Lock installation is different from replacing a lock that already works. Sometimes there is a new door, a freshly built addition, or a side entry that never had hardware. Sometimes the old setup is so worn or corroded that it makes more sense to start over. In Redondo Beach, that covers a wide range of buildings, from 1920s beach bungalows and Spanish homes near Hollywood Riviera to the attached townhomes that fill much of North Redondo.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and our technicians are fully mobile. There is no shop to visit. We bring the tools, hardware, and door-prep equipment to your property and do the work where the door is. That matters for installation, because the fit of a lock depends on the actual door, the actual frame, and the actual conditions around it.

A good installation is more than drilling two holes. The bore has to be square, the latch and strike have to line up, and the lock has to suit the door material and the way people use it. Near the coast, hardware also has to stand up to salt air. We help you pick a lock that fits your door, your budget, and your security needs, and then install it cleanly so it works smoothly for years.

How it works in Redondo Beach

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are securing: a new front door, a garage service door, a patio slider, a gate, or a storage unit. We ask about door material, existing prep, and whether you want one key across several locks.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and frame on site

    When we arrive, we check the door thickness, material, edge condition, and frame. Wood, metal, fiberglass, and older doors all call for slightly different prep, and a weak frame is better addressed before a new lock goes on.

  3. 3

    Choose hardware that suits the property

    We go over grades, finishes, and styles with you. For homes close to the water, we talk about corrosion-resistant finishes. For townhomes, we can plan matching keys across all entries.

  4. 4

    Prepare the door and install

    We bore and mortise the door as needed, fit the latch and strike, and set the lock so the bolt throws fully and the door closes without binding. Where reinforcement helps, we discuss it before we start.

  5. 5

    Test, key, and walk you through

    We cycle every lock several times with the door open and closed, confirm the keys work, and show you how any smart or keypad features operate. You leave knowing the door is secure.

What affects the price

  • Whether the door is already bored and prepped or needs new holes cut, which changes how much labor is involved.
  • The lock type you choose, such as a basic deadbolt, a handleset combination, a high-security cylinder, or a smart lock.
  • The security grade and finish of the hardware, including corrosion-resistant options for coastal exposure.
  • The number of doors and whether you want them all keyed alike to a single key.
  • Door material and condition, since solid wood, metal, fiberglass, and older doors need different prep.
  • Whether the frame or strike area needs reinforcement, or the job involves gates, padlocks, or commercial hardware.

Why Redondo Beach chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so installation can happen when it fits your schedule, including evenings and weekends.
  • In business since 1987, with long experience across the wide mix of door types found in the South Bay.
  • Keyed-alike planning for multi-door townhomes, so one key can open the front, garage service, and patio doors.
  • Honest advice on grade and finish, including when a more durable cylinder is worth it near the coast.
  • Work done at your property, with no storefront trip, and the door tested before we leave.
  • We tell you if a door or frame needs attention first, rather than putting a good lock on a weak setup.

Lock Installation across Redondo Beach

Redondo Beach splits naturally into two lock-installation worlds. South Redondo, ZIP 90277, includes Hollywood Riviera, Riviera Village, and the streets near the Redondo Beach Pier and International Boardwalk. Here you find 1920s to 1950s bungalows, Spanish-style homes on the hillside, and pier-area condos. Older doors may have odd thicknesses or previous prep that does not match modern hardware, and constant salt air is hard on exterior finishes. A Riviera homeowner upgrading corroded deadbolts on a 1940s Spanish home is a typical example, where a sturdier cylinder and a finish suited to the coast make a real difference.

North Redondo, ZIP 90278, covers El Nido, Golden Hills, and The Avenues, where attached townhomes and small-lot subdivisions from the 1980s to 2000s dominate. These homes often have several entry doors, including a front door, a garage service door, and a rear patio door, so installation is often about matching hardware and setting up one key for everything. HOA rules sometimes limit finishes or styles, so it helps to check them before choosing hardware. Streets off Artesia Blvd, Torrance Blvd, Aviation Blvd, and Inglewood Ave are all part of our mobile routes.

Near King Harbor Marina, we also see gates, storage units, and padlocks that take a beating from salt and moisture. Whether it is a dock-side storage locker, a commercial door near Pacific Coast Hwy, or a home near Veterans Park, we bring hardware suited to the setting and install it on site.

Lock Installation in Redondo Beach — FAQs

Do you install locks on doors that never had one?
Yes. We can bore a new door or an unprepped door, fit the latch and strike, and install the lock. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door so we can bring the right hardware.
Can you set up all my townhome doors on one key?
Yes. For North Redondo townhomes in areas like The Avenues or El Nido, we can install or rekey the front, garage service, and patio doors so a single key operates all of them.
What lock should I use near the ocean?
Salt air corrodes many standard finishes. We can recommend corrosion-resistant hardware and a higher-grade cylinder for exterior doors, especially in Hollywood Riviera and near the pier and harbor.
Do you install smart locks?
Yes, we install keypad and smart deadbolts and explain how they work. We also check the door and frame, since a smart lock still needs a properly aligned door to work well.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule an installation that suits you.
Do I need to visit your shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We come to your home, townhome, marina site, or business in Redondo Beach.
Can you install gate or storage locks at King Harbor?
We can service and install padlocks and unit locks for marina-area gates and storage, including after a lost key. Contact us at (323) 997-8867 with details about the setup.
How is the price decided?
Price depends on the lock type and grade, how many doors are involved, door prep and condition, and any frame reinforcement. We talk through these factors before work begins.
