A high security lock is not simply a more expensive deadbolt. It is a lock built to resist the specific ways doors actually get defeated: picking, bumping, drilling, snapping and forced key copying. In Pacoima, where small mid-century homes sit a few blocks from warehouses, auto-repair shops and recycling yards, the need for stronger hardware shows up on both the residential and commercial side.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. We are a fully mobile locksmith, which means there is no storefront to visit. We bring the hardware and tools to your property in Pacoima, look at the door, frame and surrounding security, and install what makes sense rather than selling the most elaborate option.

Many of the properties we see here already have layers: security bars, screen doors, fenced gates and older cylinders that have been rekeyed or copied many times. High security hardware works best when it is matched to that whole setup, so we start by looking at how the door is built and how it is used, then choose locks, strike plates and keys to fit.

How it works in Pacoima

  1. 1

    Talk through the problem

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are protecting: a front door behind security bars, a shop man-door, a roll-up gate or a yard padlock. We ask about past break-ins, lost keys and who currently holds copies so we can recommend the right level of protection.

  2. 2

    Assess the door, frame and surroundings

    On site we check the door material, the frame, the strike and how the lock sits within any bars, gates or screen doors. A strong cylinder in a weak frame is only half a solution, and older wood-frame doors in particular often need reinforcement.

  3. 3

    Choose the lock and key system

    We explain options such as pick-, bump- and drill-resistant cylinders, restricted keyways that block unauthorized duplication, graded deadbolts, and hardened or boron-shackle padlocks for gates. You decide how many keys and what level of control you need.

  4. 4

    Install and reinforce

    We fit the new hardware, adjust the latch and strike for smooth operation, and add reinforcement where the door or frame calls for it. For commercial doors this can include rekeying a roll-up gate and man-door onto one controlled system.

  5. 5

    Test, hand over keys and explain duplication

    We test every lock repeatedly, hand over the keys and explain how key duplication is controlled with your system. For businesses, we can note who received keys, which helps after employee turnover.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a single high security deadbolt differs from a full set of cylinders across a shop, warehouse and gate.
  • The key system, including restricted keyways, how many keys you need and whether several locks are keyed alike.
  • Door and frame condition, since older wood-frame or stucco-era doors may need strike, plate or frame reinforcement.
  • Commercial hardware such as hardened padlocks, roll-up gate locks and man-door hardware, which vary in grade and size.
  • Whether the work is combined with rekeying, lockout help or repair of existing hardware at the same visit.
  • Time and location of the call, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours service can differ from scheduled daytime work.

Why Pacoima chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your door in Pacoima and do the work on site, with no storefront trip required.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar leading the work, so you deal with experienced people instead of a rotating dispatch.
  • We fit hardware around existing security bars, gates and screen doors instead of assuming a clean, modern door.
  • We handle both residential and commercial needs, from graded deadbolts on small homes to hardened padlocks and roll-up gate locks for shops and yards.
  • We explain what a lock does and does not protect against, and we recommend frame reinforcement when it matters more than the lock.
  • Available 24/7, including after a break-in or when a lock needs to be changed immediately.

High Security Locks across Pacoima

Pacoima's housing and business mix shapes how we approach high security work. Many homes near Ritchie Valens Recreation Center & Park and in Hansen Hills are modest 1940s and 1950s wood-frame or stucco houses, often with security bars and screen doors already in place. There, we typically pair a graded high security deadbolt with a reinforced strike so the new lock is not undermined by an old frame. Homes in the 91331 ZIP code often fit this description.

Along the Pacoima industrial corridor and San Fernando Road, the priorities change. Auto-repair shops, warehouses and recycling yards rely on roll-up doors, padlocked gates and steel man-doors. After employee turnover or a theft, the usual request is to rekey the gate and man-door and add hardened boron padlocks. Properties in 91331 and 91334 near Whiteman Airport or the I-5 corridor often have this kind of layout, and we can set up restricted keys so copies are harder to make.

We also work around the Van Nuys Boulevard 'Mural Mile' retail strip, near San Fernando Gardens, and across 91333, helping small storefronts and residents upgrade locks. Whether you are off Glenoaks Boulevard, Laurel Canyon Boulevard or near Hubert H. Humphrey Memorial Park, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

High Security Locks in Pacoima — FAQs

What makes a lock high security?
High security locks are designed to resist picking, bumping and drilling, and often use restricted keys that are harder to duplicate. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can explain which features fit your door.
Can you install high security locks behind my security bars?
Yes. Many Pacoima homes have bars and screen doors, and we fit hardware so it works with them. We also check the frame and strike so the lock is actually supported.
Do you help auto shops and warehouses on San Fernando Road?
Yes. We rekey roll-up gates and man-doors, and fit hardened boron padlocks. This is common after employee turnover or a theft. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk through your setup.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are a 24/7 mobile locksmith. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will talk through what you need.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We bring everything to your home, business or yard in Pacoima.
What is a restricted key?
A restricted key uses a keyway and control system that limits who can legally and practically duplicate it. It is useful for businesses and for anyone worried about stray copies.
Will a high security lock work on an older door?
Often yes, but older wood-frame doors may need reinforcement at the strike and frame. We inspect the door first and tell you plainly what is needed.
How is pricing determined?
Price depends on the lock type, key system, door and frame condition, commercial hardware and timing of the call. We explain the factors before we start. You can reach us at (323) 997-8867.
