Gates do a lot of quiet work in San Marino. On the large lots that fill this city, a driveway gate, a side gate and a garden gate are often the first line of security and the first thing a visitor touches. When a latch sags, a lock seizes, or a keypad stops answering, the whole property's routine gets disrupted, and an unlatched gate defeats the purpose of having one.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar and the team bring that experience to gate hardware. We repair and install gate locks and latches, including keypad and smart gate locks. We are fully mobile, with no storefront, so the work happens at your gate rather than at a counter.

Many San Marino homes are 1920s and 1930s period-revival estates, and the gates often match: wrought iron, heavy wood, or custom metalwork around Spanish Colonial, Tudor and Georgian houses. Repairs on those gates call for care. The goal is a lock that works reliably and secures the property without spoiling the look of hardware that was chosen to suit the house.

How it works in San Marino

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Phone (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us what type of gate it is, whether it swings or slides, what kind of lock or latch it has, and what is going wrong: sticking, loose, not latching, keypad dead, or a key that no longer turns.

  2. 2

    Inspect the lock, latch and gate alignment

    Many gate lock problems are not the lock itself. A gate that has shifted on its hinges or posts can keep a latch from catching. We check alignment, strike position, hinges and the condition of the hardware before deciding what to repair.

  3. 3

    Repair, adjust or replace

    Where the hardware can be saved, we clean, adjust, re-pin or repair it. Where it is worn out, damaged by weather or past reasonable repair, we explain the options and replace it, matching the gate's style when appearance matters.

  4. 4

    Set up keypad or smart components

    For keypad and smart gate locks, we check power, wiring or batteries, set or reset codes, and confirm the lock responds correctly. We walk you through using it so household members and staff know how it works.

  5. 5

    Test, rekey if needed and hand over

    We cycle the gate repeatedly to confirm it latches and releases smoothly. If keys were lost or staff changed, we can rekey the gate so it works with the same key as your other locks, then hand over the working keys or codes.

What affects the price

  • The type of gate lock involved, from a basic latch to a keypad or smart lock, since the parts and setup differ widely.
  • Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or adjusted, or has to be replaced.
  • Gate condition, including sag, misaligned posts or rust that affect how the lock sits and catches.
  • Whether the gate needs electrical or battery work, or is tied into an access system.
  • Whether rekeying is included, and how many locks are being brought onto a single key.
  • Time of day and the complexity of the visit, since we are available around the clock.

Why San Marino chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the tools and common parts to your gate, and there is no shop to drive to.
  • Available 24/7, so a gate that will not latch overnight does not have to wait until morning.
  • In business since 1987, with long experience across residential, commercial and automotive lock work.
  • Careful with period-style hardware, aiming to preserve the character of estate gates rather than replacing everything by default.
  • Able to tie gates into your wider security by rekeying them to match your exterior doors, so one key does the job.
  • We look at alignment and wear first, so you are not sold a new lock when the real issue is a shifted gate.

Gate Lock Repair across San Marino

San Marino's streets reward a good gate. Around the Huntington Library district, large lots and mature landscaping mean side and garden gates are as common as front doors, and many of them see daily use by gardeners, household staff and deliveries. In the Lacy Park neighborhood, the same pattern holds: long frontages, driveway gates and discreet pedestrian gates that need to work quietly every time. In ZIP 91108, we regularly think about how security should blend with the house rather than stand out.

Housing here leans toward 1920s and 1930s Spanish Colonial, Tudor and Georgian estates, often with original mortise hardware and solid-wood doors. Gates tend to be built to suit, in iron or wood, and owners often prefer high-security cylinders and discreet smart-lock systems. A common scenario is a lost key or a staff change, where the answer is to rekey the exterior doors and the side and garden gates together, re-pinning everything to a single key.

We travel the city's main routes, including Huntington Drive, Sierra Madre Boulevard, San Gabriel Boulevard, Del Mar Avenue and Los Robles Avenue, to reach homes near landmarks like Lacy Park, El Molino Viejo and the Crowell Public Library, as well as the modest commercial stretch of the Mission District along Huntington Drive. Whatever the gate, call (323) 997-8867.

Gate Lock Repair in San Marino — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in San Marino at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour about a gate that will not latch or lock.
Can you fix a gate that won't latch?
Often, yes. Latching trouble frequently comes from a gate that has shifted or a strike that no longer lines up, not from a failed lock. We check alignment first, then adjust or replace parts as needed.
Do you work on keypad and smart gate locks?
Yes. We repair and install keypad and smart gate locks, checking power, batteries and wiring, setting codes, and showing you how to use the system.
Can you rekey my gates to match my house keys?
In most cases we can. After a lost key or staff change, we can rekey exterior doors and side or garden gates so a single key works throughout. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your setup.
Can you match the look of an older estate gate?
We take appearance seriously on period-style properties. Where a lock can be repaired and kept, we do that. Where replacement is needed, we discuss options that suit the gate and the house.
Do I need a new lock or just a repair?
It depends on the wear, the weather exposure and the lock type. We inspect first and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront. We come to your San Marino property with tools and common parts.
What affects the price of gate lock repair?
The main factors are lock type, whether it can be repaired, gate condition, any electrical or smart components, and whether rekeying is included. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the gate so we can talk through what is involved.
