Installing a lock where none existed is a different job from replacing one. A new door, a converted garage, a freshly built office suite or a side gate all need the right hardware, a clean bore in the door, and a latch that lines up with the frame. If any of those is off, the lock sticks, rattles or fails to secure the door.

Tarzana has a wide mix of buildings, and the right lock depends on which kind you have. The ranch homes and apartments on the flats north of Ventura Boulevard often have builder-grade hardware. The hillside properties south of the Boulevard may call for high-security or smart locks and gate hardware. The medical and professional suites along Ventura need keying that works for a whole office. We bring the tools to each of these jobs, because we are fully mobile and come to you.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We have no storefront, so there is nothing to drive to. We come to your door, look at what you have, and install the lock that suits the door, the building and how you use it.

How it works in Tarzana

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are securing: an entry door, a patio slider, an interior office door, a gate or a garage side door. We ask about door material, thickness and who needs keys, so we arrive with suitable hardware.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and frame on site

    We check the door's thickness, material, condition and the frame. A solid-core door, a hollow door and an aluminum storefront door each need different handling. If the frame is weak, we tell you before we start.

  3. 3

    Select the lock and keying

    We go over options such as deadbolts, handlesets, smart locks, or commercial-grade hardware. We also settle keying: one key for the whole home, or a keyed-alike or master-key scheme for an office with several doors.

  4. 4

    Prepare the door and install

    We mark and cut the bore and edge for the lock, fit the latch and strike, and reinforce the strike area where it helps. The goal is a lock that sits square and throws smoothly with no forcing.

  5. 5

    Test, adjust and hand over keys

    We operate the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, adjust the alignment, and confirm every key works. We then walk you through how it operates, including any smart-lock settings, and hand over all keys.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen, since a basic deadbolt, a high-security cylinder and a smart lock differ widely in hardware cost.
  • Whether the door must be drilled new or already has the bores, since cutting a fresh door takes more labor.
  • Door material and condition, such as solid wood, metal, glass or a worn older door that needs extra work.
  • The number of locks and doors, and whether they need to be keyed alike or on a master-key system.
  • Added items like gate hardware, intercom integration, strike reinforcement or frame repair.
  • Timing and location, as after-hours calls and hillside driveways can affect the job.

Why Tarzana chooses us

  • Fully mobile, so installation happens at your door with tools and hardware in the van, not at a shop.
  • Available 24/7, which helps when a new door or a break-in repair needs to be secured the same night.
  • Serving the region since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, leading the work.
  • Experience across home and commercial doors, from ranch-home entries to office suites needing master keying.
  • We tell you if the door or frame needs work before installing, rather than fitting a good lock to a weak door.
  • We explain the options plainly and avoid pushing hardware you do not need.

Lock Installation across Tarzana

Tarzana sits on both sides of Ventura Boulevard, and the locks people need differ on each side. On the flats north of the Boulevard, in ZIP code 91356, many homes are 1950s ranch houses and apartments. Added doors, converted garages and updated entries there often need new deadbolts or handlesets fitted to older doors and frames. We also meet older hardware, such as a seized mortise lock, that is better rebuilt or replaced than forced.

South of the Boulevard, the hillside area toward Mulholland Drive, ZIP code 91357, holds larger custom homes and gated estates. Here a new lock may be part of a bigger setup, such as a smart lock, gate hardware or an intercom. Properties around El Caballero also tend to have several entry points, which makes a consistent keying plan worthwhile.

Along Ventura Boulevard, near Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center and the many professional offices, new suites and tenant improvements need locks on freshly built doors. We can install and key these so staff share what they need and private rooms stay secure. We reach Tarzana from Reseda Boulevard, Tampa Avenue and the 101, any hour of the day or night.

Lock Installation in Tarzana — FAQs

What does lock installation cover?
It means fitting a new lock where there was none, such as on a new door, a converted space, a gate or an office suite. This differs from replacing or rekeying an existing lock. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Can you install locks on a door that has never had one?
Yes. We cut the bore and latch edge, fit the hardware and set the strike. First we check that the door is thick and solid enough to hold the lock properly.
Do you install smart locks in Tarzana?
Yes. Many homes south of Ventura Boulevard have smart locks, and we can install them and walk you through setup. We also help pair them sensibly with existing deadbolts and gates.
Can you set up master keys for a medical or professional office?
Yes. We can install locks on a Ventura Boulevard suite and arrange keying so staff access suits their roles. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss the doors involved.
Is lock installation available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. That helps if a new or damaged door must be secured quickly. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Do I need to visit a shop to choose a lock?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We bring hardware to you, look at the door and help you decide on site.
What if my door or frame is too worn for a new lock?
We will tell you before installing. Sometimes a reinforced strike or small frame repair solves it. If the door itself is unsuitable, we explain the options.
How is the price of an installation decided?
It depends on the lock type, the door material, whether the door needs drilling, the number of locks and any extras like gate or intercom work. We explain these factors up front. Call (323) 997-8867 to start.
