How can you rekey a gate lock when the gate is locked and you lost the key?
This is generally a job for a locksmith. You can't "cut" the lock on a door or gate to get in and replace it like you can with a padlock or combination lock. It costs a bit of money to have someone come out to your house, but unless you can get the whole mechanism off the gate or door, you'll have to have a pro come out to handle the job. (If you can get to the "back" or "operating" side of the lock and remove it, you can take the whole thing in to a locksmith and get a key made for a lot less than having a technician come out.) Oh, and when you get things squared away, get an extra key or two and have them strategically placed for this kind of emergency. Good luck.

How can you replace the rear gate lock on a 1994 Lumina Van so that it does not take 2 different keys to open the doors and the gate?
Replacing a lock does not necessarily mean you have to have separate keys. There are two ways to go about it. You could go to a dealer and order a replacement cylinder. They can match it to your key. The downside to this is that, as any dealer part, this will be expensive. You could also buy a new cylinder and take it to a locksmith that specializes in automotive locks. They should be able to rekey the cylinder to your existing key.
How do I change a car lock if keys are stolen?
You stated they were stolen; not lost. This means someone has your keys and knows your car. Call a locksmith and have them rekey each lock. You may want to change the ignition lock too so you won't have to use two separate keys to operate your car. I do not know the cost, but the locksmith will tell you on the phone. I am in the same situation and the dealer told me it was cheaper for an independent locksmith to do this for you, plus they will come to you. If you had a remote stolen also, then go to a dealership that sells your model and they will give or order you a new one and will change the frequency for free. The cost of a new remote is about $100.
