Locks and homes in Sunland

Sunland sits at the western mouth of the Crescenta Valley, with the Verdugo Mountains on one side and the San Gabriels rising behind it. It still has a semi-rural feel: big lots, horse-keeping properties, small cabins from the early twentieth century next to newer houses, and Sunland Park as the town's meeting point.

On a property with horses, the house is only one of the doors. Owners here ask us to put the front door, the barn, the tack room, the feed shed and the pedestrian gate on one key, or to split them so a trainer or farrier can open the stable without getting into the house. Outdoor padlocks and gate locks take a beating from dust, sun and the winter rain, so we lean on weather-rated padlocks and gate hardware that will still turn in five years. The older cabins and canyon houses often have doors that were never fitted with a proper deadbolt, or a thin frame that cannot hold one until the strike is reinforced. And with long driveways and remote lots, a car key lost at home is a bigger problem than it is in town: we make and program replacements at the car.

How fast

Getting to Sunland

About twelve miles, so 25 to 40 minutes: the 14 to the 5, then the 210 east to the Sunland Boulevard exit. One of the shorter runs for us outside the Santa Clarita Valley.

Questions

Sunland locksmith questions

Can my barn, tack room and gate share a key with the house?

Yes, as long as the locks are compatible or we swap the odd ones. We can also set it up so a trainer's key opens the barn and gate but not the house.

My outdoor padlocks keep seizing up. What works better?

Weather-rated padlocks with shrouded shackles and stainless or brass internals hold up far better in the dust and rain here. We can key them all alike so one key opens every padlock on the property.

Can you come up the canyon roads past Sunland proper?

Yes. Text us the address or a map pin first, since some canyon lots are hard to find, then call so we can confirm the arrival time.
