Installing a lock sounds simple until you look at what Beverly Hills actually has: carved wood doors on 1920s period-revival homes, slim steel-framed doors on mid-century houses, aluminum storefronts, and driveway gates with keypads and intercoms. Each one calls for different hardware, different prep work, and a different level of care. A lock that is wrong for the door can fail early, bind in the frame, or ruin a finish that cannot be replaced.

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, so there is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and a range of hardware to your property, look at the door, and talk through what makes sense before we cut or drill anything.

Lock installation covers more than deadbolts. It can mean adding a deadbolt to a door that only had a knob, fitting a new entry set on a freshly hung door, installing a keypad or smart lock, or adding hardware to a side gate, guest house, pool house or home office. We install the lock, make sure it works smoothly with the door and strike, and show you how to use it.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    We start by asking what the lock needs to do: secure a new front door, add a deadbolt to a guest house, support a smart lock, or match existing hardware. Door material, age and finish matter, especially on historic or custom doors.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door, frame and strike area

    We check door thickness, edge condition, frame strength and alignment. A well-made lock still performs poorly in a warped or weak frame, so we note anything that should be reinforced before installation.

  3. 3

    Choose hardware that fits

    We go over grades, finishes, keyway options and smart or keypad choices. On period homes we focus on hardware that suits the architecture, and on modern doors we look at cleaner, lower-profile designs.

  4. 4

    Prepare and install carefully

    We make the bore and edge preparations with templates, protect the surrounding finish, and fit the latch, strike and trim so the bolt throws fully without forcing the door.

  5. 5

    Test, key and explain

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, confirm alignment with the door closed and in different conditions, and cut or set keys or codes. For electronic locks, we walk you through code management and battery care.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a standard deadbolt, a high-security cylinder, a mortise lock, or a smart or keypad model all involve different hardware and labor.
  • Door material and condition, since solid wood, steel, glass and aluminum each need different preparation and tools.
  • Whether the door is already bored or needs new holes cut, and whether a frame or strike needs reinforcement.
  • The number of locks and whether they should be keyed alike or on a master key arrangement.
  • Electronic integration, such as programming a keypad, connecting to a gate or setting up user codes.
  • Time of day and urgency, since we work around the clock and after-hours visits differ from scheduled ones.

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your property, so the lock is fitted and tested on the actual door it will protect.
  • Respect for original hardware: on vintage homes we will tell you honestly when restoring or rekeying is the better choice over replacing.
  • Experience since 1987 with a wide variety of residential and commercial doors across Greater Los Angeles.
  • Owner-led standards under David Shar, with a focus on clean installation and doors that close smoothly.
  • Comfort with both traditional and electronic hardware, including keypads and gate-related programming.
  • Available 24/7, so a door that needs to be secured tonight does not have to wait.

Lock Installation across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills properties vary block by block. In The Flats, grand 1920s and 1930s Spanish, Tudor and Georgian homes often have heavy wood doors and original mortise hardware. When we install new locks there, we take care with finishes and aim for hardware that fits the character of the house. A guest house or pool house door might need a new deadbolt that does not clash with the main entry.

Up in Trousdale Estates, mid-century modern homes tend to have clean lines and large entry doors, where a sleek keypad or smart lock can suit the design. Driveway gates with keypads and intercoms are common in this area and in the gated hillside estates around Benedict Canyon and the BHPO neighborhood, so we are comfortable working on entry hardware and tying it into the way the property is already secured.

In the Golden Triangle, near Rodeo Drive, Canon Dr and Wilshire Blvd, boutiques often have aluminum storefront doors with mortise cylinders, which need hardware made for narrow stiles. We serve homes and businesses across ZIP codes 90210, 90211 and 90212, from Sunset Blvd and Coldwater Canyon Dr to Santa Monica Blvd. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

Lock Installation in Beverly Hills — FAQs

Do you install locks on new doors in Beverly Hills?
Yes. We install locks on newly hung doors, including bore preparation, latch and strike fitting, and testing. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door and we can discuss the right hardware.
Can you add a deadbolt where there is only a knob lock?
Usually, yes. We check door thickness and edge condition, then add a deadbolt with the proper preparation. Some doors need reinforcement at the frame, which we point out during the inspection.
Can you install a lock on a historic door without damaging it?
We take care to protect original finishes and avoid unnecessary cutting. If the existing mortise hardware is worth keeping, we may suggest restoring or rekeying it instead of replacing it.
Do you install smart locks and keypads?
Yes. We install keypad and smart locks, set up user codes, and explain battery care and backup access. Your door needs to be compatible, and we check that first.
Can you work with my driveway gate keypad?
We can often help with entry hardware and keypad programming related to gates. Gate systems vary, so call (323) 997-8867 with the type you have and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you install locks on commercial storefronts?
Yes. We work with aluminum storefront doors and mortise cylinders common in business districts like the Golden Triangle, and we can handle after-hours needs.

No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We bring hardware options to your property and install on site, which lets us fit the lock to your actual door.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we operate 24/7. If a new door needs to be secured after hours, call (323) 997-8867 and we will help.
