A gate lock is one of the hardest-working pieces of hardware on a property. It sits outdoors, takes sun, sprinkler overspray and morning marine layer, gets slammed by guests and delivery drivers, and is expected to work every single time. In Tarzana, where driveway gates on the hillside estates south of Ventura Blvd sit alongside side-yard gates on 1950s ranch homes in the flats, the failures we see range from a latch that no longer catches to a keypad that has stopped responding altogether.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and gate hardware is a regular part of that work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We come to the gate, look at what is actually failing, and repair it where it stands whenever that makes sense. If a part is worn past saving, we will tell you plainly and talk through replacement options.

Our service covers both traditional and modern gate hardware: padlock hasps, drop latches, gravity latches, keyed gate locks, mechanical keypad locks, and smart or electronic locks tied into intercoms and access systems. Whether the gate guards a pool, a side yard, a driveway, or a commercial lot, the goal is the same: it closes, it latches, and only the right people can open it.

How it works in Tarzana

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what type of gate it is (swing, slide, pedestrian, driveway), what the lock does or fails to do, and whether it is a key, keypad, or smart lock. That helps us bring the right parts to Tarzana.

  2. 2

    Inspect the whole latch assembly

    Many gate lock complaints are really alignment problems. A sagging gate, a shifted post or a bent strike plate can make a good lock seem broken. We check hinges, latch, strike, and the lock body before deciding on the fix.

  3. 3

    Repair, rekey, or replace

    If the lock is sound, we may adjust, lubricate with a product suited to outdoor hardware, or rekey it. If it is corroded or worn, we replace it with hardware rated for outdoor use. You see the options before work begins.

  4. 4

    Set up keypad or smart features

    For keypad and smart gate locks, we program codes, remove old ones (for example after a housekeeper, contractor or tenant change), check batteries and connections, and confirm the lock works with any intercom or access equipment in place.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the gate repeatedly, confirm it latches on its own, and make sure every key or code you need works. You leave with working hardware and clear tips for keeping it that way.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic latch or padlock hasp is a different job than a keypad or smart lock integrated with an intercom.
  • Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or rekeyed, or has corroded or worn enough to need full replacement.
  • Gate condition and alignment, since sagging hinges or damaged posts and strike plates may need correction alongside the lock.
  • Material and exposure: steel, wrought iron, aluminum and wood gates each need suitable fasteners, and heavy sun or sprinkler exposure affects part choice.
  • Electronic complexity, including programming codes, connecting to existing access or intercom systems, and power or battery needs.
  • Time of service and site conditions, such as after-hours calls or a long hillside driveway, which can affect the scope of the visit.

Why Tarzana chooses us

  • Fully mobile 24/7 service: we work at your gate, not from a storefront, so repairs happen on site.
  • Operating since 1987 under owner and lead technician David Shar, with long experience across residential and commercial hardware.
  • We diagnose the whole gate, not just the lock, so you are not paying to replace a lock that was fine and only misaligned.
  • Comfortable with keypad and smart gate locks as well as old-fashioned mechanical latches, so one call covers either.
  • We explain options before we start and recommend repair over replacement when repair is the honest answer.

Gate Lock Repair across Tarzana

Tarzana splits into very different lock environments on either side of Ventura Blvd. South of the Boulevard, in the Santa Monica Mountains hillside, many custom homes and estates have driveway gates, pedestrian gates and intercoms. These are often smart-lock or keypad systems, and a common call is a code reset or rekey when household staff change. In the 91356 area near El Caballero and the country club, long driveways and hillside grades also mean gates see real mechanical stress.

North of Ventura, the Tarzana flats are full of 1950s ranch homes and apartment buildings, including blocks off Reseda Blvd, Tampa Ave, and Wilbur Ave. Side-yard gates, pool enclosures and alley gates there often carry old builder-grade latches that rust and loosen. In ZIP 91357 and neighboring streets, we frequently replace worn latches and add a keyed or keypad option so families do not rely on a rusty hook.

Along the Ventura Blvd medical and commercial corridor, near Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center, parking-lot gates, dumpster enclosures and rear access gates matter for businesses and professional suites. We can service those as well, whether you are reaching us from off US-101, Mulholland Dr, or a side street like Lindley Ave or Corbin Ave. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.

Gate Lock Repair in Tarzana — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Tarzana at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through the problem and get a technician headed your way.
Can you fix a keypad gate lock that stopped working?
Often, yes. Common causes are dead batteries, worn buttons, moisture, or a failed latch mechanism. We check each one and either repair the unit or replace it with outdoor-rated hardware.
My driveway gate in the hills south of Ventura Blvd has a smart lock. Can you reset codes after staff changes?
Yes. We can remove old codes, add new ones, and where the lock is keyed, rekey it. We also check the lock works with any intercom or access system. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule.
Should I repair or replace my gate latch?
If the latch is sound and just misaligned or dry, repair is usually enough. If it is rusted, bent or worn out, replacement is the better value. We tell you which applies after inspecting it.
Why does my gate lock stick or not catch?
Frequently the gate has sagged or the post has shifted, so the latch and strike no longer line up. Corrosion and debris also cause sticking. We check alignment before replacing anything.
Do you service gates at commercial properties along Ventura Blvd?
Yes. We handle gates for parking areas, rear access, and enclosures at businesses and professional offices, as well as residential gates.
Can you install a new gate lock, not just repair one?
Yes. We install keyed, keypad and smart gate locks and latches. We help match the lock to your gate material, usage, and how many people need access.
Do I need to come to a shop for gate lock repair?
No. We are mobile only and there is no storefront. We come to your Tarzana property. To get started, call (323) 997-8867.
