What Sunnyvale housing means for locksmith service
Eichler homes often have radiant heating pipes in the slab. The city runs its own wastewater plant near the Bay.
Afternoon breezes off the Bay are common in summer. Original locks in mid-century homes are often worn, and upgrading deadbolts is a common request. Las Palmas Park is known for its Easter Island-style sculptures.
Winter dampness can swell wood doors, so a lock that worked in summer may stick by January. Murphy Avenue is the historic downtown street.
Local rules
California licenses locksmiths through the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Ask the locksmith for identification and a written estimate before work begins. Keep any receipt that lists the work done and the parts used, in case a lock or key gives trouble later.
Many homes are Eichler or ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s. Your water bill comes from the City of Sunnyvale, sewage is handled by the city's Water Pollution Control Plant, and the City of Sunnyvale Community Development Department issues building permits. The Heritage Park Museum keeps an apricot orchard from the city's farm years.

Can I change the locks if I rent?
Check your lease and local rules first. Many landlords require notice and a copy of the new key. If you change them without permission, you may break the lease, and the landlord may be locked out during an emergency.
