About the service
Professional Gate Lock Service in Granada Hills
Granada Hills sits up against the foothills at the north edge of the Valley, and the gates here earn their keep. Long driveways behind block walls, side gates on the bigger lots out past the equestrian streets, wrought-iron pedestrian gates that have baked in full afternoon sun since the seventies. A gate lock lives outside year-round, so it fails differently than a front door does.
What we get called for changes with the season. Late summer the metal expands and the bolt drags. Come the first real rain off the foothills, water finds the keyway and the cylinder gums up by morning. Then there's the slow problem: a heavy gate settling on its hinges until the latch no longer lines up with the strike. Different causes, same locked-out homeowner standing in the driveway.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Granada Hills
First thing we do is work the gate, not just the lock. Half the "broken lock" calls in Granada Hills are actually a sagging gate or a strike that's drifted out of true, and no new cylinder fixes that. We lift, swing, and watch where the bolt meets the frame before anyone talks about parts. If the gate's dropped, we shim or re-hang so the latch catches clean.
Once the gate hangs right, we deal with the hardware. Seized keyed cylinders that have rusted get flushed, lubricated, and tested, or swapped for a weather-rated mortise or padlock if the body's too far gone. For a keypad, we mount a sealed, outdoor-rated unit and run the wiring or batteries so weather stays out. Shared yards behind one fence get rekeyed to a single key or set up with codes you can change when a tenant moves.

Common questions
FAQ
What kind of gate lock actually holds up to Granada Hills weather?
For an exterior gate up here you want a weather-rated unit, not a recycled interior lock. We fit sealed mortise cylinders, marine-grade padlocks, or outdoor keypads with gasketed housings that keep rain and dust out of the mechanism. Full foothill sun is just as hard on a lock as the rain, so we use hardware built for both and lubricate the keyway with a dry, non-gumming product that won't attract grit.
Can you put a keypad on my metal gate?
Yes. On a wrought-iron or steel gate we mount an outdoor-rated keypad and either run low-voltage wiring or use a sealed battery unit, depending on whether there's power at the gate. We pick a spot that's reachable but shaded from direct afternoon sun, since heat shortens battery and electronics life. You get a code you can change yourself, which is handy for a driveway gate the whole household uses.
Why does my gate lock keep seizing up?
Three usual culprits in Granada Hills. Rain off the foothills works into an unprotected keyway and corrodes the cylinder. Summer heat expands the metal so the bolt binds against the strike. And a heavy gate slowly settling on its hinges throws the latch out of alignment, which feels like a stuck lock but isn't. We figure out which one it is before replacing anything, so the fix actually lasts.
Can the gate to a shared yard use one key for all the tenants?
It can. For a duplex, back house, or any shared yard behind one fence, we rekey the gate so a single key works for everyone who needs in. If you'd rather not hand out keys, a keypad lets you give each tenant a code and change it the day someone moves out. Either way old keys or codes stop working, so you're not chasing down hardware after a turnover.
