Irvington is built around Five Corners, where Fremont Blvd, Washington Blvd and Bay St meet, and the streets fanning out from it were laid down well before the city merged in 1956. Housing is a mix: older single-family blocks near Irvington High, and a long run of apartment complexes along Fremont Blvd and Osgood Rd. The apartment stock drives the work. Property managers call for rekeys between tenants, mailbox locks that have been pried, and the occasional common-area door that no longer latches. A per-unit rekey is $22–$38 per cylinder, and a mailbox lock swap is a small add-on when the tech is already there.
Arrival is quick because Irvington sits close to I-880 and the middle of the grid. The one honest caveat is construction. The planned Irvington BART station off Osgood Rd means road work in that stretch will come and go, so an estimate to the east side of Fremont Blvd can pick up a few minutes. Car lockouts and dead fobs at the Auto Mall Pkwy dealerships and the shopping strips near Grimmer Blvd are steady, with a car lockout at $89–$159 and fob programming at $93–$160. Older homeowners west of Five Corners mostly want a worn 1960s lockset replaced with something that actually resists a pry bar.
Property managers should say how many units and whether the tech needs to key them alike or differently, so the right pin kits are on the van the first trip.

FAQ
Questions about Irvington
Will the BART station construction slow the drive?+
On the Osgood Rd side it can. Station work comes and goes and closes a lane at a time, so an address east of Fremont Blvd sometimes picks up a few minutes over the eighteen on this page. When that stretch is shut the van comes off I-880 instead of cutting through Five Corners.
We have twelve units. Should they be keyed alike or separately?+
Either works, and it is worth deciding before the tech arrives. Keyed alike means one key opens every unit, which suits an owner-occupied building but not one with tenants. Separate keys with a single master for you is the usual answer here, and it changes which pin kits ride out.
Is a pried mailbox lock something you fix?+
Yes, when the box belongs to the building rather than the Post Office. A private mailbox lock is a small swap, usually added as its own line while the tech is already on site for a rekey. Federal cluster boxes are postal property, and only a carrier's key opens the back of one.
