About the service
Professional Gate Lock Service in Woodland Hills
Gate hardware out here lives a hard life. Woodland Hills gets long stretches of dry triple-digit heat through the summer, then the sprinklers hit the same latch every morning, and the metal expands, contracts, and slowly corrodes. A lock that was smooth in March can be gritty by August. On the hillside lots up toward the south end of the Valley, heavy iron driveway gates settle on their hinges over the years, and suddenly the deadlatch no longer lines up with the strike.
We handle the gate hardware most companies skip. That means rusted padlocks frozen onto a chain, keyed gate locks that turn halfway and stop, surface-mounted latches on a side pedestrian gate, and weatherproof keypad units for homeowners tired of carrying a separate key. If you can't get into your own yard, we come out and sort it.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Woodland Hills
First thing we do is figure out whether the lock is actually failing or the gate has shifted. A sagging gate that won't latch is a hinge and alignment problem dressed up as a lock problem, and swapping the lock alone won't fix it. We check the swing, the gap at the strike, and whether the post has leaned. If it's genuinely the lock, we'll tell you whether it can be cleaned and re-greased or whether the internals are too far gone.
For replacements we steer you toward marine-grade or coated hardware that survives the heat-and-sprinkler cycle, not the cheap zinc latch from the big-box store that seizes again by next summer. Keypad on a metal gate is doable; we mount a weather-sealed unit and run it cleanly. Most single-gate jobs in the Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, and Warner Center area wrap in one visit, and we run 24/7 if you're locked out of your own property. Call (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Will a weatherproof lock actually hold up to Woodland Hills summers?
A real one will. The problem with most gate locks isn't the heat by itself – it's the heat plus daily sprinkler spray on bare zinc hardware. We install marine-grade or coated locks built for outdoor exposure, and we point the cylinder away from the spray when the post allows it. That combination outlasts the generic latch most gates come with by years.
Can you put a keypad on my metal gate?
Yes. We mount a weather-sealed keypad lock rated for outdoor use directly to the gate or the adjacent post, depending on the frame. Solid steel and tube-frame gates are both workable. We seal the entry point against water, run the install cleanly, and walk you through changing the code so you're not stuck calling us to do it later.
Why does my gate lock keep seizing up?
Three usual causes out here: rust from sprinkler overspray, fine grit baked into dry grease over a hot summer, and a gate that has sagged so the bolt binds in the strike. We figure out which one it is. If it's grit or rust we clean and re-grease it properly; if the gate has dropped, no amount of lubricant fixes it until the alignment is corrected.
Can tenants share keys for a gate to the same yard?
They can. For a shared yard we can key the gate so every tenant carries the same working key, or set it up keyed-alike with another door if that's simpler for you. If turnover is a concern, a keypad with a code you can change between tenants is often the cleaner option – we'll lay out both and let you pick.
