Sunol: a small village and the ranch parcels around it, where a property can have more gates than doors
The village south of the city and the country parcels along the creek: a short main street, older houses on deep lots, barns and outbuildings, long driveways behind field gates, and roads with almost no lighting on them. Twenty-four minutes.

Out here the count is the first thing worth establishing, because the openings usually outnumber the rooms anybody uses: a front entry, a back door onto the yard, a barn or shop, a second outbuilding, a field gate at the road and another at the end of the lot, all keyed by different owners across a long stretch of years. Repinning is $34–$52 per cylinder with everything after the first at the low end, which is the sensible way to price a property like that. Outdoor cylinders and padlocks on gates and barns more often need replacing than pinning, at $132–$352, because weather finishes them from the inside. A house lockout is $134–$255 with the $89 call-out inside the figure, and a safe left behind by an earlier owner opens at $216–$570. Twenty-four minutes is the real run, most of it approach road rather than traffic, and it is quoted before you agree to wait. After dark, say what marks the driveway, because numbers out here cannot be read from a moving van.
Count the gates and outbuildings before calling, since that count sets a repin more than the house does. Say what marks the driveway or the field gate from the road and whether there is any light on it. If a gate crosses the drive, say whether it opens and who can open it now. For a safe, say dial or keypad and whether it stands free, in a wall or in a slab.
Sunol sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 24 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

FAQ
Asked about Sunol
Do you drive out here at two in the morning?+
Yes, at any hour, and the number that matters gets said first: twenty-four minutes to these roads, with $94 added for an arrival between midnight and seven in the morning and the $89 call-out already inside the figure. A house lockout works out at $134–$255 all in, quoted as one total before the van sets off. If you are waiting outdoors at that hour, wait somewhere lit and say where you will be standing, because driveways out here are hard to pick out after dark.
Open 24 hours, 7 days
Name the door, and say how long since anyone used it
Pleasanton, whatever the hour, every day of the year. An entry in the tracts, a seized gate latch on a hill street, a pool gate, a safe left behind by the last owners, a shop door on Main, a car sitting in the Stoneridge lot — that is what decides the work, and the work decides the figure. You get that figure on this call with the $89 drive and the clock already inside it, and it is the figure on the invoice. Ninety days on the labor, in writing. The van is a few doors off Main.
