Montgomery Village was built as one idea in the 1950s, a shopping village on Farmers Lane with a neighborhood of single-story homes wrapped around it, and both halves have kept their hardware longer than most of Santa Rosa. On the houses that means original brass Schlage and Kwikset knobs and early deadbolts, worn to the point that any similar key rattles them open. The honest fix is a new deadbolt in the existing bore with a strike plate screwed into the stud, at $89–$245 per door, and a rekey of the doors that are still sound at $19–$34 per cylinder. Owners who like the original look can usually keep the knob and add the bolt above it.
The shops are the other half of the work. Boutiques and restaurants in the Village have glass doors, aluminum frames and cylinders that have been swapped by a dozen tenants over seventy years, and the result is a door that needs lifting to lock. Storefront work runs $125–$395, and a business lockout $109–$199. The Village lots and the Farmers Lane strip generate car lockouts most weekends, at $92–$159. Arrival is 18 minutes; Farmers Lane moves well outside the afternoon rush near the Hwy 12 ramps, and the Providence Santa Rosa Memorial lots a few blocks east on Montgomery Dr are covered on the same terms.
Say whether the address is a shop in the Village or a house on the streets behind it, and for shops name the nearest anchor so the tech does not walk the whole center.

FAQ
Asked in Montgomery Village
Can we keep the original 1950s knob?+
Often yes. The knob stays for the look while a new deadbolt goes in above it, with a strike screwed through into the framing, which is where the security actually lives. That runs $89–$245 per door. If the knob latch no longer catches, the tech will say whether it can be serviced or is simply finished.
How should I describe a shop address in the Village?+
Name the nearest anchor and say front door or service corridor. The centre reads as one address from Farmers Lane but runs to dozens of tenants down several lanes, and a tech walking it loses the eighteen minutes the estimate promised. Add the name on the window if the sign and the lease do not match.
Do you cover the hospital lots on Montgomery Dr?+
Yes. Providence Santa Rosa Memorial sits a few blocks east of the Village on Montgomery Dr, and its lots and garages fall inside the eighteen-minute estimate. A car lockout there is $92–$159 at any hour. Give the level and the row, since visitor and staff parking are separate and nowhere near each other.
