Downtown is sixteen minutes from the van on Jackson Street, and its calls come in two waves. The first is a shop that cannot open. A front door here is aluminum with a glass panel, hung in a frame that has outlasted three tenants, and the usual fault is a deadlatch that stops a hair short of its keeper because the closer has gone soft. The closer and the strike are adjusted before any part is called finished. Storefront door work is $145 to $429. A business lockout, when the only key went home in an apron, is $125 to $229. A panic bar on the back door that no longer catches is reset first, and replaced at $279 to $719 per device only when the mechanism is past adjusting. Restaurants on B Street get the second wave, near midnight, when the last cook pulls the door and hears the bolt drop with the keys inside.
Above the shops are apartments reached by a street door and a stair. The street door belongs to the building and usually carries a buzzer panel; the unit door upstairs carries a knob and a deadbolt fitted in different decades. A unit lockout is $115 to $199 and the lock is picked open, not drilled, because that door belongs to the owner and a drilled cylinder is a bill nobody agreed to. Whether the street door opens, and whether a neighbor can let the technician into the stair, is asked early on the call, since the unit door is out of reach until it does. A rekey between tenants is $24 to $39 per cylinder, and an owner turning two units off the same stair pays the $89 visit once inside a single figure. A tenant locked out at eleven and an owner locked out at noon get the same figure and the same proof asked at the door.
The BART garage, the city lots and the curb on B Street hold the cars. A car lockout is $95 to $185, and the level and the nearest stair are given on the call so the technician walks to the right row. A fob the car has stopped hearing gets a fresh coin cell first. A replacement is programmed at $89 to $175 beside the car. The van takes the loading zone on the side street or the ground floor of the garage and the case is carried the rest of the way. Between 8pm and midnight $45 sits inside the figure, and $80 after midnight; the $89 service call is inside it at every hour.
Give the block of B Street or the cross street off Mission, and say which door it is: the shop front, the street door to the stair, or the back door onto the lot. For an apartment upstairs, give the unit number and say whether the buzzer panel is working.

Asked about Downtown & B Street
Where does the van actually stop on B Street?+
In the loading zone on the nearest cross street, in one of the city lots, or on the ground floor of the BART garage, and the case is carried the rest of the way. Nothing is added for the walk or for the parking. If the block is torn up or a street fair has it closed, say so on the call and a different approach is picked before the van leaves.
My place is above a shop and the street door is not mine. Which door gets opened?+
The street door belongs to the building, and until it opens the unit upstairs is out of reach. Say on the call whether the buzzer panel works, whether a neighbor can release the stair, and whether the shop below is still open. Both doors sit inside the one figure for a unit lockout, so the answer does not change what you pay, only how the visit is planned.
The kitchen closes near midnight. Is that too late to call about the back door?+
No. The second run of downtown calls happens after the restaurants pull their doors, and that is a normal working hour here rather than a favor. Between 8pm and midnight $45 is folded into the figure and $80 after midnight, both counted before you say yes. A back door that will not lock is made to lock the same night rather than left propped until morning.

The van is already in town, and the number comes before it moves
Hayward, San Lorenzo, Cherryland and Ashland, San Leandro, Castro Valley and Union City, 24/7, holidays included. Describe the door, hear one number with the $89 visit inside it, and the lock gets opened without damage wherever it can be. The receipt says what the call said. It runs the same way whether the lease is in your name or the deed is.
