Westlake Village has a lot of homes where a smart lock makes sense: lakefront houses on Westlake Island, gated estates in Three Springs, and the master-planned neighborhoods built in the 1970s and 80s around First Neighborhood. Many of these properties already have gate and intercom systems, so a keypad or app-based deadbolt often needs to fit into a setup that is already in place. That is where a careful installation matters more than the box the lock came in.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has watched keyless entry go from a novelty to an everyday request. We are a mobile-only locksmith. There is no storefront to visit; we come to you, evaluate the door, install the lock, and walk you through setting up codes, app access and backup keys.

We also handle the less glamorous side of smart locks: a unit that stopped responding after the batteries died, a keypad that has gone sticky in humid lake air, or a lock that will not pair after a phone upgrade. If a smart lock is giving you trouble, or you want a new one put in properly, we can help at any hour.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Talk through the door and your goals

    We start by learning what you want: keypad only, app control, shared guest codes, or a lock that works with a system you already own. We ask about the door type, the current lock, and who needs access, so the recommendation fits your household or business.

  2. 2

    Check the door, bore and strike

    A smart lock is only as dependable as the door it sits on. On site, we check door thickness, backset, bore size, alignment, and the condition of the strike and frame. A door that has shifted or swollen will make even a good lock bind, so we correct that first.

  3. 3

    Install the lock hardware

    We remove the old hardware and mount the new lock so the bolt throws smoothly and the keypad or housing sits solid. Where the door is a multipoint or a heavier entry door, as on some lakefront and custom homes, we confirm the lock is compatible before drilling anything.

  4. 4

    Set up codes, app and backup access

    We program user codes, pair the lock with your phone or home system when applicable, and set the batteries correctly. We make sure there is a physical key or other backup method, so a dead battery never leaves you outside.

  5. 5

    Test and walk you through it

    Before we leave, we cycle the lock repeatedly from inside and outside, test each code, and confirm the door latches properly. We show you how to change codes, replace batteries, and what to do if something stops responding.

What affects the price

  • The lock itself: basic keypad deadbolts, app-connected locks and higher-security models differ widely in cost, and you may supply your own or have us recommend one.
  • Door and hardware condition: a door that needs boring adjustments, a new strike, or frame correction takes more work than a clean swap.
  • Door type: standard deadbolt doors, multipoint entry systems, and gates each need different hardware and time.
  • Number of locks: outfitting one front door is a different job than matching several doors, a garage entry, and a side gate.
  • Integration needs: connecting to an existing smart home hub, intercom or access system adds setup and testing.
  • Time of service: because we are available 24/7, after-hours or urgent calls can be priced differently from scheduled daytime work.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: we come to your door with tools and common hardware, with no shop visit needed.
  • Lock expertise first, gadgets second: we judge the door and mechanical lock quality, not just the app features.
  • Experience with multipoint and gated setups common to lakefront and estate homes in the area.
  • We always set up a backup method of entry, so a dead battery or lost phone is an inconvenience rather than a lockout.
  • Honest guidance: if a smart lock is a poor fit for a particular door, we will tell you and suggest an alternative.
  • Available 24/7, including for troubleshooting a lock that failed at an inconvenient hour.

Smart Lock Installation across Westlake Village

Westlake Village sits at the Ventura County line, with ZIP codes 91361, 91362 and 91359 shared with neighboring Thousand Oaks. We work across all of it, from the lakefront homes of Westlake Island, with their private docks and gates, to the gated estates and newer custom homes in Three Springs and the established streets of First Neighborhood.

Lake air is a real factor here. On Westlake Island, moisture and salt-free but persistent humidity can wear on exterior keypads, finishes and battery contacts. A lakefront home might need its gate, a multipoint front lock and a smart lock all looked at together, especially after a battery failure or corrosion. We check the contacts, hardware finish and mechanical action, not just the electronics.

Beyond single-family homes, we see condos and townhomes near The Promenade where HOA-managed common locks and mailbox locks need attention, and office parks and aluminum-storefront retail near Westlake Blvd, Lindero Canyon Road and US-101 where access control changes after tenant turnover. Whether you are near Westlake Lake or just off Agoura Road, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Smart Lock Installation in Westlake Village — FAQs

Do you install smart locks at homes on Westlake Island?
Yes. We work on lakefront homes, including those with gates and multipoint front locks. We check the hardware for moisture-related wear and make sure the new lock suits the door. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your setup.
Can a smart lock work with my existing gate or intercom system?
Often it can operate alongside one, though a lock and a gate system are usually separate. We review what you have and explain what will and will not connect before we install anything.
What happens if the batteries die?
Well-installed smart locks give you a backup, such as a physical key or an external power option, depending on the model. We set this up and show you how to replace batteries. If you are already locked out, call (323) 997-8867.
Will humid lake air damage a keypad lock?
Humidity can affect finishes, contacts and batteries over time. Choosing a suitable lock, installing it squarely and checking it periodically helps. We can inspect an existing lock that has started to misbehave.
Can you fix a smart lock I already own?
In many cases, yes. We troubleshoot battery problems, pairing failures, misaligned bolts and sticking keypads. If the lock is beyond repair, we will explain replacement options.
Do you install smart locks for offices and HOAs?
We handle residential and commercial work, including office doors, shared entries and common-area locks. For multiple locks or rekeying alongside access updates, call (323) 997-8867 so we can plan the visit.
Do I need to come to a shop to choose a lock?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront. We discuss options by phone and bring suitable hardware to your door, or install a lock you have already purchased.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7 for installation questions and troubleshooting. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
