A gate lock has a harder life than almost any other lock on a property. It sits outdoors, takes sun, sprinkler overspray and dust, gets slammed by delivery drivers and kids, and is often a different brand from the gate it was bolted onto. In Burbank that wear shows up everywhere: side-yard gates on 1950s ranch tracts, long driveway gates in the Rancho District, and rolling or swinging gates around commercial lots in the Media District.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar has seen most of the ways a gate latch can fail. Latches that no longer catch, cylinders that spin without retracting, keypads that stop responding, strike plates knocked out of alignment, and padlocks welded shut by corrosion are all routine work for us. We are fully mobile, so we do the repair at the gate itself rather than asking you to bring anything anywhere.

The goal is not simply to swap parts. A gate that will not latch is often a hinge, post or alignment problem, and a new lock on a sagging gate will fail again. We look at the whole closing action, tell you plainly what is wrong, and fix the lock in a way that suits how the gate is actually used, whether that is a family coming and going daily or a stable gate opened only a few times a week.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what type of gate it is (wood, wrought iron, aluminum, chain link, or a sliding or swinging driveway gate), what the lock does or does not do, and whether it is a mechanical, keypad or smart lock. That helps us bring the right hardware.

  2. 2

    On-site inspection

    We come to the property and check the lock, latch, strike, hinges and gate posts. Many gate lock complaints come from a gate that has dropped or shifted, so we test how it swings and meets the latch before deciding on a repair.

  3. 3

    Repair or replace, explained plainly

    If the existing lock can be cleaned, adjusted, rekeyed or re-aligned, we say so. If it is corroded, worn out or not suited to the gate, we explain the replacement options and why one fits better, before any work begins.

  4. 4

    Install and align

    We fit the new or repaired hardware, set the strike and latch so the gate closes without slamming or lifting, and for keypad or smart locks we set up codes or settings and make sure the unit is properly weather-protected.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over

    We operate the gate repeatedly, check every key or code, and show you how to use and maintain the lock. You leave with working keys or codes and a clear idea of what to watch for.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock involved: a basic latch and padlock hasp, a heavy-duty gate lock, a keypad lock or a smart lock all differ in hardware cost and setup time.
  • Condition of the gate itself: if hinges, posts or the latch alignment need correcting for the lock to work, that adds labor beyond the lock.
  • Gate material and design, since welding-adjacent metal, wrought iron, aluminum and wood each need different mounting and drilling methods.
  • How many locks, padlocks or gates are involved, and whether keys should be matched across them, as on a property with a driveway gate, side gate and outbuildings.
  • Weather and corrosion rating needed, because coastal-style moisture, sprinklers and direct sun call for more durable hardware.
  • Time of day. Because we are available 24/7, after-hours or urgent calls are scheduled differently from planned daytime work.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your gate, with no storefront trip and no need to remove the gate or bring parts to us.
  • Experience since 1987 means we recognize older gate hardware and know which replacements hold up outdoors.
  • We diagnose the whole closing action, not only the lock, so you are not paying to replace a lock when the real problem is a sagging gate.
  • We handle mechanical, keypad and smart gate locks, and can match keys across padlocks and gate locks on the same property.
  • We tell you when a repair is enough and do not push replacement when adjustment or rekeying will do.
  • Available 24/7, including when a gate that will not lock leaves a property exposed overnight.

Gate Lock Repair across Burbank

Burbank's gates vary as much as its neighborhoods. In the Rancho District, the equestrian area of gated horse properties, driveway gates are long, heavily used and exposed to dust, moisture and animals. Tack rooms, barns and stables add padlocks and hasps that corrode quickly. A typical call is replacing a worn driveway gate lock and swapping rusted tack-room padlocks for weather-resistant ones, with keys matched so the owner is not carrying a ring of different keys.

In Magnolia Park, with its 1920s to 1940s Spanish and California bungalows, side-yard and front-walk gates are often paired with original mortise and skeleton-key hardware on the house. We can repair the gate latch and, where wanted, coordinate the gate lock with the home's other locks without disturbing the vintage character of the property. Around the Media District and the commercial strips near Olive Ave and Hollywood Way, we see aluminum and steel gates at production offices and service lots, where access changes after crew turnover and keys or codes need to be reset.

We serve Burbank ZIP codes including 91501, 91502, 91504, 91505 and 91506, and the surrounding area from I-5 and SR-134 to San Fernando Blvd, Victory Blvd and Magnolia Blvd. Whether you are near Hollywood Burbank Airport, Downtown Burbank or the studio districts, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Burbank — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Burbank at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the gate, and we will arrange to come to your Burbank property.
Can you fix a gate that will not latch, or do I need a new lock?
Often the lock is fine and the gate has dropped, a hinge has loosened or the strike is out of alignment. We check the whole closing action first and tell you whether adjustment, repair or replacement makes sense.
Do you work on Rancho District horse property gates and tack rooms?
Yes. We replace worn driveway gate locks, install corrosion-resistant padlocks and hasps for barns, stables and tack rooms, and can match keys so one key works across several locks. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your setup.
Can you install a keypad or smart lock on my gate?
Yes, in most cases. We install keypad and smart gate locks, set up codes, and make sure the unit is mounted and weather-protected. We will confirm the lock suits your gate type and how it is used.
How is gate lock repair priced?
It depends on the lock type, the condition and material of the gate, how many locks are involved and the time of day. We explain the work and what drives the cost before we begin. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk through your situation.
My padlock is rusted shut. Can you open it?
Usually yes. We can open a corroded padlock and replace it with a more weather-resistant one. Because moisture is usually the cause, we also check the hasp or latch it was attached to.
Can you rekey a gate lock after tenants or crew change?
Yes. We can rekey or replace gate locks so old keys stop working, and set new codes on keypad locks. This is common for offices and production spaces in the Media District.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We do the work at your gate anywhere in Burbank.
