A smart lock is still a lock first. It has to fit your door, line up with the strike, and hold up to daily use before any app or keypad matters. Our work starts with the hardware: checking the door prep, the bore holes, the backset, the latch and the strike, then mounting the lock so it operates smoothly.

The second half is setup. We program user codes, pair the lock with your phone or hub where the model supports it, adjust auto-lock and handing, and walk you through how to use it, including what to do if batteries run low or the app is unavailable. We also troubleshoot locks that are already installed, such as ones that jam, misread codes, drop their connection, or never finished pairing.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served this area since 1987, led by owner David Shar. We are mobile only. There is no storefront to visit; we bring tools and work at your home, rental, or business, and we will tell you plainly if a particular lock is a poor match for your door.

How our smart lock installation service works

  1. 1

    Talk through what you want

    We start by learning what you need: keypad, fingerprint, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, deadbolt or handleset, and who needs access. If you have already bought a lock, tell us the brand and model when you call.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    On site we check door thickness, bore size, backset, latch type, strike alignment and whether the door closes true. A smart lock on a sagging door will fail early, so problems are addressed first.

  3. 3

    Remove the old lock and install the new one

    We take off the existing hardware, fit the new lock, and secure the mounting plate, latch and strike. We test the bolt by hand before powering anything up.

  4. 4

    Program codes, pairing and settings

    We set your master code, add user codes, pair with your phone or hub where supported, and configure auto-lock, handing and any alerts you want.

  5. 5

    Test and walk you through it

    We run the lock through repeated cycles, from inside and outside, with the door open and closed. Then we show you how to change codes, replace batteries and use the manual key or backup option.

What affects the price

  • The lock itself: whether you supply it or we do, and its brand, features and build quality.
  • Door condition: extra prep, a new bore, strike repair or adjustment for a door that does not close squarely.
  • Number of locks and doors, including matching several entrances to one system.
  • Complexity of setup: hub or app pairing, multiple user codes, or integration with other smart-home devices.
  • Whether it is a new install, a replacement of an existing smart lock, or troubleshooting a lock already in place.
  • Time of day and location, since we serve nights, weekends and holidays and travel to you.

Do you also supply smart locks?
We can discuss options with you based on your door, your needs and how you want to use the lock. You are also welcome to provide your own.
What if my smart lock stopped working or won't pair?
We troubleshoot these. Common causes include batteries, door misalignment, a lost connection and incomplete setup. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what is happening.
Will a smart lock fit my existing door?
Most standard prepared doors work, but we check thickness, bore size, backset and latch type on site. Some doors need adjustment first.

Most smart locks have a backup, such as a physical key, external battery contacts, or a low-battery warning. We show you the backup for your model.
Do I still need a key?
It depends on the lock. Some keep a keyed cylinder and some are keyless. We explain which applies and help you plan for backup access.
Can you set up codes for family, guests or tenants?
Yes, where the lock supports multiple codes. We program them and show you how to add, change or delete codes yourself.
