Twenty-four minutes is the honest number because there is one road, and the estimate on the call uses the hour on it. The condos at Loch Lomond and the Marina are the steady work. The front doors are uniform within a complex, a lever and a deadbolt in one finish, and the association usually wants a replacement to match; a rekey at $26 to $43 per cylinder changes nothing visible and needs nobody's approval. Several associations here keep an emergency key and want any rekey to keep the door on it, which is asked about on the call so the new pinning fits the rule. The dock gate is on a padlock or a keyed latch, the dock box on a cam lock, and both are done while the technician is at the unit.
The water does things to brass. Cylinders on the harbor side go stiff before the ones on the road side, and a key that needs jiggling is corroded pins more often than a worn key; cleaning and rekeying solves most of it, and where the plug is pitted a replacement at $119 to $319 goes in with a finish chosen for the air. Lockouts at $125 to $215 happen at the patio slider as often as at the front, when it closes behind someone on the deck. A cabin lock on a sailboat at the Marina is a small line in a visit already on the dock.
The houses around the golf course and above the water are larger, some behind a driveway gate on an operator, with a guest house or a detached garage and a long drive. A rekey there runs to eight cylinders, and a smart lock on the door from the drive at $185 to $469 gives a code to a gardener without a key leaving the property. China Camp and the trailheads bring car lockouts at $99 to $195 on weekend afternoons, with the row and the nearest sign asked for on the call. Evening calls carry $55 between 8pm and midnight and $90 overnight, inside the figure named on the call.
Say whether the address is a condo at Loch Lomond or the Marina, a house around the golf course, or along the water further out, and give the complex name and the building number for a condo. If the complex has a gate, say whether it is on a code, and say whether the trouble is the front door or the dock side.

FAQ
What people ask about Peacock Gap & Point San Pedro
Our association has rules about the front doors. Does a rekey need approval?+
No. Re-pinning the cylinder already on the door changes nothing anyone can see, so nobody has to approve it. A replacement does, because the finish and the style are usually written into the rules. Some associations here keep an emergency key and want the new pinning to keep the door on it; say so and it is pinned that way.
Keys near the water go stiff after a couple of years. Is that the key or the lock?+
Nearly always the lock. Salt air pits the pins and the plug long before a brass key wears out, and jiggling the key makes it worse. Cleaning and rekeying restores most of them. Where the plug is pitted through, a replacement goes in with a finish chosen for the air. Say which side of the house the door faces.
The dock gate and the dock box are on keys of their own. Can they be done at the same visit?+
Yes, and it is the sensible way. A padlock or a keyed latch at the dock gate and a cam lock on the box can be brought onto the same key as the unit door while the technician is already there, priced per cylinder. Say how many of them there are on the call, so the right pins are on the van.
