Lock installation sounds simple until you stand at the door. A new door may not be bored for a lock at all. An older door may have been drilled for hardware that no longer fits. A gate, shed, or garage side door may never have had a lock. In Lomita, where so many homes date from the 1940s through the 1960s, we see all of these, often on the same property.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. We come to your home, apartment building, or small business, look at the door and frame, and install the lock that suits the door and how you use it.

A good installation is more than a lock in a hole. The strike plate has to line up, the bolt has to reach into solid framing, and the keying should make sense for your household or building. We take the time to get those details right, whether you need one deadbolt or several doors matched to a single key.

How it works in Lomita

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe what you are securing: front door, back door, garage side door, gate, or an interior room. Tell us whether the door is new, whether it has been drilled before, and whether you want matching keys across locks.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician brings tools, drilling equipment, and a range of lock hardware to your Lomita address. We are available 24/7, so urgent needs after a break-in attempt or a door replacement can be handled outside normal hours.

  3. 3

    Inspect the door, frame, and existing holes

    Before anything is installed, we check door thickness, material, the condition of the frame, and any existing bores. Older post-war doors and frames sometimes need small repairs so the new lock holds properly.

  4. 4

    Install and align the hardware

    We bore or adjust the door as needed, mount the lock, and set the strike plate so the bolt throws smoothly and fully. Where it helps, we use longer screws that reach the framing behind the jamb.

  5. 5

    Key, test, and hand over

    We cycle every lock several times with the door open and closed, confirm the keys work, and walk you through operation. If you want multiple locks keyed alike, we set that up during the visit.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks and doors involved, since several doors keyed alike take more work than a single deadbolt.
  • Whether the door is already bored for a lock or needs new holes drilled, which changes the labor involved.
  • The grade and type of hardware you choose, from standard residential deadbolts to heavier-duty or smart options.
  • The condition of the door and frame, including any repair needed so the lock seats and the strike plate holds.
  • Keying choices such as keyed-alike sets or restricted keys for apartment or shared properties.
  • Time of day and urgency, since after-hours and same-day requests are handled differently than planned appointments.

Why Lomita chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so the work happens at your door and there is no storefront trip.
  • Open 24/7, which helps when a new door is hung late or a break-in leaves a door unprotected.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
  • Familiarity with older Lomita homes, where worn bores, painted-over strikes, and aging frames are common.
  • Keyed-alike planning, so house, detached garage, and side gate can work from one key.
  • We explain the options and the reasons for them before we start, so you know what you are getting.

Lock Installation across Lomita

Lomita is a small city with a lot of variety packed into it. In the Harbor Hills area and on the side streets off the Narbonne Avenue corridor, many homes are modest single-family houses from the 1940s to the 1960s. Their original hardware is often worn, and detached garages or rear doors sometimes have no real lock at all. A common job here is adding quality deadbolts and keying the house and garage to a single key.

Along Lomita Boulevard and the City Center area, smaller apartment buildings and condos from the 1960s through the 1980s are common. Property managers there often need new locks fitted on entry doors, laundry rooms, or storage areas, or want hardware added between tenants. We can plan keying so a manager is not carrying a pile of unrelated keys.

We work throughout ZIP code 90717, from Pacific Coast Highway and Western Avenue to the streets near Lomita Park and the Lomita Railroad Museum. Some customers are just downhill from the Palos Verdes Peninsula and want locks that match gated-community rules or an upgraded entry. Whatever the address, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Installation in Lomita — FAQs

Can you install a lock on a door that has never had one?
Yes. We can bore the door, install the lock and strike plate, and confirm everything aligns. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us about the door material and thickness so we can bring suitable hardware.
Do you install locks at night or on weekends in Lomita?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your Lomita address when you need a door secured, including after a break-in or a late door replacement.
Can you key my house and detached garage alike?
Yes. This is common with 1950s Lomita homes. We can install new deadbolts and set the keying so one key works on the house and garage.
I manage a small apartment building on Lomita Boulevard. Can you handle multiple doors?
Yes. We can install locks on unit doors, laundry rooms, and storage areas, and plan the keying for easier management. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss the number of doors.
What affects the cost of lock installation?
Mainly the number of locks, whether the door is already bored, the hardware type, door and frame condition, keying needs, and urgency. We explain the factors for your situation before starting.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are mobile only. A technician comes to your home or building with the tools and hardware needed.
Can you install a lock if my door frame is old or damaged?
Often yes. We inspect the frame first and can reinforce the strike area or adjust the fit so the lock works reliably. If the frame needs more than a lock-related repair, we will say so.
How do I schedule an installation?
Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us the address, the doors involved, and what you want to secure, and we will arrange a visit.
