Claremont is not a cookie-cutter city, and its doors aren't either. A Craftsman bungalow near the Village, a hillside home in Claraboya, and a newer house in North Claremont each ask something different of a smart lock. Our job is to match the lock to the door, not to push one product onto every entry.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and the team come to you in a fully mobile setup. We install keypad deadbolts, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart locks, keyless entry handles, and help with the setup side too: pairing with your phone, creating codes, and getting the lock to behave the way you expect.

We also fix smart locks that were installed badly or never worked right. Misaligned latches, drifting batteries, apps that won't connect, and codes nobody can remember are all common calls. If a smart lock is not the right fit for a particular door, we will tell you plainly, and there are often good alternatives.

How it works in Claremont

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and your goals

    We start with a call to (323) 997-8867. Tell us about the door, who needs access, and whether you want phone control, codes, or simply a keypad. For a historic home, we also ask about the existing hardware so we can plan around it.

  2. 2

    Check the door, frame and existing lock

    On site, we look at door thickness, bore holes, the strike plate, and how the door closes. Smart locks depend on good alignment because motorized bolts struggle against a door that binds or sags. Older doors sometimes need small adjustments first.

  3. 3

    Choose a compatible lock

    We help you pick a lock that fits the door and your phone, Wi-Fi setup, and any smart-home system you use. We explain tradeoffs between keypad-only, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi models, including battery behavior and backup key options.

  4. 4

    Install and align the hardware

    We mount the deadbolt or handle set, align the latch and strike, and make sure the bolt throws smoothly by hand before powering anything. Where a Craftsman door is involved, we work to avoid unnecessary cutting of original wood.

  5. 5

    Set up codes, app and access

    We pair the lock, create user codes, and walk you through the app. For rentals, families or small shops, we help you set sensible access for each person so you know who can enter.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, test the keypad and app, and show you manual override and battery replacement. You leave knowing how to get in even if the batteries run low.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen, from basic keypad deadbolts to Wi-Fi connected smart locks with extra features
  • Whether your door is already prepared for a modern deadbolt or needs boring, filling or other modification
  • The condition and alignment of the door and frame, since a sticking door may need adjustment before a smart lock works reliably
  • The number of doors and locks being installed or keyed to work together
  • Whether you need setup help such as app pairing, code creation for multiple users, or integration with a smart-home system
  • Whether the call is a scheduled install or an urgent, after-hours request

Why Claremont chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the work to your door anywhere in Claremont, with no storefront trip
  • Operating since 1987, so we have seen how smart locks perform on all kinds of real doors, not just showroom ones
  • Willing to recommend against a smart lock when an older door or a historic mortise lock is better preserved or rekeyed
  • We handle setup and troubleshooting, not just mounting: app pairing, codes, batteries and manual override
  • 24/7 availability for urgent situations like a failed smart lock, a dead keypad or a lockout
  • We explain plainly what a lock can and cannot do, without hype

Smart Lock Installation across Claremont

Claremont Village, centered on Yale Avenue, is full of 1900s to 1920s Craftsman bungalows and period homes, and many still carry original mortise locks. Owners here often want modern convenience without losing character. In those cases we may suggest a keypad or smart deadbolt on a secondary entry, or adding one above a restored mortise set, so the front door's original look stays. We can also help Village shop owners who want keypad entry on back doors or storage rooms.

North Claremont and the Claraboya hillside lean toward newer and hillside homes, where smart locks fit more easily on modern doors. Hillside homes sometimes face weather and long walks from the driveway, so remote lock status and shared guest codes are especially useful. We help set those up for family, housekeepers and visitors.

For homes and small businesses in ZIP 91711, from the streets near the Colleges and Indian Hill Blvd to properties off Foothill Blvd, Base Line Rd, Towne Ave or Mills Ave, we come to you. Large institutional systems at The Claremont Colleges follow their own access-control rules, but for off-campus housing, local offices and private residences near the I-10 and SR-210, we are available day or night at (323) 997-8867.

Smart Lock Installation in Claremont — FAQs

Can you install a smart lock on an older Claremont Craftsman door?
Often yes, though it depends on the door. We look at thickness, existing bore holes and condition. For doors with original mortise locks, we may suggest adding a smart deadbolt elsewhere or keeping the mortise lock. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Do you work 24/7 for smart lock problems?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so if a smart lock fails or you are locked out, call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Do I have to buy the lock from you?
We can supply and recommend locks suited to your door. If you already bought one, we can often install it, though we will check that it fits your door and is a reasonable choice first.
What happens if the batteries die?
Most smart locks give low-battery warnings, and many have a backup key or external power contact. We show you your lock's specific override during handover so you are not stuck.
Can you set up codes for family, guests or tenants?
Yes. We create and explain user codes and, on app-connected locks, help you manage who has access. This is useful for rentals, hillside homes and shared properties.
Will a smart lock work with my Wi-Fi and phone?
Compatibility varies by model. We check your phone type and home network or smart-home system before choosing a lock. Call (323) 997-8867 if you want to confirm before buying.
Can you fix a smart lock that stopped working?
Yes. Common causes include misaligned latches, weak batteries, connection problems and worn parts. We diagnose the cause and repair, reset or replace as appropriate.
Do you handle Claremont Colleges access-control systems?
Campus buildings generally run on institutional systems managed by the colleges. We are glad to help with off-campus homes, rentals and local businesses, and can discuss what you need by phone.
