A gate lock has a harder life than a door lock. It sits outdoors in sun, rain, salt air and dust, gets slammed by the wind, and is used by everyone from family members to delivery drivers. Latches sag as posts shift, strike plates stop lining up, keypads wear out, and cylinders get stiff or seize. When a gate won't latch or won't open, your property is either exposed or you're locked out of it.
Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There's no shop to drive to. We come to your home, apartment complex, business or yard, look at the gate where it stands, and repair or replace the lock on site. That matters for gates, because the fix often depends on the gate itself: its material, how it swings, and how the post and latch meet.
We work on residential side gates and driveway gates, pedestrian gates at multifamily properties, and commercial and fenced-yard gates. That includes standard latches and padlock hasps, keyed gate locks, mechanical keypad locks, and electronic or smart gate locks. If a repair makes sense, we'll say so. If the lock is worn out or the wrong type for how the gate is used, we'll explain the options and let you choose.
How our gate lock repair service works
- 1
Call and describe the gate
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the gate is made of, what type of lock it has, and what's going wrong: won't latch, key won't turn, keypad dead, or lock damaged. This helps us bring the right parts.
- 2
Inspect the gate on site
We check the lock, latch, strike, hinges and post alignment. Many gate lock complaints are really alignment or wear problems, so we look at the whole closing path, not just the lock body.
- 3
Explain the options
We walk you through whether repair, adjustment or replacement makes the most sense, including whether a keypad or smart lock suits your gate and who uses it. You approve the plan before we start work.
- 4
Repair or install
We service or replace the lock, latch or keypad, and adjust the strike or hardware so the gate closes and secures smoothly. For smart or keypad locks we set up codes or settings as needed.
- 5
Test and hand over
We cycle the gate repeatedly, check that it latches on its own where it should, test keys or codes, and show you how to use and maintain the lock.
What affects the price
- The type of lock: a basic latch or keyed lock differs from a keypad or smart gate lock in parts and setup.
- Repair versus replacement: a cleaning, adjustment or part swap is a different job than a full new lock.
- Gate material and condition, such as wrought iron, aluminum, wood or chain link, and whether the frame or post needs alignment work.
- Weather exposure and damage: rusted, corroded or forced hardware may need more work or a heavier-duty replacement.
- Number of gates or locks and whether you want them keyed alike or set up with matching codes.
- Time and location of the visit, including after-hours or emergency service.
Why choose us
- Fully mobile: we work at your gate, which is the only way to properly judge alignment, swing and latch fit.
- Lock expertise since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar.
- We fix the real cause, whether that's a worn cylinder, a sagging gate or a misaligned strike, instead of just swapping parts.
- We install and repair keypad and smart gate locks as well as traditional mechanical ones, so you can choose what fits.
- Plain-spoken advice: if a simple repair will do, we'll tell you rather than push a replacement.
- Available 24/7 for gates that won't secure or won't open.
Where we work
We serve gate lock customers across Greater Los Angeles: the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, the South Bay and Harbor area, the Westside, the Gateway Cities, and Central and South LA. Whether it's a side gate at a single-family home, a courtyard gate at an apartment building, or a fence gate at a business, we bring the tools and parts to you.
We also travel to parts of Ventura County. Because we're fully mobile and have no storefront, you don't need to bring the lock anywhere. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night, tell us where the gate is, and we'll talk through what's needed.
