Installing a lock sounds simple until the door in front of you has a bore that does not match, a frame that has shifted, or no hardware at all. In Pico Rivera, where so much of the housing is made up of single-story stucco tract homes from the 1950s, we often see original builder-grade locksets that have worn for decades. Replacing them, or adding a proper deadbolt where there was only a knob lock, is one of the most practical security upgrades a homeowner can make.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools and hardware to your door, whether that is a front entry on a quiet residential street, a new door for an ADU, or an aluminum storefront on Whittier Boulevard.

Lock installation is different from lockout or rekey service. It means fitting new hardware to a door: drilling or checking the bore, setting the latch, aligning the strike, and confirming the bolt throws freely into the frame. Done correctly, a new lock feels smooth and holds up. Done poorly, it binds, rattles, or fails at the worst time. We take the time to get the fit right.

How it works in Pico Rivera

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door

    When you call (323) 997-8867, describe the door: exterior or interior, wood, metal, or aluminum storefront, and whether it already has a bore or is a new door. Photos help, and we can discuss what hardware suits the situation before we arrive.

  2. 2

    Assess the door and frame on site

    We look at the door thickness, existing bore holes, the edge, the strike plate, and the frame condition. On older tract homes, the wood around the strike can be worn or split, and we note that before choosing hardware.

  3. 3

    Choose hardware that fits

    We go over deadbolts, knob and lever sets, keyed-alike options, and commercial-grade cylinders where appropriate. We recommend what matches the door and how it is used, not simply the most expensive option.

  4. 4

    Install and align

    We prepare the door, set the latch and bolt, mount the lock, and fit the strike. Where the frame needs reinforcement, we discuss a longer strike plate and screws that reach the framing.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We cycle the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, check the bolt engages fully, and confirm every key works. You get the keys and a quick walkthrough of how the hardware operates.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a standard deadbolt, a lever set, a smart or keypad lock, and a high-security cylinder all differ in hardware cost and labor.
  • Whether the door is already bored or needs new holes drilled, which is common with new doors, ADU entries, and added deadbolts.
  • Door material and condition, since solid wood, hollow-core, steel, and aluminum storefront doors each call for different preparation.
  • Frame and strike work, such as reinforcing a worn jamb on an older home or fitting a longer strike plate.
  • The number of locks and whether you want them keyed alike, which affects hardware and time on site.
  • Residential versus commercial grade requirements, including cylinder types used on storefronts and vendor spaces.

Why Pico Rivera chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: the work is done at your door, with no shop visit and no need to bring the door anywhere.
  • In business since 1987, with an owner-led approach under David Shar rather than an anonymous dispatch.
  • Available 24/7, so a door that cannot be secured at night can be addressed when it matters.
  • We install to fit, checking the bore, latch, and strike rather than forcing hardware onto a door that does not suit it.
  • We cover both residential and commercial doors, from stucco tract homes to aluminum storefronts along the boulevards.
  • We explain options plainly and do not push upgrades you do not need.

Lock Installation across Pico Rivera

Pico Rivera grew out of the Pico and Rivera districts and was incorporated in 1958, and its housing still reflects that era. Across Pico, Rivera, and North Pico Rivera, many homes are post-war single-story stucco tract houses on uniform lots, with entry locksets and deadbolts that may be original. Years of weather, daily use, and corrosion take a toll, especially toward the river-adjacent north end, and a new installation is often the cleaner fix compared with trying to nurse old hardware along. Newer apartments and ADUs around town also need locks fitted to fresh doors.

Businesses have their own needs. Strip retail and aluminum-storefront shops along Whittier, Washington, and Rosemead Boulevards often need new cylinders or a replacement lock after a broken key or a failed latch, and the Pico Rivera Towne Center area has its own mix of tenants and doors. Venues and vendors near the Pico Rivera Sports Arena sometimes need a quick commercial lock or padlock installed for event setup. Light-industrial doors near the I-605 and San Gabriel River corridor have different hardware requirements again.

We work throughout ZIP codes 90660, 90661, and 90662, reaching customers from areas near Smith Park and Streamland Park to properties close to the I-5 and I-605 and the edge of the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour and we will talk through what your door needs.

Lock Installation in Pico Rivera — FAQs

Can you install a deadbolt on a door that only has a knob lock?
Yes. If the door is the right thickness and construction, we can bore for a deadbolt and fit the strike. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door so we can plan the right hardware.
Do you install locks on new doors, like an ADU entry?
Yes. New doors often have no bore at all, and we can prepare the door, install the lockset or deadbolt, and set the strike so everything lines up with the frame.
Is lock installation different from rekeying?
Yes. Rekeying changes the internal pins of an existing lock so old keys no longer work. Installation fits new hardware to a door. Sometimes an aging lock on a 1950s home is better replaced than rekeyed, and we will tell you which makes sense.
Do you install commercial storefront locks?
Yes. We handle aluminum storefront doors, replacement cylinders, and commercial-grade hardware for shops along Whittier, Washington, and Rosemead Boulevards. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your door.
Can you come out at night or on weekends?
We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so you can call at any hour. We do not make timing promises, but we will talk through your situation right away.
Can I choose a keyed-alike set for several doors?
Yes. We can install multiple locks keyed to the same key so you carry one key for the front, back, and side doors, where the hardware supports it.
Where do I go to get a lock installed, is there a shop?
There is no storefront. We are mobile only and come to your home or business in Pico Rivera, including ZIP codes 90660, 90661, and 90662.
What if my door frame is worn or damaged?
We check the jamb and strike area first. If the wood is worn or split, we can discuss reinforcement such as a longer strike plate and screws that bite into the framing, so the new lock actually performs.
