A high security lock is built to resist the methods that defeat ordinary hardware: picking, bumping, drilling, and forced removal. In Calabasas, where many homes sit behind guard gates, driveway gates and alarm systems, the lock on the actual door is still the last barrier. A gate and a gatehouse deter casual trouble, but they do not stop someone who has already gotten past them, or someone who already has access, such as a former contractor or staff member holding an old key.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar is hands-on with this kind of work. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We come to you, look at the doors, frames and strike plates, and recommend hardware that suits how the property is really used.

Much of Calabasas mixes Mediterranean and Tuscan tract homes, hillside custom estates, newer construction with European multipoint locks, and some older 1970s and 80s tracts. Each calls for a different approach. A high security cylinder dropped into a weak frame is only half a solution, so we look at the whole door, not just the lock.

How it works in Calabasas

  1. 1

    Talk through your situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are protecting and why. A recent change of household staff, a move, a break-in nearby, or a general upgrade each point toward different hardware and key control choices.

  2. 2

    Assess doors, frames and existing hardware

    We come to the property and check the door material, frame, strike plate, hinges and current lock. Multipoint systems on newer homes, older tract doors, and gate hardware each have their own limits, and we point out weak spots honestly.

  3. 3

    Choose the cylinder and key control level

    We explain options such as pick-, bump- and drill-resistant cylinders and restricted keyways, where duplicates cannot be cut at a typical hardware kiosk. You decide how tightly you want to control who can copy a key.

  4. 4

    Install and reinforce

    We fit the new hardware and, where it helps, reinforce the strike, frame or plate so the door resists force as well as picking. We test the lock repeatedly so it operates smoothly.

  5. 5

    Hand over keys and coordinate access

    We hand over your keys and explain how to order more. If the property uses a smart lock, alarm integration or gatehouse access, we help keep your mechanical key and electronic access working together.

What affects the price

  • The grade and brand of the high security cylinder or deadbolt, and whether it uses a restricted keyway with controlled key duplication.
  • How many doors, gates or cylinders are being converted, and whether you want them all keyed alike.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since reinforcement may be needed for the new lock to deliver real protection.
  • Specialty hardware such as European multipoint systems, driveway gate locks, or safe servicing, which take more time and parts.
  • Extra keys, key cards or restricted key copies you want at handover.
  • The time of day and location of the visit, since we are available 24/7 for urgent needs.

Why Calabasas chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so the work is done at your door rather than in a shop, and we can assess the real conditions on site.
  • Operating since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar directly involved in the trade.
  • We look at the door, frame and strike, not just the cylinder, so you are not paying for a lock the door cannot support.
  • Experience with the mix of hardware found in Calabasas, from multipoint locks on newer homes to older tract-home deadbolts.
  • Plain explanations of what each option does and does not protect against, without scare tactics.
  • Available 24/7, including when a failed smart lock or an urgent security concern cannot wait.

High Security Locks across Calabasas

Calabasas has a distinctive security picture. In guard-gated neighborhoods like The Oaks and Calabasas Hills, residents often assume the gate does the work. But service providers, past tenants, staff and guests may all have had access, and a smart lock that fails leaves you reliant on a mechanical override. We can fit a high security cylinder that works alongside your smart lock, so a dead battery does not mean a locked-out family. For ZIP code 91302, that is a common scenario.

Hillside estates and custom homes near Mulwood and along Mulholland Highway bring larger projects: a driveway gate lock, a front-door multipoint lock, and sometimes a floor safe all needing attention, often after a change of household staff. Rekeying or upgrading everything together and limiting who can copy keys is a sensible way to close that gap.

We also work with realtors handling gated-community listings, where rekeying and a lockbox must be coordinated through the HOA gatehouse. Whether you are near The Commons at Calabasas, Old Town on Calabasas Road, Calabasas Lake, or off Las Virgenes Road and the US-101 corridor, we come to you any hour of the day.

High Security Locks in Calabasas — FAQs

What makes a lock high security?
High security locks are designed to resist picking, bumping and drilling, and often use restricted keys that are harder to copy. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can explain which options suit your doors.
Will a high security lock work with my smart lock in Calabasas?
Often yes. Many homes in The Oaks and Calabasas Hills combine a smart lock with a mechanical key. We can install a strong mechanical cylinder so you still have a reliable override if the electronics fail.
Can you service my driveway gate lock too?
We can look at gate locks as part of a security upgrade at an estate. Describe your setup when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will tell you what we can do.
Does my door need reinforcement?
Sometimes. A strong lock in a weak frame or with a short strike can still be kicked in. We check the door and frame on site and tell you honestly if reinforcement would help.
I recently changed household staff. What should I do?
Rekeying or replacing cylinders, ideally with restricted keys, ensures old keys no longer work. We can handle the front door, gates and other locks in one visit.
Can you rekey a gated-community listing for a realtor?
Yes, we can rekey a listing and coordinate lockbox arrangements through the HOA gatehouse. Call (323) 997-8867 to plan it around the community's access rules.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your home or business in Calabasas, available 24/7.
Can you work on European multipoint locks?
Many newer Calabasas homes use them. We can assess the lock and recommend service or cylinder upgrades based on what your door has.
