Hidden Hills is not a typical commercial market. There are no strip malls or office towers here. What the city has instead is large, guard-gated estates, working equestrian properties, barns, stables, guest houses and private gates, and many of them operate in a way that looks a lot like a small business. Staff come and go, vendors need access, and a lot of valuable equipment sits behind locks that take real weather and real wear. Commercial-grade locksmith work fits these properties well.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being fully mobile. We have no storefront for you to visit. We bring the tools, hardware and know-how to your gate, barn or main house, at any hour, and we work on site.

Whether you manage an estate with household staff, run a boarding or training operation, or own a property with a smart-lock system that has stopped cooperating, we aim to explain your options plainly. We will tell you what can be repaired, what should be replaced, and what is simply a sensible upgrade, so you can decide with clear information.

How it works in Hidden Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us what you are dealing with, such as a failed smart lock, corroded barn padlocks or a staff change that calls for rekeying. We will also ask about the gate you enter through so we can plan access.

  2. 2

    Coordinate entry through the gate

    Hidden Hills is guard-gated at the Long Valley Road and Spring Valley Road entries. We work with you or your property contact so we are expected at the manned gate and can reach the property without delays caused by confusion.

  3. 3

    Assess the hardware on site

    Our technician looks at the locks, gates, padlocks and any electronic components. Estate hardware varies widely, from original 1950s and 60s ranch-home locks to newer custom smart systems, so we check what is actually installed before recommending anything.

  4. 4

    Give you the options before work starts

    We explain whether repair, rekey or replacement makes the most sense. For example, a failed biometric lock may call for a mechanical override and rekey now, with a longer-term fix discussed afterward.

  5. 5

    Complete the work and test everything

    We carry out the work, whether it is rekeying the main house, guest house and gates alike, installing heavy-duty padlocks, or replacing a paddock gate lock. Then we test each lock and key and make sure it operates smoothly.

  6. 6

    Hand over keys and next steps

    You receive working keys and a clear account of what was done. If key control matters, such as after staff turnover, we talk through how to track who holds which keys going forward.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: rekeying existing locks generally differs from replacing hardware or installing new access control.
  • The number of locks, doors, gates and padlocks involved, especially when a main house, guest house, barn and gates are all to be keyed alike.
  • Hardware grade and finish, since heavy-duty weather-resistant padlocks and gate hardware for horse properties differ from standard residential parts.
  • Electronic components, such as smart locks, biometric readers, driveway gate controls and safes, which can require added diagnosis or programming.
  • Time of day and urgency, because after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled visits.
  • Condition of existing hardware, since corroded, seized or damaged locks may take extra effort to service or remove.

Why Hidden Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your estate or barn and work on site, with no storefront detour.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a lock fails late at night or a staff change needs immediate attention.
  • Familiarity with guard-gated communities and how to coordinate entry at a manned gate.
  • Comfort with both traditional mechanical hardware and smart or biometric systems, including mechanical overrides when electronics fail.
  • Practical advice for equestrian properties, including durable padlocks, tack-room locks and paddock gate hardware built to handle the outdoors.

Commercial Locksmith across Hidden Hills

Hidden Hills sits in ZIP code 91302, tucked beside Calabasas and just off the US-101 Ventura Freeway. Most of our work here centers on residential estates that function as small operations. In the Long Valley Road area and the Spring Valley Road area, large lots often include a main house, a guest house, driveway gates and safes, all of which may need coordinated keying. We know that entry usually runs through the manned Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road gates, so we plan arrival with that in mind.

The Round Meadow area, near Round Meadow Elementary School and along Round Meadow Road, has the same mix of original ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s and newer custom builds. Older homes may have aging hardware that deserves a fresh look, while newer ones lean on smart locks and access control that occasionally fail at the worst moment. When that happens, a mechanical override and rekey can get you back inside securely.

The private equestrian trail network is central to life here, and many properties have barns, stables and tack rooms. Moisture, dust and constant use take a toll on padlocks and gate latches. We replace corroded barn padlocks, tack-room locks and paddock gate locks with hardware suited to those conditions. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will help wherever you are in town.

Commercial Locksmith in Hidden Hills — FAQs

Do you offer commercial locksmith service in Hidden Hills at night?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is a 24/7 mobile locksmith. Call (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night and we will talk through your situation and plan the visit.
How do you get into a guard-gated community?
We coordinate with you or your property contact so the manned gate at Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road expects us. Please give the gate your authorization when you call us so entry goes smoothly.
My smart or biometric lock failed. Can you get me in?
Often yes. We can use a mechanical override to get you inside, then discuss rekeying or replacing the failed unit. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the lock so we can prepare.
Can you rekey the main house, guest house and gates all alike?
Yes. After household-staff turnover, many owners choose to rekey everything so one set of keys works across the main house, guest house and gates, while old keys stop working.
What kind of locks work best for barns and paddocks?
Heavy-duty, weather-resistant padlocks and gate hardware generally hold up best around moisture, dust and animals. We inspect what you have and recommend options suited to your barn, tack room or paddock gate.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile only and have no storefront. We bring tools and hardware to your property and complete the work on site.
Can you work on safes and driveway gate hardware?
We can assist with safes and many types of gate hardware and access control. Call (323) 997-8867 with the make and issue so we can tell you what to expect.
How is the cost determined?
It depends on the type of work, the number of locks, hardware grade, any electronic components and the time of day. We explain the options before work begins so there are no surprises.
