A new lock is more than a piece of hardware bolted to a door. In Westlake Village the doors vary a great deal: solid-core entries on 1970s and 80s master-planned homes, tall custom doors on gated estates, side gates by the lake, aluminum storefront doors in office parks, and shared doors in HOA-managed townhome communities. Each one calls for a different lockset, a different prep, and a different idea of who should hold a key.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work as owner and lead technician. We are 24/7 and fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and hardware to the property, look at the door in front of us, and install the lock that suits it, rather than selling you something off a shelf that may not fit.

Installation is the right call when you have added a door, converted a space such as a guest house, home office or storage room, or want a door secured that never had a lock. It is also how we set up a new deadbolt, a keypad or smart lock, or a gate latch from scratch. If you are unsure whether you need a new installation, a rekey or a replacement, describe what you have and we will say honestly which one fits.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and the goal

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the door is, what it is made of, and what you want the lock to do. A bedroom office door, a lakefront gate and an office suite each need a different approach, and a few questions up front keep us from arriving with the wrong hardware.

  2. 2

    Assess the opening on site

    We come to you and look at the door, frame, strike area and surrounding finish. We check thickness, material, door swing and whether there is clearance for the lock body and bolt. On aluminum storefronts and narrow-stile doors we pay special attention to what the profile will actually accept.

  3. 3

    Choose the right lock for the job

    We go over options such as deadbolts, handlesets, keypad or smart locks, and gate hardware. Near Westlake Lake we talk about finishes and materials that stand up better to moist air. For shared or HOA doors we discuss keying so access matches who needs it.

  4. 4

    Prepare the door and install

    We mark and drill the door cleanly, set the latch and bolt, and install the strike and reinforcement where appropriate. The goal is a tidy installation with the bolt throwing freely into a properly secured frame, not a lock that merely sits on the door.

  5. 5

    Test, key and walk you through it

    We operate the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, check alignment, and confirm every key works. For smart or keypad models we help set up codes and explain battery care. You leave knowing how everything works and who holds which key.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen, from a basic deadbolt to a keypad, smart lock or multipoint system, is the largest driver of cost.
  • Door material and condition matter: solid wood, steel, fiberglass and aluminum storefront doors each take different prep work and tooling.
  • Whether the door is already bored for a lock or needs fresh drilling, and whether the frame needs reinforcement, changes the labor involved.
  • The number of locks and doors in one visit, such as a whole office suite or a set of townhome doors, affects how the job is scoped.
  • Keying requirements, like keyed-alike sets or a master key arrangement for shared properties, add planning and hardware.
  • Time and location of the visit, including after-hours calls, can influence the quote. We explain the factors before work begins.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile and 24/7, so installation comes to your Westlake Village door at a time that works for you, not the other way around.
  • In business since 1987 with the owner, David Shar, leading the work, which means experience on older master-planned homes as well as newer custom builds.
  • We match hardware to the door and the setting, including lake-air exposure, gates and storefront profiles, instead of pushing one product everywhere.
  • We handle residential, HOA and commercial installs, so a homeowner, property manager or office tenant can use one contact.
  • Clear explanation of options and cost factors before we start, with no pressure to buy more than the door needs.
  • We test and demonstrate every lock before we leave, including smart and keypad setups, so you are not left guessing.

Lock Installation across Westlake Village

Westlake Village packs a lot of different property types into a small area. In the First Neighborhood, many homes date to the master-planned era of the 1970s and 80s, and owners often add deadbolts to side doors, garages and converted rooms that were never locked originally. Out on Westlake Island, lakefront homes with private docks and gates raise a different set of questions, from dock-side door hardware to gate latches that face constant lake air. In Three Springs, newer custom homes and gated estates often lean toward smart locks and integrated entry, where clean installation and proper setup matter.

Commercial and shared properties are part of the picture too. Corporate office parks and aluminum-storefront retail around The Promenade and The Shoppes at Westlake Village need installs that suit narrow stiles and glass doors, while condos and townhomes with HOA-managed common locks need keying that makes sense for residents and management. We serve addresses across ZIP codes 91361, 91362 and 91359, which are shared with Thousand Oaks, so tell us the street and nearest cross road when you call.

Getting around is straightforward from US-101, Westlake Blvd (SR-23), Lindero Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks Blvd and Agoura Road, and we are available around the clock. Whether you are near Westlake Lake, close to the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, or tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac, call (323) 997-8867 and we will plan the installation with you.

Lock Installation in Westlake Village — FAQs

What does lock installation cover?
It means fitting a new lock where there was none, such as on a new door, a converted room or a gate. It differs from replacing an existing lock or rekeying one. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will confirm which service fits your situation.
Do you install locks on Westlake Island lakefront homes?
Yes. We install and set up entry locks, gate hardware and smart locks on lakefront properties. We talk through finish and material choices because moist lake air can be hard on exposed hardware.
Can you install smart or keypad locks?
Yes. We install them, help set up codes, and explain battery care and backup access. Many Westlake Village homes already use smart locks and gate or intercom systems, so we can discuss how a new lock fits alongside them.
Can you install locks for an office or retail space?
Yes. We work on office park suites and aluminum-storefront doors, and we check what the door profile will accept before recommending hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your doors and how many need locks.
We are an HOA near The Promenade. Can you handle multiple doors?
Yes. We can install locks on common-area doors and plan keying so access matches who needs it, such as residents, management and maintenance. Grouping several doors into one visit helps keep the job organized.
Do I need to be home during installation?
Someone authorized should be present, at least at the start and the end, so we can confirm the door and location and then show you the finished lock and keys. We will agree on the arrangement when you call.
How is the price determined?
Cost depends on the lock type, door material, how much prep the door needs, the number of locks, keying needs and the time of the visit. We explain these before work starts so there are no surprises.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes, we are 24/7 and fully mobile. If you need a new door secured after hours, call (323) 997-8867 and we will work out the best plan.
