Availability
Hillsborough is houses only, large ones on large lots, and the calls are shaped by that. A driveway gate on an operator with a manual release nobody can find, a pedestrian gate that closed behind the dog walker, a household with a housekeeper and a gardener and more keys out than anyone has counted. Lockouts are $112 to $195, a rekey of every cylinder on the property is $24 to $40 each, and a safe in the study is opened at $179 to $499 with the door intact in most cases. A smart lock on the door staff use is $172 to $445. Arrival is about twenty-eight minutes, up Crystal Springs Rd from El Camino Real or down from the Highway 92 ramps for the streets nearer the reservoir, and the driveway decides the last part.
Give the gate code or say you will meet the technician at the gate, and say how far the house is from the street. If the request concerns a lock on a gate rather than the house, say whether it is the operator, the pedestrian latch or both.
Hillsborough sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 28 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

FAQ
Asked about Hillsborough
The pedestrian gate closed behind me and the house is sixty feet back. Where does the technician start?+
At the gate, because nothing else can be reached until it opens. A keyed gate latch is picked or bypassed like any other lock, and it is part of the $112 to $195 lockout rather than a separate line. If the front door then turns out to be bolted from inside, the side or kitchen door is the next one tried, and the figure does not move.
A safe came with the house and no one has the combination. Can it be opened without cutting it?+
Usually. Dial safes of the kind left in a study are manipulated open, and most are back in service the same afternoon with a combination you choose. That is $179 to $499 depending on the lock and the make. Where a relocker has already fired, the technician explains what drilling would involve and what it would cost before anything is started.
