Gates do a lot of work in Chatsworth. Out toward Santa Susana Pass and the horsekeeping lots, a driveway gate keeps animals in and strangers out. In the industrial district around Lassen, Prairie, and Canoga, gates and fences guard yards, loading areas, and storage. A gate lock that sticks, slips, or stops responding to a code is more than an annoyance, because the whole property may be open or sealed shut until it is fixed.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen most of the ways a gate latch can fail. Weather, dust, and daily use wear down hardware. Swinging gates sag and stop lining up with the latch. Keypads lose power or wear out. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to bring the gate to. We come to the gate, look at what is actually wrong, and fix it where it stands.

We work on residential driveway and side gates, pedestrian gates, equestrian and ranch gates, and commercial yard gates. That covers mechanical latches and padlock hasps, keyed gate locks, keypad locks, and smart gate locks. Sometimes a good cleaning and adjustment is the right answer. Other times the lock should be replaced, and we will tell you which it is.

How it works in Chatsworth

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the gate type (swing, slide, pedestrian), the material, what the lock does or fails to do, and whether it is keyed, keypad, or smart. That helps us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    On-site inspection

    We come to your property and examine the lock, latch, strike, hinges, and gate alignment. Many lock complaints are really a sagging gate or a shifted post, so we check the whole closing path, not just the lock body.

  3. 3

    Repair, rekey, or replace recommendation

    We explain the options plainly. A lock that is dirty or worn may only need cleaning, lubrication, or new internal parts. A damaged or outdated lock may be better replaced. You decide before work begins.

  4. 4

    Do the work

    We repair or install the lock, adjust the latch and strike, and set keys or codes. For keypad and smart locks, we program access codes and check how the unit is powered and protected from the weather.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the gate repeatedly, test the lock from both sides, and make sure it latches without slamming or forcing. You get working keys or codes and simple advice on upkeep.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic mechanical latch, a keyed gate lock, a keypad lock, and a smart lock involve different parts and different setup work.
  • Whether the lock can be repaired or must be replaced, and how readily the replacement hardware can be obtained for your gate.
  • The condition of the gate itself, since sagging, rust, or a bent frame may need correcting for any lock to work properly.
  • Gate material and style, such as wrought iron, wood, chain link, or a sliding gate, which affect mounting and hardware choice.
  • Power and weather needs for keypad or smart locks, including batteries, wiring, and weather-resistant housings.
  • Time of the call and how involved the job is, including the number of locks, keys, or codes to be set up.

Why Chatsworth chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a stuck or broken gate lock is handled at the property rather than needing a trip to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so experience comes with the service.
  • We check gate alignment and hinges as well as the lock, because a lock often fails for mechanical reasons elsewhere on the gate.
  • We work with both traditional locks and keypad or smart gate locks, and recommend what suits the gate and how you use it.
  • We cover residential, equestrian, and commercial gates, from a driveway gate by the hills to a yard gate in the industrial district.
  • We give a clear recommendation on repair versus replacement before the work starts.

Gate Lock Repair across Chatsworth

Chatsworth sits in the northwest corner of the San Fernando Valley, backed by the Santa Susana Mountains, and its gates reflect that mix. In the Indian Hills and Santa Susana Pass area, and on equestrian horsekeeping lots, gates face dust, heat, and daily use by people, trucks, and animals. Barn doors and tack rooms often rely on padlocks and hasps, and a driveway gate lock that fails can leave animals or equipment exposed. Hardware here needs to be sturdy and easy to handle with work gloves.

Near Stoney Point Park and the hillside streets of ZIP code 91311, heat, dust, and Santa Ana grit can seize up exterior locks and gate latches. Cleaning and re-pinning a lock can bring it back, but when corrosion or wear has gone too far, replacement is the better choice. Some of the older ranch tract homes from the 1950s through the 1970s also have original side gates and entry hardware that has simply reached the end of its life.

In the industrial and business district around Lassen, Prairie, and Canoga, in ZIP code 91311 and nearby 91313, gate locks protect yards, warehouses, and storage areas. When a lease changes or tenants move, gate locks and padlocks may need to be rekeyed or replaced so the right people have access. We serve properties near Topanga Canyon Blvd, Devonshire St, Nordhoff St, and along the Ronald Reagan Freeway, and we come to you, since we have no storefront.

Gate Lock Repair in Chatsworth — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Chatsworth at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867, describe the problem, and we will plan the visit to your gate.
Can you fix a keypad or smart gate lock?
Often, yes. We can troubleshoot power, programming, and wear, reset or change codes, and replace the unit if it cannot be reliably repaired. Call (323) 997-8867 with the make and model if you have it.
My driveway gate lock keeps sticking. Does it need replacing?
Not necessarily. Dust, grit, and heat can gum up a lock, and a sagging gate can also stop the latch from lining up. We check both and repair first when that makes sense.
Do you work on equestrian and ranch gates?
Yes. We handle driveway gates, pasture-style gates, and barn or tack-room padlocks and hasps on horsekeeping properties near Santa Susana Pass and elsewhere in Chatsworth.
Can you rekey commercial gate locks after a tenant change?
Yes. For industrial yards and warehouses, we can rekey or replace gate locks and padlocks so access matches your current tenants, and can work toward a single master key arrangement where appropriate.
What determines the cost of gate lock repair?
Mainly the lock type, whether it can be repaired or must be replaced, the condition and style of the gate, and any power or weather protection needed for keypad locks. We explain the options before starting. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your gate.
Do I need to bring my gate lock to a shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We come to your property and work on the gate in place.
Can you install a new gate lock where none exists?
Yes. We install gate locks and latches on residential and commercial gates, and will help you choose between a keyed, keypad, or smart option for how you use the gate.
