Installing a lock where none existed before is a different job from replacing one. A new door has to be bored correctly, the latch and strike have to line up with the frame, and the hardware has to suit the door material and how the opening is used. In Sherman Oaks that can mean a solid-core door on a 1950s ranch home in the flats, a custom pivot door on a contemporary house in the hills, or an aluminum storefront door on Ventura Boulevard.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We bring the tools and hardware to your door, whether you are finishing a remodel, adding a side gate, converting a room into a secured office, or upgrading an entry that has only ever had a simple knob.

Because Sherman Oaks has such a mix of housing and business types, we start by understanding what the door needs to do. A hillside estate wants restricted keyways and tight key control. A condo owner may want a smart lock that works with the building's rules. A restaurant owner wants hardware that meets exit requirements and survives daily use. We talk through those needs first, then install the right hardware cleanly.

How it works in Sherman Oaks

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door: material, thickness, whether it is new or an existing opening, and whether it is for a home, a gate or a business. Tell us what you want, such as a keyed deadbolt, a smart lock or high-security cylinders.

  2. 2

    Inspect the opening on site

    We come to you and look at the door, the frame and the surrounding hardware. We check for door prep, clearances, frame condition and anything that could make a lock bind or fail, like a sagging hinge side or a hollow frame.

  3. 3

    Recommend hardware that fits

    We explain options in plain terms: standard grade deadbolts, higher-security cylinders such as Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, restricted keyways, electronic deadbolts, or commercial hardware for storefronts. You choose before any work begins.

  4. 4

    Prepare the door and install

    We bore and mortise as needed, set the latch and strike, reinforce the frame where it makes sense, and mount the lock. For electronic locks we configure codes and test the mechanism.

  5. 5

    Test, key and walk through

    We operate the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm smooth latching, and hand over keys or codes. We show you how to use and maintain it so it keeps working.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic keyed deadbolt, a high-security cylinder system and a smart lock differ widely in hardware cost and setup time.
  • Door condition and material: a new solid-core door may be ready to go, while an unprepared door, metal door or aluminum storefront may need boring, mortising or specialty fittings.
  • Number of locks and keying: several doors keyed alike, or a restricted keyway with controlled key duplication, changes the scope of the job.
  • Extras such as gate keypads, access control or panic hardware add programming and testing beyond a simple installation.
  • Timing and location: after-hours calls and hillside properties on winding roads can affect the service call, which we explain before we begin.

Why Sherman Oaks chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so installation happens at your property rather than at a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with hands-on experience across everything from older Spanish and ranch homes to modern custom builds.
  • Familiar with high-security systems like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, and with restricted keyways for owners who want tighter key control.
  • We can handle residential and commercial hardware, including aluminum-storefront locks and panic devices, so one call covers a home and a business.
  • We explain the options and what each includes before starting, so you are not surprised by the work or the result.

Lock Installation across Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks is really two places. On the valley-floor flats, you find 1930s to 1950s Spanish, traditional and ranch homes alongside upscale condos and apartments. In Chandler Estates, a new owner might want a smart lock installed, tested and keyed properly after buying a high-value home. Older doors there often need careful prep so modern hardware seats correctly. Our work in ZIP code 91403 often starts with exactly that kind of upgrade.

South of the Boulevard, the Santa Monica Mountains hillsides bring gated estates, custom contemporary houses and canyon homes on winding roads near Fryman Canyon. Owners there often ask for high-security Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinders, restricted keyways, and driveway gate keypads or call-boxes that work with the entry doors. Being mobile matters on those roads, because we bring everything to the property. We also serve addresses in ZIP code 91423.

Along the Ventura Boulevard corridor, near the Sherman Oaks Galleria at Ventura and Sepulveda and Westfield Fashion Square, restaurants, boutiques and offices need hardware suited to aluminum-storefront doors, including Adams Rite locks and panic devices. Whether you are near Sherman Oaks Castle Park or just off the I-405 or US-101, call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

Lock Installation in Sherman Oaks — FAQs

What does lock installation cover in Sherman Oaks?
It covers fitting new locks where none existed, such as a new door, a new gate, a converted room or a newly framed opening. We prepare the door, install the hardware and test it. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your project.
Is this different from replacing or rekeying a lock?
Yes. Replacement swaps hardware in an existing lock hole and rekeying changes the pins. Installation can involve boring a new door, setting a latch and strike, and fitting the frame, so it takes more preparation.
Can you install high-security locks like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock?
Yes. Many hillside and high-value homes ask for these cylinders and restricted keyways. We will explain how key control works and what to expect before you decide.
Can you install a smart lock on my home?
Yes. We install electronic deadbolts, set up codes and test them. We check the door alignment first, because a smart lock works best when the bolt moves freely.
Do you work on gate keypads and call-boxes at hillside estates?
We can program and service driveway gate keypads and coordinate them with entry door locks. Describe your system when you call (323) 997-8867 so we can plan appropriately.
Can you handle Ventura Boulevard storefront doors?
Yes. We work with aluminum-storefront hardware, including Adams Rite locks and panic hardware, and can check that your exit devices operate properly.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Installations are usually scheduled, but you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
Do I need to have the lock already purchased?
No. We can supply and recommend hardware, or install a lock you already bought if it suits the door. We will tell you honestly if it is a poor fit.
