A gate lock is easy to ignore until it stops working. Then the latch won't catch, the keypad goes dead, or the key snaps off in a cylinder that has baked in the sun for years. In Pomona, gates guard everything from side yards in Ganesha Hills to apartment courts near the campuses, storage compounds, and commercial lots off Holt Avenue. When one fails, you either can't get in or can't keep anyone out, and neither is something you want to live with overnight.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, under owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, so the tools, hardware, and know-how come to the gate. That matters for gate work, because a gate cannot be carried into a shop and the problem is often tied to how the gate hangs, swings, and closes as much as to the lock itself.

This page explains how we approach gate lock repair in Pomona, what shapes the cost, and what to expect. Whether you have a wooden side gate, a wrought-iron driveway gate, a chain-link yard, or a keypad-controlled entry, the goal is the same: a lock that works reliably, secures the gate, and suits the way you actually use it.

How it works in Pomona

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night. Tell us what type of gate it is (wood, iron, chain-link, aluminum), what the lock looks like, and what is going wrong. Photos of the latch and hardware help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    On-site inspection

    Our technician comes to the property and looks at the whole setup, not only the lock. Sagging hinges, a gate that has shifted, a misaligned strike, rust, and worn cylinders are common causes of what looks like a lock failure.

  3. 3

    Repair or replace, with a clear recommendation

    If the existing lock or latch can be restored, we say so and repair it. If it is worn out, mismatched to the gate, or not secure enough, we explain the replacement options, including keyed, keypad, and smart locks, before any work begins.

  4. 4

    Installation and adjustment

    We install or repair the hardware and then adjust alignment so the gate closes and latches smoothly. For keypad and smart locks, we set codes or connectivity and show you how everything works.

  5. 5

    Testing and handoff

    We test the gate repeatedly, from both sides, in the way you use it every day. You leave with working keys or codes and an understanding of basic upkeep to extend the life of the lock.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic keyed latch, a keypad lock, and a smart lock differ widely in hardware and setup time.
  • The gate material and condition, since wood, wrought iron, aluminum, and chain-link each need different mounting and may need hinge or frame work.
  • Whether the lock can be repaired or has to be replaced, including rust, weather damage, or a broken cylinder.
  • Extra work such as realigning a sagging gate, replacing a strike plate, or adding a second lock point.
  • Timing and location of the call, including after-hours or emergency requests, and how many gates or locks are involved.
  • Security upgrades you choose, such as higher-grade cylinders, weather-resistant finishes, or rekeying several gates to match one key.

Why Pomona chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: we bring the tools and a range of gate hardware to your property rather than asking you to bring a gate anywhere.
  • We look at the whole gate, because a lot of lock trouble is really alignment, hinge, or latch trouble, and fixing only the lock would not last.
  • We handle keyed, keypad, and smart gate locks, so you get an honest recommendation instead of a push toward one product.
  • Available 24/7 for lockouts and failed latches, which matters when a gate is the only way into a home, yard, or business.
  • Repair first when it makes sense: if the existing hardware can be saved, we will say so rather than sell you a replacement.
  • Experience across Pomona's mix of properties, from period homes and apartment courts to commercial lots and event storage.

Gate Lock Repair across Pomona

Pomona's housing and property mix creates a wide range of gate needs. In neighborhoods like Ganesha Hills, with its 1920s to 1940s period revival homes, side and driveway gates often carry older hardware that has weathered decades of sun and use. Over in Phillips Ranch, newer stucco subdivisions and 1970s and 80s tract homes tend to have standard residential gates where a worn latch or a failing keypad is the usual complaint. Westmont and the apartment courts near the campuses have shared gates that see constant traffic and tenant turnover, and those wear out locks quickly.

Student rentals near Cal Poly Pomona and Western University of Health Sciences are a good example. When tenants change over, a landlord may need the gate lock rekeyed or replaced along with the unit locks, ideally in a single mobile visit. We can handle that kind of multi-lock job on site. Commercial properties along Holt Avenue and Garey Avenue, and the brick buildings and loft conversions downtown near the Arts Colony and Antique Row on 2nd Street, often have rear lot and alley gates that need dependable, weather-resistant locks.

Fairplex is another local scenario: during LA County Fair setup, vendors rely on padlocked gates and storage containers, and a seized lock can hold up a whole day. We serve addresses throughout Pomona, including ZIP codes 91766, 91767, 91768, and 91769, with easy access from I-10, SR-60, SR-57, and SR-71. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Pomona — FAQs

Can you repair a gate lock in Pomona at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the gate and the problem, and we will arrange to come to your property.
Do you repair keypad and smart gate locks?
Yes. We repair and install keyed, keypad, and smart gate locks. We can reset codes, replace failed units, and set up new ones, then walk you through using them.
My gate latch won't catch. Is the lock broken?
Not always. A gate that has sagged, shifted, or warped often stops lining up with its latch. We check the hinges, strike, and alignment as well as the lock, so the fix actually lasts.
Should I repair or replace my gate lock?
It depends on condition and security. If the lock is basically sound, repair is often enough. If it is badly rusted, worn, or too weak for what the gate protects, we will explain replacement options before starting.
Can you rekey several gates or locks to one key?
Yes. This is common for landlords and property managers, such as student rentals near Cal Poly Pomona. We can rekey multiple locks in one visit so one key works across them.
What if my padlock is seized or the key broke off?
We can remove broken keys and, when needed, cut and replace a seized padlock on site. This comes up with storage containers and gates at event setups like Fairplex.
Do you work on commercial and apartment gates?
Yes. We service residential, apartment, and commercial gates, including shared entries and rear lot gates along corridors like Holt Avenue and Garey Avenue.
How is the price of gate lock repair determined?
It depends on the lock type, gate material, whether repair or replacement is needed, extra alignment work, and timing. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the situation so we can explain what applies to your gate.
