so copies can only be cut with authorization; a key that leaves with a former employee then cannot be duplicated at a hardware counter. Ask for a quote on the whole plan and on doing it in stages.

No. 5Questions
Commercial questions
Can you rekey the shop after someone leaves?
Yes. Rekeying the affected cylinders is usually quicker and cheaper than replacing the hardware.
Do you work on aluminum shopfront doors?
Yes, including mortise cylinders, cam adjustments and the deadlatches common on glass storefronts.
Can you open a locked file cabinet?
Yes, and fit a new core so a fresh key works.
Can the work happen when we are closed?
The listed hours are Monday through Sunday, All day. Call to book a time that does not interrupt trade.
