Installing a lock sounds simple until you are standing at the door. Is it solid wood, hollow-core, steel, or aluminum storefront? Is the bore the right size? Does the frame have enough backing to hold a strike plate against a real push? In Burbank, the answers vary a lot from block to block, and a lock that suits a 1950s ranch house may be wrong for a historic bungalow or a studio-area office.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools, hardware and know-how to your door, whether that is a new addition, a converted garage, a freshly hung entry door, a barn, or a gate that never had proper hardware.

Our approach is to look at the door and the frame first, then recommend hardware that fits the opening, the way you use it and your security needs. We install it cleanly, test it, and show you how it works so you are not left guessing. Owner and lead tech David Shar has spent decades doing this work around the Southland, and that experience shapes how we handle the details.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door or gate

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe what you are securing: an entry door, a side door, a gate, a shed, a tack room or an office. Tell us the material, whether it is new or existing, and how you want to use it, such as keyed entry, keypad, or a keyed-alike setup with other locks.

  2. 2

    On-site assessment

    We come to you and inspect the door, jamb and surrounding structure. We check thickness, existing bores, frame condition and whether the strike side can be reinforced. On older doors we also look for ways to install without damaging original character.

  3. 3

    Hardware recommendation

    We explain the options in plain language: deadbolt grades, handleset styles, finishes, keypad or smart-lock compatibility, and weather-rated choices for outdoor use. You decide what fits your needs and budget before any work starts.

  4. 4

    Precise installation

    We drill or fit the bores with proper templates, set the latch and bolt, mount the strike with long screws into the framing, and align everything so the bolt throws smoothly without binding. Where possible we keep cuts minimal and tidy.

  5. 5

    Testing and key handoff

    We cycle the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm the bolt fully engages, and check that keys work smoothly. If you want it keyed to match other locks, we set that up too.

  6. 6

    Walkthrough and care tips

    Before we leave, we show you how the hardware operates and offer simple maintenance advice, especially for outdoor locks exposed to sun, rain or barn dust, so the installation keeps working for years.

What affects the price

  • The type of door or opening: solid wood, steel, fiberglass, hollow-core, or aluminum storefront each call for different prep and fitting work.
  • Whether new holes must be bored or an existing bore can be reused, since fresh drilling and fitting takes more time than a straightforward swap.
  • The hardware you choose, including lock grade, brand, finish, keypad or smart features, and whether it is rated for outdoor exposure.
  • Frame and strike reinforcement, such as adding longer screws, a reinforced strike plate or a door-edge guard on weaker jambs.
  • The number of locks and whether they should be keyed alike or on a master-key system.
  • Special conditions like historic doors that need careful, low-impact fitting, or gates and padlock setups requiring specialty hardware.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile 24/7 service: we come to your Burbank property rather than asking you to bring a door anywhere.
  • Experience since 1987 means we have handled everything from vintage mortise doors to modern commercial openings.
  • We install to suit the door, not the other way around, with attention to preserving original woodwork on older homes.
  • Clear hardware guidance on grades and options so you understand what you are paying for.
  • Capability across residential, equestrian-property and commercial needs, including keyed-alike and master-key planning.
  • Owner involvement: David Shar leads the work and stands behind how it is done.

Lock Installation across Burbank

Burbank's housing varies in ways that matter for lock installation. In Magnolia Park, many 1920s to 1940s Spanish and California bungalows still carry original mortise and skeleton-key hardware. Owners there often want a modern Grade-1 deadbolt added for real security without altering the vintage door, and that calls for careful measuring and clean, minimal fitting. Around the 91505 and 91506 ZIP codes, you will also find 1950s ranch tracts where standard bores and newer entry doors make for straightforward upgrades, along with converted garages and added rooms that need locks where none existed before.

The Rancho District is a different story. These equestrian properties have barns, stables, tack rooms and long driveway gates that take a beating from sun, dust and moisture. Corroded padlocks and worn gate latches are common, and we can install weather-appropriate hardware sized for the job. We can also set up several locks on one key so you are not juggling a ring of keys on the way to the barn.

Near the Media District and the studio corridor around Warner Bros. Studios and Walt Disney Studios, offices and aluminum-storefront strips along Olive Ave, Magnolia Blvd and San Fernando Blvd need hardware suited to narrow stiles and commercial use. Whether you are off Hollywood Way near Hollywood Burbank Airport or close to Downtown Burbank in 91502 or 91501, or you can reach us from I-5 or SR-134, we come to you, any hour. Call (323) 997-8867.

Lock Installation in Burbank — FAQs

Can you install a deadbolt on a vintage door in Magnolia Park without ruining it?
Usually yes. We measure carefully, choose hardware with a suitable finish and fit, and keep cuts as minimal as the door allows. We can also advise on rekeying existing mortise locks. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your door.
Do you install locks at night or on weekends in Burbank?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If you need a lock installed after hours, such as securing a new door, call (323) 997-8867.
What is the difference between installing a lock and replacing one?
Installation adds a lock where none existed, which may involve boring new holes and reinforcing the frame. Replacement swaps hardware into an existing setup. We handle both and will tell you which applies to your door.
Can you install padlocks and gate hardware for a Rancho District horse property?
Yes. We can replace corroded tack-room padlocks and install or replace driveway gate locks with hardware suited to outdoor exposure. We can also key multiple locks alike for convenience.
Can you install locks on aluminum storefront doors in the Media District?
Yes. Storefront doors have narrow stiles and need specific hardware. We assess the door, recommend compatible options and install them. We can also plan keyed-alike or master-key systems for offices.
Which deadbolt grade should I choose for my Burbank home?
For exterior doors, a higher-grade deadbolt generally offers better resistance to force and wear. We explain the differences on site and match the choice to your door, budget and needs.
Do you offer keypad or smart lock installation?
Yes, where the door and hardware are compatible. We check door prep, backset and frame condition first, then install and test it. Call (323) 997-8867 to ask about your situation.
Do I need to visit a shop to choose hardware?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront. We bring options to your property, walk you through them and install the lock you choose.
