Redwood Shores was built in a few waves between the 1980s and the 2000s, and each wave used the same hardware on every door. A condo has a front door with a deadbolt and a lever in the finish the HOA chose, a door from the garage stairwell that locks behind you, and a patio slider. The lockout that repeats is the stairwell door: someone goes down to the car for a bag, the fire door latches, and the unit is bolted. That is $119 to $205 and it opens without damage nearly every time. Townhomes add a garage-to-house door and a small courtyard gate. A rekey when a tenant or a roommate leaves is $25 to $41 per cylinder, and the mailbox cam in the lobby bank goes on the same visit.
The HOA is a real party to the work here, and the technician treats it as one. Most associations govern the finish and style of anything visible from the corridor, and several require a request before a smart lock goes on. The cylinder inside the lock is yours to rekey; the lock on the outside may not be yours to change. Say on the call which it is. A smart lock, where the board permits one, is $175 to $449 installed, and on a fire-rated corridor door the technician checks that the closer and the label are left as they were. A written line addressed to the association or the management company is part of the receipt whenever you ask for it.
The campuses on the lagoon call about override cylinders, server rooms and exit devices, at $289 to $759 per device, with access control quoted after a walk-through. The garages under the residential buildings supply the car work: a lockout at $99 to $189 begins with the resident meeting the technician at the pedestrian door, since the gate wants a fob the technician does not have. Arrival is about twenty-two minutes, and it is honest to say why it is not twelve: the whole district hangs off US-101 on two interchanges, Redwood Shores Pkwy and Marine Pkwy, and whichever of them is moving at that hour decides the estimate. Evening adds $50 from 8pm and overnight $85 from midnight, both stated inside the figure on the call.
Say whether the address is a condo or a townhome, which door is the trouble, and whether the technician can reach it from the street or needs to be let through the lobby or the garage gate. If the HOA has a hardware rule, say so, and the technician brings the finish that matches.

FAQ
Asked about Redwood Shores
The Shores looks close on the map. Why is arrival twenty-two minutes?+
Because the district meets US-101 at two interchanges and nowhere else, Redwood Shores Pkwy and Marine Pkwy, and both feed the same few streets around the lagoon. Whichever one is moving at that minute sets the window in your text. It is an honest twenty-two rather than an optimistic twelve, and the figure does not move when the traffic does.
The stairwell door from the garage shut behind me and my keys are upstairs. Is that a house lockout?+
Yes, at $119 to $205, and it is the call this district makes most. The fire door off the garage stairs has no outside handle and no cylinder, so the work happens at your unit door instead. Meet the van at the pedestrian entrance, since the vehicle gate wants a resident fob that the technician does not carry.
Our corridor doors are fire rated and have closers. Does new hardware affect that?+
It must not, and the technician checks before quoting. A fire-rated door keeps its label, its closer and its self-latching action, so replacement hardware is rated and sized to match rather than chosen for looks. Nothing that props the door open is fitted. Send the association hardware schedule and the quote follows it line for line.
