Locks do not last forever. In Westlake Village, many homes were built in the 1970s and 80s as part of master-planned communities, and plenty of the original deadbolts, knobs and latches are still on the doors. After decades of use, keys turn stiffly, cylinders stick, finishes wear through, and nobody is sure how many copies of the key are out there. Replacing the lock is often the cleanest fix, and it is a very different job from simply rekeying.

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 bring the tools and hardware options to your door, look at what is actually installed, and help you decide whether a replacement makes sense or whether a repair or rekey would do the job for less.

Lock replacement here covers a wide range of situations: a front door deadbolt that has gone loose, a lakefront entry with a corroded finish, a smart lock that needs to be swapped after a failed battery or a dead motor, a gate latch that no longer catches, or a set of office locks that should change hands after a tenant moves out. Whatever the door, the goal is the same: hardware that fits properly, works smoothly and is keyed so you control who has access.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night. Tell us what door or gate is involved, what the lock is doing, and whether the problem is wear, damage, a lost key or a change in who should have access. That helps us arrive with sensible hardware options.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and existing hardware

    We look at the lock, strike plate, latch and the door itself. Sometimes the lock is fine and the real problem is a misaligned door or a worn strike. We tell you honestly if a repair or rekey would solve it instead of a full replacement.

  3. 3

    Choose the right replacement

    We go over grades of hardware, finishes, and whether you want a standard keyed deadbolt, a keypad or a smart lock. For coastal-feeling, humid or lake-adjacent homes, we talk about finishes that stand up better to moisture and air exposure.

  4. 4

    Remove the old lock and install the new one

    We take out the old hardware, check the bore and edge for damage, and install the new lock so the bolt throws fully and the latch seats cleanly. If the door prep needs minor correction, we handle it during the job.

  5. 5

    Key it and test it

    We key the new lock as you need, whether that is a single key for the whole house or matched sets for several doors. We test every key and the full operation with the door open and closed before we pack up.

  6. 6

    Walk through use and hand over keys

    For smart or keypad locks, we show you how to set codes, replace batteries and use any manual override. You get all keys, and we explain how to keep track of them going forward.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock chosen: a basic keyed deadbolt, a higher-security grade, a keypad or a smart lock all sit at very different points.
  • How many locks are being replaced and whether they are to be keyed alike so one key works on several doors.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since a damaged bore, loose strike or warped door may need extra work to install the new lock properly.
  • Specialty hardware such as multipoint locks, lakefront entry sets or commercial-grade cylinders, which differ from standard residential parts.
  • Whether you need service outside normal hours, such as late at night or on a weekend or holiday.
  • Finish and style choices, including matching existing hardware across a home or building.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: we work at your door, so the hardware is fitted to the actual door instead of guessed at from a description.
  • Honest recommendations: if a rekey or a small repair will solve the problem, we say so rather than selling a full replacement.
  • Experience across residential, HOA and commercial doors, from townhome mailbox locks to office-park cylinders and lakefront entries.
  • Comfortable with smart locks and keypad systems as well as traditional hardware, including swapping out units that have failed.
  • Available 24/7, so a broken lock after a break-in or a snapped key is not left waiting until morning.
  • Clear keying plans, so you know exactly how many keys exist and who can open what.

Lock Replacement 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 neighboring Thousand Oaks. We work across the city, from the First Neighborhood to Three Springs and out to Westlake Island, and we get around using US-101, Westlake Blvd (SR-23), Lindero Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks Blvd and Agoura Road.

The housing here shapes the work. On Westlake Island, lakefront homes with private docks and gates face humidity and lake air that can corrode finishes and wear down electronics. A typical call might involve a front multipoint lock that has gotten stiff, a gate that needs attention and a smart lock that quit when its battery died. In the First Neighborhood and Three Springs, we often see original 1970s and 80s hardware alongside newer custom homes and gated estates with intercom and smart lock setups.

Near The Promenade and The Shoppes at Westlake Village, townhomes and condos with HOA-managed common locks and mailbox locks sometimes need replacing or rekeying together. Office parks and aluminum-storefront retail around the business district call for a different approach, especially after a tenant turnover when locks and access control should be updated. Whether it is a home near Westlake Lake or a suite off Agoura Road, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Replacement in Westlake Village — FAQs

What is the difference between lock replacement and rekeying?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while keeping the same lock body. Replacement installs entirely new hardware. If your lock is worn, damaged, outdated or you want a different style or a smart lock, replacement makes sense. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can advise on which fits your door.
Can you replace a lock in the middle of the night in Westlake Village?
Yes. We are a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. We come to your home or business with hardware options, though available stock on the truck can vary, and we will tell you what is possible on the spot.
Do you replace smart locks and keypad locks?
Yes. Many Westlake Village homes use smart locks, and we can replace units that have failed, are outdated or have stopped responding after a battery problem. We also install new keypad and smart models and show you how to set codes and use the manual override.
Will lake air affect my locks on Westlake Island?
Moisture and lake air can speed up corrosion on finishes and affect moving parts and electronics. If your lakefront locks feel stiff or look pitted, replacement with hardware in a suitable finish can help. We can look at the current locks and recommend options.
Can you replace locks on an HOA townhome or condo?
Yes, including common-area locks and mailbox locks, as long as the work is authorized by the HOA or property manager. We can also key them so the right people have access. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss the scope before we come out.
Can you handle office locks after a tenant moves out?
Yes. For offices in the business district, we can replace or rekey locks, update keying so former tenants' keys no longer work, and address access control as needed. Having a clear key plan after turnover helps avoid surprises later.
How is the price of a lock replacement determined?
It depends on the lock type, number of locks, the condition of the door and frame, any specialty hardware and whether the service is after hours. We explain the options at your door so you can choose what fits your needs.
Do I need to be there for the replacement?
We generally need someone present or authorized to confirm the work and receive the keys. For a business or HOA, a property manager can authorize it. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will explain what we need.
