Smart locks look simple on the box, but a good installation depends on the door in front of you. In Sun Valley that door could be a 1920s home in Stonehurst, a postwar house off Sunland Boulevard, or a steel man-door on a warehouse along San Fernando Road. Each one calls for different hardware, different prep work and a different idea of what 'secure' means.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on mobile service. We have no storefront. We bring the tools and the hardware knowledge to your door, and we are available 24/7, so a smart lock install does not have to wait for business hours or a long drive across the Valley.
We handle three kinds of requests: new installs of keypad, keyless and smart deadbolts; setup and troubleshooting of smart locks you already own, including pairing, codes and app problems; and replacing a failed electronic lock with something dependable. We will also tell you plainly when a smart lock is not the right choice for a particular door.
How it works in Sun Valley
- 1
Talk through the door and your goal
We start by learning what you want: shared codes for staff or family, app access, a keypad only, or a lock that works with a system you already use. We also ask about the door material, its age and how heavily it is used.
- 2
Check the door, frame and existing hardware
On arrival we inspect the bore holes, backset, door thickness, strike plate and frame. Older doors, like the original ones in Stonehurst homes, sometimes need careful adjustment so the new lock does not damage the wood or the character of the door.
- 3
Recommend suitable hardware
We suggest locks that fit the door and the way you live or work. For a commercial man-door that gets constant traffic we look at durability and code management. For a home we weigh convenience, battery access and a physical key backup.
- 4
Install and align the lock
We mount the deadbolt or lockset, align the bolt with the strike, and make sure it throws smoothly without forcing. A smart lock that binds in the frame will wear out batteries and fail early, so we test the mechanical side first.
- 5
Set up codes, app and settings
We program user codes, pair the lock with your phone or hub where applicable, and set options such as auto-lock. We remove any test codes so only the ones you intend to use remain active.
- 6
Walk you through everyday use
Before leaving we show you how to add or delete codes, change batteries, and use the backup key or override. You should be comfortable running the lock yourself before we go.

What affects the price
- The lock itself: basic keypad deadbolts, connected smart locks and heavier commercial-grade electronic hardware sit in very different cost ranges.
- Door condition and type: solid wood, metal, or older doors may need drilling, reinforcing or frame work before the lock fits properly.
- Number of locks: outfitting several doors at one property usually differs from a single-door visit.
- Setup complexity: connecting to apps, hubs or multiple user codes takes more time than a simple standalone keypad.
- Rekeying or upgrading alongside the install: adding a matching rekey or a deadbolt upgrade changes the scope of work.
- Time of service: because we are available 24/7, after-hours or urgent calls can be priced differently from scheduled visits.
Why Sun Valley chooses us
- Fully mobile since 1987: we work at your door, with no storefront and no need for you to bring the door to us.
- Available 24/7, so an install or a failed electronic lock can be handled outside business hours.
- Honest recommendations: we will tell you if a smart lock is a poor fit for a door, or if a hardened mechanical lock is the better choice.
- Familiar with older and industrial doors: from 1920s Stonehurst homes to roll-up and man-doors in warehouses, we plan around what the door actually is.
- We set up the whole system, not just the hardware: codes, app pairing and a walkthrough are part of the visit.
- Owner-led experience: David Shar has been working on locks in Greater Los Angeles for decades.
Smart Lock Installation 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, while residential pockets stretch from modest postwar homes to the historic Stonehurst district. Our work in ZIP code 91352 reflects that range, and so does the way we approach smart locks.
For businesses off San Fernando Road, Glenoaks Boulevard or Vineland Avenue, keypad and smart entry can simplify life after staff turnover, since codes can be changed or removed without handing out new keys. We would pair that with solid mechanical security, such as hardened padlocks, gate locks and roll-up door hardware, because electronic access is only one layer when theft is a concern in a yard or warehouse.
In Stonehurst, the stone and clinker-brick houses from the 1920s often still have original hardware and old door preps. A smart deadbolt can work there, but it needs to be fitted sympathetically so the door is not butchered. Whether you are near the Stonehurst Recreation Center, up toward La Tuna Canyon at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains, or close to I-5 and CA-170, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
