Homes and locks in Tierrasanta

Tierrasanta was developed from 1971 on former Camp Elliott land, so the housing is consistent: two-story stucco homes and attached townhomes with HOA-managed exteriors along Tierrasanta Boulevard, Santo Road and Via Valarta, most with a front door, a garage entry door and a slider that were originally keyed alike by the builder. Rekeying them all to one new key is our most common job here. Murphy Canyon housing is managed for the Navy, so those residents call us for off-base rentals, storage and smart locks they are allowed to take with them. Townhome HOAs sometimes restrict exterior finishes, so we match hardware to what the board allows.

Getting to you in Tierrasanta

Tierrasanta is reached from I-15 at Balboa Avenue, which continues east as Tierrasanta Boulevard, or at Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, or from SR-52 at Santo Road. From downtown it is 15 to 20 minutes; from Kearny Mesa or Serra Mesa, about 10. We work Tierrasanta Boulevard, Santo Road, Via Valarta, Antigua Boulevard and the cul-de-sacs backing onto Mission Trails Regional Park, plus the Murphy Canyon streets off Santo Road. There are only a few ways in and out, so tell us your cross street and we will pick the right one.

Tierrasanta questions

We just PCS'd to Tierrasanta and bought a home. The seller gave us every key. Should we still rekey?

Yes. You can count the keys you were handed, but not the copies made over the years by contractors, cleaners, relatives and agents. A rekey after closing takes under an hour for a typical Tierrasanta home and we key every exterior door alike so you carry one key.

Can one key open every door in a Tierrasanta townhome?

Almost always. These homes were built with matching Kwikset or Schlage sets keyed alike from the factory, so the front door, garage entry and patio door share a keyway. We rekey them together to one fresh key. If a previous owner swapped in a different brand, we replace that one cylinder to match.

Our HOA controls the front door finish. Can we still install a smart lock?

Usually, yes. Keypad deadbolts from Schlage, Yale and Kwikset come in satin nickel, aged bronze and brass, and from the street they look like a standard deadbolt. We keep your existing handle set, match the finish, and can send the HOA a model photo before the install if the board wants to approve it.
