Lock replacement sounds simple, but on a Ladera Heights home it rarely is. Many houses here were built in the 1950s and 60s as mid-century and ranch-style single-family homes on generous lots. That means a front entry, often a side door, a rear slider or patio door, a garage service door, and sometimes a gate. Each of those may have hardware that has aged through decades of use, or a mix of mismatched brands added over the years. Replacing locks well means looking at the whole property, not just the front door.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. We bring hardware and tools to your driveway, assess what you have, and install new locks on site. People call us after buying a home, after a break-in or attempted break-in, after losing keys, or simply because a lock has started to stick, grind or fail.

A replacement is different from a rekey. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while keeping the same lock body. Replacement removes the lock and installs new hardware, which makes sense when the lock is worn, damaged, low quality, or when you want a better security grade, a different finish, or a keypad or smart lock. We will tell you honestly which one fits your situation, even when the simpler option means a smaller job.

How it works in Ladera Heights

1
Call and describe your doors
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us how many doors are involved, what the locks do now, and why you want them replaced. Whether it is a worn front deadbolt, a damaged rear door after an incident, or a whole-house update, this helps us bring suitable hardware.
2
On-site assessment
We come to your home and look at each door: the lock, strike plate, door thickness, frame condition and how the door closes. On older ranch homes we often find loose strikes, short screws or worn bores that affect security as much as the lock itself.
3
Choose the hardware
We walk you through options such as standard deadbolts, higher-security cylinders, handlesets, keypad locks and smart locks. We explain trade-offs in durability, convenience and finish so you can match the hardware to the house, not just to a price.
4
Remove and install
We remove the old hardware and fit the new lock, reinforcing the strike or adjusting the door prep when needed. We aim for clean results that match your existing finishes, including side, rear and garage service doors.
5
Key setup and testing
We key the new locks as you prefer, including keyed-alike so one key works on several doors. We test each lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, and confirm any keypad codes or smart-lock settings work.
6
Walkthrough and handoff
Before we finish, we show you how everything operates, hand over all keys and any codes or documentation, and answer questions. If we noticed other weak points, we point them out without pressure.

What affects the price

The number of locks and doors involved, since a single front deadbolt is a different job than a whole-house change including side, rear and garage doors.
The type and grade of hardware you choose, from standard deadbolts to higher-security cylinders, handlesets, keypad locks or smart locks.
Door and frame condition, because worn bores, damaged strikes or frames needing reinforcement add work beyond the lock itself.
Whether you want keyed-alike or special key configurations across multiple doors.
Hillside or gated properties with additional gates or specialty entries that need their own hardware.
The time of day you call, since we are available around the clock and after-hours service can differ from daytime appointments.

Lock Replacement across Ladera Heights

Ladera Heights sits just above the Baldwin Hills and next to the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, with La Tijera Boulevard, La Cienega Boulevard, Slauson Avenue, Centinela Avenue and La Brea Avenue framing the neighborhood. We work throughout the community, including ZIP codes 90056 and 90045. It is a long-established, affluent neighborhood with many homeowners who have lived in their houses for decades and want hardware that matches the care they put into the property.

In Upper Ladera Heights, we often see 1960s mid-century ranch homes with view lots, sloped driveways and several exterior doors. A typical job here might follow a property sale: the new owner wants every entry, including side and rear service doors, secured with fresh hardware. Other hillside homeowners ask about upgrading to high-security deadbolts or a keypad or smart-lock system that suits a larger lot and a more private setting.

In Lower Ladera Heights, closer to the Ladera Center shopping area at La Tijera and Centinela, the calls are often more immediate: a lock that has failed, a key that broke, or a resident locked out and needing non-destructive entry before we talk about replacement. We also serve homes near West Los Angeles College and Holy Cross Cemetery, and newer gated enclaves with their own entry hardware. Wherever you are, we come to you.
