A gate is the first lock between your property and the street, and in Simi Valley it works hard. Side gates on tract homes, pool enclosure gates, driveway gates in planned communities, and rear gates on commercial lots all deal with sun, wind, dust, irrigation overspray, and daily use. A latch that no longer catches, a keypad that stops responding, or a lock cylinder that grinds when the key turns usually gets worse with time, and it can leave a yard, pool, or business open without anyone noticing.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar and our team bring that experience to gate hardware of all kinds. We handle repair first when it makes sense: replacing a worn latch, realigning a sagging gate, freeing a seized cylinder, or reprogramming a keypad. When a lock is past saving or no longer suits how you use the gate, we install a new one and explain the options plainly.

We are fully mobile. There is no shop to drive to, because we bring tools and common parts to your property. That matters for gates in particular, since the problem is often tied to the post, the hinge, the gate frame, or the ground, and the best way to diagnose it is to stand in front of it. We work around the clock, so a gate that will not secure at night does not have to wait until morning.

How it works in Simi Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what type of gate it is, what the lock or latch does or fails to do, and whether it is a manual key lock, a keypad, or a smart lock. Details like wood, vinyl, wrought iron, or aluminum, and whether the gate is shared or HOA-managed, help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    Come to you and inspect

    Our mobile technician comes to your property and looks at the whole assembly, not only the lock. We check the latch, strike, hinges, post alignment, and any wiring or batteries. Many gate lock complaints turn out to be a gate that has dropped slightly and no longer lines up.

  3. 3

    Explain repair versus replacement

    Before work begins, we tell you what we found and what your options are. If a repair will hold up, we say so. If the hardware is worn out, corroded, or the wrong type for the gate, we explain why and what a better fit would look like.

  4. 4

    Repair or install the hardware

    We repair or replace the lock, latch, or keypad unit, adjust the strike and alignment, and lubricate or weatherproof parts as appropriate. For keypad and smart gate locks, we set up codes or programming and make sure the unit responds reliably.

  5. 5

    Test, hand over keys and codes

    We cycle the gate repeatedly, check that it latches on its own where it should, and confirm that keys, codes, or app access all work. You receive working keys and a clear walkthrough of any new codes or settings before we leave.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock involved: a basic latch, a keyed gate lock, a keypad lock, and a smart or networked lock each involve different parts and labor.
  • Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or needs full replacement, including how corroded or worn it is.
  • The condition of the gate itself, since sagging hinges, shifted posts, or warped frames may need adjustment alongside the lock.
  • The material and style of the gate, such as wood, vinyl, tubular steel, wrought iron, or aluminum, which affects mounting and compatible hardware.
  • The time of day and urgency of the visit, since after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled work.
  • Whether the gate is part of an HOA or commercial property with required hardware standards or multiple units to match.

Why Simi Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so we diagnose the gate, post, and latch together on site instead of guessing from a description.
  • Open 24/7, which matters when a pool gate or business gate will not latch at night.
  • In business since 1987, with long experience across residential, commercial, and specialty lock work in Ventura County and Los Angeles.
  • Repair-first thinking: we fix what can be fixed and recommend replacement only when it is the sensible choice.
  • Comfort with keypad and smart gate locks as well as traditional keyed hardware, including reprogramming without damaging finishes.
  • Plain explanations of what we found and why, with no pressure to buy more than the gate needs.

Gate Lock Repair across Simi Valley

Simi Valley has a mix of gate situations. In Wood Ranch and Big Sky, newer gated and semi-gated developments often use HOA-standardized hardware, and more homeowners are moving to keypad and smart locks. When a unit in those communities needs reprogramming or a latch replaced, matching the finish and following community standards matters, and we work with that in mind. Homes in ZIP code 93065, which covers much of that side of town, often have side and pool gates that see steady daily use.

Older parts of town bring different challenges. In the Texas Tract and along streets near the 1970s ranch-style neighborhoods, side gates and backyard latches may be decades old, with worn hardware and posts that have shifted over time. In Santa Susana Knolls, rustic homes on winding lanes often have wood or custom gates that need hardware chosen to fit the existing frame rather than the other way around. In Bridle Path, larger lots and horse-property style fencing can mean longer gates and heavier latches.

We serve all of Simi Valley, from ZIP code 93063 near the Simi Valley Town Center and Madera Rd, to areas off Tapo Canyon Rd, Cochran St, and Sycamore Dr, and out toward the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. We also help businesses with rear lot gates and service entrances in strip retail and business parks. Wherever the gate is, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Simi Valley — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Simi Valley at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your gate at night, on weekends, or on holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the gate is doing.
Can you fix a keypad gate lock that stopped working?
Often, yes. Common causes include dead batteries, worn buttons, wiring problems, or a latch that no longer lines up. We check the whole assembly, then repair, reprogram, or replace the keypad as needed.
My gate latch won't catch anymore. Is it the lock?
Not always. In many Simi Valley yards, the gate has sagged or a post has shifted, so the latch and strike no longer meet. We look at alignment and hinges as well as the lock itself.
Do you work on smart gate locks in HOA communities like Wood Ranch?
Yes. We can reprogram or replace smart and keypad locks, and we take care to protect finishes and follow any hardware standards your community requires. Check with your HOA first if approval is needed.
Can you install a new lock on a gate that never had one?
Yes. We can install a keyed lock, keypad lock, or smart lock depending on the gate material and how you want to use it. We will recommend hardware that suits the frame and the weather exposure.
Do you handle pool gate locks?
We repair and install latches and locks on pool and yard gates. Pool gates may have specific safety requirements, so tell us it is a pool gate when you call at (323) 997-8867 so we can plan accordingly.
Do you service commercial gates too?
Yes. We help with rear lot, service, and enclosure gates at businesses, including strip retail and business parks. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe the setup.
Do I need to bring the gate to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. Our technician comes to your property and works on the gate where it stands.
