Cupertino locksmith service: bigger lots on the south-west side, condominium complexes behind a rolling gate
South-west along Stevens Creek Boulevard and Homestead Road, where lots widen, two-story houses outnumber ranches, and newer condominium complexes sit behind a rolling gate with numbered visitor bays inside. Twenty-seven minutes from Moffett Park, and the drive is described as it is.

Twenty-seven minutes is the honest estimate rather than a rounded-down average. De Anza Boulevard at five in the afternoon adds to it, and so does a school emptying onto Homestead; if the run is going to be longer than that, it is said while the price is being said and not left for somebody on a porch to work out. None of it changes what the job costs. What this district does change is the hardware, because these houses were built lot by lot over four decades: thicker doors, wider stiles, handle sets rather than knobs, and whatever the owner of the day happened to like. So a call from here comes with one extra question about what is currently on the door, and a photograph sent while you are still on the phone answers it and lets the figure be settled the way it would be anywhere else.
In the condominium complexes the trouble is familiar and the ownership line is what has to be right. The entrance gate, the pedestrian gate beside it, any lobby, the mail alcove and the pool gate are association property, and the HOA or its manager orders work on them. The unit door and the remote on the visor belong to the owner or the resident. That work is $149 to $429: an operator board that has lost its schedule, a call box dialing an old number, a keypad at the pool, a lobby reader, and remotes reprogrammed so a spare clicker kept back by a seller stops opening the gate the week after closing. A unit lockout is $125 to $219 with the gate inside the figure.
On the houses the list of openings runs past what the address suggests. Rekeying is $28 to $45 per cylinder, and a large lot here means the front, the back, the laundry room door, the door in from the garage and a gate on either flank, all quoted as one figure. A lock replacement is $125 to $315 per door where repinning will not save the cylinder. A household with a cleaner, a gardener and two teenagers is handing out more keys than anyone is tracking, and a smart lock at $189 to $469 beside the parking pad ends the practice, since a code can begin on Monday and stop on Friday. Houses that have turned over up here often come with a safe left in a study or a closet and a dial nobody has the numbers for; opening one is $195 to $519 and the safe is back in use the same afternoon.
Say how the door is reached, straight off the street, up a driveway, or past a complex gate, and whether that gate is opening at all. If it is a house, a picture of the handle and the bolt is worth more than any description of them.

FAQ
Asked from Cupertino
Twenty-seven minutes is a long wait. Is there a nearer van?+
There is one van and it is based in Moffett Park, so twenty-seven minutes is the real figure rather than a rounded-down one. De Anza Boulevard at five and a school emptying onto Homestead both add to it. None of that changes the price, and if the run is going to be longer you hear the longer number, not the shorter one.
The complex gate and my front door both need attention.+
Those are two bookings with two different customers. The entrance gate, the pedestrian gate beside it, the mail alcove and the pool gate are association property, so the HOA or its manager orders work on them. The unit door and the remote on your visor are yours. Saying which is which keeps the visit from stalling at the gate.

Say which opening stopped you, hear the figure, and get through it
Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and Alviso, 24/7, holidays included. A gate, a lobby reader, a fob, a unit door, a shop front, a car or a safe: one figure comes back with the $89 visit and the hour already inside it. Your own door and your own fob are yours to arrange; a shared opening takes a word from the manager or the HOA, and that gets sorted while you are still on the phone.
