Motorcycle Locksmith in Point Loma, San Diego

Point Loma is a peninsula, so everything comes and goes through its north end, and the places riders stop are strung along it: Liberty Station at the top, Rosecrans Street and Shelter Island on the bay side, Sunset Cliffs on the ocean side, and Cabrillo National Monument at the tip, reached by Catalina Boulevard through Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. We are a mobile locksmith for motorcycles and scooters only, and we come out to wherever on the peninsula the bike has stopped.

Two things make a lost key here more awkward than in most of the city. Several of the best known stops have closing times or no overnight parking, so a bike cannot simply wait until tomorrow. And the southern part of the peninsula is Navy and federal land, where access is controlled. Knowing which side of a gate your bike is on, and when that gate closes, is the first thing to tell us.

Closing times and parking limits that matter on the peninsula

Cabrillo National Monument is a daytime park. The entrance gate closes in the late afternoon, all visitors have to be out by closing, and there is no public access overnight. Check the current hours before you ride out. If you lose a key at the monument, tell a ranger straight away and call us as early in the day as you can.

Liberty Station, the former Naval Training Center, has large shared lots for visitors to its shops, restaurants and offices. They are managed lots with posted time limits and are not meant for overnight parking, so read the signs where you parked.

Sunset Cliffs Natural Park runs along the western edge of the peninsula, with street parking and a few small lots, including at Ladera Street. They are busiest in the hour before sunset.

Shelter Island: Shelter Island Drive, Shoreline Park, the boat launch ramp and the hotels and marinas along the bay.
Point Loma Nazarene University: on Lomaland Drive above Sunset Cliffs, with campus parking controlled by the university.
Naval Base Point Loma: gate access is controlled, so a bike inside needs base procedures or has to be moved outside the gate.

Local notes for Point Loma riders

At Cabrillo National Monument everyone has to be out when the gate closes and nobody is allowed in before it opens. A key lost late in the afternoon is a different problem from a key lost in the morning, so tell park staff and call us right away.
Liberty Station's lots have posted time limits and are not for overnight parking, so do not count on leaving a bike there until the next day.
Bikes kept on the ocean side, around Sunset Cliffs and Point Loma Heights, get the same salt air as Ocean Beach. Gas cap and seat locks that are rarely used seize first, so turn the key in them now and then.

Point Loma motorcycle key FAQ

I lost my key at Cabrillo National Monument. Can you get to me before the gate closes?

Call as soon as you notice and tell a ranger, because all visitors have to leave by closing time. We cannot promise an arrival time, so the earlier in the day you call, the more options there are. Have your photo ID and registration or title with you.

My motorcycle is parked inside Naval Base Point Loma. Can you make a key there?

Only if access is arranged through the base's own visitor procedures, which is something the rider has to set up. The simpler route is often to get the bike moved to a spot outside the gate, where we can work on it like anywhere else on the peninsula.

Can I leave my bike at Liberty Station overnight and deal with the key in the morning?

Do not plan on it. The lots there are managed, with posted time limits, and are not meant for overnight parking. It is better to call the same day so the key can be made while the bike is still legally parked.
