A smart lock is a good upgrade for a North Hills home, but only when it is fitted properly. Many houses here were built in the 1950s and 60s, and the doors, bore holes and strike plates on those homes were not designed with modern electronic hardware in mind. A lock that looks simple on the box can turn into a crooked, sticking, battery-draining headache if the door is out of square or the deadbolt does not line up.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, under owner and lead technician David Shar. We are a mobile-only business with no storefront, so the work happens at your door. We install keypad deadbolts, keyless entry locks, and app-connected smart locks, set them up with your codes, and make sure the door locks and unlocks smoothly before we leave.

We also help with smart locks you already own. If a lock you bought online will not pair, keeps eating batteries, or no longer lines up with the door, we can troubleshoot it, adjust the hardware, or tell you honestly when a different model would suit the door better.

How it works in North Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through what you need

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us about the door: front door, side gate, garage entry, apartment unit or storefront. We ask whether you already have a lock, whether you want a keypad, an app, or both, and who needs access. That helps us bring suitable hardware.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    On arrival we check the door thickness, bore holes, latch, strike plate and how the door sits in its frame. In older North Hills tract homes, small alignment problems are common, and they cause most smart lock failures if ignored.

  3. 3

    Install the lock

    We fit the new lock, correct the strike or latch alignment as needed, and mount the keypad or interior assembly. If you supply the lock, we install it. If you prefer our recommendation, we match it to the door and how you use it.

  4. 4

    Set up codes and connectivity

    We program user codes, set up any app pairing, and walk you through adding or removing codes later. For rentals or shared households, we explain how to manage access for different people.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the lock several times from both sides, test the keypad, and confirm the door latches on its own. We leave you with the keys or override access and show you how to replace the batteries.

What affects the price

  • Whether you supply the lock or ask us to provide one, and which type and brand it is
  • The type of door: wood, metal, or an aluminum storefront door can each need different preparation
  • Whether the door needs new bore holes, strike plate work or alignment adjustments first
  • The number of locks being installed, as in a multi-unit property or a home with several entries
  • Whether we are setting up connectivity, multiple user codes or integration with other devices
  • Time of day and urgency, since we work around the clock including nights and weekends

Smart Lock Installation across North Hills

North Hills is split into North Hills West and North Hills East, and the two areas call for different approaches. North Hills West is mostly 1950s and 60s single-family tract homes, where a keypad deadbolt on the front door is a popular upgrade. These homes often have security screen doors too, and a worn screen-door latch can be replaced during the same visit so the whole entry works together.

North Hills East is denser, with many 1960s and 70s dingbat and garden-apartment buildings and more tenant turnover. Landlords and property managers there often ask about keypad locks that avoid constant rekeying, though we also handle conventional rekeys and master-key systems when that suits the building better. For ZIP code 91343, we can also look at mailbox and cluster-box locks while on site.

We serve homes and businesses from Nordhoff Street and Roscoe Boulevard to Sepulveda Boulevard and Devonshire Street, and near North Hills Community Park, the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area and the VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center. With I-405 close by, we can reach most of the neighborhood readily. For storefronts along Nordhoff, Roscoe and Sepulveda, we also work with aluminum-frame glass doors and their specialized hardware.

Smart Lock Installation in North Hills — FAQs

Can you install a smart lock on an older North Hills home?
Yes. Many homes in North Hills West date from the 1950s and 60s. We check the door and frame, correct alignment issues, and fit the lock so it operates smoothly. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your door.
Do I need to buy the smart lock first?
No. You can supply your own lock and we will install it, or we can help you choose one that suits your door and how you use it. Either way we test it before we leave.
Can you fix a smart lock I already installed that is not working?
Often, yes. Common problems include misalignment, weak batteries, pairing trouble and loose mounting. We diagnose the cause and tell you honestly whether to repair it or replace it. Call (323) 997-8867.
Are smart locks a good choice for rental units in North Hills East?
They can be, because codes can be changed without handing out new keys. But a standard rekey or master-key system may suit some buildings better. We can explain the tradeoffs for your property.
Will a smart lock work on my security screen door?
Smart locks go on the main entry door. If the security screen door lock is worn, we can replace it during the same visit so both doors work properly together.
Can you install keypad locks at a business on Nordhoff or Roscoe?
Yes, depending on the door. Aluminum-frame storefront doors need hardware designed for them, so we assess the door first and recommend what will fit and hold up.
Do you offer smart lock installation at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If a lock fails or you are locked out of a smart lock, call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
Do you have a shop I can visit in North Hills?
No. We are a mobile-only business and come to you, so there is no storefront. Call us and we will arrange service at your location.
