Santa Clara: older grids of single-story houses with newer apartment blocks dropped in between them
The city across the valley floor to the west: flat grids of small single-story houses on modest lots, newer three- and four-story apartment buildings on the larger parcels between them, and shops and offices along the main roads. Thirty-one minutes.

This city looks like two price lists on one map, except that it is the same list. In the older grids the entire entry belongs to one household, so the errands are the plain ones: a house lockout at $129–$246 with the $89 call-out inside it, new pins after a purchase or a change of tenant at $30–$47 per cylinder with everything after the first at the low end, and a first proper deadbolt at $126–$338 on a door that has spent its whole life on a knob latch. The newer apartment blocks put a gate, a lobby and a corridor in front of the door you actually live behind, and only that last one is yours to order work on, which is settled during the call rather than at the step. Along the main roads the work is commercial and it lands at closing time: storefront and suite hardware at $159–$486 per opening, a business lockout at $142–$265, exit devices at $312–$805 per door, with $48 riding on an arrival between eight and midnight. Thirty-one minutes is the honest run across the valley floor, and no figure changes for the distance.
Say whether it is a house, a unit in a block or a shop, and which door stopped you. For a unit, say whether a gate or a lobby stands in the way and whether anybody inside can let a technician through. For a shop, give the time you lock up, since that settles whether the evening addition applies.
Santa Clara sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 31 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

FAQ
Asked about Santa Clara
We have several doors to repin. Is it cheaper per door if they are all done at once?+
Yes, and that is why the figure is per cylinder rather than per house. The first cylinder carries the trip and sits at the top of $30–$47, and everything after it sits at the low end because the van is already on the driveway and the machine is already set up. Count the openings before you call, including the garage service door and the gate, because the count is the whole figure and it is usually one or two higher than people guess.

Milpitas, at any hour, every day of the year. A front door in the tracts, a gate at a complex, a garage service door, a storefront in Midtown or a car in the mall lot — that decides the work, and the work decides the figure. The figure comes back on the same call with the $89 call-out and the clock already inside it, and it is the figure on the receipt. Ninety days on the labor, in writing. The van is already on this side of the interchange.
