A high security lock is not simply a more expensive deadbolt. The difference is in the engineering: tighter tolerances, hardened inserts that resist drilling, pin designs that frustrate picking and bumping, and key systems where copies cannot be cut at just any kiosk. For some Camarillo doors that extra protection is worth it, and for others a well-installed standard grade deadbolt is the smarter spend. We will tell you which is which.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen how Camarillo's mix of housing and commercial space shapes real security needs. A tract home in Mission Oaks, a gated home in Spanish Hills, a retail unit at the Premium Outlets and a hangar-adjacent business near the Camarillo Airport each call for a different approach.

We are a mobile service only, with no storefront. We bring the hardware, tools and know-how to your door, assess what is already there, and install the lock on the spot. Because we work at your property, we can fit the lock to your actual door, frame and strike instead of guessing from a phone description.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Talk through your goals

    We start with a call to (323) 997-8867. Tell us what you are protecting, whether you have had a break-in or attempt, and whether you want restricted keys, keyed-alike locks or both. This lets us bring suitable hardware to the visit.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and frame

    A strong lock in a weak door still fails. On site we check the door material, thickness, hinges, strike plate and frame. Many Camarillo homes from the 1960s through the 2000s have thin strikes and short screws that matter as much as the cylinder.

  3. 3

    Choose the lock and key system

    We explain the options in plain language: pick- and bump-resistant cylinders, drill-resistant hardened components, and restricted keyways where duplication is controlled. We match grade and features to your door and your budget, not to the most expensive item on the truck.

  4. 4

    Install and reinforce

    We fit the lock, correct alignment problems, and reinforce the strike and frame where it makes sense. Clean installation matters, because a high security lock that binds or sticks tends to get left unlocked.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, check the door closes and latches smoothly, and hand over your keys along with guidance on how to order additional authorized copies if your system is restricted.

What affects the price

  • The lock itself: grade, brand line and whether it uses a restricted, patent-protected key system all affect cost.
  • The number of doors and cylinders, and whether you want them keyed alike so one key works throughout.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since reinforcing a weak strike, hinges or jamb adds parts and labor.
  • Whether you are replacing existing hardware, converting a standard deadbolt, or fitting an entirely new door preparation.
  • Commercial needs such as storefront, mortise or aluminum-frame doors, which often require specialty hardware.
  • Time of day and urgency, since we operate 24/7 and after-hours or emergency calls are scheduled differently from planned appointments.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7 service: we come to your door in Camarillo rather than asking you to visit a shop.
  • Operating in Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner David Shar.
  • Honest recommendations: if a properly installed standard deadbolt fits your risk, we will say so rather than upsell.
  • We look at the whole door system, including strike plate, frame and hinges, not only the cylinder.
  • Experience across both residential and commercial doors, from tract homes to aluminum storefronts.
  • Clear explanation of restricted key systems so you understand who can and cannot duplicate your keys.

High Security Locks across Camarillo

Camarillo spreads from the historic blocks of Old Town Camarillo to the hillsides of Camarillo Heights and Spanish Hills, and the security picture changes along the way. In Mission Oaks and much of the city core in ZIP 93010, suburban tract homes built between the 1960s and 2000s often have builder-grade deadbolts and light strike plates. Upgrading the front and garage-entry doors to pick- and bump-resistant cylinders is a common and practical improvement, and it pairs well with a post-purchase rekey for new owners.

Spanish Hills and its partly gated streets tend toward newer construction, where owners often want a high security cylinder behind a smart deadbolt or on side and rear doors that a gate does not cover. In the older semi-rural homes of Camarillo Heights, in the 93012 area, long driveways and distance from neighbors make door strength and drill-resistant hardware especially worthwhile. Leisure Village, a large 55+ community with standardized hardware, calls for something different: simple, easy-to-use locks and rekeys that keep residents safe without making the door harder to operate.

On the commercial side, retail units at the Camarillo Premium Outlets use aluminum-framed storefront doors that need specialty locks and closers, and business parks near Daily Dr, Carmen Dr and the Camarillo Airport often want keyed-alike restricted systems. Old Town's historic storefronts and period hardware, including the kind found around the 1892 Camarillo Ranch House, benefit from solutions that respect the original look. Whether you are off US-101, along Las Posas Rd or in ZIP 93011, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

High Security Locks in Camarillo — FAQs

What makes a lock high security?
High security locks resist common attack methods such as picking, bumping and drilling, using tighter tolerances, hardened inserts and specialized pin designs. Many also use restricted keys that are hard to copy without authorization.
Do I need a high security lock on my Camarillo home?
Not always. A well-installed standard deadbolt with a reinforced strike is enough for many homes. High security makes sense if you have had an incident, live on a secluded property, or want controlled key duplication. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will give an honest opinion.
Can you upgrade the locks I already have?
Often yes. We can replace the cylinder or the whole deadbolt, and we check that the door and frame can support it. If the strike or jamb is weak, we recommend reinforcing it too.
What is a restricted key?
A restricted key uses a keyway and blank that are controlled, so copies generally require authorization instead of being cut at any hardware store. It helps you track who has access to your property.
Can you key several doors alike?
Yes. We can set up multiple high security locks so one key operates them all, which is convenient for homes with several entrances and for businesses with multiple doors.
Do you work on commercial and storefront doors?
Yes. We handle commercial locks, including aluminum storefront doors like those in retail centers, along with closers and mortise hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are a 24/7 mobile locksmith. You can call at any hour, though planned upgrades are often easier to schedule during the day.
Do I need to visit your shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We bring the hardware to your home or business in Camarillo and install it on site.
