A smart lock is only as good as the door it is mounted on. In Inglewood that matters, because the housing stock is so varied: 1920s Spanish and Craftsman homes with original mortise locks, 1940s and 50s stucco houses, 1960s to 80s apartment complexes, and newer construction near SoFi Stadium and the Hollywood Park development. Each of these doors presents different challenges, from bore sizes and door thickness to how the strike plate is set in the frame.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen smart locks go from novelty to routine. We come to you in a fully mobile service, so there is no storefront to visit. We evaluate the door, help you choose between a keypad deadbolt, a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth lock, or a keyless lever, install it, and make sure it works the way you expect.
We also handle the part that frustrates people most: setup and troubleshooting. That includes pairing with your phone, creating and deleting user codes, adjusting the door so the bolt throws smoothly, and fixing a smart lock that someone else installed and that now jams, drains batteries or loses its connection.
How it works in Inglewood
- 1
Talk through the door and your goals
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you want: keypad entry, phone control, guest codes, or simply no more keys. We ask about the door type, the existing lock and whether you have Wi-Fi near the entry, so we arrive prepared and can recommend sensible options.
- 2
Inspect the door, frame and existing hardware
On site we check door thickness, bore holes, backset, alignment and the strike plate. A sagging door in an older Inglewood home or a warped apartment door can cause a smart lock to bind, so we correct that before anything is installed.
- 3
Install the lock and fit it properly
We remove the old hardware and mount the new lock. For doors with old mortise pockets, we discuss whether to retrofit or replace the lockset. We make sure the bolt extends fully into the frame and the latch operates smoothly.
- 4
Set up codes, app and connectivity
We pair the lock with your phone if it supports it, program user codes, and show you how to add or remove access. For rentals and apartments, we can help you set up a structure that makes turnover between tenants simpler.
- 5
Test and walk you through it
Before leaving we cycle the lock repeatedly from both sides, test the keypad and any backup key or battery option, and explain what to do when batteries run low so you are not locked out later.

What affects the price
- The type of lock you choose, since a basic keypad deadbolt differs a great deal from a Wi-Fi enabled model with app control and integrations.
- The condition of the door, including whether it needs boring, alignment work or a new strike plate to accept the lock reliably.
- Whether we are replacing a standard deadbolt or retrofitting an older mortise setup common in 1920s homes.
- The number of doors, such as a single front door versus several units in an apartment building or a commercial property.
- Whether you want us to supply the lock or install one you already purchased, and whether it is a new installation or troubleshooting an existing one.
- The time and location of the call, since we are available around the clock and after-hours service can be a factor.
Why Inglewood chooses us
- Fully mobile, 24/7 service: we come to your door in Inglewood rather than asking you to bring anything to a shop.
- Operating since 1987, so we understand both old mechanical hardware and modern electronic locks and how they interact with real doors.
- We fix the door, not just the lock. Misaligned frames and worn bores are the usual cause of smart lock problems.
- Honest recommendations: if a simple keypad deadbolt suits you better than a connected lock, we will say so.
- We troubleshoot locks installed by others, including battery, pairing and jamming issues.
- Owner involvement: David Shar leads the work, so questions go to someone with decades of hands-on experience.
Smart Lock Installation across Inglewood
Inglewood's housing varies block by block. In Morningside Park and North Inglewood, many homes date to the 1920s, with Spanish and Mediterranean or Craftsman styling and original mortise locks and skeleton-key doors. A buyer who has just closed on one of these homes often wants a modern keyed-alike or keypad deadbolt setup, and we can advise on what the old door can accept. In Fairview Heights and Arbor Village, 1940s to 50s stucco homes and later construction typically take standard deadbolt bores, which makes smart lock retrofits more straightforward.
Apartment owners and managers, particularly along Manchester Blvd and the 90301, 90302, 90303 and 90305 ZIP codes, deal with constant turnover. Keypad and smart locks can reduce the need for repeated rekeying between tenants, though they have to be matched to the door and the building's rules. Near SoFi Stadium, Intuit Dome, the Kia Forum and the Hollywood Park development, newer homes and businesses often want connected access control, and event-day demands make reliable hardware important.
Whether you are off Crenshaw Blvd, La Brea Ave, Century Blvd or Prairie Ave, or just off the I-405 or I-105, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through the right option for your door.
