A smart lock sounds like a simple swap, but in Pomona the door matters as much as the lock. The city mixes late-1800s Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, 1920s-40s period revival homes, 1970s-80s tract houses and stucco apartment courts. A keypad deadbolt that drops into a Phillips Ranch tract door can be a very different job on a Lincoln Park front door with an original mortise lock.

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, with no storefront to visit. We bring tools, hardware and the know-how to your home, rental or business, and we handle the installation, the setup and the troubleshooting when an app, keypad or battery misbehaves.

We will tell you honestly when a smart lock is a good fit and when it is not. A historic door with fragile original hardware may be better served by a restored mortise lock and a discreet add-on, or by a keypad on a secondary entrance. A rental with many units may do better with keypad codes than with Wi-Fi-dependent models. The goal is a lock that works every day, not just on the day it is installed.

How it works in Pomona

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are trying to do: keyless entry for the family, guest codes for a rental, or replacing a lock that stopped responding. We ask about the door type, the age of the home and whether you already own a lock.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door on site

    At your address we check door thickness, bore holes, the strike and the frame, and how the existing deadbolt or mortise set is built. Older Pomona doors sometimes need careful measuring before anything is drilled or changed.

  3. 3

    Choose the right lock type

    We go over keypad, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and fingerprint options, how each is powered, and whether you want a physical key as backup. We install a lock you bring or supply options suited to your door.

  4. 4

    Install and align the hardware

    We mount the lock, align the bolt with the strike so it throws smoothly, and make sure the door closes properly. A smart lock that drags or binds will drain batteries and fail early, so alignment gets real attention.

  5. 5

    Set up codes, app and settings

    We program user codes, pair the lock with your phone or hub if you want that, and set auto-lock behavior. We show you how to change codes and swap batteries so you are not dependent on us for routine tasks.

  6. 6

    Test and leave you confident

    We cycle the lock repeatedly from inside and outside, check the manual key override if there is one, and confirm everyone who needs access can get in before we leave.

What affects the price

  • The lock itself: basic keypad deadbolts, Wi-Fi models and fingerprint locks vary widely in hardware, and you may supply your own or have us source one.
  • Door condition and type: a standard prepared door is simpler than one needing bore adjustment, a repaired edge, or work around older hardware.
  • Historic or mortise hardware: Victorian and Craftsman doors with mortise sets may need a specialized approach rather than a standard swap.
  • Number of locks: several units in an apartment court or student rental can be handled in one visit, which affects how the job is scoped.
  • Setup and troubleshooting scope: app pairing, hub integration, multiple user codes and fixing an existing unreliable install add time.
  • Timing of the visit: after-hours or urgent calls are handled differently than scheduled daytime installs.

Why Pomona chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so the work happens at your door instead of requiring a trip anywhere.
  • In business since 1987, which means experience with older doors and hardware, not just current boxed products.
  • Honest recommendations: we will say if a smart lock does not suit a historic door or a high-turnover rental.
  • Installation plus setup and troubleshooting, so codes, apps and batteries are working before we leave.
  • Owner-led service from David Shar and a focus on proper door alignment, which is the quiet reason many smart locks fail early.
  • Experience with both traditional locksmith work and electronic locks, so a backup key and rekey options stay part of the conversation.

Smart Lock Installation across Pomona

Pomona homes span a long stretch of history, and that shapes smart lock work. In the Lincoln Park Historic District, large Queen Anne Victorians and Craftsman homes often have original brass mortise locks and skeleton-key sets. Replacing those with a bolt-on keypad can mean cutting into old wood, so we look at whether servicing the mortise, adding a keypad to a secondary door, or a period-sensitive solution makes more sense. In Ganesha Hills, 1920s-40s period revival homes often have solid doors that take a modern keypad deadbolt well with careful boring.

In Phillips Ranch and the newer stucco subdivisions, standard residential doors usually make installation straightforward, and families often want codes for kids, relatives and cleaners. Around Cal Poly Pomona and Western University of Health Sciences, landlords with student rentals and mid-century apartment courts in ZIP codes like 91768 and 91766 often prefer keypad locks so tenant turnover means changing a code rather than collecting keys. Westmont and the 91767 and 91769 areas have a mix of homes and small properties where the same thinking applies.

Downtown Pomona's Arts Colony, Antique Row on 2nd Street and the aluminum-storefront retail along Holt Avenue and Garey Avenue bring commercial needs: keypad entry for back rooms, studios and loft conversions. We reach you from the I-10, SR-60, SR-57 or SR-71, and because we are mobile only, you never need to bring a lock to us. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

Smart Lock Installation in Pomona — FAQs

Can you install a smart lock on an old Pomona home?
Often yes, but it depends on the door. Newer or standard prepared doors are simple. Historic doors with mortise locks may need a different approach, and we will tell you what is practical. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Do I need to buy the lock first?
No. You can supply your own or we can help you choose one that suits your door and how you want to use it. Either way we install, set up and test it.
Will a smart lock work if my Wi-Fi goes down?
Most keypad and Bluetooth functions work without Wi-Fi, and many locks keep a physical key or battery backup. Remote features need connectivity. We explain how your chosen model behaves when the network drops.
Can you do several apartment units at once?
Yes. For student rentals near Cal Poly Pomona or apartment courts, we can handle multiple doors in one mobile visit. Call (323) 997-8867 to plan it around tenant turnover.
Can you fix a smart lock I already installed?
Yes. We troubleshoot keypads that stop responding, apps that will not pair, doors that bind and bolts that do not fully extend. Often the problem is alignment or batteries.
Can I still use a key with a smart lock?
Many models include a keyed override and we can often keep your existing key setup or rekey it. We will confirm what your model offers before installing.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile. We do not make timing promises, but you can call any time.
Do you service commercial doors in Pomona?
We can help with keypad and keyless entry for offices, studios and storefronts depending on the door and hardware. Describe your setup and we will say what fits.
