A gate lock is the one piece of hardware that gets abused by weather, delivery drivers, tenants, and your own hands every single day. In Gardena, where so many homes and apartment buildings sit behind side gates, driveway gates, and courtyard gates, a latch that sticks or a keypad that stops responding quickly becomes a real problem. It might mean a gate that will not stay shut, a lock that will not turn, or a gate that will not open when you need to leave.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar still leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. We come to your gate, look at the actual hardware, and decide whether a repair, a part replacement, or a new lock makes the most sense. We would rather fix a sound lock than sell you a new one.

Our gate work covers the usual range: swinging pedestrian gates, wrought iron and tubular steel driveway gates, wood side gates, chain-link gates, and the latches and locks that secure them. We also handle keypad locks and smart gate locks, including swapping out a worn unit, resetting codes, and replacing a faulty latch that a good electronic lock depends on.

How it works in Gardena

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of gate it is, what material it is made of, and what the lock is doing. Is it sticking, loose, jammed, keyless, or simply missing? Those details help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    We are fully mobile and available 24/7, so we meet you at the property. There is no storefront visit. Whether the gate is at a bungalow, an apartment courtyard, or a commercial lot, the work happens on site.

  3. 3

    Inspect the lock, latch, and gate itself

    Many gate lock problems are not the lock. A sagging gate, a misaligned strike, rusted hinges, or a post that has shifted can all keep a good lock from working. We check the whole closing path before deciding on a fix.

  4. 4

    Explain the options before we start

    We tell you what we found and lay out choices: repair, rekey, replace the latch, or install a new keypad or smart lock. You hear the reasoning and the price before any work begins.

  5. 5

    Repair or install and adjust

    We make the repair or install the new hardware, then align the latch and strike so the gate closes cleanly. For keypad and smart locks, we set up the codes and show you how they work.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, test it from both sides, and confirm keys or codes work. You leave with a gate that closes, latches, and opens as it should.

What affects the price

  • The type of gate and material, since steel, wrought iron, wood, and chain-link each call for different hardware and mounting methods.
  • Whether the existing lock can be repaired or rekeyed, or the whole latch and lock must be replaced.
  • The grade and style of the replacement: a basic mechanical latch costs differently than a keypad or smart gate lock.
  • Gate condition, such as sagging, rust, or misalignment, that has to be corrected for any lock to work properly.
  • The number of gates or locks at the property, which matters for apartment buildings and multi-gate lots.
  • Whether the call is during regular hours or an after-hours or emergency visit, since we are available around the clock.

Why Gardena chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring tools and common parts to your gate, so there is no need to travel or leave the property unsecured.
  • In business since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, leading the work rather than handing it off.
  • We check the gate, hinges, and strike, not just the lock, so the fix actually lasts.
  • We service both traditional mechanical gate locks and keypad or smart gate locks, so you do not need two vendors.
  • We repair when repair makes sense. If your lock is sound and only needs adjustment or rekeying, we will say so.
  • Available 24/7, including nights and weekends, when a gate that will not latch becomes a security concern.

Gate Lock Repair across Gardena

Gardena has deep farming roots, and a lot of its housing reflects the decades since. In Moneta and Strawberry Park, you find older bungalows and Craftsman cottages with side gates and fenced yards that have weathered many years, and their latches often show it. Newer 1950s and 60s stucco homes and dingbat apartments along Western Avenue, Normandie, and Vermont frequently have shared courtyard or walkway gates that see heavy tenant traffic, which wears latches and locks fast.

For property managers along the Western Avenue corridor, a gate that no longer latches is both a security issue and a tenant complaint. We can repair or replace the lock, rekey it when tenants turn over, and set up keypad hardware so you are not re-cutting keys for every move. We serve ZIP codes 90247, 90248, and 90249, and we reach homes and properties near Alondra Park, El Camino College, and the Redondo Beach Blvd and Rosecrans commercial areas.

If you manage a business near the card clubs or along Redondo Beach Boulevard, we can also look at gates and fence lines around parking areas and service yards. Wherever you are in Gardena, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Gardena — FAQs

Can you repair a gate lock in Gardena at night or on a weekend?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will discuss what your gate needs.
Do you repair keypad and smart gate locks?
Yes. We repair, replace, and install keypad and smart gate locks, and we can reset or reprogram codes. We also check the latch and gate alignment, since those often cause electronic lock problems.
My gate will not latch even though the lock seems fine. Why?
Usually the gate has sagged, a hinge has loosened, or the post has shifted so the latch and strike no longer line up. We check alignment and correct it, which often fixes the problem without replacing the lock.
Should I repair or replace my old gate lock?
It depends on its condition. If the mechanism is sound, repair or rekeying may be enough. If it is badly rusted, worn, or no longer secure, replacement is the better choice. We will give you an honest recommendation.
Can you rekey gate locks between tenants?
Yes. For apartment properties, we can rekey shared gate locks when tenants change, or install keypad locks so you can change codes instead of cutting new keys. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your building.
How is gate lock repair priced?
Price depends on the gate type and material, whether the lock can be repaired or must be replaced, the lock grade, gate condition, and the number of locks. We explain the cost before starting work.
Do I need to come to your shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We come to your property anywhere in Gardena, including the 90247, 90248, and 90249 ZIP codes.
Do you work on both residential and commercial gates?
Yes. We service residential side and driveway gates, apartment courtyard gates, and commercial gates and fence lines. For a quote, call (323) 997-8867.
