A deadbolt is only as strong as the door, the strike and the screws holding it in place. In Manhattan Beach, where homes range from small beach cottages to custom hillside estates, a good installation means matching the hardware to the door, the salt air and the way your household actually lives. That is the part we pay attention to.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are 24/7 and fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We bring the work to your front door, side gate entry, garage service door or patio slider, and we do the installation on site.

Whether you are adding a first deadbolt to a door that has only a knob lock, replacing one that has seized from coastal corrosion, or rekeying an entire house after a remodel, we explain the options plainly and install what suits the door, not simply what is easiest to carry.

How it works in Manhattan Beach

  1. 1

    Talk through the doors

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us which doors need attention, what the current lock is, and whether you want single-cylinder (thumb turn inside) or double-cylinder (key on both sides). We will also ask about door material and any glass nearby, since that affects which type is sensible.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and frame

    On site, we look at door thickness, the existing bore holes, the edge, the strike plate and the jamb. A strong deadbolt in a weak frame is a weak lock, so we check for splitting, loose hinges and worn wood before recommending hardware.

  3. 3

    Choose the hardware

    We go over deadbolt grades, finishes and keying. For beachfront and Sand Section homes, we discuss corrosion-resistant finishes. If you want several doors on one key, or a keyed-alike setup after a remodel, we plan that now.

  4. 4

    Install and reinforce

    We fit the deadbolt, adjust the bore if needed, and set the strike with long screws that reach the framing behind the jamb. Where the wood is tired, we reinforce it so the bolt actually has something solid to bite into.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We cycle the bolt repeatedly with the door open and closed, check alignment, and confirm the keys work smoothly. You get all the keys and a quick explanation of how to care for the lock in salty air.

What affects the price

  • Single-cylinder versus double-cylinder hardware, and the grade and brand you select.
  • Whether the door is already bored for a deadbolt or needs new holes drilled in wood, metal or fiberglass.
  • The condition of the strike and door frame, including any reinforcement needed.
  • How many doors are being done and whether they are keyed alike or rekeyed to existing locks.
  • Finish choice, including corrosion-resistant options for homes close to the ocean.
  • Time of day and the distance of the visit, since we are available 24/7 and travel to you.

  • Experience since 1987, led by owner David Shar, across a wide range of residential doors.

Deadbolt Installation across Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach housing varies block to block, and so do deadbolt needs. In the Sand Section, walk-street cottages and tall contemporary homes on small lots sit steps from The Strand and the Manhattan Beach Pier, and salt air is hard on exterior hardware. Side-gate and garage entries along the walk streets often get as much use as the front door, so they deserve real deadbolts too. Many of the newest homes use multipoint European-style hardware; we can talk through whether a standard deadbolt suits a given door or whether the system calls for different service.

In the Tree Section, mid-century ranch homes are being remodeled or replaced, and a common request is swapping seized exterior deadbolts and keying every door alike so one key covers the whole house. Hill Section estates tend to have large custom doors, where we focus on fit, finish and a mechanical backup alongside any keypad or smart lock. East Manhattan Beach townhomes and condos near Manhattan Village usually need a clean, quick upgrade to the entry door.

We work throughout ZIP code 90266, from near Metlox Plaza and Polliwog Park to homes off Sepulveda Blvd, Manhattan Beach Blvd, Rosecrans Ave, Aviation Blvd and Marine Ave. Call (323) 997-8867 any time to schedule an installation.

Deadbolt Installation in Manhattan Beach — FAQs

Do you install deadbolts at night or on weekends in Manhattan Beach?
Yes. We are 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through your situation and schedule the work.
Should I choose a single- or double-cylinder deadbolt?
Single-cylinder has a thumb turn inside and is easier to exit in an emergency. Double-cylinder needs a key on both sides, which can make sense near glass but is a safety tradeoff. We will review your door and help you decide.
Will a deadbolt hold up to salt air near the beach?
Coastal air corrodes ordinary hardware over time. We can discuss finishes better suited to homes close to the ocean, and simple upkeep like occasional cleaning helps any lock last longer.
Can you key all my doors alike after a remodel?
Yes. We can install new deadbolts keyed alike or rekey existing ones so a single key works across your exterior doors. Call (323) 997-8867 to plan it.
Can you add a deadbolt to a door that only has a knob lock?
Usually, yes. We check door thickness and condition, bore the needed holes and install the deadbolt with a properly secured strike.
Do you work on multipoint European-style door systems?
Those systems are different from a standard deadbolt. Describe your door when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will tell you honestly what we can do for it.
Can you install a deadbolt on a walk-street gate or garage side door?
Yes, we can fit deadbolts to suitable gates and service doors, choosing hardware that suits the material and exposure.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We have no storefront. Everything is done at your home, and we bring the hardware and tools to the door.
