A lock does not usually fail all at once. The key starts to stick, the deadbolt needs a shoulder-push to throw, the latch drags on the strike plate, or a handle wobbles a little more each month. In Camarillo, where so many homes were built between the 1960s and the 2000s, a lot of original hardware is simply tired. Replacing it is often the cleanest fix, and it is a good time to decide who holds keys to your door.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around being fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to. We bring the work to your door, whether that is a deadbolt on a tract home, a lockset on a hillside house, or storefront hardware on a retail unit.

Lock replacement is different from rekeying. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working, and it keeps the hardware you already have. Replacement means new hardware: a new deadbolt, knob, lever, or smart lock. We will help you decide which makes sense, and we will say so honestly if rekeying would do the job for less.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Tell us what is going on

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the problem: a sticking key, a loose handle, a break-in, a recent move, or a wish to upgrade. We will ask about the door type and what hardware is on it now so we arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    On site, we check the lock, the latch, the strike plate, the door edge and the frame. Sometimes the lock is fine and the real problem is a door that has shifted. We tell you what we find before changing anything.

  3. 3

    Choose the right replacement

    We go over options such as standard deadbolts, higher-security deadbolts, lever handles, keypad locks and smart deadbolts. We match the choice to your door, your household and how you want to manage keys.

  4. 4

    Remove the old lock and fit the new one

    We remove the old hardware and install the new lock, checking bore holes, backset and alignment. If the door needs a small adjustment for a clean fit, we handle it while we are there.

  5. 5

    Key it and test it

    We set up keys, and can key several locks alike so one key works front and back. We then run the bolt, latch and keys repeatedly with the door open and closed to make sure everything works smoothly.

  6. 6

    Hand over keys and explain care

    You receive all keys and any codes or app setup. We explain how to use the lock and what to watch for, so it keeps working well.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen: a basic deadbolt, a higher-security model, a lever set, a keypad lock or a smart deadbolt all differ in hardware cost.
  • How many locks are being replaced and whether you want them keyed alike to a single key.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since a misaligned door, damaged bore or worn strike plate may need extra work for the new lock to function properly.
  • Door and lock type: mortise locks on older or commercial doors and aluminum storefront hardware are more specialized than a standard residential cylinder.
  • Time of day and urgency, since after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled daytime work.
  • Whether the job also includes extras like a new strike plate, reinforcement hardware, or smart-lock setup.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we work at your door, so you never need to take a lock or a door anywhere.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead tech.
  • Available 24/7, including when a break-in or lost key means a lock must be replaced right away.
  • We tell you when rekeying is enough, rather than selling new hardware you do not need.
  • Experience across tract-home deadbolts, older hillside houses, period hardware and aluminum storefront locks.
  • We check the door, latch and strike plate, not just the lock, because a new lock on a misaligned door will not last.

Lock Replacement across Camarillo

Camarillo covers a wide range of housing, and lock needs shift from one part of town to the next. In Mission Oaks and across the city core, suburban tract homes from the 1960s through the 2000s often still have builder-grade hardware, and a post-purchase swap to new deadbolts or a smart deadbolt is a common request. Spanish Hills has newer and partly gated homes where owners often want upgraded entry hardware and keypad convenience, while older semi-rural hillside houses in Camarillo Heights can have aging locks and doors that have settled over the years.

Leisure Village, the large 55+ community, is largely built with standardized hardware. That makes replacement or rekeying fairly straightforward, and it is a place where easy-to-use levers, keypad locks and keyed-alike sets can really help residents who are tired of fumbling with keys. In Old Town Camarillo, the historic district has storefronts and period character, including the Victorian-era Camarillo Ranch House from 1892, and older buildings sometimes call for careful work with mortise or period-style hardware. We take that seriously.

We work throughout 93010, 93012 and 93011, from homes off Las Posas Rd, Carmen Dr and Daily Dr to businesses near Ventura Blvd, Pleasant Valley Rd and the US-101 corridor. On the commercial side, that includes aluminum-framed retail units at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, business and light-industrial parks, and the area around Camarillo Airport. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where you are.

Lock Replacement in Camarillo — FAQs

What is the difference between lock replacement and rekeying?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping your existing lock. Replacement installs new hardware. If your lock is in good shape, rekeying may be enough. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will help you decide.
Do you offer lock replacement at night or on weekends in Camarillo?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your Camarillo home or business when a lock must be replaced right away, such as after a break-in.
Should I replace my locks after buying a home in Mission Oaks or Spanish Hills?
It is a smart step. You cannot know who has copies of the existing keys. Depending on the hardware, we can rekey or replace it, and many new owners also add a smart deadbolt at the same time.
Can you install a smart deadbolt?
Yes. We install smart and keypad deadbolts and set them up with you. We will check that your door and frame suit the lock so it operates reliably.
Can you replace locks at Leisure Village?
Yes. We work in Leisure Village and are familiar with the standardized hardware common in the community. Easy-grip levers and keyed-alike sets can be helpful, and you can reach us at (323) 997-8867.
Can you replace storefront locks at the Camarillo Premium Outlets?
We work on commercial hardware including aluminum storefront locks and door closers. Details depend on the specific unit, so call us with the door type and the problem.
Can you work with older or historic hardware in Old Town?
We can assess period and mortise hardware. Sometimes repair or rekeying preserves the original look better than replacement, and we will tell you which approach fits.
How is the price of a replacement determined?
It depends on the lock type, how many locks, the condition of the door and frame, and the timing of the call. We explain the factors before we begin. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your situation.
