A lock that sticks, spins loose, or has been through a break-in is not something to put up with. In Sun Valley the reasons for replacement vary a lot. One caller has a 1920s stone house in Stonehurst with hardware older than anyone on the block. Another runs a yard off San Fernando Road where a cut padlock means real losses overnight. We handle both, and everything between, with new locks fitted on site.

Lock replacement is different from rekeying. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working, and it is often the cheaper fix when the lock itself is sound. Replacement makes sense when the hardware is worn, corroded, bent, forced, or simply too weak for what it protects. We will tell you honestly which one your door actually needs, even if that means doing less work.

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 storefront to visit. We bring hardware and tools to you, at any hour, and finish the job at your door.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Tell us what is failing

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the problem: a sticking deadbolt, a broken gate lock, a door that was forced, or hardware you simply want upgraded. Details like door type and how many locks are involved help us arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door, frame and lock

    On site we look at more than the lock. A worn strike plate, a loose frame or a sagging door can make a new lock fail early, so we check how everything fits together before recommending anything.

  3. 3

    Choose the right hardware

    We go over options suited to your property. A historic home may call for a sympathetic deadbolt that respects the look of the door, while a yard gate or roll-up door usually needs hardened, weather-resistant hardware.

  4. 4

    Remove the old lock and install the new one

    We take out the old hardware and fit the replacement, adjusting the latch, bolt and strike so it throws smoothly and seats fully. If the door was damaged by a forced entry, we address what can be repaired on site.

  5. 5

    Key it and test it

    We cut and test keys, and can key multiple locks alike so one key covers a house or a set of doors. We operate everything several times and make sure it works properly before we finish.

  6. 6

    Walk through care and next steps

    We show you how the new hardware works and note anything else worth watching, such as a weak frame or an aging neighboring lock, so you can decide what to do next without pressure.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic residential deadbolt, a high-security cylinder, a hardened padlock and a roll-up door lock are all very different products.
  • How many locks are being replaced, and whether they are to be keyed alike so a single key works across them.
  • Door and frame condition, including whether a strike plate, reinforcement or minor repair is needed after wear or a forced entry.
  • Special fit requirements, such as original 1920s hardware in a historic home or heavy-duty gates and industrial man-doors.
  • Time and circumstances of the call, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours or urgent visits can differ from scheduled daytime work.
  • Whether you also want rekeying, extra keys or related hardware added during the same visit.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the hardware to your home, yard or warehouse, with no storefront trip required.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so experience with older and unusual hardware is real, not claimed.
  • We distinguish honestly between replacing and rekeying, and will not sell a new lock where a rekey would do.
  • Comfortable with both residential and industrial work, from Stonehurst deadbolts to yard-gate padlocks and roll-up door locks.
  • Available 24/7, which matters after a break-in when a door cannot be left unsecured until morning.
  • We check the door and frame, not just the lock, so the new hardware actually performs.

Lock Replacement across Sun Valley

Sun Valley is an unusual mix. San Fernando Road and the industrial corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport are lined with warehouses, manufacturing shops, auto-dismantlers and recycling yards, all of which depend on gates, roll-up doors and man-doors that hold up to theft. Picture a yard along San Fernando Road after a break-in: a cut padlock and a damaged gate latch call for hardened replacement hardware, not a quick patch. Or a warehouse near the airport where staff turnover means every lock should change.

Residential Sun Valley is just as varied. Modest postwar homes sit near Glenoaks Boulevard, Sunland Boulevard and Vineland Avenue, while the historic Stonehurst district, near the Stonehurst Recreation Center, has 1920s stone and clinker-brick houses. Those homes often still carry original hardware. A sympathetic deadbolt upgrade and a rekey can add real security without spoiling the character of a door that has lasted a century. Up toward La Tuna Canyon, homes at the base of the Verdugo Mountains have their own needs, including weather and more isolated entries.

We serve ZIP code 91352 and the surrounding area, with easy access from I-5 and CA-170 at any hour. Whether you are near the LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks or a few blocks from the Pink Motel and Cadillac Jack's Cafe, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Replacement in Sun Valley — FAQs

What is the difference between lock replacement and rekeying?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping the same lock body. Replacement installs new hardware. If your lock is worn, damaged or too weak, replacement makes sense. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will help you decide.
Can you replace locks at an auto yard or warehouse in Sun Valley?
Yes. We replace yard-gate locks, hardened padlocks, roll-up door locks and man-door hardware for commercial and industrial properties along San Fernando Road and near the airport corridor. We can also rekey after staff turnover.
Can you upgrade locks on an older Stonehurst home without ruining its look?
Usually, yes. Many historic homes have original 1920s hardware, and we can often fit a deadbolt that suits the door and upgrade security with minimal visual impact. We inspect the door first to see what will fit well.
Do I need to replace my locks after a break-in?
Often, yes, especially if the lock was forced or the keys may have been taken. We check the lock, door and frame, then replace what is damaged. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour if you need a door secured.
Can you key several new locks to one key?
Yes. We can key multiple locks alike so one key works across your doors, or set up separate keys where you want separation, which can be useful for a business with several areas.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. We do not claim specific arrival times, but you can reach us any hour at (323) 997-8867.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only. We bring the tools and hardware to your Sun Valley home, yard or business and do the work on site.
How is the price of a lock replacement decided?
It depends on the type and number of locks, the condition of the door and frame, any special fit needs, and the time of the call. We explain the options before starting so you can choose what suits your property.
