Rolling Hills is unusual: one fully gated community of large ranch-style estates, with manned security gates at the entrances and, on many properties, a second layer of gates at the driveway, the pasture, or the barn yard. When one of those inner gates stops latching, a keypad quits, or a lock seizes, it is more than an annoyance. It can leave horses, vehicles or an entire home exposed, or lock you out of your own driveway.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar knows that gate hardware is a different animal from a front door deadbolt. Gates sit outdoors all year, swing under their own weight, get hit by vehicles, and face fog and salt-tinged hilltop air. We repair what can be repaired, replace what cannot, and install new latches and electronic locks when an older setup has run its course.
We are fully mobile and available around the clock. Everything happens at your gate, whether that is a hand-forged ranch latch on white three-rail fencing or a keypad and smart lock added to a driveway entry in recent years.
How it works in Rolling Hills
- 1
Tell us what the gate is doing
When you call (323) 997-8867, describe the gate: swing or slide, wood, iron or tube steel, and whether the lock is a latch, padlock, keypad, or smart device. Tell us whether it will not latch, will not unlock, or will not open at all. That helps us bring the right parts.
- 2
Arrange access through the community gate
Rolling Hills has manned security entries, so we coordinate with you to be cleared in. Having your name on the access list or letting the gate staff know a locksmith is expected keeps things smooth, especially for after-hours calls.
- 3
Diagnose the real cause
A gate that will not latch is often sagging hinges, a post that has shifted, or a misaligned strike rather than a bad lock. We check alignment, corrosion, wear, wiring and batteries on electronic units before recommending anything.
- 4
Repair, rekey or replace
Where possible we repair or re-adjust the existing hardware. If the lock is worn or corroded beyond saving, we replace it with weather-appropriate hardware. We can rekey so old keys or codes no longer work, which matters after caretaker or ranch-hand changes.
- 5
Test it the way you actually use it
We operate the gate repeatedly, check that it closes and secures on its own, test keypad codes or app access if applicable, and show you how to adjust or reset settings.

What affects the price
- The type of gate lock involved: a basic latch or padlock hasp is a different job from a keypad or smart lock with wiring and power.
- Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or must be fully replaced, including how corroded or damaged it is.
- The gate material and condition, since wood, iron and tubular steel need different mounting and fasteners, and sagging gates may need extra alignment work.
- Whether rekeying or multiple locks are involved, such as a gate, house, barn and tack room all keyed together.
- Electronic components such as keypads, strikes, batteries, wiring or smart modules that must be supplied, programmed or integrated with an existing operator.
- The time of the call, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours or urgent visits are priced differently from scheduled work.
Why Rolling Hills chooses us
- Fully mobile: we work at your gate, so there is no shop to drive to and nothing needs to be removed unless a part must be replaced.
- In business since 1987, with an owner-led approach and long experience with outdoor and specialty hardware.
- We handle both traditional ranch-era latches and modern keypad and smart gate locks, so you do not need separate vendors.
- We think about the whole property: gate, house, barn and tack room can be rekeyed so one change of staff does not mean a patchwork of keys.
- We recommend repair when repair makes sense instead of selling replacement by default, and we explain what we found.
- Available 24/7, including nights and weekends when a gate failure is most disruptive.
Gate Lock Repair across Rolling Hills
Rolling Hills in ZIP code 90274 is a single enclave reached through manned entry gates: the Main Gate off Palos Verdes Drive North and Portuguese Bend Road, the Eastfield Gate along Eastfield Drive, and the Crest Gate off Crest Road. Past those, Rolling Hills Road and the quiet private roads connect estates on one-acre-plus lots, many of them 1950s and 1960s ranch homes with long driveways and their own gates.
The setting shapes the work. Hilltop fog and salt in the air corrode exposed latches, hasps and padlocks, especially on older ranch properties near Portuguese Bend Road and Crest Road. Signature white three-rail fencing and equestrian gates often carry simple hardware that was never meant for decades of weather. Properties along Eastfield Drive and elsewhere that have added electronic driveway gates may have keypads and smart locks that need battery, wiring or programming attention. With the community's extensive private bridle trails, trail and pasture gates also see constant use.
Because the roads are private and unlit, and because every visit starts at a manned gate, we plan ahead with you: confirm the address, make sure security expects us, and bring the likely hardware. Staying clear of the Flying Triangle landslide area is simply a matter of following your directions to the property. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour.
