Installing a lock sounds simple until the door in front of you turns out to be a hollow-core slab in a 1950s dingbat, a solid wood door from the Owensmouth era, or an aluminum storefront on Sherman Way. Each one needs different hardware and a different approach. A lock that is fitted badly, with a loose bore, a misaligned strike, or short screws, is only about as secure as the weakest part of the door around it.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has worked on many door types across the San Fernando Valley. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, so we come to the property in Canoga Park, look at the door and frame, and install what suits them.

This page covers new installations: a first deadbolt on a door that never had one, a lock on a newly hung door, a new entry set after a remodel, or added security on a side gate or garage entry. If you are replacing a broken lock or rekeying an existing one, tell us when you call and we will point the job the right way.

How it works in Canoga Park

  1. 1

    You call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the door type (wood, metal, hollow-core, glass, or aluminum storefront), whether it is already drilled, and what you want the lock to do. Photos of the door edge and frame help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    We inspect the door and frame on site

    Before any drilling, we check door thickness, the condition of the jamb, and whether the frame can hold a deadbolt strike. Older bungalow doors and thin rental doors sometimes need reinforcement, and we tell you that up front.

  3. 3

    We agree on hardware and the plan

    We walk you through the options that fit your door: single-cylinder or double-cylinder deadbolts, knobs, levers, or keyed-alike sets so one key works several doors. You approve the plan before we start.

  4. 4

    We install and align the lock

    We bore the door, fit the latch and bolt, set the strike plate, and use screws long enough to reach the framing behind the jamb. We then check that the bolt throws fully without binding.

  5. 5

    We test and hand over the keys

    We cycle the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm every key works, and show you how it operates. You get the keys and any notes on care for that hardware.

What affects the price

  • The type and grade of lock chosen, from basic deadbolts to higher-security cylinders and commercial-grade hardware.
  • Whether the door is already bored or needs new holes cut for the lock and bolt.
  • Door material and condition, since solid wood, hollow-core, metal, and aluminum storefront doors each take different work.
  • Frame and strike reinforcement, which older or worn jambs often need for the lock to be effective.
  • The number of locks and whether they should be keyed alike or on a master-key system.
  • Time of day and the location of the job, since after-hours calls take us out at night.

Why Canoga Park chooses us

  • We are fully mobile, so the work happens at your door and you do not need to bring the door anywhere.
  • Since 1987, our work has covered everything from pre-1960 bungalow doors to modern commercial storefronts.
  • We check the frame before drilling, because a good lock in a weak jamb does little.
  • We explain options and agree on the plan with you before starting, rather than surprising you afterward.
  • The owner, David Shar, leads the work and sets the standard for how jobs are done.
  • We are available around the clock, so a new door hung late in the day can be secured that same night.

Lock Installation across Canoga Park

Canoga Park has a wide mix of doors. Near the original Owensmouth townsite, which dates to 1912, you find stucco and Spanish bungalows from the 1910s to 1930s with thick wood doors, and some still carry old mortise hardware. Adding a modern deadbolt there takes care, because we want to protect the door and keep its character. In the 91303 and 91304 areas, much of the housing is 1950s and 60s tract homes and dingbat apartments, where doors are often thin and a first deadbolt or an upgraded one is a common request.

Along the Sherman Way commercial corridor, near the Madrid Theatre and the historic downtown district, many shops sit in mid-century aluminum-storefront strips. Those doors use narrow stiles, so lock choice is limited to hardware that fits. We install storefront locks and can set up keying for several doors. Toward Gault Street and the Topanga area near Warner Center, and around ZIP 91303 and 91305, newer offices and apartments call for sets that match building needs.

Whether you are near Lanark Park, Canoga Park High School, Roscoe Blvd, Vanowen St, or Topanga Canyon Blvd, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will plan the installation around your door.

Lock Installation in Canoga Park — FAQs

Do you install locks on doors that never had one?
Yes. We bore the door, fit the latch and bolt, and set the strike so the lock works properly. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Can you install a deadbolt in an older Owensmouth-era bungalow door?
Usually yes. Solid wood doors take a deadbolt well, but we check the thickness and frame first, and we work to protect the door and any original trim.
Will a deadbolt fit my thin dingbat apartment door?
Often it can, but thin or hollow-core doors may need reinforcement around the bore. We inspect the door and tell you honestly what it needs. If you rent, check with your landlord first.
Can you install locks on a Sherman Way storefront?
Yes. We work with aluminum-storefront doors and the narrow-stile hardware they need, and can key several doors together. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your shop.
Are you open at night or on weekends?
We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so a new door can be secured outside business hours. We do not promise specific arrival times.
Can all my locks use the same key?
Yes. We can install keyed-alike sets so one key works multiple doors, and for businesses we can discuss master-key setups.
What is the difference between installation and replacement?
Installation adds a lock where none existed, such as a new door or a first deadbolt. Replacement swaps out an existing lock. Tell us which you need when you call.
Do I need to be home during installation?
An adult who can authorize the work should be present, or an authorized contact for a business. We confirm details by phone first at (323) 997-8867.
