A smart lock is only as good as the door it is mounted on and the way it is set up. In Manhattan Beach that matters more than usual. Houses here range from compact beach cottages near The Strand to large custom estates on the hill and brand-new contemporary builds with heavy, precisely machined doors. A lock that works well on one of them can be a poor fit for another.

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 visit. We come to your door, look at what is actually installed, and help you pick and fit a keypad, keyless or app-connected lock that suits it. We also work on locks someone else installed that never quite worked right.

Installation is only part of it. We also handle the follow-through: adding and removing user codes, reprogramming after a change of housekeeper or contractor, making sure a mechanical backup key still exists, and troubleshooting locks that drop connection, drain batteries or stop responding. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour if you need help.

How it works in Manhattan Beach

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and your goals

    We start by learning what you want: keypad only, app control, shared codes for family or staff, or simply getting rid of keys. We ask about the door type, whether it is a standard deadbolt, a multipoint European system or a gate, and what is installed now.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and hardware

    On site we check the door thickness, prep, alignment, strike and frame. Smart locks add weight and rely on smooth latch action, so a sagging or rubbing door gets addressed first. On beachfront properties we also look for salt corrosion that could cause trouble later.

  3. 3

    Match the lock to the door

    Not every smart lock fits every door. Multipoint and narrow-stile doors, which are common in new Sand Section construction, need compatible hardware. We explain the options honestly, including tradeoffs in power, connectivity and backup access.

  4. 4

    Install and align

    We mount the lock, check that the bolt throws fully and freely, and confirm the keyway or mechanical override works. Clean alignment reduces battery drain and the motor strain that causes many smart lock failures.

  5. 5

    Program codes and connectivity

    We set up user codes, connect the lock to your app or home system if you want that, and test each function. If you are replacing an old system, we clear out old codes so previous users no longer have access.

  6. 6

    Walk you through daily use

    Before we leave, we show you how to change codes, replace batteries and use the backup key. We can also cut spare mechanical keys and key additional doors alike if you want one key for everything.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen: a basic keypad deadbolt, a connected smart lock and a high-end multipoint system differ widely in hardware cost.
  • Door condition and prep: a door that needs boring, alignment or frame work takes more labor than one that is ready for the lock.
  • Number of doors and locks, including whether side doors, garage entries and gates are being done together or keyed alike.
  • Complexity of the existing hardware, especially multipoint European-style systems or salt-corroded locks that must be removed carefully.
  • Programming and integration needs, such as many user codes, app setup or connection to a wider home system.
  • Timing of the visit, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours or urgent calls are handled differently from scheduled work.

Why Manhattan Beach chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: the work happens at your door, with no storefront and no need to bring the lock anywhere.
  • Experience since 1987, which includes mechanical locks as well as electronic ones, so we can fall back on a sound key-based backup.
  • Familiarity with multipoint and European-style door hardware common on newer Manhattan Beach homes, not just standard deadbolts.
  • Honest recommendations: if a particular smart lock does not suit your door or your Wi-Fi, we will say so rather than sell it anyway.
  • Attention to coastal wear: we look for salt and sand damage and recommend hardware that can cope with the conditions.
  • 24/7 availability, so a dead keypad or a code problem does not have to wait for business hours.

Smart Lock Installation across Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach homes vary a lot from one part of town to the next. In the Sand Section, dense walk-street cottages and newer three-story contemporary homes on small lots often use sleek multipoint doors, and entrances are sometimes reached on foot from walk streets near The Strand. Smart locks there have to work with narrow doors and sit in salty air, so hardware choice matters. If you live near the Pier or Metlox Plaza and a new lock has stopped responding, call (323) 997-8867.

In the Hill Section, large custom estates often already have keypad or smart systems that need attention rather than replacement. A common job is reprogramming codes after a change of housekeeper, cleaning out old user access and cutting a backup mechanical key. The Tree Section is changing as mid-century ranch homes are remodeled or rebuilt. Homeowners there often want salt-seized deadbolts replaced, and a keypad or smart lock added with the doors keyed alike.

We serve ZIP code 90266 and the surrounding area, including East Manhattan Beach, where townhomes and condos often call for simple keypad upgrades on entry doors. Whether you are near Polliwog Park, off Manhattan Beach Blvd or Sepulveda Blvd, or close to Manhattan Village, we come to you.

Smart Lock Installation in Manhattan Beach — FAQs

Can you install a smart lock on a multipoint European-style door?
Often yes, but these doors need compatible hardware and careful setup. We inspect the door first and explain what will and will not work. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Do I still get a physical key with a smart lock?
Most models include a mechanical override, and we can cut spare keys. We recommend keeping a backup key in case of dead batteries or connectivity trouble.
Can you reprogram my existing keypad after a housekeeper or contractor change?
Yes. We remove old codes, set new ones and test the lock. If you are not sure how your system works, call (323) 997-8867.
Will salt air damage a smart lock near the beach?
Coastal air is hard on exterior hardware. We check for corrosion and recommend hardware suited to the exposure, though regular cleaning still helps any lock last.
Can you key several doors alike during a remodel?
Yes. We can replace seized deadbolts and key doors alike so one key works throughout, and add a keypad lock on the main entry if you like.
Do you troubleshoot smart locks someone else installed?
Yes. We look at battery issues, alignment, connection problems and programming errors, and tell you whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your home anywhere in Manhattan Beach.
Can I call outside normal hours?
Yes, we are available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need help with a lock.
