A gate is the first lock between your property and the street, and in Long Beach it works hard. Salt air rolls in off the harbor, fog and damp settle into hinges and latches, and a lot of gates here see daily use: side yards in Belmont Shore, courtyard entries in Alamitos Beach, and driveway and pedestrian gates around apartment buildings in Wrigley. When a latch stops catching, a keypad goes dead, or a key snaps off in a corroded cylinder, the gate either won't secure or won't open.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. We drive to you, look at the gate where it hangs, and decide whether the right answer is cleaning and adjustment, a repair, or a replacement. Many gate problems turn out to be alignment, rust or worn internals rather than a lock that has to be thrown away, and we would rather tell you that than sell you something you don't need.

We work on the full range of gate hardware: spring latches, drop bolts, gravity latches, cylinder locks, mortise-style gate locks, mechanical keypad locks, electronic keypad locks, and smart locks built for outdoor use. Whether it is a wooden side gate, a wrought-iron pedestrian gate or a tubular aluminum pool gate, we can repair or install the lock and make sure it closes and secures properly. We are available around the clock, because a gate that won't lock at night is a problem that shouldn't wait for morning.

How it works in Long Beach

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the gate is doing: not latching, key won't turn, keypad unresponsive, or lock removed or damaged. Tell us the gate material and whether it is a swing gate or slider. This helps us bring the right parts and tools.

  2. 2

    Inspect the gate, post and latch

    On arrival we look at the whole system, not just the lock. Sagging hinges, a shifted post or a gate that has drifted out of alignment are common reasons a latch fails, and fixing the lock alone won't solve those.

  3. 3

    Diagnose corrosion, wear or electronics

    Near the coast, corrosion is often the culprit. We check for seized cylinders, rusted springs and pitted strike plates. For keypad and smart locks we check batteries, wiring, weather sealing and the keypad itself before deciding what is faulty.

  4. 4

    Repair or replace, with options explained

    If cleaning, lubrication, adjustment or a new part will do the job, we do that. If the hardware is worn out, we explain replacement choices, including corrosion-resistant and outdoor-rated options, so you can decide what fits the gate and your budget.

  5. 5

    Install, test and set up access

    After the work we test the gate through repeated open and close cycles, confirm the latch catches cleanly, and cut or rekey keys as needed. For keypad or smart locks we set the codes with you and show you how to change them.

  6. 6

    Leave you with care advice

    We tell you what to do to keep the lock working in salt air, such as appropriate lubricants for outdoor hardware and what to avoid, so you are not calling again for the same problem next season.

What affects the price

  • Type of lock: a basic latch repair differs from replacing a keypad or smart lock rated for outdoor use.
  • Condition of the gate: a sagging gate, bent frame or shifted post may need adjusting or repair in addition to the lock work.
  • Corrosion level: a lightly stiff cylinder may only need cleaning, while a seized or heavily rusted one may need replacement.
  • Material and hardware grade: marine-grade or stainless hardware costs differently from standard zinc or steel parts.
  • Electronics and power: wiring, access control integration and battery or low-voltage supply can add to the scope of work.
  • Time and access: after-hours calls, difficult access to the gate, or multiple gates on one property affect the total.

Why Long Beach chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: we come to the gate, so the work is done on site and we see the real conditions instead of guessing over the phone.
  • We repair before we replace: if a corroded latch can be cleaned, adjusted or re-aligned, we will say so rather than push new hardware.
  • Experience with coastal wear: salt air and moisture are routine for us, and we can steer you toward hardware that holds up better in them.
  • Mechanical and electronic skills in one visit: from simple spring latches to keypad and smart gate locks, one technician can handle both.
  • Available 24/7: a gate that won't secure is a nighttime problem too, and you can reach us any hour at (323) 997-8867.
  • Owner-led standards: David Shar leads the company, and the same straightforward approach applies to every job, large or small.

Gate Lock Repair across Long Beach

Long Beach is large and varied, and gates vary just as much. In Naples and Belmont Shore, canal-side and bungalow properties often have side and front gates exposed to salt and moisture, which is hard on latches, hinges and cylinders. A gate in Naples (90803) that was fine last year can be stiff or seized this year, and the fix is often cleaning, new hardware in a corrosion-resistant finish, or realignment rather than a full rebuild.

Further inland, historic homes in California Heights and Belmont Heights often have original side gates, courtyard gates and fencing that go with 1920s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial architecture. Owners there usually want hardware that looks right as well as works. In Bixby Knolls, Wrigley and Alamitos Beach (90804, 90805, 90813), we see apartment and multi-unit properties with shared pedestrian gates, where keypad locks, worn latches and lost keys come up often. Downtown Long Beach (90802) has residential buildings and garage or courtyard gates where access control matters.

We travel throughout the city, from areas near the Queen Mary and Shoreline Village to the blocks around CSULB and El Dorado Regional Park, using I-710, I-405, PCH and Atlantic Ave to reach you. Wherever your gate is in Long Beach, call (323) 997-8867 at any hour and we will come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Long Beach — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Long Beach at night and on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your gate at night, on weekends and on holidays. Call (323) 997-8867.
My gate latch is rusted from the salt air. Can it be repaired?
Often, yes. If the corrosion is light, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment may restore it. If the cylinder is seized or the latch is badly pitted, we can replace it with a more corrosion-resistant option suited to coastal conditions.
Can you install a keypad or smart lock on my gate?
Yes. We install and repair keypad and smart gate locks, including outdoor-rated models. We check the gate type, power needs and weather exposure first, then set up and test the codes with you.
Why won't my gate latch even though the lock seems fine?
Usually the gate has sagged or the post has shifted, so the latch and strike plate no longer line up. We check the hinges, post and alignment and correct them, which often solves the problem without replacing the lock.
Can you work on gates at older homes in California Heights or Belmont Heights?
Yes. We can repair original hardware where possible or suggest replacements that suit the style of an older home. Tell us about the gate when you call (323) 997-8867 so we can plan the visit.
Do you service shared gates at apartment buildings or HOAs?
Yes. We handle pedestrian and entry gates at multi-unit properties, including worn latches, rekeying and keypad lock repair. For shared access, please have a property manager or board contact available to authorize work.
Do I need to bring the gate lock to your shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We come to you and do the repair or installation at the gate.
How much does gate lock repair cost?
It depends on the lock type, the gate's condition, how corroded the hardware is, and the parts needed. Call (323) 997-8867, describe the problem, and we will explain what affects the price for your situation.
