Monrovia is a foothill city with real architectural character, and its homes ask more of a locksmith than a typical tract house does. Around Old Town you find Craftsman bungalows and Victorians from the early 1900s through the 1930s, many still carrying their original mortise and rim hardware. Further north, hillside custom and mid-century homes climb toward the canyon above Foothill Boulevard. Each calls for a different approach, and a single standard lockset swap is rarely the best answer.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are mobile only, so there is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and hardware to your door, whether you are locked out at night, moving into a newly purchased house, or tired of a sticky deadbolt you have been fighting for years.

Our residential work covers rekeying, lock repair, replacement, deadbolt and entry hardware upgrades, and gate or side-door locks. Our aim is to fix what is actually wrong, preserve period hardware when it is worth saving, and tell you plainly when something should be replaced instead. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.

How it works in Monrovia

1
Call and describe the situation
Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us what is happening: a lockout, a house you just bought, a key that will not turn, or a door you want to secure. Mention the age and style of the home and the type of lock if you know it. That helps us bring the right parts the first time.
2
We come to you
We are fully mobile and available around the clock, so we travel to your Monrovia address with tools, key blanks and common hardware on board. Whether you are near Old Town, in Mayflower Village or up in the foothills, the work happens at your door.
3
Assess the hardware
Before touching anything, we look at the lock, the door and the strike. On older Craftsman doors that means identifying mortise or rim hardware and judging whether it can be rekeyed or repaired. On newer homes it usually means checking deadbolts, knobs and handlesets for wear or poor alignment.
4
Explain options and the price drivers
We walk you through what we recommend and why, including a rekey versus a replacement where both are realistic. You hear what affects the cost before work starts, so there are no surprises and no pressure to buy more than you need.
5
Complete the work carefully
We rekey, repair, install or upgrade with attention to the finish and fit of your door. On vintage doors we work to avoid unnecessary drilling or cosmetic damage. Every lock is tested with the door open and closed.
6
Test keys and hand over
We cut and test every key, confirm each lock operates smoothly, and show you how anything new works. If you have a side gate, garage entry door or secondary lock that should match, we can bring those onto the same key where the hardware allows.

What affects the price

Whether the job is a rekey, repair or full replacement, since rekeying existing hardware is a different scope than installing new locks.
The type and age of the hardware, such as original mortise or rim locks on an Old Town Craftsman versus a modern deadbolt or smart lock.
The number of locks involved, including front and back doors, side-yard gates, garage entry and any secondary doors you want on one key.
The grade and brand of hardware you choose when replacing or upgrading, and whether it needs to match an existing finish.
Door and frame condition, because warped, shifted or damaged doors may need adjustment before a lock will work properly.
Time of day and the nature of the call, as an after-hours emergency lockout is a different situation from a scheduled rekey.

Residential Locksmith across Monrovia

Monrovia's housing runs from the historic to the hillside. In Old Town Monrovia, streets near Myrtle Avenue, Library Park and the Aztec Hotel hold Craftsman bungalows and Victorians where original hardware is part of the home's charm. A common job here is rekeying the original mortise and rim locks after a sale, so previous owners' keys no longer work while the vintage doors and trim stay intact. Homes in ZIP code 91016 often fall into this category.

Mayflower Village has its own mix of homes and everyday residential needs, from lockouts to worn deadbolts. Up in North Monrovia, hillside custom and mid-century homes sit above Foothill Boulevard toward Monrovia Canyon Park. After purchasing one of these, a full rekey is smart, and the larger lots frequently include long driveways and side-yard gate locks that also need attention. Many of these addresses fall in ZIP code 91017.

With I-210, Huntington Drive, Foothill Boulevard and Mountain Avenue connecting the city, and the Metro A Line station drawing commuters, many residents are out of the house for long stretches, which makes working locks matter. Myrtle Avenue's shops and restaurants also need locksmith help for storefront lockouts and commercial rekeys, and we are happy to assist there too. Wherever you are in Monrovia, call (323) 997-8867.
