Homes in Hidden Hills are not typical suburban houses. Most sit on lots of an acre or more, many have a main house plus a guest house, a barn, a tack room and several gates, and the whole city sits behind manned entry gates. A residential locksmith here has to think about far more than one front door. It is really about securing a whole property and every point of access on it.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit. Our technicians travel to you, which suits a community where the problem might be a failed keypad at the front entry, a rusted padlock at the stables, or a driveway gate that no longer latches.

Whether you live in an original 1950s or 60s ranch home or a newer custom build, we handle rekeys, replacements, repairs and upgrades. We explain the options plainly, tell you what actually needs doing, and leave you with locks that work and keys you can account for.

How it works in Hidden Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Reach us at (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us what is happening, such as a locked-out door, a dead smart lock, a worn barn padlock or a staff change that calls for new keys. We ask about the lock types involved so the right tools and hardware come with us.

  2. 2

    Coordinate gate access

    Hidden Hills is guard-gated at the Long Valley Road and Spring Valley Road entries. We work with you and the manned gate so we are expected and can reach your property without delay at the entrance.

  3. 3

    Verify and assess on site

    We confirm you live at or are authorized for the property, then inspect the locks, doors, frames and gate hardware. If a smart or biometric lock has failed, we look at the mechanical override and whether the electronics or the lock itself is at fault.

  4. 4

    Open, repair, rekey or replace

    We get you inside with the least damage possible, then do the work that makes sense: rekeying cylinders, swapping worn hardware, fitting heavy-duty weather-resistant padlocks for barns and paddocks, or installing new deadbolts and handlesets.

  5. 5

    Key everything the way you want

    We can key the main house, guest house, and gates alike so one key set covers them, or keep certain areas separate. After staff changes, this means old keys stop working.

  6. 6

    Test and walk through

    Before we leave, every lock is tested several times. We show you how the new hardware works, hand over keys, and note any other weak points worth addressing later.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: a rekey of existing cylinders differs from replacing full hardware sets or installing new deadbolts.
  • How many locks are involved. A large estate with a main house, guest house, barn, tack room and several gates has far more cylinders than a single-door job.
  • Lock grade and finish, including high-security cylinders, smart locks and weather-resistant or heavy-duty padlocks for equestrian use.
  • Condition of existing hardware, since corroded, seized or damaged locks and gate latches can take more effort to remove or repair.
  • Whether electronics are involved, such as a smart or biometric lock needing a mechanical override, rekey or compatibility check.
  • Time of day and urgency, because after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled upgrade work.

Why Hidden Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a midnight lockout in Long Valley is handled the same as a daytime appointment.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work rather than handing it off.
  • Comfortable with estate-scale jobs: multiple buildings, keyed-alike systems, driveway gates and access control hardware.
  • Equestrian-aware hardware choices, including heavy-duty padlocks and gate hardware that stand up to dust, moisture and daily use around barns and paddocks.
  • Experience with mechanical overrides on smart and biometric locks, so a failed battery or board does not leave you stuck outside.
  • No storefront and no pressure: we come to you, explain what the job needs, and do only that.

Residential Locksmith across Hidden Hills

Hidden Hills is a small, private city in Los Angeles County next to Calabasas, with US-101 along its edge and everyday life centered on Long Valley Road, Spring Valley Road and Round Meadow Road. Our residential work here covers ZIP code 91302, from the Long Valley Road area and the Spring Valley Road area to the Round Meadow area near Round Meadow Elementary School.

The manned entry gates shape how a service call works. Because access is controlled, we coordinate arrival with you and the gate so there are no surprises, which matters for a lockout when you may be standing outside your own home. The private equestrian trail network also tells you a lot about the properties: barns, stables, tack rooms and paddock gates are common, and each needs hardware that can handle outdoor conditions.

The housing mix is just as varied. Original ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s often have aging locks and mismatched keys that are ideal candidates for a full rekey, while newer custom homes tend to have smart locks, safes, driveway gates and access control. Wherever your property falls on that range, we can bring the locks and the keying plan into line.

Residential Locksmith in Hidden Hills — FAQs

Do you offer residential locksmith service in Hidden Hills at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour for a lockout, a broken lock or an urgent rekey.
How do you get through the manned gates?
We coordinate with you when you call so the gate expects us. Usually you or the gate staff confirm our visit at the Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road entry, and we then come straight to your property.
My smart lock stopped working and I'm locked out. Can you help?
Yes. We can use the mechanical override on most smart and biometric locks to get you in, then determine whether it is a battery, electronics or lock problem. We can repair, rekey or replace as needed. Call (323) 997-8867 to start.
Can you rekey the main house, guest house and gates so one key works for all?
Yes. Keying everything alike is a common request on estates, especially after household staff changes. We can also keep some areas on separate keys if you want different access levels.
What kind of locks do you use for barns, tack rooms and paddock gates?
We recommend heavy-duty, weather-resistant padlocks and sturdy gate hardware suited to dust, moisture and constant use. We can replace corroded padlocks and fit a tack-room lock and paddock gate lock on the same visit.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
If the hardware is in good shape, rekeying is often enough because it makes old keys useless without replacing the lock. If locks are worn, damaged or outdated, replacement makes more sense. We will tell you which applies.
Do I need to rekey after staff turnover?
It is a smart move. Anyone who had a key may still have a copy, so rekeying the house, guest house and gates ends that access. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule it.
Is there a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only, so we come to your home in Hidden Hills rather than operating a storefront.
