Locksmith in Los Altos, CA.

Here is how One & Only Locksmith handles locksmith calls in Los Altos.

Los Altos is a residential city on the western edge of Silicon Valley, bordered by Los Altos Hills, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Cupertino. Its downtown is a small triangle along Main and State streets bounded by Foothill Expressway, San Antonio Road and Edith Avenue, and the city confines commercial uses to that village plus small shopping and office parks along Foothill Expressway and El Camino Real. Formerly orchard land, it is a bedroom community with a one-quarter-acre minimum lot size for most housing and few sidewalks outside commercial zones; Adobe, Permanente and Stevens creeks cross it. I-280, CA-85, Foothill Expressway and El Camino Real provide access.

We are a mobile service: a technician comes to your address in Los Altos for home, business, vehicle and emergency lock and key work. The dispatch line, (888) 492-0666, is answered around the clock. The dispatcher confirms the address and the problem and gives you an ETA before anyone is sent.

Corridors: Main Street and State Street (downtown triangle). If you are on one of these, tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street; curb access and parking can be tight, and that affects where the technician can stop.

Reference points: Downtown Los Altos village, Rancho Shopping Center (Foothill Expressway at Springer Road), Redwood Grove Nature Preserve and Civic Center apricot orchard. Naming the closest one helps when a street address is new or unnumbered.

Housing stock: Single-family homes on large lots (one-quarter-acre minimum for most residential zoning), built on former orchard land, with few sidewalks or street lights outside commercial zones.

Commercial districts: Downtown triangle (Main and State streets), Shopping and office parks along Foothill Expressway and El Camino Real frontage. For storefront and office calls, have the business name and suite number ready and tell the dispatcher whether there is a loading dock, lobby desk or after-hours entrance.

Getting to you: I-280 to the southwest and CA-85 to the east are the nearest freeways; Foothill Expressway, built on the former rail right-of-way in 1965, and El Camino Real are the main arterials, and the downtown triangle is laid out so through traffic bypasses Main Street.

ZIP codes served in Los Altos: 94022, 94023, 94024.
