A deadbolt is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to a door, and one of the most effective. In Beverly Hills the doors themselves vary enormously, from heavy carved wood on a 1920s Spanish or Tudor home in The Flats, to slim steel-framed doors on a mid-century house in Trousdale Estates, to aluminum storefront doors in the Golden Triangle. A deadbolt that fits one of those perfectly can be a poor match for another, so the work starts with looking at the door rather than grabbing a box off a shelf.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. We are available around the clock and bring the work to you, whether you are replacing a worn deadbolt, adding a second point of security to a door that only has a knob lock, or switching to a different style of cylinder.

Beverly Hills homeowners often have particular wishes on top of security: keep the original look of a historic door, match the finish of existing hardware, or blend a new deadbolt with a smart lock or keypad system. We treat those as part of the job. The goal is a deadbolt that is installed cleanly, works smoothly every day, and suits the character of the property.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the door is, what lock it has now, and what you want: a first deadbolt, a replacement, a double-cylinder, or a match to existing hardware. We will tell you what is realistic before anyone arrives.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door, frame, and strike area

    On site we check the door thickness, material, existing bores, and the condition of the jamb. A deadbolt is only as strong as the wood or metal around it, so we look at whether the frame can hold the bolt properly.

  3. 3

    Choose the right deadbolt type

    We go over single-cylinder (thumb turn inside) versus double-cylinder (key on both sides). Double-cylinder suits some doors with glass nearby, but it carries real fire-egress considerations, so we explain the tradeoffs honestly and let you decide.

  4. 4

    Install and align precisely

    We prepare the bore if a new hole is needed, fit the bolt and strike, and set everything square so the bolt throws fully without binding. On finished wood doors we work carefully to limit visible marks.

  5. 5

    Test, key, and hand over

    We cycle the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm the keys work, and can key the new deadbolt to match your other locks if the hardware allows. You leave with working keys and a door that closes confidently.

What affects the price

  • The type of deadbolt: a standard single-cylinder differs from a higher-security or double-cylinder model, and decorative finishes can change the hardware cost.
  • Whether the door already has a prepared bore or we need to drill a new one, which is common when adding a deadbolt to a door that only had a knob lock.
  • Door material and thickness, since solid wood, metal, glass-framed, and aluminum storefront doors each call for different preparation.
  • Frame and strike reinforcement, if the jamb is worn, split, or too weak to hold the bolt securely.
  • Matching existing keys or finishes so the new deadbolt works with your current key set and suits the look of the door.
  • The time of day and location of the call, since we are mobile and available 24/7, including nights and weekends.

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: we come to your door instead of asking you to bring anything to a shop, because there is no storefront.
  • Experience with the mix of doors found in Beverly Hills, from period-revival wood doors to mid-century entries to aluminum storefronts.
  • We would rather preserve and rekey original hardware than replace it when you want to protect the character of a historic home.
  • Honest guidance on single versus double-cylinder deadbolts, including when we would not recommend the double-cylinder.
  • We look at the frame and strike, not just the lock, because a strong deadbolt in a weak jamb does not do much.
  • Available 24/7, so a broken or failing deadbolt does not have to wait until morning.

Deadbolt Installation across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills is a city of very different doors. In The Flats, the 1920s and 1930s Spanish, Tudor, and Georgian homes often have thick, handsome wood doors and original mortise hardware that owners want to keep. Adding a deadbolt there is a matter of fitting a modern bolt without spoiling the door, and sometimes rekeying what is already in place. Many addresses in 90210 and 90212 fall into this category, near the quiet streets between Santa Monica Blvd and Wilshire Blvd.

Up in Trousdale Estates, the mid-century modern homes tend toward clean lines and often combine entry locks with keypad driveway gates and safes, so a deadbolt upgrade can be part of a larger security picture. In the hillside areas toward Benedict Canyon Dr and Coldwater Canyon Dr, gated estates in the BHPO area around 90210 often want a dependable physical deadbolt as a backup to electronic locks that can lose power or fail.

In the Golden Triangle, near Rodeo Drive and Canon Dr, shops and offices use aluminum storefront doors and mortise cylinders that need different hardware than a house door. Whether you are near the Beverly Hills Hotel, Greystone Mansion, Will Rogers Memorial Park, or in a condo in 90211, we come to you, any hour, and fit the deadbolt to the door in front of us.

Deadbolt Installation in Beverly Hills — FAQs

Can you install a deadbolt on a door that only has a knob lock?
Usually yes. We check the door thickness and material, prepare the bore if needed, and fit the bolt and strike. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door so we can tell you what to expect.
Should I choose a single-cylinder or double-cylinder deadbolt?
Single-cylinder is the usual choice because you can turn it from inside without a key. Double-cylinder may suit a door with nearby glass, but it can slow your exit in an emergency, so we talk it through before installing.
Can a deadbolt be added to a historic door in The Flats without damaging it?
Often it can be done carefully, and sometimes the better answer is to restore and rekey the original hardware. We look at the door first and tell you the least invasive option.
Will the new deadbolt use the same key as my other locks?
In many cases we can key it to match, depending on the brand and keyway of your existing locks. Ask when you call (323) 997-8867 so we can plan the hardware.
Do you install deadbolts on storefront doors in the Golden Triangle?
Yes, though aluminum storefront doors often need specific hardware, such as mortise cylinders or narrow-stile locks, rather than a standard residential deadbolt. We assess the door first.
Can you help if my gated property also has keypad entry?
Yes. A physical deadbolt is a good backup to electronic locks and keypads, and we can discuss how it fits with your other entry points.
Is your service available at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour about a failing or missing deadbolt.
Do I need a stronger frame as well as a new deadbolt?
Sometimes. If the jamb is worn or split, the bolt cannot do its job, so we may recommend reinforcing the strike area. We will show you what we see before doing extra work.
