Local notes

Flats and foothills

Below the 580, Eastmont and Seminary have rows of mid-century houses with front gates and attached garages. Above the freeway, Millsmont, Sequoyah and Toler Heights climb into the hills with larger lots and longer driveways.

Common jobs: deadbolts and strike plates on front doors, rekeys for new owners, and gate locks on side yards.

More notes

Campus and shopping

The Mills College campus manages its own building locks; students and staff should go through campus facilities for those.

Eastmont Town Center and the shops along MacArthur and Foothill boulevards bring car lockouts and small business calls.

In the upper hills, a long drive and a gate are normal. Tell dispatch about any gate code before the locksmith sets off.

Houses in the Seminary and Eastmont flats commonly have security screen doors, and many still have the original 1950s knob locks on side doors to the garage. Matching the screen-door lock to the main door, adding a deadbolt to the garage door, and fitting a reinforced strike plate covers most of what owners want. In the hills above, larger houses may have outbuildings, pool gates and workshop doors. Keep a simple list of every lock and who holds keys to it. When you hire help for the garden or the house, give them a key to only the doors they need, which a small master key system makes easy.

Getting there

Directions

MacArthur Boulevard, Foothill Boulevard and the 580 exits are the main landmarks. Hill streets curve, so give a cross street.
