About the service
Professional Garage Door Lock in Pasadena
A lot of Pasadena homes were built with the garage hanging off the side of the house, and somewhere along the way that became the soft spot. The roll-up gets all the attention, but the little side door into the yard is what gets jimmied, and the manual T-handle on an older single-bay door snaps off in your hand on a cold morning. We deal with both. If your garage shares a wall or an interior door with the living space, it isn't really a garage anymore. It's a second front door, and it should lock like one.
We work the full mix you find around here: vintage California bungalows with original wood side doors, mid-century ranch garages, and condo and townhome setups closer to the central corridors. No two are the same hardware.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Pasadena
First thing we do is figure out how someone would actually get in, not just look at what broke. The side door usually needs a real deadbolt instead of the builder-grade knob lock, and if the jamb is soft wood we'll talk about a longer strike and three-inch screws before we hang new hardware. On a snapped T-handle we match the spindle length and the bolt run so the new one throws into the existing track without you fighting it.
If you've lost power and the opener won't release, we sort the manual disconnect and add a slide bolt or a lock you can throw by hand, so a dead motor never leaves the door free-floating. Most of this is same-day. We cover Pasadena and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley, days, nights, and weekends, and you can reach a person at (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
What kind of lock should go on my garage side door?
On most Pasadena side doors we put a proper grade-2 deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate, because the original knob lock and short builder screws pull out of the jamb under a shoulder. If the door is original wood and the frame is soft, we reinforce the strike side too. That side door opens to the yard where nobody can see it, so it deserves the same lock you'd trust on your front entry.
Can I still lock the garage if the power is out?
Yes, and you should be able to. When the opener loses power the carriage releases on the manual disconnect, which can leave a roll-up door free to slide up by hand. We add a slide bolt or a keyed manual lock that throws into the track, so an outage or a tripped breaker never leaves the door sitting unsecured. We'll show you the disconnect and how the manual lock works before we leave.
Is my attached garage really a weak entry point?
Often, yes. If your garage shares an interior door with the house, a burglar only has to beat the garage door and then the inside door, and that inside door is usually a hollow-core knob lock nobody upgraded. We treat an attached garage as a second front door: solid deadbolt on the connecting door and a real lock on the garage itself, not just the opener.
My garage T-handle broke off, can you replace just that?
We can. A snapped or seized T-handle on a manual garage door is a common call, especially on older single-bay doors around here. We match the handle to the spindle length and the bolt run so it throws cleanly into the existing track instead of binding. If the locking rods or the latch points are also worn we'll let you know, but in a lot of cases it's a straight handle-and-spindle swap done same day.
