Menlo Park is twenty-five minutes by way of Middlefield Road over the creek, and the estimate on the call uses the hour on that road. Santa Cruz Avenue is a short shopping street with glass doors in wood and aluminum frames, and its calls are a shop's calls: a cylinder that has served four owners, a closer that lets the door drift short of the strike, a delivery door onto the lot that stopped catching in the rain. Storefront work is $159 to $479, and a business lockout before the first customer is $139 to $255. The lots behind the avenue and the Caltrain lot bring car lockouts at $105 to $199.
Allied Arts is 1920s houses on short streets around the Guild, with a mortise set on the front door, a side gate onto the drive and a garage at the back. A rekey is $27 to $45 per cylinder, a worn case is replaced behind the original plate at $125 to $329, and a lockout is $129 to $219, gate first and then the door. The Willows, east of Middlefield, is smaller houses on a flat grid with a door from the garage and a slider onto the yard; after a sale every cylinder goes to one key, and the slider gets a secondary lock in the same visit.
The apartment buildings along El Camino are managed, and a rekey between tenants is booked by the manager at $27 to $45 per cylinder with the written line for the file. A safe in a home office is opened at $195 to $539. Evening calls carry $55 between 8pm and midnight and $90 overnight, inside the figure said on the call, with the $89 service call already in it.
Say whether the address is on Santa Cruz Avenue, in Allied Arts, in the Willows or along El Camino, and give a cross street. Several street names continue across the creek from Palo Alto, and the town name on the call saves a wrong turn.

FAQ
Asked about Menlo Park
Twenty-five minutes across the creek. What makes it that long?+
One road over the creek carries most of the traffic, and after it come the lights on Santa Cruz Avenue and Middlefield Road. Twenty-five minutes is what the drive really takes on a normal afternoon, and that is the number said on the call. The work itself is charged at the same figures as any Palo Alto street.
Several street names run on both sides of the creek. Does that cause trouble?+
It does, so give the town as well as the street. A block number that exists in both cities has sent vans the wrong way for years. Add the cross street, and in the Willows say whether you are east or west of Middlefield Road, because that grid repeats itself street after street.
My car is in the Caltrain lot and I am still on a train. What can be arranged?+
The work happens at the car, so somebody has to meet it with identification. If you are still on the train, book the window for the time you land rather than for now; the figure said on the call holds until the technician is standing at the car. Say which end of the lot and what the car is.
