Cupertino homes, up close
Monta Vista sits close to the foothills on the west side. Rancho Rinconada is a 1950s neighborhood with many Eichler homes.
Memorial Park is the city's central park and hosts summer events. Many homes from this era still have their original knob locks, and adding a deadbolt is a simple upgrade. Apple Park, Apple's headquarters, opened in Cupertino in 2017.
Winter dampness can swell wood doors, so a lock that worked in summer may stick by January. Stevens Creek runs north from the Santa Cruz Mountains through the city.
Local rules to know
California licenses locksmiths through the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Renters should check with the landlord before changing or rekeying locks, since many leases require it. If you share a building entrance, mention it, since common doors are usually the landlord's or the association's call.
Permit questions go to the City of Cupertino Building Division. Most of Cupertino gets water from San Jose Water, and the north side is served by Cal Water. Your bill shows which one you have. De Anza College is on Stevens Creek Boulevard. Many homes sit on slab foundations.

Common questions
What should I do after a break-in?
Call the police first. Once it's safe, a locksmith can repair damaged doors or frames and rekey or replace locks.
Can a locksmith make a key without the original?
Often, yes, especially for common home locks. Car keys depend on the vehicle. For a home lock, the locksmith can often decode or impression the lock on site and cut a working key.
Which parts of Cupertino can you help with?
Our network reaches Inspiration Heights, Fairgrove, Jollyman and Oak Valley and the rest of Cupertino (95014). Tell us about a gate code, a tight driveway or a dog in the yard so the pro can plan. If nobody's available, we'll tell you.
What makes Cupertino a little different for locksmith service?
The San Andreas Fault runs through the hills west of the city. Most homes went up between the 1950s and 1970s as orchards gave way to tracts. Eichler homes often have radiant heating pipes in the slab. Share what you know about your home when you book.
Do locksmiths handle mailbox locks?
Many do. If your mailbox is in a cluster box, the post office or property manager may need to approve the change.
If you're renting in Cupertino, check your lease for who handles this repair.
