Sunol and the canyon road, south-west down the highway from Pleasanton — a small village of old buildings, a few shops, and ranch properties spread along the creek and up the side roads. Twenty-nine minutes from the Arroyo Road yard, at the prices used everywhere else on this site.

Nothing out here was built as a tract, and that changes the job from the first sentence: there is no attached garage with a hollow-core door into a kitchen, because these are old village houses, ranch buildings, barns and shops standing apart from each other on ground that has never been subdivided. Locks are correspondingly old — cases sunk into the edge of a door rather than a cylinder bored through the face, warded interior locks a skeleton key will open, and padlocks on hasps that have been in the sun for thirty years and seize from the inside while the key still turns freely. A cylinder full of decades of grit is cleaned and repinned at $25 to $42 and usually outlasts what would have replaced it. Where a case has split at the bolt a lock replacement is $118 to $299 per door, fitted so the building looks the same from the road. A house lockout is $129 to $225 and the whole skill on a door of this age is opening it without wrecking a lock nobody has manufactured since before the freeway was cut through the valley. A rekey out here is a long list — house, barn, shop, tack room and a gate at the head of the drive — and it goes out as a single figure with the $89 visit counted once instead of once per building. Properties that have passed down through a family often hold a safe with a dial and no numbers written anywhere; opening one is $205 to $535. On the canyon road itself the calls are automotive: a car opened on the shoulder at $109 to $205, or a key cut and coded from scratch at $165 to $409 when the only one went into the creek. Twenty-nine minutes is the estimate and the road is what makes it, which is said at the same time as the figure. Ring at any point of the twenty-four and it gets taken, with $45 in the figure from 8pm and $80 from midnight.
Give the road and a landmark rather than a number, since numbering out here is thin and buildings sit well back. Say whether the lock is in the edge of the door or through the face, and count the barn, the shop and the gate before calling so one figure covers the property.
Sunol & the canyon road sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 29 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

Asked about Sunol & the canyon road
Twenty-nine minutes out to Sunol. Is that realistic at night?+
It is the same at night as by day, because the canyon road rather than traffic is what sets it. Twenty-nine is quoted honestly and named at the same time as the figure. Nothing is added for the distance; the evening $45 and the overnight $80 are the only things that move a number out here.
Our buildings sit well back with no numbers. How do we get found?+
Give the road and a landmark rather than a number, then say which gate off it. Say too whether the lock is a case sunk into the edge of the door or a cylinder bored through the face, because that decides what the technician loads before setting off on the twenty-nine minute run.
Can a whole ranch property be done in one visit?+
That is the usual shape of it out here. House, barn, shop, tack room and a gate at the head of the drive go on one list at $25 to $42 per cylinder, quoted as a single figure with the $89 visit counted once instead of once per building. Count the outbuildings before you call.

Say which of the three doors stopped you, hear the figure, and get inside
Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville and Sunol, 24/7, holidays included. The garage and its service door, the slab between the garage and the kitchen, the front door you never open, a shop unit, a car or a safe: one figure comes back with the $89 visit and the hour counted inside it. And you do not get left standing in an open doorway, because the visit ends with a key or a code that works.
