A gate lock lives a harder life than a front door lock. It sits outside in sun, fog, sprinkler overspray, and foothill dust, and it gets slammed, kicked, and leaned on every day. In Monrovia, that matters whether the gate is a wooden side-yard gate on an Old Town Craftsman bungalow, a long wrought-iron driveway gate on a hillside lot, or a service gate behind a shop off Myrtle Avenue. When a latch stops catching, a key turns but nothing moves, or a keypad goes dark, the fix is usually a repair rather than a full replacement.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar has seen nearly every way a gate lock can fail. We are fully mobile and available around the clock, so we come to the gate itself. There is no storefront to visit; the work happens where the problem is, with the tools and common hardware to handle it on site.

Gate work is a specialty because the lock is only part of the story. Hinges sag, posts shift, latches fall out of alignment, and a lock that looks broken may simply be fighting a gate that has dropped half an inch. We look at the whole assembly first, then fix what is actually wrong, so you are not paying to replace hardware that was never the culprit.

How it works in Monrovia

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what kind of gate it is (wood, wrought iron, aluminum, chain link), what the lock does or does not do, and whether anyone is locked in or out. That helps us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    Inspect the whole latch assembly

    On site we check the lock, latch, strike, hinges, and the way the gate hangs. Many sticking or non-latching gates are alignment problems, and finding that early keeps the repair honest and focused.

  3. 3

    Diagnose lock, keypad, or smart components

    For keyed locks we test the cylinder and bolt. For keypad and smart gate locks we check power, batteries, wiring, weather exposure, and programming. We explain what failed and what your options are before work begins.

  4. 4

    Repair, rekey, or replace

    Where a repair is sound, we do it. If the hardware is worn out or unsuitable for outdoor use, we install a new gate lock or latch. We can also rekey so old keys, including ones held by previous owners or tenants, stop working.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, check that the gate swings and latches cleanly, and confirm keys or codes work. If you have a keypad or smart lock, we walk you through setting and changing codes.

What affects the price

  • The type of gate and material, since wood, wrought iron, and aluminum each call for different mounting and hardware.
  • Whether the job is a repair, a rekey, or a full lock or latch replacement.
  • Keypad or smart lock requirements, including power source, wiring, and programming.
  • The condition of hinges, posts, and alignment, which can add work beyond the lock itself.
  • Hardware grade, since outdoor-rated and heavy-duty locks differ from standard residential options.
  • Time of day and site access, such as after-hours calls or a long hillside driveway.

Why Monrovia chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a stuck gate at night is handled where it stands.
  • In business since 1987, with hands-on experience across older and newer gate hardware.
  • We check hinges, posts, and latch alignment before blaming the lock, which avoids unnecessary replacements.
  • We work with traditional keyed gate locks as well as keypad and smart gate locks.

  • We explain the problem and options plainly before starting, with no pressure.

Gate Lock Repair across Monrovia

Monrovia's housing is unusually varied for gate work. Around Old Town Monrovia, 1900s to 1930s Craftsman bungalows and Victorians often have wooden side-yard and front-walk gates with old rim latches and thumb-latch hardware that has seen decades of weather. Rekeying after a home sale is common here, and we aim to keep period hardware and vintage character intact when it can be done properly. Near Myrtle Avenue, small shops and restaurants rely on rear and service gates that need dependable locks and, sometimes, a commercial rekey.

Head north through Mayflower Village and up toward North Monrovia in the foothills, and the gates change. Hillside custom and mid-century homes above Foothill Boulevard often have long driveways and side-yard gates on larger lots, where a failed keypad or loose latch can leave a property exposed. After buying a hillside home, many owners want those gate locks rekeyed or upgraded along with the doors. Properties in ZIP code 91016 and 91017 are all within the area we serve.

Whether you are near Library Park, close to the Metro A Line station, off Huntington Drive, or up Mountain Avenue toward Monrovia Canyon Park, we come to you. Reach us at (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night.

Gate Lock Repair in Monrovia — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Monrovia at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour for a gate that will not lock, latch, or open.
Can you fix a keypad or smart gate lock?
Often, yes. We check power, batteries, wiring, weather damage, and programming. If the unit has failed, we can install a replacement keypad or smart gate lock.
My gate latch will not catch. Is the lock broken?
Not always. Sagging hinges, shifted posts, or a misaligned strike are common causes, especially on older wood gates. We inspect the whole assembly before recommending a part.
Can you rekey the gate locks after I buy a house?
Yes. We can rekey driveway and side-yard gate locks along with the doors so previous keys no longer work. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Will you work on gates at older Old Town homes?
Yes. Many Craftsman and Victorian properties have original hardware. We try to preserve what is worth keeping and choose suitable replacements when something cannot be repaired.
Do you handle commercial gates near Myrtle Avenue?
We do. Shops and restaurants often have rear or service gates that need repair, rekeying, or a sturdier lock. We can also help with storefront lockouts.
How much does gate lock repair cost?
It depends on the gate type, whether it is a repair or replacement, keypad or smart features, hardware grade, and site conditions. We explain the options before work starts.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We are mobile only and come to your gate. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will take it from there.
