Lock installation in Hidden Hills is rarely a one-door job. Most properties here sit on large lots with a main residence, often a guest house, sometimes a pool house, a barn, a stable and a tack room, plus driveway and paddock gates. Each of those openings has a different security need, and a single hardware choice rarely fits them all. We install new locks where none existed before and on brand-new doors, and we help you choose hardware that suits each location.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar keeps the work practical and honest. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We bring tools and a range of hardware to your property, whether it is an original 1950s or 60s ranch home that never had modern deadbolts or a newer custom build with a smart lock in the plan.

The work is more than drilling a hole. A properly installed lock means correct door prep, a strike plate set into solid framing, screws long enough to reach the stud, and a lockset that matches the door's thickness and use. On horse properties it also means hardware that holds up to dust, moisture, ammonia from stalls and daily handling. We plan each installation around how your property is actually used.

How it works in Hidden Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through the property and the doors

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what needs a lock: a new custom door, a guest house, a tack room, a paddock gate. We ask about door material, thickness, and whether you want keyed, keypad or smart operation, and we mention anything we need to arrange with the gate.

  2. 2

    Coordinate gated entry

    Hidden Hills is guard-gated, with manned entries on Long Valley Road and Spring Valley Road. We work with you to make sure our arrival is cleared with the gate so the visit goes smoothly.

  3. 3

    Assess the door, frame and hardware options

    On site we inspect the door, frame and surrounding area. Solid wood, steel, glass-panel and barn doors all behave differently, and the frame often decides what is worth installing. We recommend hardware and explain the tradeoffs plainly.

  4. 4

    Prepare the door and install

    We bore and prepare the door to the correct specifications, mount the lockset and deadbolt, and set the strike with reinforced screws where appropriate. For gates and outbuildings, we choose weather-resistant or heavy-duty hardware.

  5. 5

    Key, test and walk through

    We test every lock repeatedly, check the alignment, and confirm that keys work. If you want several locks keyed alike, such as main house, guest house and gates, we set that up. We then walk you through operation and any smart lock settings.

What affects the price

  • The number of doors, gates and outbuildings being fitted in one visit, since multiple openings on a large property add up.
  • Door material and condition, because solid wood, steel and glass doors need different preparation, and new boring is more involved than a simple swap.
  • Grade and type of hardware chosen, from standard deadbolts to high-security cylinders, keypad locks and smart locks.
  • Heavy-duty or weather-rated hardware for barns, tack rooms and paddock gates that face dust, moisture and constant use.
  • Whether locks should be keyed alike across the house, guest house and gates, which adds key-coding work.
  • Frame repair or reinforcement needed so the new lock actually secures the opening, plus the time of day you need service.

Why Hidden Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service that comes to the property, so you never need to bring doors or hardware anywhere.
  • Serving the Los Angeles area since 1987, with owner David Shar's experience behind the work.
  • Comfortable with estate-scale jobs: multiple buildings, keyed-alike systems and gate hardware in a single visit.
  • Honest recommendations on hardware, including telling you when a simpler lock is the better choice than a smart one.
  • Familiarity with horse properties, where corroded padlocks, tack-room security and paddock gates need tougher hardware.
  • Available 24/7, so urgent installs, such as securing a door after a break-in attempt, don't have to wait.

Lock Installation across Hidden Hills

Hidden Hills is a small, guard-gated city in ZIP code 91302, bordered by Calabasas and set just off the US-101 (Ventura Freeway). The housing is distinctive: large estates on roughly one-acre-plus lots, original 1950s and 60s ranch homes alongside newer custom builds, and many equestrian properties with barns, stables and guest houses. That mix shapes lock installation work here more than almost anywhere nearby.

In the Long Valley Road area and the Spring Valley Road area, we often see custom homes and remodels where new doors need quality deadbolts, smart lock integration or keypad entry, and older ranch homes where the original hardware is basic and a security upgrade makes sense. Around Round Meadow, near Round Meadow Elementary School and the private equestrian trail network, the work often turns to barns, tack rooms and paddock gates, where heavy-duty padlocks and gate hardware hold up better than ordinary residential locks.

Because entry is through the manned Long Valley Road and Spring Valley Road gates, we coordinate arrival with you in advance. Calling (323) 997-8867 lets us plan the visit, confirm what hardware to bring, and install without back-and-forth once we are on your property.

Lock Installation in Hidden Hills — FAQs

Can you install locks on a guest house, barn and main house in one visit?
Yes. Many Hidden Hills properties have several buildings, and we can handle them together. Call (323) 997-8867 with a list of the doors and gates, and we will plan the hardware. We can also key them alike if you want one key.
Do you install smart locks in Hidden Hills?
Yes, we install keypad and smart locks and set them up with you. We also recommend a mechanical key override, because electronics can fail and you should always have a way in.
What lock is best for a tack room or barn door?
Dust, moisture and ammonia are hard on hardware, so weather-resistant or heavy-duty locks usually last longer than standard ones. We look at the door and how often it is used before recommending anything.
Can you install a lock on a paddock or driveway gate?
Yes. We can fit gate-appropriate hardware, including heavy-duty padlocks and latches. The right choice depends on the gate material, how it swings and how much traffic it sees.
How do you get through the Hidden Hills gates?
The city has manned entries on Long Valley Road and Spring Valley Road. We coordinate with you so our arrival is cleared in advance. If you are unsure of the process, call (323) 997-8867 and we will walk through it.
Do you install locks on brand-new doors?
Yes. New custom doors are common here. We prepare the door and frame, install the lockset and deadbolt, and test everything. If the door arrives pre-bored, we match the hardware to it.
Can I get all my locks keyed alike?
Yes. After staff changes, many owners want the main house, guest house and gates on one key. We can install new locks keyed alike or rekey existing ones.
Are you available outside normal hours?
We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If a door needs to be secured urgently, call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
