Hayward Highlands and Fairway Park locksmith visits on the hill above the campus, where the first lock on the property is a side gate on a slope
The streets climbing above Cal State East Bay and the blocks of Fairway Park below them: larger houses on cut lots, side gates onto steep drives, detached garages and workshops behind the house, decks and lower doors on the downhill side, and the longest run on the map.

Thirty-one minutes is the honest figure, up Harder Road past the campus, and it is longer when the campus lets out. The estimate is said on the call rather than discovered on the road, and it does not change the price; a house on the hill and a house on Jackson Street pay the same. The trouble door up here is often not the front. It is a side gate on a keyed latch at the top of a sloped drive, which swings shut behind whoever took the bins down, leaving the front bolted and the phone inside. That is a house lockout at $115 to $199, and the gate is opened first without damage. A keyed latch on that gate, pinned to the house key, ends the repeat visits for the price of one more cylinder at $24 to $39.
These lots hold more doors than the street shows: the house, a detached garage or workshop, a lower door onto the deck, a gate on each side, sometimes a studio behind. A rekey counts all of them, and the count is what makes the figure, so it is taken on the call. Where a household has a cleaner or a dog walker with a key, a smart lock at $169 to $429 on the door they use gives each person a code that is retired when the arrangement ends, and the front door keeps its cylinder. A safe in an office or a closet is opened at $175 to $479 when the combination has gone with a previous owner or an estate.
Two things about this hill are practical. The houses step down their lots, so the door a technician needs may be a flight below the street, and saying so on the call saves the walk being made twice. And the streets curve, the numbers jump, and at night a light at the top of the drive is worth more than any description. Where a door has been forced, the repair is $155 to $399 and covers the jamb, the strike and the cylinder, with the work described in plain words on the receipt for an insurer. Calls are answered 24/7, with $45 inside the figure between 8pm and midnight and $80 after.
Say whether the technician can reach the door from the street or has to come through a gate or down a flight, and whether the gate is on a key, a code or a driveway operator. Give a cross street; the numbers on the curved blocks are not in the order the map suggests.

FAQ
Asked about Hayward Highlands & Fairway Park
Thirty-one minutes is the longest run on your map. Does the hill cost extra?+
No. Distance, grade and the walk up a drive are not billed, on this hill or anywhere else on the map. What the hill does change is the estimate, and thirty-one is said plainly on the call rather than dressed up as something shorter. If the campus is letting out on Harder Road, that goes into the number you are given too.
The door we need is a flight below the street. Does that matter?+
It matters to the plan, not to the price. Houses up here step down their lots, so the working door can be on a deck below the pavement behind a gate that only opens from inside. Saying so on the call means the technician arrives with the right approach instead of walking the property twice looking for a way down.
The side gate keeps shutting us out. Can it go on the house key?+
Yes, and it is the cheapest end to a repeating problem here. A keyed gate latch pinned to the same key as the front door is one more cylinder at $24 to $39, added to whatever visit is already booked. After that the gate stops being the reason for a call, which for a hillside lot with the bins at the bottom is most of them.
