Woodland Hills covers a lot of ground: ranch homes on the flats, custom estates in the Santa Monica Mountains foothills, high-rises in Warner Center, and a busy commercial strip along Ventura Blvd. Each of those places has a different idea of what "secure" means, and a standard builder-grade deadbolt is rarely the right answer for any of them. High security locks are built to resist the common ways locks get defeated: picking, bumping, drilling and forced key duplication.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar and our team bring that experience to every installation. We are a fully mobile service with no storefront, which means the work happens at your door, where we can see the actual frame, strike, door thickness and surrounding hardware before recommending anything.

A high security lock is only as strong as the door it sits in. So we look at the whole entry point, not only the cylinder. That can mean pairing a restricted-keyway cylinder with a reinforced strike plate, discussing a longer screw set, or flagging a warped or weak door that will undermine the new hardware. We tell you plainly what will help and what is unnecessary.

How it works in Woodland Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through your situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. We ask about the property, who currently holds keys, whether you have had a break-in attempt, and whether the lock needs to work with a gate, smart lock or access system.

  2. 2

    Assess the door and hardware on site

    Because we are mobile, we inspect the door, frame, strike and existing lock at your property. We check for warping, thin framing, loose hinges and other weak points that a better cylinder alone would not fix.

  3. 3

    Choose the right level of protection

    We explain options such as pick-, bump- and drill-resistant cylinders, restricted keyways and key control. You decide how much protection fits the door, the risk and how you use the property.

  4. 4

    Install and fit precisely

    We install the lock, adjust the latch and strike for smooth operation, and reinforce the entry point where needed. The goal is a lock that is both strong and easy to live with every day.

  5. 5

    Cut keys and test everything

    We cut and test your keys, confirm the lock operates correctly from both sides, and walk you through how restricted keys are handled so duplicates are not casually made.

  6. 6

    Final walkthrough

    Before we leave, we check the finished door together and answer questions about maintenance, additional doors or future upgrades such as smart lock integration.

What affects the price

  • The grade and brand of the high security cylinder, and whether it uses a patented, restricted keyway.
  • The number of locks or doors involved, including side doors, garage entries, and gates.
  • Door and frame condition, since reinforcement or repair adds labor and materials.
  • Whether the lock must integrate with smart locks, gate operators or electronic access control.
  • The number of keys needed and any key control or authorization requirements.
  • The time of day and location of the visit, since we serve customers 24/7.

Why Woodland Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we assess your real door on site instead of selling from a catalog.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work and standing behind it.
  • We look at the door and frame, not just the cylinder, because weak surroundings defeat strong locks.
  • We recommend only what the situation justifies and say so when a simpler fix is enough.
  • We handle residential estates, high-rise units and storefronts, so we understand different hardware and access needs.
  • Available 24/7, including after a break-in attempt when you need hardware secured quickly.

High Security Locks across Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills has distinct security needs by area. In the hills south of Ventura Blvd and in pockets like Vista de Oro and Walnut Acres, custom and gated homes often call for high security rekeying, restricted keys, and coordination with driveway gates and smart locks, especially after a purchase when previous key holders are unknown. Properties in ZIP code 91364 and 91367 near the Santa Monica Mountains foothills often fit this profile.

In Warner Center, high-rise condos and apartments add another layer. Electronic fobs and building access control are managed by building staff, while the unit's own deadbolt is typically yours to upgrade. We work around building rules and can fit a high security deadbolt on the unit door. Residents in ZIP code 91367 near Westfield Topanga & The Village often ask about this combination.

Along Ventura Blvd, Topanga Canyon Blvd and Canoga Ave, businesses rely on storefront mortise locks and panic hardware. Summer heat can warp doors and make latches bind, and after a break-in attempt the hardware may be damaged. We can inspect, repair and upgrade these entries, and we reach properties from Serrania Park and Pierce College to the Victory Blvd and Vanowen St corridors using US-101 and local streets. ZIP code 91365 on the hillside side is also within our service area.

High Security Locks in Woodland Hills — FAQs

What makes a lock "high security"?
High security locks use design features that resist picking, bumping and drilling, and often use restricted keyways that prevent easy key duplication. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss which type suits your door.
Do you offer high security locks for Warner Center condos?
Yes. We can install a high security deadbolt on your unit door and work with building rules on fob or electronic access, which is usually managed by building management.
Can you integrate high security locks with a driveway gate or smart lock?
We can often coordinate high security hardware with gates and smart locks, which is common for hillside estates south of Ventura Blvd. Describe your setup when you call (323) 997-8867.
Will a high security lock help if my door is old or warped?
Only partly. A strong cylinder cannot compensate for a weak, warped or poorly fitted door. We inspect the door and frame and advise on repairs or reinforcement.
Can you help a business on Ventura Blvd after a break-in attempt?
Yes. We service storefront mortise locks and panic hardware, and can address damage or heat-related warping. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Are high security keys harder to copy?
Many systems use restricted keyways so duplicates are controlled, though specifics depend on the product chosen. We explain how key control works for your lock.
Do I need to visit a shop?
No. We are fully mobile with no storefront, so we come to your property in Woodland Hills.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the lock grade, number of doors, door condition, integration needs and key requirements. We explain the factors and options before work begins.
