Two kinds of commercial opening carry most of this town. The aluminium glass door on the old main street and in the units along the highway has a narrow stile with a hookbolt or a deadlatch in the rail, and it fails from wear and from doors dropping on their pivots. The steel personnel door beside a roll-up bay fails from traffic and weather. They are different repairs and they get quoted separately, because a shop with two entrances is two openings rather than one.
A hookbolt that no longer throws is very often a door that has dropped rather than a lock that has failed, and lifting the door back onto its pivot is part of the visit rather than a new lock. A deadlatch worn round is genuinely finished and gets replaced. A cylinder that binds on cold mornings and frees up by ten is usually telling you it is on its last winter.
The hour on these doors runs late rather than early: a shop finds the problem at lock-up, which is why evening work carries the same $40 as an early morning does. A unit along the highway with a shift behind it is the opposite, and that is why the early tier exists.
Work runs $149 to $419 per opening with the $89 service call inside it. A cylinder swap on a glass door sits at the low end; a hookbolt with the door realigned, or a unit door with a padlocked gate in front of it, sits higher. Most calls land either before opening or after lock-up, and both are ordinary hours for this work.
“The glass door on the shop stopped locking and I found out at closing. $186 for a new hookbolt and he lifted the door back onto its pivot while he was at it, which he said was the actual reason it had stopped meeting the keeper. Worked on it after we shut, no fuss about the hour.”

FAQ
Storefront Door Locks: quick answers
Our glass door will not lock but the key turns fine.+
Usually the door has dropped on its pivot and the hookbolt is no longer meeting the keeper. It looks like a lock failure and it is not. Lifting the door back into line is part of the visit and a great deal cheaper than the new lock somebody else will quote you.
We have a front and a side door. Is that one job?+
Two figures, because they are two openings and usually two different faults. The $89 visit is counted once for the stop, so the second door lands cheaper than it would alone. Both numbers are said before any work begins.

Gilroy plus San Martin, Hollister, Aromas, San Juan Bautista and Watsonville, around the clock, every day. Four to seven in the morning costs what an evening costs and less than a night, and whatever hour it is, the number comes back on the call with the $89 visit already inside it — and it is the number on the receipt.
