Sixteen jobs we run across the valley, each with a published range

$129 to $239. Garage service doors, the narrow door beside the garage opening, front doors at the top of the outside steps, side gates and patio sliders, opened without damage and with a key cut at the curb before anyone drives off. The $89 call-out is inside the figure and the hour is said on the phone.

$105 to $199. Keys shut in the car at the curb outside the house, in a BART lot at Daly City or Colma, or out in the open at Westlake or Serramonte. Air wedge and reach tool, and nothing left marked on the paint or the weather seal.

$139 to $259. A shop on Mission Street, a unit in one of the centers, a stockroom or a yard office out at Bayshore, opened once a lease, a badge or the property manager settles who you are. Between midnight and 7am the figure carries $90, said before you agree to it.

$169 to $449. A split jamb rebuilt through to the stud, a long strike reaching framing instead of trim, a fresh cylinder and a bolt that meets the frame again. One visit, with the parts listed separately for an insurer.

$29 to $46 per cylinder. The lock stays on the door and takes new pins, which kills every key handed out before today. Front door, garage service door and pedestrian door on one key is the usual order here. Cylinders after the first cost less, because the drive only happened once.

$125 to $329. Deadbolts, knob sets and levers, including a first proper deadbolt on a lower door that has only ever had a latch button. Where the ocean has already been through the old one, the grade and the finish of the replacement are named before it goes on.

$189 to $479. A keypad or app lock fitted to the door the household actually uses, which on these streets means the one at the bottom rather than the one at the top of the steps. Codes you choose and enter twice while the technician is standing there, and the override key cut at the van the same day.

$199 to $539. A safe opened where it stands, by manipulation wherever the lock allows it, whether the combination is lost or the bolts have jammed, then set to a number you pick and keep somewhere else.

Quoted after the doors have been counted. One key sitting above a key for each door, for an owner holding a row of units or a manager with a corridor of them. Nobody prices this over the phone, because a building that has not been walked cannot be priced honestly.

$299 to $779 per door. Push bars and exit devices for shops, kitchens and back-of-house doors, fitted, rebuilt or brought back into line so the latch lands square instead of scraping past the keeper.

Quoted after the doors have been counted. Keypads, readers, electric strikes and credentials for units and small offices, with a mechanical override cylinder left working on every leaf so a flat battery is never the end of the story.

$159 to $469. Aluminum glass doors on Mission Street and in the centers: hookbolts that no longer throw, deadlatches worn shallow, tired cylinders, and closers dragging a door out of square on a frame that has moved with the slope.

$155 to $419. Blade or proximity key cut and coded against the car where it is parked, with a spare made in the same session even when the last key is gone. License, registration and plate are read against each other before the machine is switched on.

$95 to $199. A remote or proximity fob paired without the car going anywhere, and the old one either kept as a spare or dropped from the vehicle memory, whichever you want.

$185 to $459. A cylinder that will not turn, or turns and leaves the dash dead, rebuilt or swapped at the curb and pinned to the door key you already carry wherever the make allows it.

$125 to $289. Bikes and scooters, the blade cut to the lock code and the chip coded where the machine is parked.
