Los Altos: single-story houses on wide lots, a small downtown, and doors that were bored before the standard settled
The town to the northwest: low, wide houses on generous lots under mature trees, quiet streets with no through traffic, and a compact downtown of shops and restaurants a few blocks across. Eighteen minutes from the van.

The housing stock here sits in the same decade as the Cupertino tracts and carries the same surprise inside the door: a bore narrower than any current lock expects and a backset that does not match what a modern one ships set to. It is the reason a keypad lock ordered on a Tuesday is still in its box on the following Sunday. The bore is opened, the backset corrected, the leaf squared where it has dropped, and the lock is fitted on the same visit at $199 to $495 depending on the door. Repinning across a property, which here usually means the front, a side door, a garden gate and a detached garage, is $29 to $47 per cylinder with everything after the first at the low end. Downtown adds storefront work at $165 to $489 per opening and business lockouts at $145 to $265. Eighteen minutes, one published list, and nothing added for crossing the town line.
Say roughly when the house was built and how many outside doors and gates the property has, since the count sets the figure for repinning. Downtown, give the block and say whether it is the shop front or a rear door onto the lane.
Los Altos sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 18 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

FAQ
Asked about Los Altos
We have counted six outside doors and gates. How does a rekey get priced?+
By cylinder rather than by door, at $29 to $47 each, with the second and every one after it at the low end because the van is already on your driveway. Six openings is an hour or so of work, everything ends up on one key, and every key cut before that day stops working.

Say the year the house was built, and the rest of the call is short
Cupertino and the west valley, every hour of the day. The age of the door decides the work and the work decides the figure, so the number comes back on the call with the $89 service call and the hour already inside it, and it is the number on the receipt. Ninety days on the labor, in writing.
