Professional Garage Door Lock in Malibu
Most Malibu homes that call us about a garage lock aren't worried about the big rolling door out front. They're worried about the little side door, the one that opens off the carport or onto a path between the house and the hillside. On a lot of properties along SR-1 that door is the real way in, and half the time it's wearing a knob lock that came with the house in the eighties.
The salt air doesn't help. We pull a lot of seized T-handles and corroded slide bolts off garages here, hardware that froze up because nobody used it after the spring rusted. If your garage shares a wall with the kitchen or a bedroom, it isn't really an outbuilding anymore. It's a second front door, and it should lock like one. That's the work we do.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Malibu
When we get there we start by figuring out how the garage actually gets used. If there's a side door, we check whether it's solid-core or hollow, how the frame sits, and whether a deadbolt will bite into something real or just into soft trim. For the overhead door we look at the T-handle and the slide bolts, because on older Malibu garages those are usually what failed. We'll show you what we see before we touch anything.
Most jobs are a same-visit fix: replace a broken T-handle, add a deadbolt to the side door, or install an inside slide bolt you can throw by hand. We carry hardware rated for coastal weather so it doesn't seize again next winter. Power outages happen out here when the wind comes up, so we make sure at least one lock works without electricity. We answer the phone day and night at (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Can you put a real lock on the garage side door?
Yes, and it's the most common call we get in Malibu. That side door usually has a basic knob lock from when the house was built. We add a graded deadbolt if the door and frame can hold one, and reinforce the strike so a shove doesn't pop it. If the door itself is hollow-core, we'll tell you, since a deadbolt on a flimsy door only does half the job.
Will the garage still lock if the power's out?
That's something we plan for out here, since the wind knocks power out along the coast. An electric opener is useless during an outage, so we make sure you have at least one manual lock – usually an interior slide bolt on the overhead door or a keyed deadbolt on the side door – that throws by hand with no electricity involved.
Is my attached garage really a weak entry point?
If it shares a wall with the house, yes, it's worth treating like a second front door. A lot of Malibu garages have a solid lock on the door to the house but a weak one on the door to the outside, which is backwards. We'd rather secure the outer door so nobody gets into the garage in the first place. We'll point out what we see when we walk it.
My T-handle broke – can you replace just that?
Usually, yes. The T-handle on an older overhead door is a common failure here because the spring inside corrodes from the salt air. We carry replacements and swap them on the spot, and we'll check the slide bolts and cable while we're at it, since those tend to seize for the same reason. No need to replace the whole door over one handle.
