A gate is the first lock anyone meets at your property, and in Temple City it does a lot of quiet work. Side yard gates on 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, driveway gates on rebuilt houses, and shared pedestrian gates at newer townhomes all depend on a latch or lock that keeps working through sun, sprinkler spray, and years of daily use. When one starts to stick, drag, or refuse a key, it is usually fixable without replacing the whole gate.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads our work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We come to the gate, look at what is actually failing, and tell you plainly whether a repair, a rekey, or a new lock makes sense. We are available around the clock, which matters when a gate will not latch at night or a keypad stops responding.

Gate hardware has its own quirks compared with a front door. Outdoor locks face weather, dust, and misalignment from settling posts or sagging hinges. Keypad and smart gate locks add batteries, wiring, and settings that can be the real culprit. We handle traditional latches, keyed gate locks, keypad models, and smart gate locks, and we work on wood, wrought iron, aluminum, and chain-link gates.

How it works in Temple City

  1. 1

    Call and describe the gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour and tell us what the gate is doing: not latching, key will not turn, keypad dead, or lock hanging loose. Tell us the gate material and whether it swings, slides, or is a simple side gate. That helps us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to your Temple City property with tools and common gate hardware on board. There is no storefront trip and no need to take the lock off yourself first.

  3. 3

    Diagnose the real cause

    Many gate lock problems are alignment, not the lock itself. We check hinges, post movement, strike position, rust, and debris. For keypad or smart locks we also look at power, batteries, wiring, and programming before suggesting any replacement.

  4. 4

    Repair, rekey, or replace

    We explain your options in plain terms. A cleaned and adjusted latch may be all you need. If the lock is worn or damaged, we replace it, or we rekey it so old keys and codes no longer work, which is common after a tenant leaves or a contractor finishes.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the gate repeatedly, test every key or code, and confirm it latches securely from both sides. For keypads and smart locks, we set up codes with you and show you how to change them later.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic latch, a keyed gate lock, a keypad lock, and a smart gate lock involve different parts and labor.
  • Whether the problem is the lock or the gate itself, since hinge, post, or alignment work adds to a simple lock repair.
  • Gate material and style, because wrought iron, aluminum, wood, and sliding gates each need different mounting hardware.
  • Rekeying versus replacing: rekeying existing hardware usually involves less than installing new hardware.
  • The number of locks or gates at the property, such as a townhome complex with several shared gates.
  • Time of day and urgency, since after-hours emergency calls differ from scheduled work.

Why Temple City chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so repairs happen at your gate and not at a counter.
  • Available 24/7, including nights and weekends when a gate failure leaves a property open.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar guiding the work.
  • We diagnose before replacing, so you are not sold a new lock when an adjustment would solve it.
  • We work on keyed, keypad, and smart gate locks, so one call covers older and newer hardware.
  • We can set up simple key systems for properties with multiple gates, useful for small multi-unit buildings.

Gate Lock Repair across Temple City

Temple City is a quiet, residential valley-floor city, and much of its housing is single-story ranch and stucco homes from the 1950s and 1960s. In neighborhoods like Mission View Acres and the Camellia area, side gates and backyard gates on those older lots have often lived through decades of weather. Latches loosen, wood posts shift, and original hardware wears out. We repair or replace them, and rekey when you want old keys out of circulation.

The city is also changing. Teardown-rebuild homes and new townhomes and small apartment buildings are appearing, and each brings new gates, from driveway gates to shared pedestrian entries. For a property manager turning over a unit between tenants, a gate lock rekey or keypad code change is a practical part of the job. If you are finishing a new build, we can supply and set up gate locks along with the rest of the locksets and a simple master key plan.

Around Downtown Las Tunas Drive, shops and restaurants often have rear service gates and alley gates that need to stay secure but still work every day. Whether you are in ZIP code 91780 near Temple City Park or Live Oak Park, or off Rosemead Blvd, Baldwin Ave, Lower Azusa Rd, or Temple City Blvd, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Gate Lock Repair in Temple City — FAQs

Do you repair gate locks in Temple City at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through the problem and get a technician headed to your gate.
Can you fix a gate that will not latch without replacing the lock?
Often, yes. Gates commonly fail to latch because of sagging hinges, shifted posts, or a misaligned strike. We check alignment first and replace the lock only if it is actually worn or broken.
Do you work on keypad and smart gate locks?
Yes. We repair and install keypad and smart gate locks, including checking power, batteries, wiring, and programming, and setting up codes with you.
Can you rekey a gate lock after a tenant moves out?
Yes. Rekeying is a common turnover task for rental homes and apartment units. It makes old keys stop working without always needing new hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Do you handle gates on older ranch homes?
Yes. Many Temple City homes date from the 1950s and 1960s, and their wood or metal side gates often have worn original latches. We can repair them or install a sturdier modern lock.
Do I need to bring the lock to a shop?
No. We are mobile only and there is no storefront. We come to your property and work on the gate where it stands.
What affects the cost of gate lock repair?
The main factors are lock type, gate material, whether the gate itself needs adjustment, how many locks are involved, and the time of day. We explain the options before work starts.
Can you help a Las Tunas Drive business with a rear gate lock?
Yes. We handle commercial gate locks and rekeys for shops and restaurants, and can also help with storefront lockouts. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
