Installing a lock where none existed is a different job from replacing one. It can mean a new entry door, a converted garage, a side gate, a freshly built office suite, or a patio slider that came with only a basic latch. The door itself has to be measured, bored and fitted correctly, because a good lock in a poorly prepared door will still fail. Crenshaw Lock Company has handled this kind of work across Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around doing the fitting properly.

Hacienda Heights has an interesting mix of buildings. Much of the housing was built in the 1960s and 1970s, so you find tract homes on the flats with attached garages and sliding patio doors, then larger custom and view homes climbing the Puente Hills slopes. Those homes often have gated driveways and higher-grade entry hardware, and a growing number of owners are choosing electronic or smart deadbolts. Each of these calls for a different approach to installation.

We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools and a range of hardware to your door, look at what you have, and recommend what makes sense. You can call any hour, day or night, at (323) 997-8867.

How it works in Hacienda Heights

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    We start with a phone conversation about what is being secured: an exterior entry, a garage side door, a patio slider, an interior office, or a gate. We ask about the door material, whether it is new or existing, and whether you want a keyed deadbolt, a keypad, or a smart lock.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door on site

    When we arrive, we check the door's thickness, material, condition and alignment, along with the frame and strike area. A door that is warped or has a weak frame can undermine any lock, so we tell you plainly if something should be addressed first.

  3. 3

    Choose hardware that fits the use

    We go over options suited to your situation. A tract home front door, a hillside entry with heavier traffic, a slider needing a secondary lock, and a Colima Rd suite each point to different hardware. We explain the tradeoffs in security, convenience and upkeep.

  4. 4

    Drill, fit and set the lock

    We mark and bore the door to the correct dimensions, install the latch and deadbolt, and set the strike plate into the frame. Clean, accurate boring keeps the bolt throwing smoothly and avoids the weak spots that come from rushed holes.

  5. 5

    Test, key and walk you through it

    We operate the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm the bolt fully engages, and check that keys or codes work. If you chose an electronic model, we set up codes and show you how to manage them. Then we hand over keys and review care tips.

What affects the price

  • The type of door, since solid wood, metal, fiberglass and glass doors each need different drilling methods and sometimes different tools.
  • Whether the door is already prepared with bore holes or needs fresh boring from scratch.
  • The hardware you select, from a standard keyed deadbolt to a keypad or smart lock with more components.
  • The number of locks being installed, and whether they are keyed alike so one key works throughout.
  • Extra work on the frame, such as reinforcing the strike area or adjusting a door that does not close squarely.
  • Whether the job is a scheduled visit or an urgent after-hours call, and the type of site, such as a gated hillside property or a commercial suite.

Why Hacienda Heights chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so the work is done at your door instead of requiring you to haul a door anywhere.
  • Operating since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar guiding the standards of the work.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a new opening or a failed slider latch needs to be secured the same night.
  • Familiarity with local building types, including 1960s and 1970s tract homes, sliding patio doors with multi-point and loop-lock hardware, and hillside custom entries.
  • Honest advice about whether a door or frame should be fixed before a new lock goes in.
  • Hardware recommendations based on how the door is used, not on selling the most expensive option.

Lock Installation across Hacienda Heights

Hacienda Heights stretches from the flats near Stimson up into the Skyline hillside tracts and The Heights, and the lock needs change with the terrain. On the flats, many 1960s and 1970s single-family homes have attached garages with interior entry doors and sliding patio doors at the back. These are common places to add a deadbolt or a secondary slider lock. In the hillside areas, custom and view homes often come with gated driveways and better entry hardware, so installation may involve coordinating gate hardware with the main door.

We serve homes and businesses throughout ZIP code 91745, whether you are near Hacienda Blvd, Azusa Ave, or just off SR-60. Along Colima Rd and Hacienda Blvd, strip-center suites and small offices often need new interior or storefront locks when spaces are reconfigured. Institutions and businesses near Hsi Lai Temple and the Colima Rd corridor sometimes need locks added or changed as staff and use of a building change.

If you live near Puente Hills, Schabarum Regional Park or Steinmetz Park, we still come to you; being fully mobile means there is no shop to drive to. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are securing, and we will plan the right installation for the building.

Lock Installation in Hacienda Heights — FAQs

Can you install a lock on a door that has never had one?
Yes. We can bore a new door for a deadbolt and latch, set the strike in the frame, and test everything. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe the door and we will plan the right hardware.
Do you install locks on sliding patio doors?
Yes. Many Hacienda Heights homes from the 1960s and 1970s have sliders with basic or failing latches. We can install or upgrade slider locks, including addressing multi-point and loop-lock hardware where appropriate.
Can you install smart or keypad deadbolts?
Yes. We install electronic and smart deadbolts, set up codes, and make sure the door is aligned so the motor or bolt operates reliably. We can also advise whether a keyed option may suit you better.
I have a gated hillside driveway. Can you handle both the gate and the front door?
We can discuss both during one conversation. Gate hardware varies, so describe what you have when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will explain what we can do on site.
Do you offer installation at night or on weekends?
We are available 24/7. If a new door or a failed slider latch leaves your property insecure overnight, call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
Do I need to bring the door or lock to you?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We bring the tools and hardware options to your home or business in Hacienda Heights.
Can you install several locks keyed alike?
Yes. We can set up multiple locks so one key operates them, which is convenient for homes with several entry points and for small businesses.
Will you tell me if my door is not suitable for a new lock?
Yes. If the door is damaged, too thin, or the frame is weak, we will explain the issue and the options before installing, so the lock actually improves your security.
