About the service
Professional Garage Door Lock in North Hollywood
A lot of homes around NoHo were built with the garage attached and a side door that opens straight into the kitchen or a back hallway. People forget that door. The roll-up gets all the attention, but the little side door with a builder-grade knob is usually the soft spot, and on an attached garage that knob is the difference between a thief poking around your bikes and a thief standing inside your house.
We see this constantly across the Valley, from the older bungalows near the Arts District to the 1950s ranch homes off the side streets. The fix is rarely dramatic. Often it's a real deadbolt on the side door, a slide bolt on the overhead, and replacing a tired pull mechanism so the whole thing actually latches when you yank it down.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in North Hollywood
First thing we do is look at the garage the way someone walking your alley would. Is the side door hollow-core with a turn-button knob? Does the overhead door have a working T-handle, or did the lock barrel spin out years ago? Can the manual lock still be operated from inside when the power's out and the opener won't run? Those three questions decide most of the work.
From there it's straightforward. A side door gets a grade-rated deadbolt, properly aligned so it throws fully into the strike. A broken T-handle gets swapped for a new one with a fresh cylinder. For the overhead itself we'll add a slide bolt or a flip-down lock you can engage by hand. Same-day on standard hardware is the norm here, and we'll tell you on the phone if your handle is a common size before we drive out.

Common questions
FAQ
What lock should go on my garage side door?
For a side door that opens into the house, a solid grade-rated deadbolt is the right call, not just a keyed knob. If the door is hollow-core we'll tell you, since even a good deadbolt is only as strong as the door and frame it sits in. We carry standard residential deadbolts and can usually fit one the same day.
Can I still lock the garage manually if the power's out?
Yes, and you should be able to. Many openers have a release cord but no actual lock, so the door can be lifted from outside. We install a slide bolt or a flip-down manual lock on the overhead door that you engage by hand, so an outage or a dead opener motor doesn't leave the garage open.
Is an attached garage really a weak entry point?
Often, yes. The overhead door and a flimsy side door get far less attention than the front door, and on attached homes that side door leads straight inside. If someone gets through the garage, they're working out of sight. That's why we treat the garage-to-house door as a real exterior door, not an afterthought.
My T-handle broke off, can you replace just that?
We can. A snapped T-handle or a cylinder that spins without catching is a common repair on older overhead doors around here. We replace the handle and lock assembly and re-key it so you have working keys again, rather than making you buy a whole new garage door.
