A lock rarely fails all at once. A deadbolt starts to stick in cold weather, a key needs a little jiggle, a latch no longer catches the strike plate, or a padlock turns to rust after a few seasons outdoors. In Burbank, where a house from the 1930s can sit a few blocks from a modern production office, the right replacement depends on the door, the building and what you need the lock to do.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around coming to the customer. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; the work happens at your door, whether that is a front entry, a tack room, a driveway gate or a suite in a commercial strip.

Lock replacement is not always the right answer, and we will say so. Sometimes a good mechanism only needs rekeying or a repair, especially on vintage hardware worth keeping. Other times, after a break-in, a move, a lost key or staff turnover, new hardware is the sensible choice. We look at what you have, explain the options plainly and then do the work.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what is failing, what kind of door or gate it is and whether you are locked out or planning ahead. We will let you know what information helps us bring the right hardware.

  2. 2

    On-site look at the door and lock

    We come to you and examine the lock, the door, the strike plate and the frame. Many problems turn out to be alignment or wear in one part, so we check before recommending a full swap.

  3. 3

    Choose the right replacement

    We go over options such as deadbolts, knob and lever sets, smart or keypad locks, gate locks and weather-resistant padlocks. For older doors we explain what fits without cutting into original wood or altering the look.

  4. 4

    Install and fit carefully

    We remove the old hardware and install the new lock, making sure the bolt throws fully, the latch lines up and the finish matches nearby hardware where possible. Any needed adjustment to bore or strike is handled cleanly.

  5. 5

    Cut keys and test

    We test every key and operate the lock repeatedly from both sides. If you want several doors on one key, or a new key system after a change in tenants or staff, we can set that up.

  6. 6

    Walk-through and care tips

    Before leaving, we show you how the lock works and how to maintain it, and we answer questions about the old hardware you are replacing.

What affects the price

  • The type and grade of lock chosen, from a standard residential deadbolt to higher-security hardware or electronic options.
  • How many locks are being replaced and whether they are keyed alike, keyed differently or tied into a master key system.
  • The condition of the door, frame or gate, including whether the bore, strike plate or mounting needs adjustment or repair.
  • Special hardware needs such as mortise locks, weather-resistant outdoor padlocks, gate latches or commercial storefront fittings.
  • The time of day and the location, since after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled work.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: the work happens at your door, and we do not run a shop you have to visit.
  • Operating since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar guiding the work.
  • Available 24/7, so a broken lock after a break-in or a failed latch late at night can be handled right away.
  • Comfortable with older hardware. We can often keep original mortise sets in place when that is the better choice, rather than pushing a replacement.
  • Experience across homes, horse properties and commercial doors, so the recommendation fits the setting.
  • Honest guidance on replace versus rekey versus repair, with no pressure to buy more than the door needs.

Lock Replacement across Burbank

Burbank is a city of very different doors. In Magnolia Park, many Spanish and California bungalows from the 1920s through the 1940s still carry their original mortise locks and skeleton-key hardware. Owners there often want better security without losing the character of the door, which usually means rekeying or restoring the old set and adding a modern Grade-1 deadbolt carefully. Homes in the 91505 and 91506 area, along with the 1950s ranch tracts, tend to have more standard bores and are straightforward for new deadbolts and entry sets.

The Rancho District is a different story. These equestrian properties have barns, stables and tack rooms, plus driveway gates that see weather and daily use. Corroded padlocks and worn gate latches are common, and we can replace them with hardware designed for outdoor exposure. Many of these properties sit in the 91504 and 91501 area, so a call from there is something we handle regularly.

Around the Media District and the studio corridor near Warner Bros. Studios, Walt Disney Studios and Hollywood Way, businesses face other needs: aluminum storefront locks, office doors, master key systems and fresh keying after crew turnover. Whether you are near Magnolia Boulevard's antique row, Downtown Burbank, the airport off Hollywood Way, or off the I-5 or SR-134, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Replacement in Burbank — FAQs

Do you offer lock replacement in Burbank at night and on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will talk through what you need.
Should I replace or rekey my locks?
If the lock works well and is in good condition, rekeying is often enough, especially after a move or lost key. Replacement makes sense when the hardware is worn, damaged, broken into or no longer secure. We will tell you which applies.
Can you replace locks on a vintage Magnolia Park bungalow without damaging the door?
Often yes. Older mortise and skeleton-key hardware can frequently be rekeyed or kept, and a modern deadbolt can be added with careful work. We look at the door first and explain what fits.
Can you replace padlocks and gate locks on a Rancho District horse property?
Yes. We can replace corroded tack-room padlocks and worn driveway gate hardware with weather-resistant options, and key several locks alike so you carry fewer keys.
Can you help a Media District office after staff or crew turnover?
Yes. We can replace or rekey office locks and set up master-keying so access is under control. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss the doors involved.
How much does lock replacement cost?
It depends on the lock type and grade, how many locks, the condition of the door and the time of day. We do not quote prices on this page, but we can explain what affects the cost when you call.
Do I need to have a lock in mind before you arrive?
No. Describe the problem and we will bring suitable options or help you choose on site. If you have a specific brand or finish in mind, tell us when you call.
Do you have a shop I can visit in Burbank?
No. We are mobile only, so we come to your home, property or business instead.
