Installing a lock sounds simple until you stand in front of the actual door. In Rolling Hills, that door might be a solid wood entry on a 1950s ranch house, a Dutch door on a stable, a sliding door off a patio, or a new guest-house addition at the back of a one-acre lot. Each needs different hardware, a different bore and a different plan for how it will be used day to day.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on showing up at the property and doing the work properly. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools, hardware options and experience to you, at any hour.

This page covers what lock installation involves for Rolling Hills homes and horse properties: how we choose hardware, what affects the cost, and what to expect when we arrive. If you are adding locks to a new build, a converted outbuilding or a door that has always been open, this is the work we do.

How it works in Rolling Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door and how it is used

    When you call (323) 997-8867, describe the opening: house entry, garage side door, barn, tack room, gate or guest house. Tell us the material, whether it is new or existing, and who needs access. A tack room used by several ranch hands calls for different hardware than a private front door.

  2. 2

    Arrange gate clearance

    Rolling Hills is a single gated community with manned security entries. Let the gate know a locksmith is expected, or give us the details needed to be cleared, so we can reach your home without delay. We come to you, so no one has to travel to meet us.

  3. 3

    Assess the door and recommend hardware

    On site we check door thickness, material, frame condition and any existing preparation. We then recommend options such as deadbolts, keyed entry sets, or heavier outbuilding hardware, and explain the tradeoffs in plain terms before work starts.

  4. 4

    Prepare the door and install

    For new openings we drill the bore and edge cuts accurately, mortise the strike, and set the hardware so the bolt throws smoothly into reinforced framing. Clean, square work matters on the painted wood doors typical of mid-century ranch houses.

  5. 5

    Key the locks the way you need

    We can key new locks alike so one key covers the house, or keep barn and tack-room locks separate so access can be granted selectively. Planning this at installation avoids a rekey later.

  6. 6

    Test and walk you through it

    We operate every lock repeatedly, check alignment and strike fit, and hand over keys. If an electronic gate or other system is nearby, we make sure the new hardware works alongside it.

What affects the price

  • The number of doors or openings getting new locks, since each one involves its own preparation and testing.
  • Whether the door is already drilled or needs a new bore and edge cut, which adds labor on solid wood or metal doors.
  • The grade and type of hardware you choose, from standard residential deadbolts to heavier-duty outbuilding or keypad options.
  • Door material and condition, because older ranch-era wood doors or reinforced barn doors may need extra fitting or frame work.
  • How locks are keyed, such as all alike, separate keys per building, or a master arrangement across house and barn.
  • Time of day and urgency, since we operate 24/7 and after-hours calls differ from scheduled visits.

Why Rolling Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987, so we do the work at your property rather than asking you to bring anything anywhere.
  • Experience with both house and horse-property hardware, from entry deadbolts to barn and tack-room security.
  • Straightforward recommendations: we explain which hardware suits the door and do not push upgrades you do not need.
  • Careful installation on older mid-century wood doors, where tidy boring and fitting protect the original look.
  • Keying plans built around real access needs, such as caretakers, ranch hands or guest-house occupants.
  • Available 24/7, so a new door can be secured when the work is finished, not days later.

Lock Installation across Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills is one fully gated enclave in ZIP code 90274, with three manned entries: the Main Gate off Palos Verdes Drive North serving the Portuguese Bend Road area, the Eastfield Gate serving the Eastfield Drive area, and the Crest Gate serving the Crest Road area. Because every visit begins at a security gate, we encourage you to notify the gate of our visit so we can reach you promptly.

Homes here are mostly large single-family ranch-style estates on lots of an acre or more, many built in the 1950s and 60s. Beyond the main house, properties often include guest quarters, garages, barns, stables and tack rooms, all of which may need their own locks. The white three-rail fencing and private bridle trails reflect how much of life here happens outdoors, so outbuildings deserve the same thought as the front door.

The hilltop climate brings fog and salt air that can wear on exterior hardware, so we discuss finishes and materials suited to exposure. Roads like Portuguese Bend Road, Eastfield Drive, Crest Road and Rolling Hills Road are private, rural and often unlit at night, so if you call after dark, tell us your address and any landmarks that help us find the driveway.

Lock Installation in Rolling Hills — FAQs

Do you install locks on barns and tack rooms in Rolling Hills?
Yes. We install hardware for stable doors, barn doors and tack rooms, and can key them separately from the main house. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door so we can bring suitable hardware.
How do you get through the Rolling Hills security gates?
The community has manned entry gates, and visitors are cleared by security. Let the gate know a locksmith is expected from Crenshaw Lock Company, or give us the details we need to be cleared, and we will come to your property.
Can you install a lock where there has never been one?
Yes. That is a core part of this service. We can drill a new door, prepare the edge, install the deadbolt or lockset and reinforce the strike as needed for a secure result.
Can one key work for my house, guest house and garage?
Yes, we can key locks alike so a single key covers several doors. We can also keep certain doors, such as a barn, on separate keys. Plan this when you call (323) 997-8867.
Will new hardware suit my mid-century ranch home?
We can recommend finishes and styles that look appropriate on 1950s and 60s ranch doors, and we take care with fitting so the door is not damaged. Fog and salt air also factor into choosing durable finishes.
Do you offer lock installation at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If a new door or outbuilding needs securing outside normal hours, call us.
What determines the cost of installation?
Mainly the number of locks, whether doors need drilling, the hardware grade, door material and the keying arrangement. We explain the factors and the plan before starting work.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is entirely mobile, so we come to your Rolling Hills property and do the work there.
