Smart lock with a lit keypad on a front door at night
Open now(323) 997-8867

Sherman Oaks is a community where a front door can mean very different things. On the valley-floor flats, you find 1930s to 1950s Spanish, traditional and ranch homes whose original doors were bored for a simple knob and deadbolt. In the hills south of the Boulevard, you find gated estates and custom contemporary homes with heavy entry doors and driveways that need their own access control. A smart lock has to suit all of these, and the right choice is rarely the one on the top shelf of a big-box store.

Smart lock installation is more than screwing a device onto a door. The door has to be checked for alignment, the bore and backset have to fit, the deadbolt has to throw cleanly, and the lock then has to be configured with user codes, app access and a mechanical backup that you actually trust. When any of that is skipped, people end up locked out by a dead battery or a sagging door that the motor can't fully extend.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around mobile service. We have no storefront. We bring the tools and hardware knowledge to you, whether that is a new install, a smart lock that stopped responding, or a rekey and keypad setup after you buy a home. We are available around the clock, so a lock problem at night does not have to wait for morning.

How it works in Sherman Oaks

  1. 1

    Talk through your door and your goals

    When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask about the door, the current lock, and how you want to get in: code, phone, fob, or a mix. We also ask who else needs access, such as family, a housekeeper or a property manager, so the setup matches real life.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    On site, we check the door's thickness, bore holes, backset, strike alignment and how it closes. Smart deadbolts work harder than mechanical ones, so a door that rubs or sticks is corrected before anything is installed.

  3. 3

    Install the lock and set the mechanical backup

    We fit the lock, align the bolt and strike, and make sure the physical key override works smoothly. A keyed backup matters, so we confirm it operates and, where useful, discuss rekeying it to a new key.

  4. 4

    Configure codes, app and users

    We program user codes, connect the lock to its app or hub if you want that, and set up any guest or temporary access. We remove factory defaults and explain how to change or delete codes yourself later.

  5. 5

    Test everything, then walk you through it

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, test with the door open and closed, and check battery and low-power behavior. Before we leave, you will know how to use the lock, replace batteries and get in if the electronics fail.

  6. 6

    Troubleshoot existing smart locks

    If you already have a smart lock that drops its connection, jams or ignores codes, we diagnose whether it is the battery, alignment, settings or the unit itself, and tell you plainly whether repair or replacement makes sense.

What affects the price

  • The lock itself: basic keypad deadbolts, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth smart locks and high-security electronic models differ widely in hardware cost.
  • Door condition: a door that is misaligned, warped or needs new bore work takes more time than a clean, well-hung door.
  • Number of doors and whether you want matching keying or one app managing several locks.
  • Extra work such as rekeying the backup cylinder, upgrading the strike plate or reprogramming a driveway gate keypad.
  • Hub, bridge or network setup if you want remote access or integration with other smart-home systems.
  • Time of the call: after-hours and urgent requests are handled differently from scheduled installs, so ask when you phone.

Why Sherman Oaks chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: we come to the door, so the install is tested on the exact door it will live on.
  • Mechanical-first thinking: we check alignment and the keyed backup before trusting electronics.
  • Experience across both residential and commercial hardware, from smart deadbolts to Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinders and Adams Rite storefront locks.
  • We explain the tradeoffs honestly, including when a simpler keypad lock suits you better than a feature-heavy one.
  • Available 24/7, which helps when a smart lock fails or a new purchase needs to be secured right away.
  • We teach you to manage codes and batteries yourself rather than leaving you dependent on us.

Smart Lock Installation across Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks calls tend to fall into a few patterns. In Chandler Estates, a common job is a high-value flats home just purchased: the owner wants a smart deadbolt on the front door, the old keys made useless through rekeying, and a clean handover of codes. We can install, troubleshoot and rekey in one visit so nobody from the previous owner's circle still has access.

South of the Boulevard, where the Santa Monica Mountains hillsides rise near Fryman Canyon, properties often combine a heavy entry door with a gated driveway. Here, smart lock work can mean fitting high-security Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinders and reprogramming the driveway gate keypad so household codes are fresh. Winding hillside roads are part of the job, and being mobile means we handle them without fuss.

In the Sherman Oaks Galleria district around Ventura and Sepulveda, and along the Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor near Westfield Fashion Square, condos, offices and shops need keypad entry for staff who come and go. Whether you are in ZIP 91403 on the flats or 91423 toward the hills, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you, day or night.

Smart Lock Installation in Sherman Oaks — FAQs

Can you install a smart lock on my existing door in Sherman Oaks?
Usually yes. Most standard entry doors accept a smart deadbolt, but we check the bore, backset and alignment first. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe your door, and we will tell you what to expect.
Which smart lock should I choose?
It depends on how you want to enter, who needs access and whether you want app or hub features. Many Sherman Oaks homeowners want something simple and reliable with a solid keyed backup, and we will recommend based on your door and habits.
What if the batteries die or the electronics fail?
A well-installed smart lock keeps a mechanical key override, and most warn you as batteries run low. We test that backup during installation. If you are ever locked out, call (323) 997-8867 any hour.
Can you fix a smart lock that isn't working?
Yes. We check batteries, door alignment, settings and the unit itself. Often the problem is a door that binds slightly, and we will tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the better route.
I just bought a home. Should I install a smart lock and rekey?
It is a smart move. New owners often cannot know who holds old keys or codes. We can install a smart lock, rekey the backup and reset all codes in one visit so access starts fresh.
Can you reprogram my gated driveway keypad?
Yes, we handle gate keypad reprogramming as part of access work, which is common for hillside properties south of the Boulevard. Tell us the make of your system when you call (323) 997-8867.
Do you do smart or keypad locks for businesses on Ventura Boulevard?
Yes. We work on commercial doors, including aluminum storefronts and panic hardware. Keypad access can help when staff change, though some commercial doors need hardware matched carefully, so we assess first.
Do I need to visit a shop?
No. We are fully mobile with no storefront. We come to your home or business in Sherman Oaks, 24/7, and do the work on site.
