A gate lock is one of the few pieces of hardware that gets hit by weather, dust, irrigation overspray, and constant use all at once. In La Verne, that covers everything from a side-yard gate on an Old Town Craftsman to a driveway gate on a hillside property in North La Verne, to the padlocked doors and rolling gates around Brackett Field. When a latch sticks, a keypad stops responding, or a gate that used to close firmly now swings open, the fix is usually smaller than people fear, but it needs to be diagnosed on site.

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 gate hardware fails. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, so we bring tools, common latches, and lock hardware to your gate and work on it where it hangs. That matters for gates, because alignment, post movement, and the way a gate swings are often the real cause of a lock problem.

We repair existing gate locks when repair makes sense and replace them when the hardware is worn out, corroded, or no longer secure. We also install new gate locks and latches, including keypad and smart gate locks, and we can rekey a gate lock so old keys no longer work. If you aren't sure whether you need a repair or a replacement, call (323) 997-8867 and we'll talk through it.

How it works in La Verne

  1. 1

    You call and describe the gate

    Tell us what type of gate it is: wood, wrought iron, aluminum, chain link, or a rolling gate. Tell us what the lock does or doesn't do. A latch that won't catch, a key that won't turn, and a keypad that is dead are different problems, and your description helps us bring the right parts. We are available 24/7, so you can call whenever the problem shows up.

  2. 2

    We come to you and inspect on site

    Because we're fully mobile, we look at the gate where it is installed. We check how it hangs, whether the posts have shifted, whether the latch and strike line up, and whether the lock itself is worn, rusted, or damaged. Misalignment is a common reason a good lock appears to fail.

  3. 3

    We explain the options before work starts

    If a cleaning, adjustment, or part swap will solve it, we say so. If the lock is past saving or no longer secure, we explain why and walk through replacement choices, including keypad or smart options where they suit the gate and the power or battery situation. You decide before we proceed.

  4. 4

    Repair, replace, or install

    We do the work: realigning a strike, replacing a latch, rekeying a lock, swapping a corroded cylinder, or installing a new keypad or smart lock. For hangar doors and roll gates we work with the padlock or hasp style the setup calls for.

  5. 5

    Test it through real use

    We cycle the gate several times, open and closed, from both sides. For keypad and smart locks we set up codes or settings with you and confirm they behave as expected. You leave knowing how to operate and maintain what we installed.

What affects the price

  • Whether the lock can be repaired or needs full replacement, since adjusting or rekeying differs from installing new hardware.
  • The gate material and type, such as wood, wrought iron, aluminum, or a rolling gate, which affects the hardware and mounting options.
  • Whether you want a basic mechanical latch, a keypad lock, or a smart lock, and any power, battery, or connectivity requirements that come with it.
  • Condition of the gate itself, including sagging, post movement, or rust that has to be addressed for a new lock to work properly.
  • Time of day and urgency, since after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled visits.
  • Number of locks or gates involved, such as a pedestrian gate plus a driveway gate, or several hangar doors.

Why La Verne chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your gate, which is where alignment and weather-related problems are actually visible.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work, so there is real experience behind the diagnosis.
  • We repair before we replace when repair is sound, rather than steering every call toward new hardware.
  • We handle everything from traditional latches and padlocks to keypad and smart gate locks, so one call covers the whole range.
  • Available 24/7, including when a gate won't secure a property overnight.
  • We tell you plainly when a problem is the gate, the post, or the lock, so you aren't paying to replace the wrong thing.

Gate Lock Repair across La Verne

La Verne's housing stock makes gate work varied. In Old Town La Verne, around D Street and Bonita Ave, early-1900s Craftsman and period homes often have side and backyard gates paired with original mortise locks and skeleton-key doors. Owners frequently want to upgrade security without losing the look of the house, so we try to match hardware to the home's character. In North La Verne and the Marshall Canyon foothills, newer developments climbing toward the park often have driveway and side gates exposed to sun, wind, and dust, and keypad or smart locks are a common request.

Near the University of La Verne, student rentals bring a different pattern. Gates get heavy use, keys get copied and lost, and rekeying a gate lock at the start of a term is a practical way to make sure only current tenants have access. Landlords and property managers in ZIP code 91750 can call us to rekey or replace gate hardware between tenants.

Brackett Field adds its own needs. General-aviation hangars rely on padlocks, hasps, and roll-door locks, and these see weather and heavy use. We can service that hardware on site. Whether you're off Foothill Blvd, Arrow Hwy, Wheeler Ave, or Fruit St, or coming in from SR-210 or SR-57, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

Gate Lock Repair in La Verne — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in La Verne at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your La Verne property when a gate won't lock or latch. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the gate is doing.
My gate latch won't catch. Does that mean the lock is bad?
Not always. A latch that won't catch is often caused by a sagging gate, a shifted post, or a misaligned strike plate. We inspect the whole setup on site and fix the real cause, which sometimes means adjusting rather than replacing hardware.
Can you install a keypad or smart lock on my gate?
Yes. We install keypad and smart gate locks and help you choose one that fits your gate type, weather exposure, and power or battery needs. We also set up codes with you and test them before we leave.
Can you work on hangar locks at Brackett Field?
We can service padlocks, hasps, and roll-door locks like those used on general-aviation hangars. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe the door or gate and we'll discuss what's involved.
Can you rekey a gate lock at my student rental near the University of La Verne?
Yes. Rekeying is a common request between tenants or at the start of a term. It makes old keys stop working without always requiring a whole new lock. We come to the property, so no one has to bring the lock anywhere.
I have an older Craftsman in Old Town. Can you upgrade the gate or door locks without ruining the look?
Often, yes. We can look at what you have, including mortise locks and skeleton-key setups, and discuss options that improve security while respecting the home's period character. A site visit is the best way to decide.
How much does gate lock repair cost?
It depends on the factors involved: whether the lock can be repaired or needs replacing, the gate type, the kind of lock you want, the condition of the gate, and the time of the call. Call (323) 997-8867 and we'll talk through your situation.
Do I need a storefront visit to get my gate lock fixed?
No. We're fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your gate anywhere in La Verne, including ZIP code 91750, and do the work on site.
