Magnolia Ave is a short street of wood-fronted buildings from the 1900s with a restaurant or a shop on the ground floor and a door that has been rehung more times than replaced. Storefront work is $155 to $469 and the usual line is a deadlatch that no longer catches in a frame that has moved. A business lockout at opening, before the first table, is $135 to $249. The houses on the streets behind the avenue are the same age, with a mortise set on the front door and a side gate onto a narrow drive, and a rekey there is $26 to $43 per cylinder.
The ferry lot is the largest single source of car calls south of the city. The last boat comes in after ten and the car with the key inside is the only one under the lights. A car lockout is $99 to $195, a fob that has gone quiet is $105 to $199 to program a replacement after a coin cell has been tried, and a key that went into the bay from the deck is a replacement at $149 to $409 cut and paired beside the car. The row and the nearest light pole are asked for on the call, and the van comes in by the terminal road.
Greenbrae climbs the hill above Sir Francis Drake Blvd in streets that turn back on themselves, with houses on two or three levels, a deck door that latches behind someone with a plate, and a garage below the house. Lockouts there are $125 to $215 and the deck door is the usual one. The medical suites around Marin General bring a suite lockout at $135 to $249 and exit devices at $299 to $779 per device. Arrival is about twenty-one minutes by way of 101 and Sir Francis Drake Blvd, and the $89 service call is inside every figure named on the call.
Say whether the address is on Magnolia Ave, in the ferry lot, up the hill in Greenbrae or near the hospital. For the ferry lot, give the row and the nearest light pole. For Greenbrae, give a cross street and say which level the trouble door is on.
FAQ
What people ask about Larkspur
The last ferry is in and my keys are locked in the car. How does the technician find me?+
By the row and the nearest light pole, which is why both are asked for on the call. The lot empties quickly after the last boat, so a car still under the lights is easy to reach, and the van comes in by the terminal road. A lockout there is priced exactly as one on a driveway in town.
The fob for my commuter car has gone quiet. Is a new one always needed?+
No. A coin cell is tried first, and about half the time that is the whole job. Where the fob itself has failed, a replacement is paired beside the car and the old one is left set up as a spare if it can still be read. Say the make, the year and whether the car starts with a button.
The Greenbrae house is on three levels with a deck door at the back. Which level should I give?+
The one the trouble door is on, with a cross street beside it. The streets above Sir Francis Drake Blvd turn back on themselves, and a house that reads as a single story from the road often has two more below it. The deck door is the usual lockout here, because it latches behind whoever carried the plates out.
