About the service
Professional Gate Lock Service in Moorpark
Most of the gate calls we get in Moorpark are side-yard and driveway gates on the newer tract homes east of the 23, where almost every backyard sits behind a stucco wall with a steel or vinyl gate. The problem is rarely the lock itself failing on its own. It's the dry summer heat baking the latch, then the winter rain getting into the keyway, and the gate frame shifting just enough on its hinges that the bolt stops lining up with the strike.
So a "broken" gate lock here usually means three things at once: a stiff or rusted cylinder, a gate that has sagged a quarter inch, and hardware that was never rated for outdoor exposure in the first place. We sort out which of those is actually causing your problem instead of just swapping the lock and hoping.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Moorpark
First thing on arrival, we open and close the gate a few times to watch how it moves. A gate that drops as it swings is telling us the hinges or post have shifted, and no lock fixes a sagging gate, so we check alignment before touching the cylinder. Then we look at the existing hardware: is the keyway seized from rust, or is the bolt just hitting the strike off-center? That decides whether you need a clean and re-key or a full replacement.
If you want a keypad instead of a key, we talk through what works on your gate material. Metal driveway gates and lighter pedestrian gates take different mounts, and a unit exposed to full Moorpark sun needs a weather-rated housing. Most repairs and standard installs are same-day. Call (818) 398-9391 and tell us keyed or keypad so we load the right parts.

Common questions
FAQ
What kind of gate lock actually holds up to Moorpark weather?
Outdoor-rated hardware with a sealed or shrouded cylinder. The killer here isn't one thing, it's the cycle: dry summer heat, then winter rain in the keyway. We install gate locks built for exterior exposure and, on keypad units, a weather-resistant housing so the electronics don't cook in the afternoon sun. Indoor-grade locks moved outside are usually why people are calling us a second time.
Can you put a keypad on a metal gate?
Yes. Metal gates are common on the driveways out here, and a keypad works fine on them, but the mount matters. A heavy steel driveway gate and a lighter pedestrian gate need different backing so the unit doesn't rattle loose. Tell us the gate material when you call (818) 398-9391 and we'll bring the right keypad and mounting hardware.
Why does my gate lock keep seizing up?
Two reasons we see constantly in Moorpark. One, grit and rust building up inside a keyway that's been rained on and then baked. Two, the gate has sagged on its hinges and the bolt is grinding against the strike instead of sliding in clean. We check both. If it's just the cylinder we clean and re-key it; if the gate has dropped, we realign it so the lock stops fighting the frame.
Can you set up shared keys for tenants using the same yard?
We can. If several people need into the same gate, we key everything alike so one key opens all of it, which beats handing out a different key for each lock. If you'd rather not deal with copies, a keypad lets you give each tenant a code and change it yourself when someone moves out. We'll walk you through both on site.
