About the service
Professional Gate Lock Service in San Fernando
A gate lock in San Fernando lives outside year-round, and the Valley climate is hard on it. Dry, dusty summers bake grit into the keyway; the few wet weeks of winter flash rust across cheap zinc latches. By the time most people call us, the key already fights going in, or the bolt only throws halfway. That is normal wear for hardware sitting in the sun a block off I-5, not a sign you bought the wrong gate.
We work on both kinds people have here: the heavy driveway gate, often steel tube and tired hinges, and the smaller side or pedestrian gate into a back yard. Each fails differently. The big one usually sags until the latch misses the strike; the little one seizes from disuse. We diagnose the actual gate at your address rather than guessing, because a fix that holds in this heat is the only one worth doing.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in San Fernando
First thing on arrival, we swing the gate and watch the latch line up. Half the "bad lock" calls near Sylmar and Pacoima are really alignment: a dropped hinge or a leaning post means the bolt and strike no longer meet, and no lock survives being forced into a gap. We square that up, then test the mechanism cold before deciding whether it needs cleaning, rebuilding, or replacing.
If the lock is genuinely seized, we pull it, free or swap the cylinder, and fit hardware rated for outdoor exposure so the next dusty summer does not undo the work. Want a keypad instead of carrying a key to the gate? We talk through a weatherproof keyed-plus-code unit that suits a metal gate. Most single-gate jobs wrap in one visit. We cover San Fernando and the surrounding Valley, and we answer the phone at (818) 398-9391 around the clock when a gate locks you out at a bad hour.

Common questions
FAQ
What kind of lock holds up outdoors on a San Fernando gate?
Look for a lock rated for exterior use with a stainless or coated body, not a bare zinc latch from a hardware bin. Out here the killer is dust and sun more than rain, so a sealed keyway matters. We bring outdoor-grade hardware and match it to whether it's a wood pedestrian gate or a steel driveway gate.
Can you put a keypad on my metal gate?
Yes. We fit weatherproof keypad locks made for metal gates, usually a keyed-plus-code unit so you still have a physical key backup if the battery dies. We confirm the gate frame can carry it and that the bolt lines up with the strike before mounting, so the code unlocks cleanly every time.
Why does my gate lock keep seizing up?
Two common reasons here. One, Valley dust packs into the keyway and the bolt channel and dries hard, so the mechanism binds. Two, a gate that's drifted out of alignment forces the bolt sideways every turn until it jams. We clean and lubricate the lock and fix the swing so it stops happening.
Can my tenants share keys to the back gate?
We can rekey the gate lock so a single key works for everyone who needs the yard, or set one shared keypad code you can change when someone moves out. For a shared-access setup we'll talk through what you want each person to be able to reach before we cut anything.
