Lock installation is different from a rekey or a repair. Here there is nothing to match: a new door, a freshly built gate, a converted garage, a barn, a detached office or a side entry that was never secured. The job starts with a question: what is this door for, and who needs to get through it? A bedroom privacy lock, a front entry deadbolt and a tack room padlock hasp are three very different answers.

Agoura Hills has an unusually wide mix of properties for a single city. Many homes are 1970s and 1980s tract builds with standard bored door preps. Old Agoura has semi-rural horse properties, barns and gated ranch homes. Hillside custom homes sit toward Ladyface Mountain, townhomes cluster around Lake Lindero, and aluminum-storefront retail lines Agoura Road and Kanan Road. Each of these calls for different hardware, and we choose it to fit the door and the use, not to push one product everywhere.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit, so everything happens at your door. We are available around the clock, whether you are finishing a remodel on a weekday or need a new door secured tonight after a break-in attempt or a contractor handoff.

How it works in Agoura Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    We start by asking what the door is, who uses it and how much security you want. A new front entry, a garage side door, a pool gate and a barn each get a different recommendation. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe it, and we will tell you what to expect.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door, frame and prep

    On site we check door material, thickness, the frame, the strike area and whether bores are already drilled. Solid wood, hollow-core, metal and aluminum storefront doors each need different methods, and a weak frame can undermine even a strong lock.

  3. 3

    Select hardware that suits the use

    We go over deadbolts, knobs and levers, smart or keypad options, gate latches and padlock hasps. Where it makes sense, we can key new locks alike so one key works the entry points you choose.

  4. 4

    Cut, fit and install cleanly

    If the door needs new bores we drill them carefully, install the latch and strike, and reinforce where the wood or frame needs it. The goal is a lock that throws smoothly and closes without forcing.

  5. 5

    Test, key and walk you through

    We run the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, check alignment, and hand over keys or codes. If you want, we explain how to rekey or add to the system later.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic knob, a grade-rated deadbolt, a smart or keypad lock and a gate or barn lock all differ in hardware cost.
  • Whether the door is already prepped or needs new bores drilled, which changes the labor involved.
  • Door material and condition, since solid wood, metal, hollow-core and aluminum storefront doors each require different tools and technique.
  • The number of locks and whether you want them keyed alike, which affects both hardware and keying time.
  • Frame or strike reinforcement, if the existing jamb is thin, split or poorly fitted.
  • Time of day and how remote the property is, since we are 24/7 and travel to you.

Why Agoura Hills chooses us

  • We are fully mobile and work at your door, so there is no shop trip and no leaving a new opening unsecured.
  • Operating since 1987 means David Shar and the team have fitted hardware to decades of door types, from tract-home slabs to ranch gates.
  • We match hardware to the actual use, such as a barn, a rental unit or a front entry, instead of selling one lock for everything.
  • We check the frame and strike, not only the lock, because a good deadbolt in a weak jamb gives false confidence.
  • Available 24/7, including for urgent installs after a break-in attempt or a late contractor finish.
  • We explain your options plainly and quote based on the job, with no pressure to upgrade beyond what you need.

Lock Installation across Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills installs tend to follow the housing. In the 1970s and 1980s tract neighborhoods around Morrison Ranch and the streets off Kanan Road, we often add deadbolts to side doors, upgrade worn entry hardware or fit locks on remodeled garage conversions and back-yard offices. Homes in the 91301 area also frequently need gate latches and pool-fence hardware, which take sun and heat harder than most people expect.

Old Agoura is a different world. Horse properties, barns and gated ranch homes need weather-tolerant padlocks and hasps for tack rooms, secure latches for pasture and driveway gates, and entry locks that suit long, rural driveways. A worn gate lock that has to be replaced instead of rekeyed is a common job out there, and we bring options to the property so you can decide on the spot.

Around Lake Lindero, townhomes and condos often involve HOA rules and shared spaces, so we coordinate hardware choices with what the community allows. Along Agoura Road and Kanan Road, retail suites with aluminum storefront doors need locks that fit narrow stiles. Whether you are in 91301 or 91376, near Chumash Park, off Cornell Road or up toward Ladyface Mountain, we come to you from US-101 and get the new lock working properly.

Lock Installation in Agoura Hills — FAQs

What is the difference between lock installation and a rekey?
Installation puts a new lock where none existed or on a new door. A rekey changes the internal pins of an existing lock so old keys stop working. If you are unsure which you need, call (323) 997-8867 and we will help sort it out.
Can you install a lock on a door that has never had one?
Yes. We assess the door and frame, drill the needed bores, fit the latch and strike, and test the result. The door material and thickness determine the method and the hardware we recommend.
Do you handle barn and horse property locks in Old Agoura?
Yes. We can install padlock hasps, tack room locks and driveway or pasture gate latches suited to outdoor conditions. We bring options to the property so you can choose on site.
Can all my new locks use the same key?
In many cases yes. We can key new locks alike so one key covers the doors you choose. Some specialty gate or padlock hardware may be limited, and we will tell you what is possible for your setup.
Do you install smart or keypad locks?
We can install keypad and smart lock options where they suit the door. We will check the door prep, the frame and how you plan to use the lock before recommending one.
Are you available at night or on weekends in Agoura Hills?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If a new door or opening needs securing right away, call (323) 997-8867.
Can you help with townhome or HOA locks around Lake Lindero?
We can install or rekey common-area and mailbox-related locks where you are authorized to request the work. HOA rules vary, so we recommend confirming approved hardware with your board first.
How is the price of a lock installation determined?
It depends on the lock type, the door material, whether bores need drilling, how many locks are involved and any frame reinforcement. Call (323) 997-8867 with the details and we will explain what applies to your job.
