A gate is the first lock anyone meets at a property, and in Pacoima it works hard. Residential side gates sit beside security bars and screen doors on small mid-century homes. Industrial yards along San Fernando Road rely on padlocked swing gates and sliding gates that open and close all day. When a latch drops, a lock seizes, or a keypad stops answering, the whole property is either exposed or locked out.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We come to the gate, look at what is actually failing, and repair it where it stands. Sometimes that means a new latch or a freed-up lock cylinder. Sometimes it means replacing hardware that has been worn out by weather, years of use, or a vehicle that clipped the gate.

We work on the gate hardware itself: latches, gate locks, padlock hasps, keypad locks, and smart gate locks. We are available 24/7 because a gate that will not secure or will not open is rarely a problem that can wait for business hours, especially for a shop or yard that needs to close up for the night.

How it works in Pacoima

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of gate it is: a swing gate or slider, wood, tubular steel, or chain link, and what the lock is doing. Is the latch not catching, the key not turning, or the keypad dead? That helps us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    Inspect the latch, lock, and alignment

    Many gate lock failures are not really lock failures. A sagging gate, a shifted post, or a bent strike keeps the latch from lining up. We check alignment, corrosion, and wear before deciding whether to repair or replace.

  3. 3

    Repair or replace the hardware

    We free up, rekey, or repair a lock where that is sensible. If the latch or lock is worn out or not strong enough for the job, we explain why and fit a replacement suited to the gate material and how heavily it is used.

  4. 4

    Install keypad or smart options if wanted

    If you are tired of copying keys for crews, tenants, or staff, we can fit a keypad or smart gate lock where the gate and power or battery situation make it practical. We set the codes up with you and show you how to change them.

  5. 5

    Test it through real use

    We cycle the gate repeatedly, check that it latches without slamming or lifting, and confirm the lock works from both sides. You get working keys or codes before we leave.

What affects the price

  • The type of gate and its material, since wood, steel, and chain link each need different mounting hardware and fitting work.
  • Whether the existing lock can be repaired or rekeyed, or needs full replacement.
  • The grade and style of hardware chosen, from a basic latch to a hardened lock or padlock hasp suited to a commercial yard.
  • Keypad or smart lock options, which depend on the power source, weather exposure, and features you want.
  • Gate condition, such as sagging, bent frames, or misaligned posts that must be corrected for the lock to work.
  • The time of day and the location of the call, since we operate 24/7 and travel to you.

Why Pacoima chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your gate in Pacoima, with no storefront and no need to move anything.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar overseeing the work.
  • We diagnose alignment and wear first, so you are not sold a new lock when the real problem is a sagging gate.
  • Experience with both older residential setups layered with bars and gates, and commercial yard gates needing tougher hardware.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a yard or side gate cannot be left unsecured overnight.
  • Plain explanations of repair versus replacement, so you can decide with clear information.

Gate Lock Repair across Pacoima

Pacoima's gates vary as much as its blocks. In Hansen Hills and around the small 1940s and 1950s stucco and wood-frame homes in the 91331 area, side and front gates often sit alongside security bars and screen doors, and decades of weather can leave latches rusted or out of line. Near Ritchie Valens Recreation Center & Park, a gate lock that no longer catches is a common reason people call us.

Along the Pacoima industrial corridor and San Fernando Road, the picture changes. Auto-repair shops, warehouses, and yards depend on swing and sliding gates with padlocks and hasps, and after employee turnover or a theft the hardware often needs to be rekeyed or replaced with something more robust. Gates near Van Nuys Boulevard's 'Mural Mile' retail stretch face constant daily use, and 91333 and 91334 include both commercial lots and residential streets where we see this work.

Whether you are near San Fernando Gardens, close to Glenoaks or Laurel Canyon Boulevard, or just off the I-5, call (323) 997-8867. We will meet you at the gate and get it securing properly again.

Gate Lock Repair in Pacoima — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Pacoima at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will come to your gate in Pacoima.
Can you fix a gate latch that will not catch?
Often, yes. The cause is frequently a sagging gate, a shifted post, or a bent strike rather than a broken lock. We check alignment first, then repair or replace the latch.
Do you install keypad or smart gate locks?
Yes. We install keypad and smart gate locks where the gate, weather exposure, and power or battery setup allow. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk through what would work for your gate.
Can you secure a commercial yard gate on San Fernando Road?
Yes. We repair and replace yard gate locks and hasps and can fit tougher hardware such as hardened padlocks. We can also rekey after employee turnover or a break-in.
Do I need a new lock or can mine be repaired?
It depends on wear, corrosion, and the lock's quality. We repair or rekey where that makes sense and tell you plainly when replacement is the better choice.
Can you rekey my gate lock instead of replacing it?
In many cases, yes. Rekeying makes old keys stop working without replacing the hardware, if the lock is still in good condition.
Do you work on gates at older homes with security bars?
Yes. Older Pacoima homes often have gates, bars, and screen doors working together. We repair or install gate hardware that fits what is already there.
How do I get an estimate?
Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the gate, the lock, and the problem. Price depends on factors like gate type, hardware chosen, and condition, and we will explain them before work begins.
