A lock that sticks, spins loose, or refuses to throw its bolt is rarely a problem that fixes itself. In Hidden Hills, where homes sit on large lots behind manned gates, a failing lock can mean a long walk back to the house, a guest house nobody can secure, or a paddock gate that will not latch while horses are out. Repairing the lock is often the smarter choice over replacing it, and that is where we start.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. Everything happens at your property, with the tools and parts needed to diagnose a problem and usually correct it in one visit.

The housing here is a real mix. Original 1950s and 60s ranch homes often have decades-old deadbolts and latches that have worn or shifted as the wood settled. Newer custom homes bring smart locks, access control and driveway gates, which add their own failure points. Horse properties add dust, moisture and corrosion on barn and tack-room hardware. We repair all of it, and we will tell you plainly when a repair no longer makes sense.

How it works in Hidden Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the problem

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us which lock is affected, what it is doing (sticking, spinning, not latching, key hard to turn) and whether you are locked out. We will also ask for gate or entry instructions so we can be expected at the Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road gate.

  2. 2

    Coordinated arrival through the gate

    Because Hidden Hills is guard-gated, we work with you or your household manager to be cleared at the entrance. We are mobile and available around the clock, and we come ready to work at the door, barn or gate that needs attention.

  3. 3

    Diagnose the cause

    Most lock trouble has a simple root cause: a door that has shifted so the bolt no longer lines up with the strike, a worn cylinder, a dirty or corroded mechanism, a loose mounting, or a broken internal part. We test the lock, the door and the strike together, because the lock is not always the culprit.

  4. 4

    Repair, adjust or replace the part

    Where we can, we realign strikes, tighten and re-seat hardware, clean and service mechanisms, and replace worn internal parts. If a lock is too worn or corroded to trust, we explain why and offer a replacement option before doing anything.

  5. 5

    Test and hand back

    We cycle the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm every key works smoothly, and check that the bolt fully engages. If you want keys matched or the lock rekeyed while we are there, we can do that in the same visit.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock involved, such as a standard deadbolt, a mortise lock, a heavy-duty padlock, or a smart or biometric lock with electronic parts
  • Whether the fix is an adjustment or alignment versus replacing worn internal parts or the whole lock
  • How many locks need attention on the property, including guest house, barn, tack room and gates
  • The condition and age of the hardware, since corroded or older locks can need more work or replacement parts
  • Whether the visit is urgent or outside normal hours, and whether you are locked out at the time
  • Any added services requested at the same visit, such as rekeying to a single key across multiple buildings

Why Hidden Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a stuck lock at night does not have to wait until morning
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work
  • Comfortable with estate and equestrian hardware, from deadbolts on main houses to padlocks and gate latches on barns and paddocks
  • We diagnose the door and strike as well as the lock, so you are not paying to replace a lock that only needed alignment
  • Honest about repair versus replacement, and we explain the reason before any work begins
  • Able to handle mechanical overrides when a smart or biometric lock fails, and rekey afterward if you wish

Lock Repair across Hidden Hills

Hidden Hills is a small, guard-gated city, and nearly every call starts at the manned Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road entrance. We plan around that, working with you to arrange entry, then head to your property in 91302, whether you are in the Long Valley Road area, the Spring Valley Road area or around Round Meadow.

The properties here shape the work. Around the private equestrian trail network, many lots have barns, stables and tack rooms where padlocks and latches take a beating from dust, moisture and daily use. We repair or replace corroded barn padlocks, tack-room locks and paddock gate hardware so animals and equipment stay secure. On the main houses, we see everything from original ranch-style deadbolts that have loosened over the years to custom builds with smart locks and access control.

We also see lock repairs tied to changes in a household. When staff turn over, a repair visit often becomes a conversation about rekeying the main house, guest house and gates so they all work on one key. Close to Round Meadow Elementary School, US-101 and the Calabasas border, we are never far from where you need us, and the number to call is (323) 997-8867.

Lock Repair in Hidden Hills — FAQs

Do you repair locks at Hidden Hills homes day and night?
Yes. We are a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. We will coordinate entry through the gate and come to your property.
How do you get past the manned gates?
We coordinate with you or your household manager so we are expected at the Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road entrance. Share the property address and any gate instructions when you call.
Should I repair or replace a sticking deadbolt?
Often a repair is enough. Sticking is commonly caused by a misaligned strike, a door that has shifted, or a dirty mechanism. If the lock is worn out or corroded, we will explain and offer a replacement.
Can you fix a smart lock that has stopped working?
We can help diagnose electronic failures and use a mechanical override if needed to get you in. Depending on the lock, we may repair it, replace parts or suggest a swap. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what it is doing.
Do you handle barn, tack-room and paddock gate locks?
Yes. Equestrian properties are common here, and we repair or replace corroded padlocks, tack-room locks and gate latches with heavy-duty hardware suited to outdoor use.
Can you rekey all my buildings to one key while you are there?
Yes. We can rekey the main house, guest house and gates so one key works across them, which is a common request after household staff changes.
What affects the cost of a lock repair?
The type of lock, whether it needs an adjustment or new parts, how many locks are involved, the age and condition of the hardware, and the time of the call. We explain options before work begins.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We bring the tools and parts to your property. To get started, call (323) 997-8867.
