Garage, side-gate and back-door locks
Back doors, side gates and garage entry doors tend to get less attention than the front door, yet they are often where intruders try first. A spring latch on a back door can sometimes be slipped with a thin tool, and a garage service door usually leads straight into the house.
On a visit in 90601 we can fit a deadbolt to a secondary door, swap a worn gate lock for a weather-resistant padlock or keyed latch, and key everything alike so the same key works on the front, back and garage. If a door frame is soft or split, we will point that out, because even a strong lock cannot hold in a weak frame.
Hillside driveways and long side yards can make it hard to see which door a technician should come to, especially after dark. Turning on a porch light and telling us which entrance is locked saves time. If your home has a detached garage or a pool gate, mention it when you call so we bring suitable padlocks and outdoor-rated hardware. Homeowners who have just bought in the area often combine a full rekey with a deadbolt upgrade on the back door in a single visit, which keeps the call-out to one trip.

Questions from 90601
Can you match my garage door lock to my house key?
Usually yes, if the cylinders share a compatible keyway. Otherwise we can supply a matching cylinder.
Do you fix side-gate latches that will not catch?
Yes. Often the post has shifted and the latch only needs realigning, which we will check first.
