A gate lock is the first lock anyone meets, and in Redondo Beach it also has the hardest life. Salt air rolls in off the harbor, fog settles on hardware overnight, and metal that looked fine last spring can be seized, rusted or sticking by fall. A latch that no longer catches, a keypad that stops responding, or a key that turns only with a wiggle usually points to wear that can be fixed on site.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and the team are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. We drive to your property with tools and common gate hardware, diagnose the problem where it happens, and repair it if repair makes sense. If the hardware is too far gone, we explain why and replace it.

We work on residential side gates, driveway and pedestrian gates, townhome community gates, patio and courtyard gates, and commercial or marina-side gates. That includes mechanical latches, gate-rated deadbolts, keypad locks and smart gate locks. Because we are available 24/7, a gate that will not secure at night or will not open in the morning does not have to wait.

How it works in Redondo Beach

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the gate is made of (wrought iron, aluminum, wood or tubular steel), what lock is on it, and what is going wrong. Photos of the latch help. This lets us bring the right parts to your gate.

  2. 2

    On-site inspection

    We look at more than the lock. Gates sag, hinges drop, and posts shift, which makes latches miss their strike. In Redondo Beach we also check for salt corrosion in the cylinder, springs and fasteners, because that is often the real cause.

  3. 3

    Repair before replace

    If the lock can be restored by cleaning, lubricating, realigning the strike, re-pinning the cylinder or swapping a worn internal part, we do that first. We tell you plainly when replacement is the better long-term choice.

  4. 4

    Install or upgrade the hardware

    When replacing, we match the lock to the gate and the exposure. That can mean a weather-resistant latch, a gate-rated deadbolt, a keypad lock, or a smart lock compatible with your setup. We mount it so it lines up and closes cleanly.

  5. 5

    Rekey or add keys as needed

    If keys were lost, a tenant moved out, or a contractor had access, we can rekey the gate lock so old keys stop working. We can also set up keypad codes and cut copies you need.

  6. 6

    Test and walk you through it

    Before we leave, we cycle the gate repeatedly, confirm it latches by itself, and show you how to use and maintain the lock, including simple rinsing and lubrication habits that help near the coast.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock involved: a basic mechanical latch is a different job from a keypad or smart lock with electronics and batteries.
  • Whether the lock can be repaired or the hardware must be replaced, and the grade and finish of replacement parts chosen.
  • Gate condition and material, since a sagging, bent or rusted gate may need alignment work in addition to the lock itself.
  • Corrosion level, because heavily salt-damaged hardware can be difficult to remove and may need extra labor.
  • Rekeying, extra keys or code programming added to the service.
  • Time of day and location, since after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled daytime visits.

Why Redondo Beach chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: we come to your gate with tools and common hardware, so many repairs finish in a single visit.
  • 24/7 availability, useful when a gate will not latch at night or a lost key leaves you locked out of a shared entry.
  • Repair-first approach: we fix what can be fixed instead of pushing replacement.
  • Experience with coastal wear: we know how salt air attacks cylinders, springs and finishes, and we recommend hardware suited to it.
  • Wide range of gate hardware: mechanical, keypad and smart locks across residential, HOA and commercial gates.
  • Owner-led standards from David Shar, with clear explanations of the problem and options before work begins.

Gate Lock Repair across Redondo Beach

Redondo Beach is split into South Redondo (90277) and North Redondo (90278), and the gates differ between them. In Hollywood Riviera and around Riviera Village, many homes date to the 1920s through 1950s, with Spanish-style courtyards, hillside driveways and side gates that have faced decades of marine air. Corroded exterior hardware is common there, and a rusted gate latch is often a sign the deadbolts nearby deserve a look too.

North Redondo, including El Nido, Golden Hills and The Avenues (90278), is dominated by attached townhomes and small-lot subdivisions from the 1980s through the 2000s. There, the gates are often shared: HOA pedestrian gates, garage access points and patio gates tied to several units. A failed latch can affect a whole row of neighbors, so we coordinate with residents or property managers and can rekey or reprogram access when someone moves in or out.

Near King Harbor Marina, the Redondo Beach Pier and the Seaside Lagoon area, gates and storage enclosures face the most direct salt exposure, and a lost key on a marina gate or unit lock is a common call. Whether you are off Pacific Coast Hwy, Artesia Blvd, Torrance Blvd, Aviation Blvd or Inglewood Ave, we come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Redondo Beach — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks at my property in Redondo Beach, or do I bring it in?
We are fully mobile with no storefront. We come to your gate anywhere in Redondo Beach. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
Why does my gate lock keep sticking or rusting near the beach?
Salt air and moisture corrode cylinders, springs and screws. Cleaning, proper lubrication and weather-suited hardware help. If the lock is too far gone, we can replace it with a more durable option.
Can you fix keypad and smart gate locks?
Yes. We repair, replace and install keypad and smart gate locks, including battery and code setup. Compatibility depends on your gate and existing setup, which we check on site.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. If your gate will not latch or you are locked out, call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
Can you rekey a shared townhome or HOA gate lock?
Often yes, when you have authority to approve the change. We recommend coordinating with your HOA or property manager so all residents get working keys or codes.
What if I lost the key to a marina gate or storage padlock?
We can service marina-area gate locks, padlocks and unit locks after a lost key, by rekeying or replacing the hardware. Confirm that you are authorized to access the property.
How much does gate lock repair cost?
It depends on the lock type, whether it can be repaired, gate condition, corrosion and timing. We explain your options before work begins. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your situation.
Should I repair or replace my gate lock?
If the problem is alignment, dirt or a worn part, repair is often enough. If corrosion has damaged the mechanism or the lock no longer gives you proper security, replacement makes more sense. We will tell you honestly which applies.
