Sun Valley is an unusual place to be a locksmith. Much of the community sits among warehouses, manufacturing buildings and yards along San Fernando Road and behind Hollywood Burbank Airport, yet tucked between those streets and up toward the Verdugo Mountains are real neighborhoods where people simply want their front door to work and feel secure. Residential locksmith work here covers a wide range of homes, from modest postwar houses to the stone and clinker-brick houses of historic Stonehurst.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are a mobile service only. There is no storefront to drive to; we bring the tools, hardware and know-how to your door, at any hour, any day of the week.

Our residential work includes rekeying after a move or a lost key, replacing worn or damaged locks, repairing sticking latches and loose deadbolts, and upgrading hardware to something more secure. Because Sun Valley homes sit so close to industrial and commercial activity, many residents also ask about stronger deadbolts, better strike plates and sensible gate hardware. We talk through what actually fits your door and your concerns rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all package.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Reach us at (323) 997-8867, any time of day or night. Tell us what is going on: locked out, keys lost, a door that will not latch, or an upgrade you are planning. We will ask about the type of door and lock so we can bring appropriate parts.

  2. 2

    We travel to your home

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to your Sun Valley address with tools and common hardware on board. We do not give arrival-time promises we cannot keep, but we will keep you informed as we head your way.

  3. 3

    Verify and assess

    Before we start, we confirm that you live at or are authorized to access the home. Then we look at the door, frame, strike plate and existing hardware to decide whether a rekey, repair or replacement makes the most sense.

  4. 4

    Do the work, carefully

    We rekey cylinders, install new deadbolts and handlesets, or repair worn parts. On older homes, including 1920s Stonehurst houses with original hardware, we work to avoid unnecessary damage to historic doors and trim.

  5. 5

    Test everything and hand over keys

    We test each lock with the door open and closed, check that the bolt fully engages the frame, and give you all working keys. We also explain what we changed and offer simple suggestions for improving security if you want them.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: rekeying existing locks generally differs from replacing hardware or installing new deadbolts and handlesets.
  • The number of locks involved, such as a single front door versus every exterior door plus a side gate or garage entry.
  • The hardware you choose, including standard grade, higher-security deadbolts, smart locks, or hardware matched to an older home.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since worn bores, damaged strike plates or warped doors may need extra repair work.
  • The time of the call, as after-hours, weekend and holiday service can be priced differently than a scheduled daytime visit.
  • Your location and access, including how far we travel and whether there are gates or other obstacles at the property.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Operating since 1987, so we have seen decades of residential lock types, from old mortise sets to modern electronic deadbolts.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, which matters when a lockout or break-in does not wait for business hours.
  • Sympathetic work on older homes: we can help match or upgrade hardware in historic Stonehurst houses without defaulting to a full replacement.
  • An owner-led company: David Shar leads the work, so you are dealing with experienced locksmiths rather than a call center.
  • Honest recommendations: if a rekey will solve your problem, we will say so instead of selling you new locks.
  • Familiarity with Sun Valley's mix of residential and industrial surroundings, so we understand why many homeowners ask about stronger deadbolts and gate hardware.

Residential Locksmith across Sun Valley

Sun Valley has a split personality, and our residential calls reflect it. Around the Stonehurst neighborhood, you find some of the area's most distinctive homes: 1920s stone and clinker-brick houses near the historic Stonehurst Recreation Center. Many still have original hardware, and homeowners often want a deadbolt upgrade and a rekey that respects the character of the door. Elsewhere, modest postwar homes line streets off Sunland Boulevard, Vineland Avenue and Glenoaks Boulevard, where common needs include lockouts, worn cylinders and rekeys after a tenant or roommate moves out.

The backdrop is industrial. The LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks are visible across much of the area, and warehouses, manufacturing buildings and yards line San Fernando Road and the corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport. Residents living close to that activity often ask about stronger deadbolts, solid strike plates and secure side-gate hardware. Further out, La Tuna Canyon homes near the Verdugo Mountains can be more isolated, which makes dependable locks on every exterior door especially worthwhile.

We serve homes throughout ZIP code 91352, with quick access by way of I-5 and CA-170, and we are available around the clock. Whether you live a short drive from the Pink Motel and Cadillac Jack's Cafe on San Fernando Road or up a quiet street in the foothills, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
