A lock does not usually fail all at once. The deadbolt starts to stick in cold morning air, the key needs a wiggle, the latch no longer catches unless you lean on the door, or a smart lock keeps dropping its connection. In Calabasas, where homes range from 1970s and 80s tracts to Mediterranean and Tuscan homes in gated communities and newer builds with European multipoint hardware, the right replacement depends a lot on what is already in the door.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and the team are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to. We bring the work to your front door, a side gate, a garage entry or a back slider, and we are available around the clock, including when a lock fails at an inconvenient hour.

Lock replacement is different from rekeying. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working, while replacement swaps the hardware itself. Replacement makes sense when the lock is damaged, worn out, outdated, mismatched across doors, or simply not the security level or style you want. We will tell you plainly which one fits your situation, even if it means a simpler fix than you expected.

How it works in Calabasas

  1. 1

    Call and describe the doors

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us which doors are involved, what the current locks are like, and what is going wrong. Mention if you have a driveway gate, a multipoint lock, a smart lock, or an HOA with rules about hardware or access.

  2. 2

    Assess what is already installed

    At your home we look at the lock, the strike plate, the door edge and the frame. Many problems blamed on the lock are really a misaligned door or loose hardware, and we will say so before replacing anything unnecessary.

  3. 3

    Choose the right replacement

    We go over options for security level, finish, keying and smart features. If you want every door on one key, we can plan that. If your HOA or gatehouse needs to be considered, we factor that in.

  4. 4

    Remove the old hardware and install the new

    We take out the old lock and fit the new one with correct alignment so the bolt throws fully and the latch catches cleanly. Where a door has been drilled or worn, we address that so the new lock sits properly.

  5. 5

    Test, key and hand over

    We cycle every lock several times with the door open and closed, confirm each key works, and for smart locks walk you through programming and the mechanical backup. You leave with working keys and clear instructions.

What affects the price

  • How many locks or doors are being replaced, and whether you want them keyed alike.
  • The type of hardware: a standard deadbolt, a higher-security grade, a smart lock, or a European multipoint system each involve different parts and labor.
  • The condition of the door and frame, including any drilling, alignment or strike plate work needed for a proper fit.
  • Whether specialty items are involved, such as a driveway gate lock, a patio slider, or integration with an alarm or access system.
  • The time and location of the visit, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours calls differ from scheduled daytime work.
  • Whether the job is a straight swap or combines replacement with other services like rekeying or safe work.

Why Calabasas chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: every job is done at your property, with no storefront trip and no waiting for a part to come back from a shop.
  • Honest about replace versus rekey, so you are not sold new hardware when a rekey or adjustment would solve the problem.
  • Familiar with the lock types common around Calabasas, from older tract-home deadbolts to European multipoint locks and smart locks in gated communities.
  • Owner-led experience: David Shar has been in the trade since 1987, and that experience goes into how each door is assessed.
  • Available 24/7, so a broken lock after a break-in attempt or a failed smart lock does not have to wait for business hours.
  • Every install is tested before we leave, and you get a walk-through of how the new hardware works.

Lock Replacement across Calabasas

Calabasas is a mix of settings, and lock replacement looks different in each. In The Oaks and Calabasas Hills, many homes sit behind guard gates, with Mediterranean and Tuscan tract homes that often pair smart locks with alarm and access integration. A common call is a smart lock that stops responding, leaving a resident needing a mechanical override and reprogramming once they have cleared the gatehouse. In Mulwood and the older 1970s and 80s tracts, the hardware is often original and worn, and a full replacement gives a real security upgrade.

Hillside custom estates bring their own needs. After a change in household staff, owners often want the front multipoint lock, the driveway gate lock and sometimes a floor safe all reviewed at once. We can plan that as one visit. Realtors working listings in gated communities also call us to replace or rekey locks, coordinating lockbox access through the HOA gatehouse.

We serve ZIP code 91302 and the surrounding area, whether you are near Old Town Calabasas on Calabasas Rd, close to The Commons at Calabasas, off Las Virgenes Road, or toward Mulholland Hwy and Old Topanga Canyon Rd. US-101 makes much of the city easy to reach. We also handle aluminum storefront and lifestyle retail doors like those around The Commons. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.

Lock Replacement in Calabasas — FAQs

What is the difference between lock replacement and rekeying?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping the same lock body. Replacement swaps the whole lock. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will tell you which suits your doors.
Do you offer lock replacement 24/7 in Calabasas?
Yes. We are fully mobile and available around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to your home.
Can you replace a smart lock that failed inside The Oaks?
Yes. We can use the mechanical override if needed, then repair, replace or reprogram the lock. You will need to clear the guard gate first, and we work with the gatehouse process.
Can you service a multipoint lock on a newer home?
Yes. European multipoint locks are common on newer Calabasas construction, and we can assess, repair or replace them. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Can you do all my locks on one key?
Yes. We can replace or rekey multiple locks so one key works for every door, and we will talk through which approach makes sense for your hardware.
Do you work on driveway gate locks and safes?
Yes. Hillside estates often need a driveway gate lock, a front lock and a floor safe serviced together. We can plan that as one visit.
Can a realtor have a listing's locks replaced?
Yes. We help realtors with locks on gated-community listings and can coordinate lockbox access through the HOA gatehouse. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Do I have to come to a shop?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront. We do the work at your property.
