Lake View Terrace is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood. Between the ranch-style homes, the large-lot horse properties, and the open recreation land around Hansen Dam, a single address can need a deadbolt on the house, a keypad lock on a long driveway gate, and a handful of padlocks on a barn, tack room and trailer. Installing a lock well means matching the hardware to the door, the weather and the way you actually use the space.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our owner and lead tech, David Shar, brings that experience to each installation. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We come to your property, look at what you have, and install the hardware on site.

New-lock work in the foothills often starts from a blank slate: a freshly built guest house, a converted workshop, a new corral gate, or a door that never had anything more than a latch. We help you choose hardware that suits the structure and holds up to dust, wind and sun, then install it cleanly so it works smoothly for years.

How it works in Lake View Terrace

  1. 1

    Tell us what needs a lock

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door, gate or outbuilding. Mention the material, whether it is a new opening, and how exposed it is to weather. We are available 24/7, so you can call whenever it suits you.

  2. 2

    On-site assessment

    We come to you and look at the door or gate: thickness, material, frame condition, existing holes and how it swings. On a large lot, we also walk the route between the house, barn and gate to see what each spot needs.

  3. 3

    Hardware recommendation

    We explain the options in plain language, such as deadbolts, keypad gate locks, shrouded padlocks and hasps, and recommend what fits your security needs and the conditions. You decide before any work begins.

  4. 4

    Drilling, fitting and installation

    For new openings we prepare the door or gate, cut the bore and edge, and mount the strike and reinforcement as needed. Wood, metal and weathered barn doors each need different handling, and we adjust accordingly.

  5. 5

    Testing and key setup

    We test the lock repeatedly, check alignment, and make sure bolts throw fully. If you want several locks on one key, we can set that up so you are not carrying a ring of keys across the property.

  6. 6

    Walkthrough and care tips

    We show you how everything operates and give simple advice on keeping hardware working in dusty, windy foothill conditions.

Lock Installation across Lake View Terrace

In the Hansen Dam district and along the Equestrian district near Hansen Dam Horse Park, properties tend to be large, with long driveways, corrals, barns and detached outbuildings. A typical job might be a new keypad lock on a driveway access gate, plus weather-resistant padlocks and hasps for a tack room and trailer. Dust and wind wear down ordinary hardware quickly, so we focus on locks built to handle that.

Homes toward the Kagel Canyon border and off Foothill Boulevard face another reality: Santa Ana winds and wildfire season. Owners often want a solid, reliable lock on a new guest house or storage building, and some want a secure back equestrian gate that can be closed quickly. We install locks with that practical mindset, and we can also help if an evacuation leaves you locked out or wanting a fresh set of locks.

We serve ZIP code 91342 and the surrounding area, from Osborne Street and Wheatland Avenue to properties near I-210 and I-5, and near spots like the Hansen Dam Recreation Area, Hansen Dam Aquatic Center, Discovery Cube Los Angeles and the Lake View Terrace Branch Library. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule an installation.

Lock Installation in Lake View Terrace — FAQs

Do you install locks on barns and tack rooms in Lake View Terrace?
Yes. We install hasps, padlocks and door locks on barns, tack rooms, trailers and outbuildings, with an emphasis on weather-resistant hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your setup.
Can you install a lock on a driveway access gate?
Yes. We can install keyed or keypad gate locks on long driveway gates and equestrian gates. We check the gate material and how it swings to choose hardware that fits.
What is the difference between a new installation and a replacement?
A new installation adds a lock where none existed, so the door or gate may need to be drilled and reinforced. A replacement swaps an existing lock into an existing opening.
Do you offer lock installation at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 any time to talk through your project.
Which locks hold up best against dust and wind?
Weather-resistant and shrouded padlocks, along with outdoor-rated gate locks, tend to handle foothill conditions better than basic hardware. We can recommend options for each location on your property.
Can several locks on my property use the same key?
In many cases, yes. We can set up matching keys across compatible locks so one key handles the house, gate and outbuildings. Ask us when you call.
Do I need to come to a shop to choose hardware?
No. We are fully mobile and there is no storefront. We come to your property, review options with you and install the hardware on site.
Can you help if I am locked out after an evacuation?
Yes. We handle lockouts and rekeying as well as new installations. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can talk through what you need.
