About the service
Professional Garage Door Lock in Encino
In a lot of Encino homes south of the 101, the garage isn't a detached box at the back of the lot. It's bolted to the house, with a connecting door straight into the kitchen or laundry room. That makes the garage your second front door, and people almost never lock it like one. A roll-up with a busted T-handle and a hollow side door with a builder-grade knob is a soft spot a teenager could open in under a minute.
We get called for the small stuff that turns into break-ins. A T-handle that spins but won't latch. A slide bolt rusted open. A side door that swings free because the strike plate pulled loose years ago. None of it looks urgent until someone notices the garage from the alley. We fix the door you actually walk through, not just the one facing the street.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Encino
When we pull up, the first thing we check is how the garage connects to the rest of the house. An attached garage with a door into a hallway gets treated as an entry point: solid-core or metal door, a real Grade 2 deadbolt, a strike plate screwed into the framing instead of the jamb trim. The roll-up itself we lock with a center T-handle and a cylinder, or a pair of slide bolts that throw into the track on both sides so the panel can't be lifted.
Most of these jobs wrap in one visit. We carry deadbolts, T-handles, slide bolts, and replacement cylinders on the van, so a side-door fix or a new manual lock for power outages usually takes under an hour. We work across Encino and into Tarzana and Lake Balboa, days and nights, same phone number every time: (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
What lock should go on my garage side door in Encino?
A solid door with a real deadbolt, same as any exterior entry. A lot of Encino side doors are hollow with just a knob, which is why we usually pair a Grade 2 deadbolt with a strike plate screwed deep into the framing. If the door itself is hollow-core, we'll tell you straight, since a strong lock on a flimsy door doesn't buy you much.
Can I lock the garage manually if the power goes out?
Yes, and you should be able to. When the opener loses power the motor unit stops holding the door, so we install a keyed center T-handle or slide bolts that throw into the track by hand. You lock it with a key or a thumb-turn, no electricity needed. We show you how before we leave so it's not a guessing game during the next outage.
Is my attached garage really a weak entry point?
Often it's the weakest one. In Encino homes where the garage opens straight into the kitchen or laundry, the connecting door is frequently hollow with a cheap knob, and the roll-up has no working lock at all. Once someone's inside the garage, they're working out of sight of the street. We treat that connecting door like a front door because functionally it is one.
My garage T-handle broke. Can you replace just that?
Absolutely. A T-handle that spins freely, won't latch, or snapped off is one of our most common garage calls. We carry center T-handles and matching cylinders on the van, so most replacements are done in a single visit, usually under an hour. While we're there we'll check that the locking bars still seat into the track, since a bent rail can make even a brand-new handle useless.
