Installing a lock where none existed is a different job from replacing one. A new door, a converted garage, a freshly built guest house, a side gate, or a storage room all start with a bare slab. Someone has to choose the right hardware, drill accurately, set the strike so the door closes cleanly, and make sure the result suits how you actually use the opening. In Woodland Hills that range is wide, from 1950s ranch homes on the flats to custom estates in the hills and busy storefronts along Ventura Blvd.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and our team bring that experience to every installation. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We come to the door, look at the material, the frame, the swing, and the way it is used, and recommend hardware that fits instead of a one-size-fits-all deadbolt.

The work might be a single keyed deadbolt on a new side door, matching keyed-alike locks across a remodeled home, a smart lock on a hillside entry, or commercial-grade hardware on a new suite. We explain the options plainly, install them cleanly, and test everything before we leave. You can call any hour, day or night, at (323) 997-8867.

How it works in Woodland Hills

  1. 1

    Talk through the opening

    When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask what the door is made of, whether it is interior or exterior, who uses it, and whether you want keys, a keypad, or a smart lock. Photos help us arrive with the right parts.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door and frame

    On site we check door thickness, material, the condition of the jamb, and clearances. A new lock is only as strong as the wood or metal around it, so we flag a weak frame before drilling.

  3. 3

    Choose the hardware together

    We go over grades of deadbolts, handlesets, smart locks, and keyed-alike options. We tell you what the door actually needs and do not push features you will not use.

  4. 4

    Drill, fit, and align

    We cut the bore and edge holes with proper templates, mount the lock, and set the strike plate so the bolt throws fully without binding. Reinforcing the strike and jamb is offered where it makes sense.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We cycle the lock repeatedly, check it with the door closed in different weather conditions, and walk you through keys, codes, or app setup. Any extra keys you need are cut or provided on site.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic keyed deadbolt, a high-security cylinder, a smart lock, and commercial panic or mortise hardware all differ widely in cost.
  • Door material and condition, since solid wood, hollow-core, metal, and glass doors need different prep and sometimes added reinforcement.
  • How many locks are involved and whether they must be keyed alike or tied into an existing key system.
  • Whether the opening needs modification, such as a new bore, a repaired or reinforced jamb, or a replaced strike.
  • Integration with gates, intercoms, or building access systems, which adds setup and compatibility work.
  • Time of service, as after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled daytime installations.

Lock Installation across Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills is a patchwork of lock needs. On the flats, many 1950s and 60s ranch homes and mid-century moderns have had doors added or converted over the decades, such as a garage turned office or a new side entry to a backyard. In neighborhoods like Walnut Acres, a fresh deadbolt matched to existing keys is a common request. ZIP code 91364 covers much of this area.

South of the Boulevard and up toward Vista de Oro, the Santa Monica Mountains foothills hold custom and gated estates. New owners often want high-security cylinders, smart locks, and integration with driveway gates on guest houses, pool gates, and studios. These installations call for careful planning, and we can coordinate hardware so the whole property works together. Homes near Mulholland Dr and in 91367 and 91365 often have several outbuildings that benefit from keyed-alike systems.

Warner Center and the Ventura Blvd corridor bring commercial and multifamily work. High-rise units rely on fob access managed by building staff, so we coordinate with management when adding unit-level locks. Along Ventura Blvd, new tenant suites near Westfield Topanga & The Village and Serrania Park need storefront mortise locks and panic hardware that meet the building's needs. Summer heat can warp doors in older storefronts, so we check alignment before installing. Wherever you are, from Topanga Canyon Blvd to De Soto Ave, we come to you.
