Replacing a lock sounds simple until you are standing in front of a door in Beverly Hills. One property might have a 1920s mortise lockset with a hand-finished escutcheon, the next a mid-century pivot door, and another a gated hillside entry with a keypad, an intercom and a smart deadbolt all tied together. The right replacement depends on the door, the frame, the people who use it and how you want to live with it every day.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has spent decades working on the kinds of hardware found across Beverly Hills. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and a range of hardware to you, look at the door in person and recommend what makes sense.

Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need a new lock at all. A worn cylinder can often be rekeyed, and a beautiful original mortise lock can often be restored. When replacement is the better choice, because the hardware is damaged, outdated, compromised after a break-in, or simply no longer matches how you use the property, we install new locks cleanly and make sure everything operates smoothly before we leave.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door and the problem

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night. Describe the door, the current lock and why you want a change, whether that is wear, a lost key, a recent move, a break-in or an upgrade to a smart lock. This helps us bring suitable hardware.

  2. 2

    Inspect the hardware in person

    We come to your location and examine the lock, strike, door edge and frame. On older Beverly Hills homes we check whether original hardware can be kept and rekeyed instead of replaced, since many owners prefer to preserve it.

  3. 3

    Recommend options that fit

    We explain realistic choices: a standard high-security deadbolt, a keypad or smart lock, a mortise replacement, or a rekey. You decide with clear information, and we do not push more than the door needs.

  4. 4

    Install and fit precisely

    We remove the old lock and install the new one, adjusting the bore, latch and strike as needed so the bolt throws freely without forcing. For doors with a mortise pocket, we take care to match dimensions and preserve the finish around it.

  5. 5

    Key, program and coordinate

    We key new locks as you need, including keyed-alike sets for multiple doors. For smart locks and keypads, we set up codes and walk you through them. If your entry connects to a driveway gate keypad, we can discuss coordinating access.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    Before leaving, we cycle every lock with the door open and closed, confirm each key works and make sure you know how to operate and maintain the new hardware.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen: a standard deadbolt, a high-security cylinder, a mortise lockset or a smart lock all differ in hardware cost and installation effort.
  • The number of doors and whether you want them keyed alike, which affects both hardware and the time spent keying.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since misaligned doors, damaged strike areas or older mortise pockets may need extra fitting work.
  • Whether the work is scheduled in advance or requested urgently outside normal hours, such as late at night.
  • Finish and brand requirements, particularly when matching existing hardware or specialty finishes common in higher-end homes.
  • Added scope such as programming a smart lock, setting up access codes or coordinating with a gate keypad or intercom.

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a broken or compromised lock can be dealt with at your door rather than somewhere you have to travel.
  • Serving the region since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar bringing long experience with both modern and older hardware.
  • We will tell you when rekeying or restoring is the better choice, which matters for period homes where original mortise hardware is part of the character.
  • Comfort with high-end residential needs, from smart locks and keypad systems to safes and gate-related access.
  • Careful installation that respects fine doors and finishes, with testing before we leave.
  • Clear explanations of options and what drives the cost, so you are never guessing what you are paying for.

Lock Replacement across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills has an unusually wide mix of entry hardware. In The Flats, many 1920s and 1930s Spanish, Tudor and Georgian revival homes still carry original mortise locks. Owners there often want the character kept, so we look at restoration or rekeying first and replace only when parts are beyond saving. When a replacement is the right call, we choose hardware whose look suits the door.

Up in Trousdale Estates, mid-century modern homes tend to have different needs: clean-lined entry doors, modern high-security deadbolts or smart locks, and often a driveway gate with a keypad. In the hillside areas of BHPO and Benedict Canyon, gated estates mean the front door is often just one part of a larger access setup. We can replace the door hardware and discuss how it fits with your gate and intercom. These properties are commonly found in ZIP codes 90210 and 90212, while 90211 covers other residential pockets of the city.

On the commercial side, Golden Triangle businesses near Rodeo Drive, Canon Dr and Wilshire Blvd often have aluminum storefronts with mortise cylinders, where the cylinder or lock body may need replacing after wear or an employee change. Whether you are near Sunset Blvd, Santa Monica Blvd, Coldwater Canyon Dr or Will Rogers Memorial Park, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Replacement in Beverly Hills — FAQs

Do you offer lock replacement in Beverly Hills at night and on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour about a broken, damaged or compromised lock anywhere in Beverly Hills.
Can you keep the original mortise lock on my vintage home?
Often, yes. In many period homes, such as those in The Flats, original mortise hardware can be repaired, restored and rekeyed. We inspect it first and only recommend replacement when the hardware is truly worn out or unsafe.
What is the difference between replacing and rekeying a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work while keeping the same lock body. Replacement installs new hardware. Rekeying suits locks in good condition; replacement suits damaged, worn or outdated locks or when you want an upgrade.
Can you install smart locks at my Beverly Hills home?
Yes. We install and set up keypad and smart locks, configure access codes and show you how to use them. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss which type suits your door and how you want to manage access.
Can you help with a driveway gate keypad as well?
We can discuss gate keypad reprogramming and how it fits with your entry hardware, which is common for Trousdale Estates and hillside properties. Describe your setup when you call so we can plan properly.
Do you replace locks on commercial storefronts in the Golden Triangle?
Yes. We handle aluminum storefront doors and mortise cylinders for Golden Triangle businesses, including after-hours situations. Because we are mobile, we come to your location.
How is the cost of lock replacement determined?
It depends on the lock type, the number of doors, door and frame condition, keying needs, finish, and whether the work is urgent or scheduled. We explain these factors up front so the price makes sense to you.
Do I need to visit your shop to get new locks?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We bring hardware and tools to your door and install everything on site.
