Downtown is fourteen minutes from wherever the van tends to be, and the calls arrive in layers, the way the buildings do. Street level on Broadway and Main St is restaurants and shops behind aluminum-framed glass, with a few older wood doors set into brick. The fault that comes up most is a door that has to be pulled hard toward you before the key will turn, which is a closer and a sagging hinge rather than a failed lock. Storefront work is $149 to $459 and usually keeps the existing lock body. A business lockout, the kind that happens when the opening cook has the only key and the owner is on the 101, is $129 to $239. Restaurants with a rear door onto the alley ask about an exit device that latches on its own, at $289 to $759 per device.
Above the shops and in the newer blocks around Courthouse Square are apartments, and their doors behave like apartment doors anywhere: a builder deadbolt, a lever, a lobby on a buzzer panel, a mailbox bank. A unit lockout is $119 to $205 and the first thing to settle is whether the technician can reach your door or has to be buzzed through. A rekey when a roommate leaves or a lease ends is $25 to $41 per cylinder, with a written line for the landlord if the lease wants one. The older walk-ups off Broadway have narrow stairs and a street door on a night latch that has been locking people out since before the courthouse dome was restored.
The Fox Theatre lets out around half past ten, and the Jefferson and Marshall garages are where the evening car lockouts happen. A key on the passenger seat on level three is $99 to $189 with $50 added between 8pm and midnight, and the technician needs the garage name, the level and the nearest stair before anything else, since the levels look alike. The Caltrain lot at Sequoia Station adds daytime lockouts and fobs that died on the ride home; fob programming is $99 to $185 at the car. The van stops in a loading zone on Broadway or at the garage entrance and the case is carried in. The figure is settled on the call, with the $89 service call already inside it.
Give the building name or the shop under your flat, and say whether the trouble is the street door, the unit door or the door onto the roof deck. In a garage, name the garage, the level and the stair core letter, and stand by the car rather than at the entrance.

FAQ
Asked about Downtown & Courthouse Square
The street door to my building on Broadway locks separately from my flat. Which one does the technician need?+
Both, in order. Say on the call whether someone can buzz the van in or whether the street door is itself the lock that has failed. A night latch on an old walk-up door is worked at storefront rates; the unit door above it is a house lockout at $119 to $205. If nobody can let the van through, the visit starts at the street.
Where does the van stop downtown, and does parking add anything to the figure?+
It adds nothing. The van uses a loading zone on Broadway or Main St, or the entrance of the Jefferson or Marshall garage, and the case is carried from there. Parking, garage fees and the walk are ours to deal with, not yours. Give the garage, the level and the nearest stair core so the walk is short.
Our shop opens at seven and the only key is in another town. How early can someone come?+
Any hour, including before dawn. A business lockout downtown is $129 to $239, and between midnight and 7am the overnight $85 is counted inside that figure rather than added at the door. Have a lease, a business license or a note from the property manager ready. Most shop doors here are aluminum with a deadlatch and open without damage.
