Emeryville is a few square miles of new apartment towers, offices and shopping wedged between West Oakland and the bridge approach, and it is reached in about eighteen minutes. The towers along Christie Ave and around Bay Street came with fob-controlled lobbies and unit doors on builder cylinders, so the calls are a resident locked out with the fob inside at $105–$185, and rekeys when a lease turns over at $21–$36 per cylinder. Smart lock installs at $159–$410 are common in units used as short-term rentals, where the owner wants a code that expires with the guest.
The parking lots are the other half of the work. The IKEA lot, the Bay Street garage and the Public Market lot produce car lockouts at $89–$165 every week, and key fob programming at $94–$165 is done in the lot for commuters coming back over the bridge. The biotech and animation offices along Hollis St and Horton St call for business lockouts at $115–$215, suite rekeys and the occasional access control reader that stopped reading. Evening traffic at the I-80 and Powell St ramps can add minutes to the estimate, and that gets said on the call rather than discovered at the curb.
For a tower, give the building name and whether the tech can reach the unit floor without a fob, and for a lot give the store entrance you are nearest, since the IKEA and Bay Street lots are big.

FAQ
Asked about Emeryville
How long from Oakland into Emeryville?+
About eighteen minutes. It is a short run up I-580 or across from West Oakland, and the city is only a few square miles. The variable is the I-80 and Powell St interchange in the evening, when bridge traffic backs onto the surface streets. That is checked and folded into the window before the van is dispatched.
The car is somewhere in the IKEA lot. How do you find it?+
Give the store entrance you parked nearest and the row if you know it, plus the make and color. The Bay Street garage and the Public Market lot get the same question. A car lockout is $89 to $165. The technician texts from the lot when the van is in, so nobody spends ten minutes walking past the wrong aisles.
Can the technician reach my floor in a fob-controlled tower?+
Only if someone brings the technician up. The towers along Christie Ave and around Bay Street lock the lobby, the elevator and often the floor landing, so plan to meet the van downstairs or have a neighbor or the on-site manager come down. Say which building and whether the elevator needs a fob when the rate is set.
