A smart lock is only as good as the door it is mounted on and the way it is set up. In Burbank, the doors vary a great deal: a 1930s Spanish bungalow in Magnolia Park, a 1950s ranch house with a hollow-core slab, a gated horse property in the Rancho District, or an aluminum storefront in the Media District. Each one calls for a different approach, and a lock that looks simple on the box can turn into a problem if the bore, backset, strike plate or door edge is not right.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen smart hardware go from novelty to ordinary. We install keypad deadbolts, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth locks, fingerprint and keyless entry sets, and smart retrofit units that work with your existing deadbolt. We also fix the common headaches: a lock that will not pair, codes that stopped working, a dead battery, or a latch that no longer lines up with the strike.

We are mobile only. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools, hardware knowledge and installation experience to your door, day or night. Whether you want to stop hiding a key under a flowerpot, manage guest access for a rental, or give a team its own codes, we will help you pick something that fits the door and the way you live or work.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Talk through what you need

    We start by learning how the lock will be used. Is it a front door, a side gate, a garage entry, or an office suite? Who needs access, and do you want codes, a phone app, a fingerprint, or a physical key as a backup? Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will help you narrow the options before we arrive.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    On site, we look at the door thickness, bore holes, backset, edge condition and frame. Older Burbank doors, especially vintage bungalow doors, may have mortise cutouts or wear that affects what can be installed. We check that the door closes and latches smoothly, because a misaligned door will make any smart lock unreliable.

  3. 3

    Choose hardware that fits the door

    We recommend a lock that suits the door and your priorities, such as a full deadbolt replacement or a retrofit that keeps your current exterior look. Where security matters, we steer toward sturdy, well-built deadbolts rather than whatever is cheapest. We explain the tradeoffs plainly, including battery reliance and connectivity.

  4. 4

    Install and align

    We mount the lock, adjust the strike plate and test the bolt throw so it extends fully without binding. If the door needs minor prep, such as enlarging a bore or reinforcing the strike, we handle it with care for the finish and the original character of the door.

  5. 5

    Set up codes, app and backups

    We program user codes, pair the lock with your phone or hub if you want that, and set up any auto-lock features. We show you how to change codes, replace batteries and use the mechanical key override, so you are not dependent on a single method of getting inside.

  6. 6

    Test and walk you through it

    Before we leave, we operate the lock several ways, from inside and outside, and confirm everything works as expected. We leave you with clear instructions so you can manage the lock confidently, and you can call us if anything acts up later.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen: a basic keypad deadbolt, a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth model, a fingerprint unit, and a retrofit device all differ in the hardware cost and the work involved.
  • The condition and type of the door: solid wood, hollow-core, metal, or aluminum storefront doors may need different prep, and older doors may need extra work to fit new hardware.
  • Whether we are replacing an existing deadbolt, converting a mortise lock, or installing on a door that has never had a deadbolt, since new bores take more time.
  • The number of locks and users involved, such as several doors on one property or code programming for a team or rental guests.
  • Setup complexity, including app pairing, hub integration, and connecting to existing smart home systems.
  • The time of day and location of the visit, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours or urgent calls can differ from scheduled appointments.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to you anywhere in Burbank, with no storefront and no need to bring the door to us.
  • Experience since 1987 means we understand the old hardware underneath the new technology, which matters on Burbank's many vintage doors.
  • We prefer sturdy, well-regarded deadbolts and tell you honestly when a particular smart lock is not a good fit for your door or needs.
  • We make sure the door itself works properly first, because a sagging door or poor strike alignment is the most common cause of smart lock trouble.
  • We set up mechanical key backups and teach you how to manage codes and batteries, so you stay in control of access.
  • We handle both installations and troubleshooting, including locks you bought elsewhere that you could not get working.

Smart Lock Installation across Burbank

Burbank has an unusually wide range of properties, and smart locks look different in each. In Magnolia Park, many 1920s to 1940s Spanish and California bungalows still carry original mortise and skeleton-key hardware. Owners there often want modern convenience without ruining a vintage door, so we look at options like adding a modern Grade-1 deadbolt with keypad entry, or a retrofit unit that mounts on the interior side so the original look stays intact. The same neighborhood's Magnolia Boulevard antique row is a reminder that many people here value keeping the character of what they have.

On the other side of town, the Rancho District has gated equestrian properties with barns, stables and tack rooms. Keypad entry can be a practical upgrade for a gate or outbuilding, since you can give a farrier, trainer or ranch hand a code instead of a key, then change it when they are done. Weather-rated hardware matters, and we help choose items that handle dust, moisture and daily use. Homes across ZIP codes like 91504 and 91505 also include 1950s ranch tracts, where a smart deadbolt is often a straightforward upgrade.

In the Media District, near the studios and along Olive Avenue, Hollywood Way and Victory Boulevard, offices and aluminum-storefront suites have their own needs, from keypad entry for staff to access that is easy to update when crews change. We work with businesses in ZIP code 91505 and neighboring areas, whether you are near Warner Bros. Studios, Walt Disney Studios, Downtown Burbank or the Hollywood Burbank Airport. Wherever you are, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Smart Lock Installation in Burbank — FAQs

Can you install a smart lock on an older Burbank bungalow door?
Often, yes. Many Magnolia Park bungalows have original mortise locks and older wood doors. Depending on the door, we can add a modern deadbolt with keypad or smart features, or use a retrofit option that preserves the look. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what your door can handle.
Do you offer smart lock installation at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need us, including evenings, weekends and holidays.
Can you set up a smart lock I already bought?
In most cases, yes. We install and program locks purchased elsewhere, check that they fit your door, and pair them with your phone or hub. If a model is a poor match for your door, we will tell you honestly and suggest alternatives.
What if the batteries die or the app stops working?
Most quality smart locks include a mechanical key override or an emergency way to power the lock. We show you how yours works during setup. If you are locked out or the lock stops responding, call (323) 997-8867 for help.
Are smart locks secure enough for my home or business?
A good smart lock on a well-fitted door can be a solid choice, but security depends on the quality of the deadbolt, the strike plate, the door and frame, and how you manage codes. We recommend sturdy hardware and set things up to reduce weak points.
Can a smart lock work for a gate or barn on a Rancho District property?
Often it can, using weather-resistant keypad hardware suited to gates and outbuildings. The right choice depends on the gate type, exposure to the elements, and power or battery options. We can look at the setup and recommend something durable.
Can you set up access codes for employees at a Media District office?
Yes. We can install keypad or smart locks and program individual codes so you can update access when staff or crews change. For larger setups, we can also talk through master-keying and rekeying as part of an overall access plan.
How is the price of a smart lock installation determined?
It depends on the lock type, the condition of the door, whether new prep is needed, how many locks and users are involved, and the setup required. Call (323) 997-8867 with details about your door and we can explain what affects the cost before we begin.
