About the service
Professional Gate Lock Service in Burbank
A gate lock lives outside, so it ages differently than the one on your front door. In Burbank you get long stretches of dry heat that bake the grease out of a latch, then a few weeks of marine layer in spring that puts moisture into the works. Add a steel gate that expands in the afternoon sun and you end up with a key that turns fine in the morning and binds by 4pm. The hillside streets up toward the Verdugos see more of that swing than the flatter blocks down by the media studios.
Most of our gate calls fall into a handful of patterns: a keyed deadlatch that has seized, a heavy driveway gate that has dropped on its hinges so the bolt no longer lines up, or a landlord who wants a keypad instead of handing out copies. We work all of those across the 91501 through 91506 area.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Burbank
First thing we do is figure out whether the lock failed or the gate did. A lot of "broken" gate locks are actually a sagging frame, and swapping the lock without shimming the hinge or adjusting the strike just means you call us again in a month. So we open and close it a few times, watch where the bolt catches, and check the post for rust at the weld. That tells us if this is a five-minute lubrication and alignment job or a hardware replacement.
If you need new hardware, we carry weather-rated locks and keypads built for an outdoor gate, not the interior stuff a hardware store sells. We're based here, so reaching Burbank off the I-5 or the 134 is quick, and we run nights and weekends. Same-visit fixes are the norm; a custom keypad or an odd European gate cylinder may take a short return trip for parts.

Common questions
FAQ
Is there a lock that actually holds up to the weather on an outdoor gate?
Yes. We fit weather-rated gate locks with sealed or marine-grade cylinders meant to sit in the sun and the spring marine layer. In Burbank the killer is usually grit and dried grease more than rain, so we set you up with hardware that takes lubrication and won't gum up by August.
Can you put a keypad on a metal gate?
We do it regularly. A steel driveway or pedestrian gate needs a keypad built for an outdoor mount, either hardwired or long-life battery, and we'll position it so the sun doesn't cook the buttons. We program the codes and test it open and closed before we leave.
Why does my gate lock keep seizing up?
Usually one of two things. Either the steel gate expands in Burbank's afternoon heat and pushes the bolt out of line, or years of dust have turned the old grease into a paste inside the cylinder. We figure out which it is, because a misaligned gate needs the hinge or strike adjusted, not just a new lock.
I rent out a unit with a shared yard. Can tenants get their own access?
Yes. We can re-key every gate to a single key, or install a keypad and give each tenant their own code so you can change one without re-keying the whole property. That's a common setup for the duplexes and small apartment courts around the Burbank flats.
