A gate lock in Sun Valley works harder than most. Along San Fernando Road and the industrial corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport, a gate is often the only thing between a yard full of equipment, parts or inventory and the street. When a latch sticks, a padlock hasp is pried, or a keypad stops responding, the problem is rarely just inconvenience. It is an open perimeter.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen nearly every way a gate lock can fail: rust and grit in a latch, a swing gate that has sagged until the bolt no longer lines up, a chain cut through, a keypad fried by weather, or a smart lock that lost its connection. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We bring the tools and hardware to your gate and work on site.

We also handle the residential side of Sun Valley, from side-yard and driveway gates at postwar homes to the older properties near Stonehurst. Whether the gate guards a recycling yard or a backyard, the goal is the same: a lock that works every time and is hard to defeat.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night. Tell us what type of gate it is (swing, slide, chain-link, steel or wood), what lock is on it, and what is going wrong. That helps us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    Check security and alignment

    On arrival we look at the whole latch setup, not only the lock. Sagging hinges, a shifted post, a bent strike or a damaged hasp are often the real cause of a lock that will not catch.

  3. 3

    Repair or replace the lock

    If the lock can be repaired reliably, we repair it. If it is worn, corroded or compromised after a break-in, we explain why and recommend replacement, such as a hardened padlock, a heavier gate latch or a commercial-grade keypad lock.

  4. 4

    Keypad and smart lock setup

    For keypad and smart gate locks, we check power, wiring or batteries, weather exposure and programming. We set new codes and make sure the lock behaves correctly before we leave.

  5. 5

    Rekey or re-code as needed

    After staff turnover, lost keys or a theft, we rekey or reset codes so old keys and shared codes stop working. We can often keep gates on a common key to simplify daily use.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the gate several times, test the lock from both sides where it applies, and show you how everything works. You leave with a gate that closes, latches and locks properly.

What affects the price

  • The type of gate and lock involved: a basic latch, a hardened padlock and hasp, a keypad unit and a smart lock each need different parts and labor.
  • Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or must be replaced, including damage from forced entry or heavy corrosion.
  • Gate condition, since sagging, bent frames or shifted posts may need correcting before any lock will work reliably.
  • Security grade of the replacement hardware, from standard residential to heavy-duty commercial or industrial-rated.
  • The number of locks or gates to be rekeyed, re-coded or matched to one key.
  • Time of day and urgency, because after-hours emergency calls are handled differently than scheduled work.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your gate in Sun Valley, so you are not trying to move a gate or lock to a shop.
  • Experience since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, personally involved in the work.
  • We fix the cause, looking at alignment, hinges and strikes instead of only swapping the lock.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a yard gate is broken open at night and cannot be left unsecured.
  • Comfortable with both traditional hardware and keypad or smart gate locks, so you do not need two vendors.
  • Straight advice on repair versus replacement, with the reasoning explained before work begins.

Gate Lock Repair across Sun Valley

Sun Valley sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, and much of it is built around work: warehouses, manufacturing, auto-dismantlers and recycling yards along San Fernando Road and the corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport. For these properties, gate locks take real abuse. An auto-dismantler that has had a break-in needs heavy-duty hardened padlocks and a gate latch that cannot be easily cut or pried. A warehouse near the airport may need its man-door and yard gate rekeyed after staff turnover so former employees no longer have access.

Residential areas have their own needs. Stonehurst, with its 1920s stone and clinker-brick houses, often has original hardware and older side or driveway gates that deserve careful, sympathetic upgrades rather than something that looks out of place. Working-class postwar homes elsewhere in the 91352 ZIP code commonly have chain-link or wood gates with worn latches that no longer hold, and we can fix or replace them.

We reach properties off Glenoaks Boulevard, Sunland Boulevard, Vineland Avenue and San Fernando Road, with I-5 and CA-170 giving access across the area, and we also serve the foothill edge near La Tuna Canyon. Whether your gate is near the LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks or a quiet residential street, call (323) 997-8867.

Gate Lock Repair in Sun Valley — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Sun Valley at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to your gate, whether it is a weekday afternoon or the middle of the night.
Can you fix a yard gate after a break-in?
Yes. We assess the damage to the lock, hasp, chain and gate frame, secure the gate, and recommend hardened hardware if the old components were cut or pried. This is common for yards along San Fernando Road.
Do you work on keypad and smart gate locks?
Yes. We repair, replace and program keypad and smart gate locks, including checking power, weather damage and codes. If you are unsure what you have, call (323) 997-8867 and describe it.
My gate latch will not catch. Is the lock broken?
Not always. A sagging gate, loose hinge or shifted post often keeps the latch from lining up. We check alignment first so we fix the real cause.
Can you rekey gate locks after employee turnover?
Yes. We rekey or reset codes so old keys and shared codes stop working, and can often put several gates and doors on one key for convenience.
Can you upgrade gate hardware at an older Stonehurst home?
Yes. We can repair or replace latches and locks on older gates and pair them with sympathetic deadbolt upgrades for original 1920s hardware, keeping the home's character.
Do I need to bring the lock to a shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. Our technician comes to your gate with tools and hardware and works on site.
How do I know whether to repair or replace?
We look at wear, corrosion, security level and any forced-entry damage, then explain the options before starting. For questions in advance, call (323) 997-8867.
