Locks don't last forever. In a city where so much of the housing went up in the 1950s and 60s, it's common to find original knobsets, tired deadbolts and cylinders that grind, stick or no longer hold a key cleanly. Sometimes the right fix is a rekey, but when hardware is worn, damaged, broken into, or simply too basic for the way you live now, replacement is the better answer.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around being fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. We come to West Covina with the hardware and tools to assess your door and install the new lock on site, any hour of the day or night.

This page explains how replacement works, what changes the cost, and what is specific to West Covina: tract homes near Azusa Ave, view homes in the South Hills, apartment complexes, and the retail and medical areas around Plaza West Covina and Eastland Center. If you would rather talk it through, call (323) 997-8867.

How it works in West Covina

  1. 1

    Tell us what is wrong and what you want

    When you call, describe the door, the current lock and why you want it changed: a break-in, a lost key set, a sticking deadbolt, a move-in, or a desire for better security. We will ask a few practical questions so we arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, we travel to your home, apartment or business in West Covina. Nothing needs to be dropped off or brought to a shop, since we do not have one.

  3. 3

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    We check the door thickness, bore holes, strike plate, frame condition and how the lock sits. Worn or misaligned doors are a common reason locks fail, so we point out anything that would undermine a new lock.

  4. 4

    Choose the right replacement hardware

    We go over options such as standard deadbolts, higher-security cylinders, keypad or smart-ready locks, and keyed-alike sets so one key can work several doors. You decide what fits your needs and comfort level.

  5. 5

    Install, align and test

    We remove the old lock, fit the new hardware, reinforce the strike where appropriate, and test the bolt and key action repeatedly so it throws smoothly. You get all keys cut for the new lock and a walkthrough of how it operates.

What affects the price

  • The type and grade of lock you choose, from basic knobsets and deadbolts to high-security or smart-capable hardware
  • The number of locks being replaced, and whether you want them keyed alike to a single key
  • Door and frame condition, including whether the strike plate, bore or door edge needs reinforcement or repair
  • Finish and style requirements, such as matching existing hardware on a view home or an HOA-sensitive property
  • Whether the work is a scheduled visit or an urgent, after-hours call after a break-in or lockout
  • Commercial needs such as storefront cylinders, panic hardware compatibility or multiple doors on one site

Why West Covina chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your door, so you never need to travel anywhere with a broken lock
  • 24/7 availability, which matters when a break-in or a damaged door cannot wait until morning
  • In business since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar
  • We tell you honestly when a rekey would solve your problem instead of selling a full replacement
  • Experience across both residential and commercial doors, from older tract homes to retail and medical-area storefronts
  • We test every installation and make sure the door and strike work with the new lock, not just the lock itself

Lock Replacement across West Covina

West Covina is a large suburban city with a mix of door types, and lock replacement here varies by neighborhood. Across much of the city, post-war single-family tract homes from the 1950s and 60s often still carry aging hardware, and homeowners near Azusa Ave, Vincent Ave and Glendora Ave frequently call to upgrade tired knobsets and single-cylinder deadbolts. In 91790 and 91791, that usually means a straightforward swap with a stronger deadbolt and a reinforced strike plate.

In the South Hills, between the I-10 and SR-60 freeways, hillside and view homes, some in gated settings, often call for higher-end hardware. Owners there tend to care about finish, matching entry sets and better key control, so we spend time on style and security grade together. Woodside Village and the surrounding residential streets see a similar mix of upgrades after a move or a break-in.

Apartment complexes along Azusa Ave and Amar Rd generate steady turnover work, where managers replace or rekey locks between tenants. Around Plaza West Covina, Eastland Center and the Eastland and Plaza commercial district (including ZIP 91790 and 91792), we handle storefront cylinders and commercial door hardware too, along with offices near Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital. Whether you are in 91793 near Sunset Ave or Francisquito Ave, or elsewhere in the city, we come to you.

Lock Replacement in West Covina — FAQs

Do you offer lock replacement in West Covina at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your West Covina home or business after hours. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through your situation.
Should I replace my lock or just rekey it?
If the lock works well and is in good condition, rekeying changes which key operates it at a lower cost than new hardware. Replacement makes sense when the lock is worn, damaged, outdated or not secure enough. We will tell you honestly which fits.
Can you replace locks on older tract homes?
Yes. Many West Covina homes from the 1950s and 60s have original doors and hardware. We check the bore, door edge and strike plate and fit a modern lock that works properly with your existing door.
Do you work on South Hills view homes with higher-end hardware?
Yes. For South Hills homes, including gated ones, we can discuss higher-security cylinders and finishes that match your existing entry hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what you have.
Can all my doors be keyed to one key?
Usually, yes. We can install a keyed-alike set so a single key works your front, back and side doors. Compatibility depends on the brand and type of locks you choose.
Do you handle apartment turnover and property managers?
Yes. We work with managers and owners of apartment complexes near Azusa Ave and Amar Rd on lock replacement and rekeying between tenants. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss multiple units.
Can you replace commercial locks at shopping centers?
We handle storefront cylinders and commercial door hardware for businesses around Plaza West Covina, Eastland Center and the surrounding commercial district. Scope depends on your door and hardware.
Do I need to visit your shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We bring the work to your door anywhere in West Covina.
