Sunnyvale: the city directly north, where apartment doors and 1950s house doors sit a block apart

The city over the northern boundary, reached in a few minutes along Homestead Road: postwar tracts on one side of a street and newer apartment and condominium blocks on the other, with a downtown of its own further north. Fifteen minutes from the van.

Orchard Gate serving Sunnyvale

Two different jobs live within a block of each other here. The houses are the same postwar stock as northern Cupertino, with the same narrow bores and the same settled leaves, so a lock ordered online arrives and does not fit, and the door is corrected before it goes on at $199 to $495 for the two jobs together. The apartment and condominium doors are a different exercise: a lockout at your own unit door is $135 to $245 and it is opened rather than drilled, identification is asked for at the door, and the entry door to a shared lobby or stair is not something a resident can have changed, so that request has to come from the building. Repinning between residents is $29 to $47 a cylinder. Fifteen minutes covers most of the city and the same list applies across the boundary without adjustment.

Say whether it is a house, an apartment or a condominium, and whether the door that stopped you is your own or one the building shares. If there is a lobby door or a call box between the sidewalk and your door, say whether it currently works.

Sunnyvale sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 15 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

FAQ

Asked about Sunnyvale

The lobby door has a call box and it does not answer. Can you still reach my apartment door?+

Yes, once somebody can let the technician into the building. Mention the call box on the call rather than at the door, so the problem is dealt with while you are still on the phone. Your own unit door is picked open once it can be reached; the shared lobby door is the building's to fix.

Open 24 hours, 7 days

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.
