A home in Beverly Hills rarely has just one kind of lock. A single property might have original mortise hardware on a 1920s front door, a modern smart deadbolt on the pool gate, a keypad at the driveway and a safe tucked into a closet. Residential locksmith work here means understanding all of those systems and knowing when to preserve, when to rekey and when to replace.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around mobile service. We have no storefront to visit. Our work happens at your property, whether that is a Spanish-revival house in The Flats, a mid-century home in Trousdale Estates or a gated hillside estate off Benedict Canyon Drive.

Our residential service covers lockouts, rekeying after a move or a lost key, lock repair, hardware replacement, smart lock installation, safe service and gate keypad work. We aim to explain your options plainly, respect the architecture of your home, and leave you with a door that works smoothly and securely.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us whether it is a lockout, a rekey, a broken lock or an upgrade, and what kind of hardware you have. Photos of unusual or antique hardware help us arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, a technician travels to your home. We confirm the work needed and the approach before starting, so there are no surprises about what will be done.

  3. 3

    Assess the hardware and the property

    We look at the lock type, its condition, the door and the frame. On older homes we check whether original mortise hardware can be kept and restored. On newer homes we look at smart locks, keypads and gates as a connected system.

  4. 4

    Rekey, repair, replace or upgrade

    Where the hardware is sound, we prefer rekeying or repair, which keeps original character and avoids waste. Where a lock is worn out or does not suit your security needs, we recommend a replacement and explain why.

  5. 5

    Test everything and hand over keys

    We operate each lock repeatedly, check the strike and alignment, and confirm keys or codes work. For gate keypads and smart locks, we reprogram codes and walk you through managing them.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: a lockout, a rekey, a repair and a full hardware replacement involve very different amounts of labor and parts.
  • The hardware itself: high-end smart locks, restricted keyways and specialty or antique mortise sets cost more to supply or restore than standard deadbolts.
  • The number of locks: rekeying one door is different from rekeying every entry, patio and gate on an estate so all share one key.
  • Safes and gates: safe opening or service and gate keypad reprogramming add specialized tools and time compared with ordinary door work.
  • Condition and access: worn or damaged doors, frames and strikes may need extra repair, and some hillside or gated properties take more time to reach.
  • Time of service: after-hours and emergency calls are handled differently from scheduled daytime appointments.

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and 24/7: we come to your home at any hour, with no storefront and no need to travel anywhere.
  • In business since 1987: decades of hands-on experience across Greater Los Angeles, including older homes with unusual hardware.
  • Preservation first: on period-revival homes, we favor restoring and rekeying original mortise hardware over ripping it out.
  • Comfortable with modern systems: smart locks, keypad gates, intercom-linked entries and residential safes are all part of our work.
  • Straightforward recommendations: we explain whether a repair, rekey or replacement is the sensible choice rather than defaulting to the biggest job.
  • Owner-led: David Shar leads the business, which keeps standards consistent and accountability clear.

Residential Locksmith across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills homes are as varied as its streets. In The Flats, the grid between Santa Monica Blvd and Sunset Blvd, many houses date to the 1920s and 1930s, with Spanish, Tudor and Georgian details. Original mortise locks, ornate escutcheons and heavy wood doors are common, and owners often want them kept. We repair, restore and rekey this hardware so the house keeps its character while the keys are fresh and secure.

Up in Trousdale Estates, mid-century modern homes often combine glass, pivot or oversized doors with newer security: high-security cylinders, residential safes and driveway gates with keypads. A typical call there might involve rekeying to a restricted keyway, servicing a safe and reprogramming the gate keypad in one visit. In the BHPO and Benedict Canyon area, gated hillside estates along Benedict Canyon Dr and Coldwater Canyon Dr bring their own needs, from multiple gates to detached guest houses that should all work on a coordinated key plan.

We serve ZIP codes 90210, 90211 and 90212, from the quiet streets near Greystone Mansion and Will Rogers Memorial Park to the area around Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Blvd. In the Golden Triangle, we also help with after-hours lockouts at boutiques with aluminum storefronts and mortise cylinders. Whatever the property, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Residential Locksmith in Beverly Hills — FAQs

Do you offer residential locksmith service in Beverly Hills at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour for a lockout, a broken lock or an urgent security concern.
Can you keep the original hardware on my 1920s home in The Flats?
Often, yes. Many original mortise locks can be repaired, restored and rekeyed instead of replaced. We inspect the lock first and tell you honestly if a part is too worn to save.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping the same lock hardware. Replacement installs new hardware. Rekeying is a good choice when the lock is in good shape and you just want new keys.
Can you reprogram a driveway gate keypad?
Yes. We can reprogram keypad codes on many residential gates, and we often do this alongside rekeying the house, for example at Trousdale Estates homes. Call (323) 997-8867 with your gate model if you know it.
Do you work on residential safes?
We provide safe service for home safes, including opening and servicing in many cases. Let us know the make and situation when you call so we can come prepared.
Can you install smart locks?
Yes. We install and set up smart locks and can advise on which ones suit your door and your needs. We also keep a mechanical key option in mind so you are never dependent on batteries alone.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are mobile only, which means we come to your home anywhere in Beverly Hills, including 90210, 90211 and 90212.
How is the price of a residential locksmith job determined?
It depends on the type of work, the hardware, how many locks are involved, any safe or gate work, door condition and time of day. We explain the approach before starting. For questions, call (323) 997-8867.
