Homes in Calabasas are not all alike, and the locks on them aren't either. One street may have Mediterranean and Tuscan tract homes with driveway gates and smart locks tied into an alarm. Another may have a hillside custom estate with a European-style multipoint lock on a heavy front door. A few 1970s and 1980s tracts still run on original hardware that has seen decades of use. A good residential locksmith has to be comfortable with all of it.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar brings that long experience to Calabasas homes. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. We come to you with the tools and parts for the job, at any hour, because lockouts and broken locks rarely happen on a convenient schedule.

Our residential work covers the everyday and the complicated: rekeying after a move or a change of household staff, replacing worn or damaged deadbolts and handlesets, repairing sticking or misaligned latches, servicing gate locks and safes, and upgrading a home to better hardware. If you are not sure what you need, describe the problem and we will help you sort out the simplest sensible fix.

How it works in Calabasas

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the type of door, the lock brand if you know it, whether the home is in a gated community, and what is going wrong. That helps us bring the right parts and plan for any gate or gatehouse steps.

  2. 2

    Confirm access and who is authorized

    We will want to know you live at or are authorized to work on the property. In guarded communities like The Oaks, we may need to coordinate with the gatehouse so we can reach your door.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and the door

    On arrival we look at the lock, the strike, the door alignment and any smart or alarm integration. Often a lock that seems broken is a worn latch, a swollen door or a dead battery, and we say so before recommending a replacement.

  4. 4

    Repair, rekey or replace

    We choose the least disruptive option that solves the problem. Rekeying changes who can open the lock without replacing hardware. Replacement or upgrade makes sense when a lock is damaged, outdated or not suited to the door.

  5. 5

    Test everything and hand over keys

    We cycle each lock repeatedly, check that the door closes and latches properly, test gate or smart lock functions we worked on, and give you working keys or codes. We also explain what we changed so you know how your home is secured.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: a rekey, a repair, a full replacement and a multi-lock upgrade each involve different labor and parts.
  • The hardware itself, including standard deadbolts, high-security cylinders, smart locks and European multipoint systems, which vary widely in cost and complexity.
  • The number of locks, doors, gates or safes involved in a single visit.
  • Time of day, since after-hours, overnight and holiday calls differ from scheduled daytime work.
  • Access and site conditions, such as gate or gatehouse coordination, long hillside driveways or doors that need extra adjustment.
  • Whether a lockout is simple or involves a damaged lock, a failed smart lock or a door that must be repaired to secure the home.

Why Calabasas chooses us

  • Serving Southern California homes since 1987, so older tract hardware and newer designs are both familiar.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, with no storefront, so the focus stays on getting to the customer.
  • Comfortable with smart locks, driveway gate locks, safes and multipoint systems, not just standard deadbolts.
  • We tell you when a repair or rekey will do instead of pushing a full replacement.
  • Experience working through guard-gated community procedures, including gatehouse coordination.
  • The owner, David Shar, leads the work, so there is clear accountability for the service.

Residential Locksmith across Calabasas

Calabasas has a distinctive mix of housing, and that shapes the calls we get. In guard-gated neighborhoods like The Oaks and Calabasas Hills, many homes have smart locks, driveway gates and alarm or access integration. When a smart lock fails, a resident can be stuck outside after clearing the gatehouse. We can use mechanical override, get the door open, and then reprogram or replace the electronics so the lock works as intended again.

Hillside custom estates, and homes in areas like Mulwood, often bring bigger projects. A household might change staff and want the driveway gate lock, the front multipoint lock and a floor safe serviced together, so previous keys and codes no longer matter. Newer construction frequently uses European multipoint locks that need proper alignment and the right parts, and we approach them with care rather than guesswork.

We serve homes across ZIP code 91302, from streets near Calabasas Lake and The Commons at Calabasas to properties off Las Virgenes Road, Mulholland Highway and Old Topanga Canyon Road, and neighborhoods easy to reach from US-101. Realtors also call us to rekey listings in gated communities, where a lockbox has to be arranged through the HOA gatehouse. Since we are mobile only, we come to wherever the lock needs attention.

Residential Locksmith in Calabasas — FAQs

Do you offer 24/7 residential locksmith service in Calabasas?
Yes. We are available around the clock and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night, and we will talk through your situation.
Can you help if my smart lock fails and I'm locked out in The Oaks?
Yes. We can use mechanical override when the lock allows it, get you inside, and then reprogram or replace the smart lock. In a guard-gated community we may need to coordinate with the gatehouse first.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after buying a home?
Rekeying is often enough, because it makes old keys useless without replacing the hardware. If locks are worn, damaged or mismatched, replacement may be the better choice. We can look and advise.
Can you service a driveway gate lock, front multipoint lock and a safe in one visit?
Often, yes. Many hillside estates in Calabasas have all three, and handling them together is efficient, especially after a change of household staff. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what you have.
Do you work on European multipoint locks?
Yes. Newer Calabasas construction often uses multipoint systems, and we can repair, adjust or replace them. Proper door alignment matters as much as the lock itself.
Can you rekey a listing in a gated community for a realtor?
Yes. We can rekey the home and help with lockbox arrangements, which in gated communities usually go through the HOA gatehouse. Contact us at (323) 997-8867 so we can plan around access.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are mobile only and come to your home, so there is no storefront to visit.
How is the cost of a residential job determined?
It depends on the type of work, the hardware, the number of locks, the time of day and site access. We explain the job before starting so you know what to expect.
