Emergency detailsWhat we see in City Heights
City Heights is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in San Diego, with apartment buildings from the 1960s through the 1980s lining the side streets, older single-family homes on the blocks in between, and a lot of families sharing space. Lockouts, rekeys when a tenant or roommate moves, mailbox locks and sliding door locks are daily calls. Many older doors here still rely on a keyed knob alone, and adding a Grade 1 deadbolt with a reinforced strike is the upgrade we recommend most. Landlords and property managers call for turnover rekeys and entry-door hardware on the multi-unit buildings.
The commercial corridors are University Avenue, El Cajon Boulevard and Fairmount Avenue: markets, restaurants, bakeries, salons, auto shops and the businesses around the City Heights Urban Village. Rekeys after staff turnover, storefront lock repair, panic bars on rear exits and keyed roll-down gate locks are the regular jobs.
Car lockouts happen along the University Avenue strip, at the shopping centers and in the tight apartment lots. We reach City Heights via I-8 and the 15 from Ocean Beach.
