A gate lock has a harder life than a front door lock. It sits outdoors all year, takes sun, dust, irrigation overspray and the occasional bump from a trash bin or a car, and it is used by everyone from the family to the gardener. In Granada Hills, where so many homes have side-yard gates, pool gates, driveway gates and foothill entries, a latch that sticks or a lock that no longer catches is a common reason people call us.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to. We bring the tools and a range of parts to your property, look at the actual gate in front of us, and fix what is wrong. Sometimes that means cleaning, adjusting and lubricating a lock that has gummed up. Sometimes it means replacing a worn latch, rekeying a gate lock after a key has gone missing, or installing a keypad or smart lock where a plain padlock hasp used to be.

We are available 24/7, which matters for gates more than people expect. A gate that will not latch overnight can leave a yard, a pool or a pet exposed, and a gate that will not open can trap a car in a driveway. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what you are seeing before we ever head out.

How it works in Granada Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us what the gate is doing

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the symptoms: key will not turn, latch does not catch, keypad is dead, or the gate sags and drags. We ask about the gate material, whether it swings or slides, and whether it is a pedestrian gate or a driveway gate, so we arrive with suitable parts.

  2. 2

    Inspect the lock, latch and gate alignment

    Many gate lock problems are really alignment problems. A post that has shifted or hinges that have dropped can make a good lock look broken. We check the latch, strike, hinges and the lock body itself before deciding what to repair.

  3. 3

    Clean, adjust or repair first when it makes sense

    Dust and grit are hard on outdoor hardware, especially in the foothills. If a lock can be cleaned, adjusted and properly lubricated to work reliably, we say so rather than sell a replacement you do not need.

  4. 4

    Replace or upgrade when repair is not enough

    If the latch is corroded, the cylinder is worn out or the hardware is not suited to the gate, we explain the options: a heavier-duty latch, a weather-rated keypad lock, or a smart lock. We install it and confirm it lines up and closes cleanly.

  5. 5

    Rekey and set up access

    If keys have been lost or too many people have copies, we can rekey the gate lock so old keys stop working. For keypad or smart locks, we help set codes and show you how to change them.

  6. 6

    Test before we leave

    We operate the gate repeatedly from both sides, check the latch with the gate swinging naturally, and make sure the key or code works every time before we call the job done.

What affects the price

  • The type of gate: a simple pedestrian side gate is a different job from a heavy driveway gate or a sliding gate.
  • Whether the existing lock can be repaired or the latch and lock body need to be replaced.
  • The hardware chosen: basic keyed latches, weather-rated keypad locks and smart locks vary widely in cost.
  • Gate condition and alignment, including sagging hinges or shifted posts that must be addressed for the lock to work.
  • Gate material, such as wood, wrought iron, aluminum or tubular steel, which affects mounting and parts needed.
  • Whether you need rekeying, multiple gates keyed alike, or after-hours service.

Why Granada Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we work on your gate where it stands, so there is no need to bring anything to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so experience with outdoor hardware is built in.
  • We look at alignment and wear first and will tell you when a repair is enough instead of pushing a full replacement.
  • We handle the whole range, from old latch-and-padlock setups to keypad and smart gate locks.
  • Available 24/7 for the situations that cannot wait, like a gate that will not secure overnight.
  • We can key gates to match your house locks so you carry fewer keys.

Gate Lock Repair across Granada Hills

Granada Hills is a community of long driveways, side-yard gates and hillside lots, and gate hardware gets used hard here. In Old Granada Hills around Chatsworth St, many 1950s and 60s ranch homes still have the original side-yard gate latches, and decades of sun and irrigation have left them stiff, rusted or loose. A common job there is replacing a worn latch and rekeying the gate to match the rest of the house, especially after a home changes hands.

Up toward the north edge of the neighborhood, near O'Melveny Park and the Bee Canyon and Bull Creek area, foothill homes and equestrian-style lots often have longer driveway gates and more exposure to wind, heat and Santa Ana dust. Dust can get into latches and keypads and make them stick, and heat can warp wood gates enough to throw off the latch alignment. We check both the lock and the gate itself, since one often causes the other.

In Balboa Highlands, the Joseph Eichler tract, owners tend to care about keeping a mid-century look, so we pay attention to hardware that suits the home rather than something bulky. Whether you are in ZIP code 91344 near Balboa Blvd and Devonshire St, or in 91394 closer to the freeway corridors, and whether you are in Knollwood or elsewhere in Granada Hills, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Granada Hills — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Granada Hills at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will talk through the problem and arrange service.
My gate latch sticks in hot, dusty weather. Can it be fixed?
Often, yes. Dust, heat and a slightly shifted gate can all cause sticking, which is common in the Granada Hills foothills. We clean and adjust the latch, check alignment, and replace it only if it is worn out.
Can you install a keypad or smart lock on my gate?
Yes. We install keypad and smart gate locks and can recommend weather-rated models suited to your gate material and how it swings or slides. We help you set up codes before we leave.
Can you rekey my gate lock after a key was lost?
Yes. Rekeying makes old keys stop working without always requiring a whole new lock. We can also key the gate to match your house locks. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss it.
Do you work on driveway gates as well as side gates?
We repair and install locks and latches on pedestrian, side, pool and driveway gates. For gates with motorized operators, we focus on the lock and latch hardware and will tell you if the problem lies elsewhere.
Is the problem my lock or my gate?
It can be either. A sagging gate or shifted post can stop a good latch from catching. We inspect both and fix the real cause so the repair lasts.
Do I need to bring the lock to a shop?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront to visit. We come to your property in Granada Hills and work on the gate in place.
How is the cost of gate lock repair determined?
It depends on the gate type and material, whether the lock can be repaired or must be replaced, the hardware you choose, and whether alignment work or rekeying is needed. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the gate so we can explain what applies.
