Hillside homes around Solano Avenue and Indian Rock

Split-level and hillside houses often have an entrance on each floor, and the less-used one is usually the weak spot: a basic knob lock on a door hidden from the street. Adding a deadbolt there, and keying it to match the front door, closes the gap without making you carry more keys.

Rock outcrops and steep lots also mean a lot of gates. Gate locks weather quickly in the fog and winter rain. A locksmith can swap a corroded cylinder or fit a weather-resistant lock so the gate keeps working year round.

Solano Avenue's shops at the top of the hill are a short walk from many 94707 homes, but a lockout on a steep street at night is no fun. Keep a spare with a neighbour you trust, and keep the dispatcher's number saved in your phone.
