About the service
Professional Gate Lock Service in Pasadena
A gate lock has a harder life than the one on your front door. It sits in full sun, takes the wind off the San Gabriels, and on the older Craftsman and bungalow lots around Pasadena it's often bolted to a wrought-iron gate that's been there for decades. Pasadena doesn't get coastal salt air, but the daily swing from dry afternoons to cool nights still works on cheap latch springs and lets surface rust creep into the pins.
So a gate lock problem is rarely just the lock. A side-yard gate that won't latch usually has a sagging hinge or a post that's shifted, not a broken cylinder. We come look at the gate as a whole. Whether it's a pedestrian gate by the walkway or a wide driveway gate, we'll tell you straight whether the hardware needs swapping or the gate itself needs help first.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Pasadena
First thing we do is work the gate by hand before touching the lock. If the latch misses the strike or you have to lift the gate to turn the key, the alignment is the real issue, and a new lock alone won't fix it. We check the hinges, the post, and how far the gate has dropped, then square that up so the bolt lines up clean. A lot of "broken lock" calls in Pasadena end here.
Then we deal with the hardware. A seized, rust-frozen cylinder sometimes flushes and rekeys; if it's too far gone, we swap it for a weather-rated keyed lock or a mechanical keypad so nobody's fishing for a key in the dark. For a shared yard or a tenant situation we set everyone up on matching keys or one code. Most visits wrap same day. We answer at (818) 398-9391 around the clock.

Common questions
FAQ
What kind of gate lock actually holds up to Pasadena weather?
Full sun and the dry-to-cool daily swing are what kill cheap gate hardware here, not salt. We fit weather-rated locks with stainless or coated internals so the springs and pins don't corrode. On a metal gate we also keep moisture from sitting in the cylinder, which is where most seizing starts.
Can you put a keypad on a metal gate?
Yes. Mechanical keypads work well on wrought-iron and steel gates and need no wiring or battery, so there's nothing to die on a wide driveway gate far from power. We mount it solid, set your code, and show you how to change it later. Good fit for a gate the whole household uses.
Why does my gate lock keep seizing up?
Two usual reasons. One is rust working into a cylinder that's exposed all day. The other is alignment, when the gate has sagged and you're forcing the key against a misaligned bolt, which wears the lock fast. We check both, because lubricating a seized lock on a crooked gate just buys you a few weeks.
Can my tenants and I share keys for the same side gate?
We rekey the gate so one key works for everyone, or set a single keypad code if you'd rather skip keys entirely. If someone moves out, we rekey or change the code so old keys stop working. Common request on the multi-unit and back-house properties around Pasadena.
