The duplex is the building that defines this side of town. Two front doors, one shared side gate, a landlord in one half and a tenant in the other, and a back yard reached through both. A rekey when the tenant side changes hands is $25 to $41 per cylinder, and the question settled on the call is whether the gate stays on a key both halves hold. A lockout on either door is $119 to $205. The back doors here are often hollow-core slabs with a deadbolt that was never meant for an exterior door, and a replacement at $115 to $309 comes with a strike that reaches the framing. The small houses on the streets toward Marsh Rd have the same list with one door fewer.
The workshops and auto shops along Middlefield Rd and the streets behind it work behind a roll-up door with a padlock and a side door with a deadbolt, and the calls are practical. A shop that has had a door forced needs it to lock again the same day; post break-in lock repair is $159 to $419 and covers the bent bolt, the torn keeper and the strike pulled out of the jamb. A shop with employees exiting through the side door needs it to open from inside without a key, which is an exit device at $289 to $759. The corner markets and taquerias are storefront work at $149 to $459, and a business lockout at opening time is $129 to $239. Motorcycle keys, which the shops here ask about more than anywhere else in the city, are $115 to $275.
Arrival is about seventeen minutes by Middlefield Rd or Marsh Rd, a little longer when the 101 ramps at Marsh Rd are stopped. Middlefield Rd is narrow, with work trucks parked along it, so the van stops on a side street and the case walks in. Cars along the road and in the shop lots are lockouts at $99 to $189. Evening adds $50 from 8pm and overnight $85 from midnight, and the $89 service call is already inside whatever figure is settled on the call.
For a duplex, say which unit and who is authorizing the work, the owner or the tenant. For a shop, say whether the trouble is the roll-up, the side door or the office, and whether the technician can park in the yard or must find the street.

FAQ
Asked about Friendly Acres & Fair Oaks
It is a duplex and I rent one half. Can I authorize a rekey on my own door?+
On your own unit door, yes, with a lease and photo ID. The shared side gate, the yard and anything else the owner controls need the owner or the property manager to say so in a text or an email the technician can keep with the job. That gets settled on the call, not at the gate.
The side door of my shop on Middlefield Rd was forced overnight. Can it lock again today?+
Yes. Post break-in repair is $159 to $419 and covers the bent bolt, the torn keeper and the strike pulled out of the jamb, with a heavy plate and long screws reaching the framing. A split jamb is sleeved rather than replaced. Photographs of the damage go out for your insurer if you ask for them.
Does the Marsh Rd interchange slow the van down?+
Sometimes, and you hear it on the call rather than finding out later. Seventeen minutes is normal by Middlefield Rd or Marsh Rd, longer when the US-101 ramps at Marsh Rd are stopped. Middlefield Rd itself is narrow with work trucks along it, so the van parks on a side street and the case is carried in.
