About the service
Professional Garage Door Lock in Chatsworth
Most Chatsworth homes I work on have an attached garage with a service door on the side, and that door is almost always the weakest entry into the house. People put three deadbolts on the front and leave the garage side door on a builder-grade knob from the 1970s. Up here in the northwest corner of the Valley, against the Santa Susana hills, a lot of the housing stock is exactly that vintage, and the hardware shows its age.
The other common job is the manual lock on the garage itself. If you have an older tilt-up or roll-up door with a T-handle and a couple of slide bolts, those parts wear out, bend, or seize. When they break you either can't lock the garage or can't get it open. I handle both: the door from the garage into the living space, and the big door facing the street.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Chatsworth
When I show up, I start by walking the garage. I look at the side service door, the T-handle on the main door, the slide bolts, and how the door from the garage connects to the house. A snapped T-handle or a deadbolt that won't throw is the symptom; the real question is whether someone could get from the driveway into your kitchen, so I treat that interior door like an exterior one and put a solid Grade 2 deadbolt on it.
For the manual hardware on the big door, I match or replace the T-handle and slide-bolt assembly so it actually latches and so you can still lock it by hand when the power's out and the opener is dead. Most of these calls in Chatsworth wrap up in one trip. We're open around the clock, so if a broken handle left your garage stuck open overnight, call (818) 398-9391 and I'll come secure it.

Common questions
FAQ
What's the best lock for my garage side door?
A Grade 2 deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate. The side service door on most Chatsworth garages is the easiest way into the house, so I treat it like a real exterior door rather than relying on the knob lock it came with. I can key it to match your front door so you carry one key.
Will the garage still lock if the power goes out?
It will if the manual hardware is in good shape. Older tilt-up and roll-up doors here lock by hand with a T-handle and slide bolts that don't need electricity. If your opener is the only thing holding the door down, I'll add or repair the manual lock so you can secure the garage during an outage.
Is my attached garage actually a weak entry point?
Usually, yes. If the door from the garage into the house has a plain knob and no deadbolt, anyone who gets past the garage door is one cheap lock from your kitchen. I see this constantly on the older Valley homes around Chatsworth, and a deadbolt on that interior door fixes most of it.
Can you replace a broken T-handle on the garage door?
Yes. A snapped or seized T-handle is one of my common Chatsworth calls. I match the handle and slide-bolt assembly to your door, replace the worn parts, and make sure the latch throws and releases smoothly. Most of the time it's done in a single visit.
