Installing a lock where none existed is a different job from replacing one. A new door has to be measured, bored, and fitted so the latch, strike, and deadbolt line up and the door closes smoothly. In Montebello that can mean a new side door on a 1940s stucco house, a converted garage entry, a replacement slab on a Craftsman near the older core, or a suite door in a Washington Blvd commercial building.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen how much door condition matters. A lock is only as good as the door and frame it sits in. So we look at the door's thickness, the wood or metal it is made of, and the condition of the jamb before we choose hardware, rather than handing you a generic kit.

We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we travel to you at any hour, any day. Whether you are finishing a remodel, securing a new door, or adding a deadbolt where there was only a knob, we explain the options plainly and install what fits your door and your routine.

How it works in Montebello

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and your needs

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the door is, whether it is new or bare, and what it protects. Entry, side door, garage service door, or office suite each call for different hardware.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and frame on site

    We check the door's thickness, material, and any existing bore holes, along with the jamb and strike area. A solid frame matters as much as the lock itself, so we flag anything weak before installing.

  3. 3

    Choose the right hardware together

    We talk through knobs, levers, deadbolts, and combinations, and match grade and finish to how the door is used. If you have a gated driveway or a shared entry, we can discuss keying to fit.

  4. 4

    Prepare and install

    We mark, bore, and mortise or fit the latch and bolt, then set the strike plate so the bolt extends fully into the frame. The goal is a door that closes without forcing and locks without lifting or pushing.

  5. 5

    Test, key, and hand over

    We cycle every lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm the keys work smoothly, and show you how to operate everything. You leave with working keys and a door that secures properly.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic deadbolt, a handleset, a smart lock, and a commercial-grade lockset differ in hardware cost and fitting time.
  • Door material and condition: solid wood, hollow-core, metal, and aluminum storefront doors each need different boring and installation methods.
  • Whether the door is pre-drilled or needs fresh boring, which changes how much preparation the install requires.
  • Frame and strike reinforcement: a worn or thin jamb may need extra work for the lock to be genuinely secure.
  • Number of locks and whether they are keyed alike, which affects both hardware and setup time.
  • Time of day: we are available around the clock, and after-hours visits can be priced differently than scheduled daytime appointments.

Why Montebello chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring tools and hardware to your door anywhere in Montebello, with no shop visit needed.
  • Open 24/7, including nights and weekends, so a freshly cut door does not have to stay unsecured until Monday.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work and answering for it.
  • We look at the door and frame, not just the lock, since a strong deadbolt in a weak jamb protects little.
  • Experience with Montebello's mix of older 1920s-1950s homes and newer hillside construction, plus commercial storefront doors.
  • Plain explanations of your options, with no pressure to buy more than the door needs.

Lock Installation across Montebello

Montebello's housing stock shapes what a new lock install looks like. On the flats and around the older core in ZIP code 90640, many 1920s to 1950s Spanish Revival and Craftsman homes have original doors that were never meant for modern deadbolts. Adding hardware there takes care, because old wood and frames need to be bored cleanly without splitting. Post-war stucco tracts bring a different job: a new side door, converted garage entry, or a back door that only ever had a knob.

Up in Montebello Hills, newer hillside homes on the former oil-field slopes often combine a front entry with a gated driveway. Owners may need hardware for both, and we can handle gate hardware and front-entry work in a single visit. In North Montebello and the adjacent unincorporated Montebello Gardens area, we often see homeowners adding deadbolts to side and rear doors after remodels or additions.

Commercial work follows Washington Blvd, Montebello Blvd, and Beverly Blvd, where aluminum storefronts and office suites need new locks after build-outs or tenant changes. The same applies to tenant spaces near The Shops at Montebello. With I-5 and I-710 close by, we can reach most of the city from the freeway, from Grant Rea Park to the Quiet Cannon area and beyond.

Lock Installation in Montebello — FAQs

Can you install a lock on a brand-new door in Montebello?
Yes. We bore the door, fit the latch and deadbolt, and set the strike so everything lines up. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the door type so we bring suitable hardware.
Do you install locks on older Montebello homes with original doors?
Yes. Many 1920s to 1950s homes near the older core have original wood doors. We work carefully to avoid splitting the wood and will tell you if the door or frame needs attention first.
Can you add a deadbolt where there is only a knob?
Yes, that is a common job. We bore for the deadbolt, install the bolt and strike, and test it. Many side and back doors in post-war tract homes are upgraded this way.
Do you offer lock installation at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will talk through the job and arrange a visit.
Can you handle both a gate and front door at a Montebello Hills home?
Yes. Hillside homes often have a gated driveway as well as a front entry, and we can address gate hardware and entry locks in the same visit.
Do you install commercial locks for Washington Blvd storefronts or mall suites?
Yes. We install locks on aluminum storefront doors, office suites, and tenant spaces, including after build-outs or tenant changes. Call us with the door type.
How is lock installation priced?
It depends on lock type, door material, whether the door needs boring, frame condition, number of locks, and time of day. We explain the factors and the plan before starting.
Do I need to come to a shop?
