Locks don't last forever, and in Manhattan Beach they age faster than most. Salt air and blowing sand work into latches, cylinders and keyways, and a deadbolt that once turned smoothly starts to stick, grind, or refuse the key altogether. Add remodels, tear-downs, new owners and staff changes at a house, and there are plenty of good reasons to replace the hardware rather than keep nursing old locks.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile: there is no storefront to visit. We bring the work to your front door, garage entry, side gate or patio slider, whether that is a beach cottage on a walk street or a large custom home up the hill.

Lock replacement is not one-size-fits-all here. A standard deadbolt swap is a different job from servicing a multipoint European-style door, reprogramming a keypad system, or rekeying every door after a remodel so one key works throughout. We look at what you actually have, explain the options plainly, and install hardware that suits the door and how you live.

How it works in Manhattan Beach

  1. 1

    Tell us what's happening

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the problem: sticking deadbolt, corroded handle, a lock that no longer feels secure, or a remodel that needs new hardware. Any day or night, we'll help you work out what the job involves.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    At your property we check the lock, strike plate, door edge and frame. On coastal homes we look for corrosion and wear, and on newer builds we identify whether it's a standard bore or a multipoint system with a gearbox.

  3. 3

    Choose the right replacement

    We go over options such as standard deadbolts, handle sets, keypad or smart locks, and keying choices. If you want several doors keyed alike, or a backup mechanical key for an electronic lock, we plan that now.

  4. 4

    Remove the old lock and install the new one

    We take out the failing hardware, make sure the door prep is sound, and install the new lock so it aligns cleanly with the latch and strike. Seized or damaged parts are handled carefully to protect the door finish.

  5. 5

    Test, cut keys and walk you through it

    We test every lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, cut the keys you need, set up any codes, and show you how everything operates before we leave.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks being replaced, since a single deadbolt differs from a whole-house project.
  • The type of hardware: basic mechanical deadbolts, higher-security cylinders, keypad or smart locks, and multipoint European-style systems all vary in cost.
  • Door condition and prep, including whether corrosion or past damage means the door, bore or strike needs extra work.
  • Keying needs, such as keying all doors alike, adding a master arrangement, or cutting extra and backup keys.
  • Whether the job is a scheduled visit or an urgent after-hours call.
  • Any programming or setup required for electronic locks, including reprogramming codes after a change in household staff.

Why Manhattan Beach chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so the work is done at your door with no trip to a shop.
  • Experience with coastal wear: we know how salt and sand seize exterior deadbolts and how to choose hardware that holds up better.
  • Comfort with high-end door hardware, including multipoint systems where the gearbox needs servicing rather than a simple deadbolt swap.
  • Owner-led work from David Shar, backed by service in the Los Angeles area since 1987.
  • Straightforward advice: if a rekey or repair would do the job, we'll say so instead of pushing a full replacement.
  • Available 24/7, including for lockouts and security concerns that can't wait.

Lock Replacement across Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach is a small city with very different housing from one section to the next, and lock needs follow that pattern. In the Sand Section, dense walk-street cottages sit beside newer three-story contemporary homes on small lots. Those newer homes often have multipoint European-style front doors, and when one fails or locks you out, it takes a technician who can work on the gearbox. Beachfront hardware near The Strand and the pier also takes a beating from salt and sand, so corroded handles and sticky cylinders are common.

Up in the Hill Section, large custom estates often have keypad or smart-lock systems. A change of housekeeper or contractor is a typical reason to reprogram codes and have a backup mechanical key cut. In the Tree Section, mid-century ranch homes are steadily being replaced or remodeled, and a remodel is a natural time to replace seized exterior deadbolts and key every door alike. East Manhattan Beach adds townhomes and condos, where matching existing hardware and building rules can matter.

We serve addresses throughout ZIP code 90266, from homes near Metlox Plaza and Polliwog Park to those off Sepulveda Blvd, Manhattan Beach Blvd, Rosecrans Ave, Aviation Blvd and Marine Ave. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

Lock Replacement in Manhattan Beach — FAQs

Do you offer lock replacement in Manhattan Beach at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we come to your home. Call (323) 997-8867 any time to discuss your situation.
Why do my beach-area deadbolts stick or seize?
Salt air and sand get into cylinders and latches and cause corrosion and wear. Cleaning can sometimes help, but a seized or corroded lock is often best replaced with hardware suited to the environment.
Can you work on multipoint European-style door locks?
Yes, we can service multipoint systems, including the gearbox, which are common on newer luxury homes in the Sand Section. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door so we can plan the visit.
Can you reprogram my keypad or smart lock and cut a backup key?
Yes. After a change in housekeepers or staff, we can reprogram codes on existing systems and cut a mechanical backup key. Reach us at (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Should I replace or rekey my locks?
If the hardware is in good condition, rekeying may be enough. If locks are worn, corroded, damaged or outdated, replacement makes more sense. We'll tell you honestly which fits.
Can all my doors be keyed alike after a remodel?
Yes. We can install new locks and key them so a single key works across your exterior doors, which many Tree Section remodel owners prefer.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only and has no storefront. We do the work at your property.
How is the price of lock replacement determined?
It depends on how many locks, the hardware type, door condition, keying needs and timing. Describe the job and we'll explain what affects it.
