These streets are the heart of the ordinary residential week. The houses went up close together in time, which means the hardware did too: builder-grade knob sets and deadbolts, a service door at the side of the garage, a gate to the back yard, and over thirty years a household has accumulated three or four keys and carries one of them. Bringing the front door, the garage service door and the side gate onto a single key is $25 to $41 per cylinder and is the most useful hour anybody spends on one of these houses.
The garage is how people actually come and go, exactly as it is across the valley, but the failure here is not the opener. It is the door between the garage and the house, which on this vintage is often a hollow slab with a passage latch and no deadbolt at all — the weakest lock in the house sitting behind the least secure part of the property. A proper deadbolt in it is $112 to $279, and that is the whole of what we will say on the subject.
The early window is busy here because this is commuter housing. People leaving for San Jose are in the car by half past five, and a door that shuts behind somebody at twenty past costs them the gap in the traffic. A house lockout is $119 to $209 with the early $40 counted in, which is the same as an evening call and less than the $70 after midnight, and the van reaches these streets in about eleven minutes.
Keypads are the other steady job. A good share of these houses have had one fitted at some point, and the codes were set by whoever installed it and never changed. Changing a code costs nothing and takes two minutes; retiring the metal keys that were handed out at the same time is $25 to $41 a cylinder. A new keypad deadbolt, where the old one has genuinely failed, is $169 to $419.
Give the street and the nearest cross street, and say which door: the front, the garage service door at the side, the door from the garage into the house, or the back gate. If you are trying to leave for a shift, say the time you need to be moving — it changes how the visit is ordered.

FAQ
Asked about Sunrise Park & north Gilroy
Can one key open the front door, the garage service door and the gate?+
Yes, and it is the job we do most on these streets. The locks stay on the doors and take new pins, which retires every key handed out before today. $25 to $41 per cylinder, with the second and third at the low end because the van is already in your driveway.
Does the door from the garage into the house matter?+
It is usually the weakest lock in the house, and it sits behind the part of the property that is easiest to get into. On this vintage it is often a passage latch with no deadbolt at all. Fitting one is $112 to $279 and it is the single most useful upgrade on these streets.
