A new lock is more than a piece of hardware. Whether you have just closed on a house in Mission Oaks, added a gate or side door at a Spanish Hills property, or built out a unit in one of Camarillo's business parks, the first lock on a door sets the baseline for how secure that opening will be. Installing it well means the bolt lines up, the strike plate is anchored into solid framing, and the door actually closes and latches without force.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. We bring the tools, drill guides and hardware options to your door, look at what the door is made of and how it hangs, and recommend something that fits instead of something that merely sits in the box.

Lock installation differs from rekeying or repair because there may be no existing bore to work from. A door with no hole for a deadbolt needs the right cross-bore and edge-bore cut cleanly, and a door that is hollow, solid wood, metal or fiberglass each calls for a slightly different approach. We explain the options plainly before any drilling starts.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door: exterior or interior, wood, metal or fiberglass, and whether it is a house, a gate, or a commercial opening. Photos help if you have them. We are available around the clock, so you can call when it suits you.

  2. 2

    On-site assessment

    Our technician comes to you and checks the door's thickness, condition, and the frame it closes into. A door that is warped, cracked near the edge, or set in a weak jamb needs to be addressed first, because a strong lock in a weak door does little good.

  3. 3

    Choose the hardware

    We go over deadbolts, handlesets, knob and lever sets, and smart or keypad options, and match them to how you use the door. A family wanting keypad entry for kids has different needs than a business wanting keyed-alike locks across several doors.

  4. 4

    Precise drilling and fitting

    We mark and drill the cross-bore and edge-bore with guides so the holes are square, then mortise the latch faceplate flush. The strike is set in the frame, and on exterior doors we recommend longer screws that reach the framing behind the jamb.

  5. 5

    Test and hand-off

    We operate the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, check that the bolt fully throws without binding, and confirm every key works. For smart locks we walk you through setting codes and settings. You leave knowing how it works.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen, from a basic keyed deadbolt to a keypad or smart lock with app features.
  • Door material and condition, since solid wood, metal and fiberglass doors are prepared differently and a damaged door may need repair first.
  • Whether the door is already bored for a lock or needs fresh holes cut from scratch.
  • The number of locks, and whether you want them keyed alike so one key opens several doors.
  • Frame and strike reinforcement, such as upgraded plates and longer screws on exterior doors.
  • Residential versus commercial hardware grades, including storefront or mortise-style requirements.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile service. We come to your door anywhere in Camarillo rather than asking you to bring the door or the hardware to us.
  • Available 24/7, so a door that cannot be secured tonight, such as after a break-in repair or a new build, does not have to wait.
  • In business since 1987 under owner David Shar, which means decades of experience with the range of doors found in Ventura County homes and commercial buildings.
  • We match hardware to the actual door and how you use it, and we tell you plainly when a door or frame needs attention before a new lock will help.
  • Experience across both residential and commercial work, from tract-home deadbolts to aluminum-frame storefront doors.

Lock Installation across Camarillo

Camarillo's housing varies more than people expect, and that shapes how installation work goes. Across Mission Oaks and much of the city core, the 1960s to 2000s single-family tract homes typically have standard door preps, so adding a second deadbolt to a side door or upgrading to a smart deadbolt after a purchase is usually straightforward. In Spanish Hills, where homes are newer and some are gated, owners often want matching hardware on a new gate, casita or garage entry. Older semi-rural hillside houses in Camarillo Heights can have doors and frames that have settled over the years, so we check alignment before fitting anything.

Historic Old Town Camarillo and the 1892 Camarillo Ranch House are reminders that period buildings call for care. Older wood doors and original trim should not be drilled carelessly, and we discuss options that respect the look of the door. On the commercial side, retail units near the Camarillo Premium Outlets typically use aluminum-framed storefront doors, which take specialized locks and closers rather than the residential hardware found at home. Business and light-industrial parks, and tenants near Camarillo Airport, often need new doors secured and keyed to a system.

We work throughout Camarillo, including ZIP codes 93010, 93012 and 93011, and reach properties off US-101, Las Posas Rd, Ventura Blvd, Daily Dr, Carmen Dr, Pleasant Valley Rd and SR-34 (Lewis Rd). Leisure Village residents often have standardized hardware, which makes matching new locks simple. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need us.

Lock Installation in Camarillo — FAQs

What is the difference between lock installation and rekeying?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of an existing lock so old keys no longer work. Installation puts a new lock on a door, often one that never had one. If you just bought a Camarillo home, you may want both. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk through which fits.
Can you install a lock on a door that has no hole for one?
Yes. We drill the cross-bore and edge-bore with guides and fit the latch and strike. We first check that the door material and thickness are suitable, and we explain anything that needs repair before drilling.
Do you install smart locks and keypad deadbolts?
Yes. We install keypad and smart deadbolts and help set up codes. We will check your door and the way you use it first, since not every feature suits every household.
Can you work on storefront doors at a retail center?
Yes. Aluminum-framed storefront doors use different locks and closers than a house door. We assess the frame and recommend suitable hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your unit.
Do I need to visit a shop to choose my hardware?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We bring options to your door in Camarillo and help you choose based on the actual door.
Can you key several new locks the same?
Yes. We can key multiple locks alike so one key opens the front door, side door and garage entry, which is handy for homes and small businesses.
Will installing a lock damage my historic or older wooden door?
We take care with older doors and talk through options before drilling. Some period doors suit surface-mounted or carefully fitted hardware. If your door is original or delicate, mention it when you call.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes. We operate 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, including when a door needs to be secured urgently.
