About the service
Professional Gate Lock Service in Chatsworth
Up here in the northwest corner of the Valley, gate hardware works hard. The summers run hot and bone-dry against the rocky Santa Susana hills, and when the wind picks up it drives grit straight into every keyway and latch. A lot of Chatsworth lots sit on bigger parcels with long driveways, horse property, and side yards, so the gate is often the real front door. That means a cheap latch or a worn-out cylinder is the thing standing between your yard and the street.
We work on both driveway and pedestrian gates: keyed mortise locks, deadbolt-style gate boxes, and keypad units for people tired of fishing for keys with their hands full. Whether your gate is wrought iron, chain-link with a frame, or a wood-clad swing gate, we fit the lock to the gate, not the other way around.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Chatsworth
When we get to your gate, the first thing is figuring out whether the lock failed or the gate did. A surprising number of "broken" gate locks are actually a sagging gate that dropped a quarter inch and stopped lining up with the strike. We check the hinges, the post, and the swing before touching the cylinder, because no new lock fixes a gate that won't meet its catch. If it's truly the hardware, we look at corrosion, the keyway, and whether the original install was even rated for outdoor use.
From there it's a quick decision: clean and rekey what you have, swap in a weather-rated keyed lock, or move you to a keypad so tenants and family stop copying keys. Most straightforward gate jobs are same-day, and we carry common hardware so we're usually not sending you to wait on a part. We're available around the clock at (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
What kind of gate lock actually holds up to Chatsworth weather?
For an exposed gate out here you want hardware rated for outdoor use, not a repurposed indoor lock. We use corrosion-resistant keyed locks and sealed keypad units that shrug off the dry heat and the dust the Santa Ana winds carry. The bigger killer is grit getting into an unprotected keyway, so we'll also talk about a simple cover or the right lubricant to keep it from seizing again.
Can you put a keypad on my metal gate?
Yes. Keypads work on wrought iron, framed chain-link, and most swing or sliding metal gates, though the exact unit depends on whether your gate has the backing or post space to mount it. We bring the gate type into account and pick a weather-sealed keypad so the buttons don't quit on you after a couple of hot summers. No more handing out copies every time someone new needs in.
Why does my gate lock keep seizing up?
Usually one of two things. Either dust and grit have packed the keyway and worn the cylinder, which is common on exposed gates in this part of the Valley, or the gate has sagged and the bolt is binding against the strike because they no longer line up. We figure out which it is on site. If it's just the lock we can often clean and rekey it; if the gate dropped, we sort the alignment first.
I rent out a unit with a shared yard. How do I handle keys for tenants?
We see this a lot on Chatsworth properties with a back unit or shared side gate. The cleanest setup is a keypad with separate codes, so when a tenant moves out you change one code instead of re-cutting keys for everybody. If you'd rather stay with keys, we can rekey the gate to match your other locks and cut a controlled number of copies. Either way, you stay in charge of who has access.
