A deadbolt is the one part of a door that does most of the work of keeping it shut. In Westlake Village, where many homes were built during the master-planned growth of the 1970s and 1980s, we often find original hardware that has been worn by decades of use, or doors that rely on a spring latch alone. Adding a properly fitted deadbolt, or swapping a tired one for a better one, is among the most practical security upgrades a household can make.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and our technicians bring that experience to every install. We are fully mobile, so we come to you with hardware and tools in the van, whether you are in a townhome near The Promenade, a gated estate, or a lakefront house on Westlake Island. There is no shop to visit.

We install single-cylinder deadbolts, which are keyed outside and turn by hand inside, and double-cylinder deadbolts, which need a key on both sides. Each suits different doors and different households, and we will explain the tradeoffs honestly, including safety and egress, so you choose what fits your situation rather than what is easiest to sell.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night. Tell us the door type, whether it already has a deadbolt, and what you want: a new addition, a replacement, or a matched-key set. Photos of the door edge and existing hardware help us arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    Assess the door and frame

    On site we check the door thickness, material, bore holes, and the strike area of the frame. A strong deadbolt is only as good as what it screws into, so we look for cracked jambs, loose hinges, and thin strike plates before we start.

  3. 3

    Choose the right deadbolt

    We go over single versus double cylinder, finish, grade, and whether you want keyed alike hardware with your other locks. If you use a smart lock or have an HOA with finish or key rules, we factor that in.

  4. 4

    Install and align

    We fit the new bolt, drill or adjust the bore if needed, and set the strike plate so the bolt throws fully into the frame. Longer screws are used where they add real strength to the jamb.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We cycle the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, confirm smooth throw, and hand you your keys. We also show you how it operates so everyone in the household is comfortable with it.

What affects the price

  • Whether you are adding a brand-new deadbolt, which may require drilling, or replacing an existing one that already fits the door
  • Single- versus double-cylinder hardware and the security grade and brand of the lock you choose
  • Door material and condition, such as solid wood, metal, or a door with decorative glass that affects which style is appropriate
  • Frame or strike reinforcement needed to make the installation actually resist force
  • The number of doors, and whether you want all locks keyed alike or rekeyed to match
  • Time of day and travel to your location, since we are mobile and available around the clock

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so installation happens at your door with no trip to a shop
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar standing behind the work
  • Honest guidance on single versus double cylinder, including the fire-safety and egress considerations of keying both sides
  • We check the jamb and strike, not just the lock, because that is where many installs fail
  • Familiarity with local housing, from 1970s-80s master-planned homes to HOA townhomes and custom builds
  • Compatible with households already using smart locks and gate or intercom systems, so a new deadbolt works alongside them

Deadbolt Installation across Westlake Village

Westlake Village sits at the Los Angeles and Ventura County line, and its ZIP codes, including 91361, 91362, and 91359, are shared with Thousand Oaks. We work across the city, from the First Neighborhood to the lakefront homes of Westlake Island and the hillside streets of Three Springs, reaching you via US-101, Lindero Canyon Road, or Westlake Blvd (SR-23).

The housing here varies, and so does what a deadbolt needs to do. On Westlake Island, lake air can corrode exterior hardware over time, so material and finish matter, and many homes pair gates and smart locks with traditional locks. Gated estates and newer custom homes often have heavier doors that call for longer bolts and solid strike reinforcement. Condos and townhomes near The Promenade usually have HOA rules about exterior hardware, so we help match finish and keying to the community.

If you manage a small office or retail space near Agoura Rd or Thousand Oaks Blvd, we can also add deadbolts to back doors and storage rooms. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need us. We are available 24/7, even for a late-evening install after a move-in.

Deadbolt Installation in Westlake Village — FAQs

Can you install a deadbolt on a door that does not have one?
Usually yes. We check the door thickness and edge, drill the required holes, and fit the bolt and strike. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door so we can bring suitable hardware.
Should I choose a single- or double-cylinder deadbolt?
Single-cylinder is easier to use and is the common choice for most entry doors. Double-cylinder needs a key inside too, which can help near glass panels but may slow exit in an emergency. We will talk through your door and household.
Do you install deadbolts at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 any time to arrange installation.
Will a new deadbolt work with my smart lock?
Often it can, as many homes use a smart lock alongside a mechanical deadbolt. We check the door and existing hardware so the two do not conflict.
Do I need to reinforce my door frame too?
It is often worth it. A deadbolt only resists force if the strike and jamb are solid, so we inspect them and can add a stronger strike plate and longer screws.
Can you key the new deadbolt to match my other locks?
In many cases yes. We can supply keyed-alike hardware or rekey existing locks so one key operates your doors.
Can you work within my HOA's hardware rules?
Yes. Many Westlake Village condos and townhomes have finish or keying requirements for exteriors. Tell us the rules when you call and we will choose compliant hardware.
Do I have to come to a store?
No. We are fully mobile with no storefront. We bring hardware to your door in Westlake Village. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
