Keyed lock on a wrought iron gate at golden hour

Open now(323) 997-8867

A gate lock has a harder life than almost any other lock on a property. It sits outdoors, takes sun and sprinkler overspray, gets slammed by kids and delivery drivers, and is often a different brand from the house locks. In Lakewood, where the classic single-story stucco ranch homes of the early 1950s typically have a side-yard gate or a backyard gate beside the driveway, that gate is often the first thing a person touches and the last thing anyone thinks to maintain. When the latch sags, the bolt stops catching, or the keypad quits, the whole property can be left open or locked tight.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and gate hardware is a regular part of the work. We handle repair first wherever it makes sense: realigning a latch that has drifted as a post settled, freeing a corroded cylinder, replacing a worn strike, or swapping a failed keypad. When a lock is past saving, we can install a new latch or lock suited to the gate material, whether wood, wrought iron, tubular steel, or chain link.

We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. David Shar, who owns the company and leads the technical work, built the business around coming to you, day or night. Tell us what the gate is made of, what kind of lock is on it, and what it is doing, and we can usually arrive knowing what to bring.

How it works in Lakewood

1
Tell us what the gate is doing
Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the symptoms: won't latch, key won't turn, keypad is dead, or the gate won't stay shut. Mention the gate material and whether the lock is a simple latch, a keyed lock, a keypad, or a smart lock.
2
Inspect the lock and the gate
Many gate lock problems are really gate problems. We check whether the post has shifted, the hinges have sagged, or the gate has dropped, because a lock fighting a misaligned gate will fail again even after being replaced.
3
Repair where it makes sense
If the mechanism can be saved, we clean, lubricate, realign, or replace the worn parts, such as the strike, spring, or cylinder. For keypad and smart locks, we check power, batteries, wiring and settings before deciding the unit is bad.
4
Replace or upgrade when needed
When a lock is rusted through, damaged, or unsuitable for the gate, we explain the options and install a replacement matched to the gate's material and how it is used. This can include rekeying so it works with keys you already carry.
5
Test it in real use
We cycle the gate repeatedly, check the latch from both sides, confirm keys or codes work, and make sure the gate closes and secures on its own. Then we walk you through any code setup or care tips.

What affects the price

Whether the job is a repair of the existing lock or a full replacement, since parts and time differ.
The type of lock: a basic latch, a keyed gate lock, a keypad lock, or a smart lock with electronics.
Gate material and condition, as wood, wrought iron, tubular steel and chain link each need different hardware and mounting.
Whether the gate itself needs realignment, such as a sagging hinge or shifted post, before the lock can work properly.
Whether the lock is part of an electric or access-controlled gate that involves wiring or a power supply.
The time of day or night you call, since we are available around the clock and after-hours service can be priced differently.

Why Lakewood chooses us

Fully mobile service, so repairs happen at your gate with our tools rather than at a shop you have to visit.
In business since 1987, with long experience in the outdoor wear and corrosion that destroy gate hardware.
We look at the gate as well as the lock, so you aren't sold a new lock for a problem that is really a sagging hinge.
We work with keyed, keypad, and smart gate locks, and can rekey to match keys you already use.
Available 24/7, which matters when a gate won't secure a yard, a pool area, or a pet's space overnight.
Owner-led: David Shar oversees the work, so the person who built the business stands behind it.

Gate Lock Repair across Lakewood

Lakewood's housing makes gate lock work look a little different here than in other cities. The community was built in the early 1950s as a huge tract of near-identical single-story stucco ranch homes, often called the Levittown of the West. In neighborhoods like Lakewood Village, Lakewood Park, and Carson Park, that usually means a driveway gate or side-yard gate that has been repaired or replaced more than once over seventy years, often with a mix of hardware that doesn't match the house. Old latches have been painted over, posts have settled, and wooden gates have swollen and shrunk through decades of seasons.

We get calls from across Lakewood's ZIP codes, including 90712 and 90713, whether the property sits near Lakewood Blvd, Del Amo Blvd, or Carson St. Homes near Rynerson Park or Mayfair Park often have backyard gates that kids and pets use all day, so a latch that fails is a real nuisance. Easy access from I-605 and SR-91 means we can reach properties throughout the city without a storefront anywhere.

Commercial properties have their own needs. Around Lakewood Center and The Centre at Sycamore Plaza, service gates, trash enclosures, and rear loading areas rely on sturdy, heavily used latches and locks. We can repair or replace those, and if a business also needs rekeying for new staff, we can handle that on the same visit. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

Gate Lock Repair in Lakewood — FAQs

Can you repair a gate lock in Lakewood the same day?

We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through the problem and schedule service. We don't promise specific arrival times, but we will tell you what to expect when you call.

My gate latch won't catch anymore. Does it need a new lock?

Not always. On older Lakewood properties, the cause is often a settled post or sagging hinge that has shifted the alignment. We check the gate first and often fix the problem by adjusting the strike or latch instead of replacing it.

Do you fix keypad and smart gate locks?

Yes. We check batteries, power, wiring, and settings first, since those are common causes of failure. If the unit has failed, we can replace it and set up new codes with you.

Can you rekey a gate lock so it matches my other keys?

In many cases, yes. Rekeying lets one key work across compatible locks. Call (323) 997-8867 with the lock brand if you know it, and we can tell you what's possible.

What if my gate lock is rusted or corroded?

Outdoor exposure is hard on locks. We can often free and lubricate a stiff cylinder, but badly corroded hardware is better replaced. We will tell you honestly which one your lock needs.

Do you work on commercial gates near Lakewood Center?

Yes. We service gate locks and latches on service entries, enclosures, and similar commercial spots, and we can also handle rekeying or master-key needs for businesses.

How much does gate lock repair cost?

It depends on the lock type, gate material, whether the gate needs adjustment, and whether electronics are involved. Call (323) 997-8867, describe the situation, and we will explain what affects the price.

Do I need to come to a shop?

No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only, with no storefront. We come to your gate anywhere in Lakewood.
