Installing a lock where none existed before is different from replacing a worn one. The door has to be measured and prepared, the hardware has to match the door's thickness and the frame, and the finished lock has to latch cleanly and feel solid. In Temple City, that work comes up in a few distinct ways: a new build going up where a 1950s ranch home used to stand, a small townhome or apartment project, or a shop on Las Tunas Drive adding security to a back door or storeroom.

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. There is no storefront to visit, so the work happens at your door, whether that is a house under construction or a commercial space that needs to be secured before opening.

A good installation is more than drilling a hole. It means choosing the right deadbolt and handleset for the door, aligning the strike plate so the bolt throws freely, and keying everything in a way that makes sense for the people who will use it. If you have several doors, we can key them alike or set up a simple master key arrangement so one key does what you need it to.

How it works in Temple City

  1. 1

    Talk through the doors and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are securing: a new front door, a back slider, an interior office door, or a whole development. We ask about door material, the number of doors, and how you want keys to work so we can arrive with suitable hardware.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and frame

    On site, we check the door's thickness, material, and condition, along with the frame and jamb. A solid-core door, a hollow door, a wood frame, and a metal storefront door each call for different handling, and we point out anything that could weaken the installation.

  3. 3

    Prepare the door

    We mark and bore the door for the lock and bolt, cut the mortise for the latch and strike, and keep the work clean so the finish stays tidy. Careful preparation is what lets the bolt move smoothly instead of binding.

  4. 4

    Install and align the hardware

    The lockset goes in, the strike plate is set into the frame, and we confirm the bolt extends fully into the jamb. Where it helps, we recommend a reinforced strike or longer screws to anchor the plate into the framing.

  5. 5

    Key the locks

    We supply the keys and can set multiple locks to the same key, or build a simple master key setup for a small multi-unit property. You decide how many doors share a key and who gets which one.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We cycle every lock several times with the door open and closed, check the latch and deadbolt, and hand over the keys. You leave with working, tested hardware and a clear idea of how it is keyed.

What affects the price

  • The number of doors being fitted, since several locks at one property are scheduled and handled differently than a single door.
  • The type of hardware chosen, such as a basic deadbolt, a handleset combination, or a higher-security cylinder.
  • Door and frame material and condition, including whether a door needs additional boring or a frame needs reinforcement.
  • Whether the locks are keyed individually, keyed alike, or set up with a simple master key system.
  • The time of day or night the work is requested, given that we are available around the clock.
  • Whether the job is residential, commercial, or part of a larger new construction or development project.

  • Available 24/7, so installation can be arranged around construction schedules or business hours.
  • We explain what we find in the door and frame and recommend reinforcement only where it actually improves the result.

Lock Installation across Temple City

Temple City is a quiet, residential valley-floor city, and much of its housing is made up of single-story ranch and stucco homes from the 1950s and 1960s. Many of those lots are now seeing teardown-and-rebuild projects, and each new house needs a full set of locks installed and keyed: front entry, garage access, back and side doors, and often a slider. In neighborhoods like Mission View Acres and the Camellia area, we work with homeowners and builders who want the finished home secured and keyed properly from day one.

Downtown Las Tunas Drive is a walkable small-business corridor with storefronts of mixed ages, and new or changing tenants often need locks added to storerooms, rear doors, or office doors. Newer townhomes and small apartment buildings around town add another type of work: installing and keying locks for a new development, sometimes with a simple master key for the property manager. Whether the address is in ZIP code 91780 near Temple City Park or Live Oak Park, or along Rosemead Blvd, Baldwin Ave, Lower Azusa Rd, or Temple City Blvd, we come to you.

For property managers, new locks and turnover rekeying often go hand in hand. When an older ranch home or apartment unit changes hands between tenants, we can install missing hardware and rekey the rest so previous keys no longer work. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour to arrange it.
