A gate lock is easy to ignore until it stops working. Then the latch won't catch, the keypad goes blank, or the key turns but nothing releases. In Westlake Village, where so many homes, townhome communities and business properties rely on a gate as the first line of security, a failing lock is more than an annoyance. It can leave a property open overnight or lock a resident out of their own driveway.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around coming to the customer. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit. We bring tools and parts to your gate, diagnose what has failed, and repair it where it stands whenever that is the sensible fix.
Gate hardware lives outdoors, so it faces sun, sprinkler overspray, dust, and in lakeside areas, damp air that corrodes metal. We handle gate latches, pad-style and mortise gate locks, keypad and code locks, and smart gate locks, along with the related hardware that makes them work, such as strikes, hinges and closers. If a repair would only buy you a few weeks, we will say so and talk through replacement.
How it works in Westlake Village
- 1
Call and describe the gate
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the gate is doing: not latching, not unlocking, a dead keypad, a stuck key. Tell us the gate material and lock brand if you know them. We are available 24/7, so this works for a midnight lockout as well as a daytime repair.
- 2
We come to you
Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to your property with tools and common parts. There is no shop drop-off. You do not have to remove the lock or carry hardware anywhere.
- 3
Diagnose the real cause
Many gate lock problems are not the lock itself. A sagging gate can misalign the latch and strike. A swollen or corroded cylinder can bind. A keypad may only need fresh batteries or a wiring check. We check the whole assembly before recommending anything.
- 4
Repair, adjust or replace
If the lock can be cleaned, realigned, rekeyed or repaired reliably, we do that. If it is worn out, damaged or unsuited to outdoor use, we explain the options and install a replacement, including keypad or smart models.
- 5
Test and hand over
We cycle the gate repeatedly, test every key or code, and confirm the latch engages cleanly and the lock releases smoothly. For keypad and smart locks, we walk you through codes, batteries and any user settings so you are not left guessing.

What affects the price
- The type of lock: a basic mechanical latch is a different job from a keypad lock or a smart gate lock with its own power and connectivity.
- Whether the problem is the lock or the gate, since alignment, hinge or post issues can add work beyond the lock itself.
- Corrosion and wear. Hardware that has been exposed to damp or salty air for years may need parts replaced rather than serviced.
- Replacement versus repair, including the cost of the new lock, which depends on brand, grade and features.
- Whether keys need to be cut or rekeyed, or multiple gates need to be keyed alike.
- Time of service. Night, weekend and holiday calls are handled around the clock and may be priced differently than a scheduled visit.

- Owner and lead technician David Shar stands behind the work.
Gate Lock Repair across Westlake Village
Westlake Village is a mix of master-planned neighborhoods from the 1970s and 80s, gated estates, newer custom homes, condos and townhomes, and corporate office parks. That variety means gate lock work here looks different from street to street. In First Neighborhood and Three Springs, we see residential gates, side-yard latches and community entries that have weathered decades of California sun. On Westlake Island, lakefront homes often have gates, private docks and smart locks, and the damp lake air is hard on exposed metal. A gate or lock there may need corrosion cleaned out, a dying battery replaced, or the entire unit swapped for something that tolerates the environment.
We work throughout the 91361, 91362 and 91359 ZIP codes, which Westlake Village shares with Thousand Oaks. That covers homes and businesses near Westlake Blvd (SR-23), Lindero Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks Blvd and Agoura Rd, as well as properties just off the US-101 (Ventura Freeway). A typical call might be a lakefront owner who needs a gate, multipoint front lock and smart lock serviced together, a townhome HOA near The Promenade that needs common-area gates and mailbox locks rekeyed, or an office park that needs gate and access hardware updated after a tenant change.
If you are near Westlake Lake, The Shoppes at Westlake Village or the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, or anywhere else in town, call (323) 997-8867. We are mobile and answer around the clock.
