Sunnyvale adds two things to the map that Santa Clara mostly lacks. The first is the Eichler: flush doors, glass walls, an atrium gate at the front and hardware that was chosen for looks in 1958. Owners want the look kept, so the work is a modern cylinder in the original trim, a strike reinforced without a visible plate, and a deadbolt bored to match the slab. Replacement is $109 to $299 per door and a rekey is $24 to $39 per cylinder. Sliding glass doors on these houses get a secondary lock rather than a new latch. The second is scale: the apartment complexes along El Camino Real run to hundreds of units, turnover is constant, and a manager with four units to rekey books them as one visit.
Downtown around Murphy Ave brings storefront and restaurant work at $145 to $449, and business lockouts at $125 to $229 when a morning shift arrives without the key. The campuses between Mathilda Ave and Moffett Park call about override cylinders, server rooms and exit devices, at $279 to $745 per device, with access control quoted per door. Cars in the Caltrain lot and the downtown garages are lockouts at $95 to $179, with a large share of proximity fobs. Arrival is about twenty-six minutes by El Camino Real or Central Expressway. The figure covering the visit, the labour and the parts is agreed on the call, and the $89 service call is inside it.
Say whether the house is an Eichler or a conventional slab, since the door thickness and the trim decide what comes off the van. For an apartment, give the complex name and the building letter. The street address alone often lands the technician at the leasing office.
FAQ
Questions that come up on calls from Sunnyvale
Can an Eichler front door take new hardware without spoiling the look?+
Yes, and that is most of the work on these houses. A modern cylinder goes into the original trim, the strike is reinforced without a visible plate, and a deadbolt is bored to the slab thickness rather than to a standard that assumes a thicker door. Replacement is $109 to $299 per door. Sliding glass walls get a secondary lock instead of a new latch.
Why twenty-six minutes for the city next door?+
Because it is an average across a large city, not a run to its border. Blocks near the line off Lawrence Expressway come in under that; Moffett Park and the far end of Mathilda Ave take longer. The route is El Camino Real or Central Expressway, and the window you are given is the one for your address, not the city figure.
The complex has several hundred units. What do you need besides the street address?+
The complex name and the building letter, then the unit. A street address on its own usually lands the van at the leasing office, which on a large El Camino Real property can be a five minute walk from your door. Say also whether a gate code or a call box stands between the street and the building.
