Installing a lock where none existed is a different job from swapping an old one. The door has to be bored and prepared correctly, the latch and strike have to line up, and the hardware has to suit the door and the way your household uses it. In View Park-Windsor Hills, that work often happens on a new side gate, a converted garage entry, a freshly added back door, or a replacement door installed during a remodel.

The homes here are not cookie-cutter. View Park has Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and other period-revival houses from the 1920s through the 1940s, and Windsor Hills adds many 1940s and 50s mid-century homes. Each type calls for a different approach: solid old wood that needs careful drilling, thin modern slab doors that need reinforcement, or a door where the finish matters as much as the function.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no shop to visit. We come to you at any hour with the tools to prepare the door and fit the lock on site, with David Shar leading the work.

How it works in View Park-Windsor Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and your needs

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door: material, thickness, whether it is new, and what you want it to do. Is it a front entry, a back door, or a gate? That helps us bring the right hardware.

  2. 2

    Assess the door on site

    We check the door's material, thickness, and frame, and confirm there is enough solid wood or metal for a proper installation. Original period doors get extra caution so we do not damage a detail you cannot replace.

  3. 3

    Choose the hardware

    We go over options such as a deadbolt, a handleset, a keypad, or a smart lock, matched to the door's style and your security goals. On a historic-looking home, we talk about finishes that fit the architecture.

  4. 4

    Prepare the door and fit the lock

    We mark, bore, and chisel the door for the latch and bolt, then install the strike and reinforce the frame where needed. Clean, accurate cuts keep the lock from binding and keep the door looking right.

  5. 5

    Test, key, and hand over

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, check the door closes and latches smoothly, and give you your keys or walk you through the smart-lock setup. Ask us anything about care before we leave.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen: a basic deadbolt, a decorative handleset, a keypad, or a smart lock all differ in hardware cost.
  • Door material and condition: solid wood, hollow-core, metal, and glass-paneled doors each take different prep.
  • Whether the door is new and unprepared, or needs extra boring, chiseling, or repair first.
  • Frame and strike reinforcement, which matters on older frames or where security is a priority.
  • The number of locks and whether they should be keyed alike for one-key convenience.
  • Time of day and location of the visit, since we are available around the clock.

Lock Installation across View Park-Windsor Hills

View Park-Windsor Hills sits on the hills above Slauson Avenue, with Crenshaw Boulevard, La Brea Avenue, and Overhill Drive tying it to the rest of the city. In View Park, the Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 12, 2016, includes about 1,752 homes, many with original 1930s doors and hardware. When a new door or opening is added here, we try to choose finishes and installation methods that sit comfortably with the home's character.

Windsor Hills brings a different mix, with 1940s-50s and mid-century homes where owners often want a stronger deadbolt or a smart lock on a front or back door. Hillside streets, including those off Angeles Vista Boulevard, can have unusual entries such as side doors, terrace doors, and garage connections that benefit from a properly fitted lock.

We serve homes across ZIP codes 90043, 90008, and 90056, from the streets near the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook to those closer to Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
