Locks wear out quietly. A deadbolt that sticks in the cold morning, a key that has to be jiggled, a knob that spins loose in your hand: these are the usual signs that replacement makes more sense than another repair. In Woodland Hills, where the flats are full of 1950s and 60s ranch homes and mid-century moderns, a lot of the original hardware has been through several decades of use and a few owners who each kept a copy of the key.

Replacement is also a security decision, not just a maintenance one. After a purchase, a breakup, a roommate moving out, a lost set of keys, or an attempted break-in, a new lock is often the cleanest way to know exactly who can get in. We can replace a single deadbolt, change every exterior door on a house, or match a whole property to one key.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit. We bring the work to your door, whether that is a ranch home near Serrania Park, a condo in Warner Center, or a storefront on Ventura Boulevard.

How it works in Woodland Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door and the problem

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe what is going on: a worn deadbolt, a damaged cylinder after a break-in attempt, outdated hardware, or a lock you simply do not trust anymore. Tell us the type of door and whether it is a house, condo, or business, so we can plan what to bring.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door, frame, and existing hardware

    On site, we look at more than the lock itself. Doors can warp, strike plates can loosen, and bores can be damaged. Summer heat in the Valley can pull a door out of alignment, and a new lock will not work well on a door that does not close true. We tell you what we find before we start.

  3. 3

    Choose the right replacement hardware

    We go over options with you: standard deadbolts, higher-security cylinders, smart locks, or commercial hardware such as storefront mortise locks and panic bars. We explain the tradeoffs plainly and help you pick something that fits the door and how you actually live or operate.

  4. 4

    Install and align the new lock

    We remove the old hardware and install the new lock, then check the latch, bolt throw, and strike plate so everything engages smoothly. Where a door or frame needs minor adjustment for the lock to work correctly, we address it as part of the job.

  5. 5

    Key it the way you need

    New locks can be keyed to match each other so one key works across your doors, or kept separate for different users. We make sure you have working keys and that you understand how any electronic or smart features operate before we leave.

  6. 6

    Test everything before we go

    We operate each lock several times from both sides, with the door open and closed, and confirm you are comfortable with it. If the job involves a gate, fob system, or building access, we confirm what is coordinated and what still needs to be handled with management.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a basic deadbolt, a high-security cylinder, a smart lock, and commercial panic or mortise hardware are very different products and installations.
  • How many doors are involved, and whether you want them keyed alike or each on its own key.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since warped doors, damaged bores, or loose strike plates may need extra work for the new lock to function.
  • Whether the job is a straightforward swap or involves integration with a gate, smart-home system, or building fob and access control.
  • Residential versus commercial requirements, including code-related hardware such as panic bars on business doors.
  • The time and location of the call, since we operate around the clock and come to you.

Why Woodland Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we bring the hardware and tools to your door, so there is no shop to drive to and no need to leave a door unsecured.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar leading the work.
  • Available 24/7, so a broken lock after a break-in attempt does not have to wait until morning.
  • Comfortable across Woodland Hills housing, from ranch homes and mid-century moderns in the flats to gated hillside estates and Warner Center high-rises.
  • We look at the whole door, frame, and strike, not just the lock, because new hardware only helps if the door closes properly.
  • Straight advice on what to replace and what can stay, rather than pushing the most expensive option.

Lock Replacement across Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills covers a lot of different lock situations. In the flats, around neighborhoods like Walnut Acres and Vista de Oro, many homes date to the 1950s and 60s, and original knobs and builder-grade deadbolts are common. Replacing them with solid, properly keyed hardware is one of the most practical security upgrades a homeowner can make, especially after buying a house where previous keys are unaccounted for. We serve addresses across 91364, 91367, and 91365.

South of the Boulevard, where the Santa Monica Mountains foothills rise, custom homes and gated estates often call for more. A new owner may want high-security cylinders such as Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, a full rekey, and smart locks coordinated with a driveway gate. Those jobs reward careful planning, and we can walk the property with you and recommend a consistent setup across entry doors.

Near Warner Center, high-rise condos and apartments often use electronic fob or access control at the building level, with a separate deadbolt on each unit. We can replace and rekey the unit lock, but building access is coordinated with management. Along Ventura Boulevard, businesses near Topanga Canyon Boulevard and De Soto Avenue may need storefront mortise locks or panic bars replaced, sometimes on doors that heat has warped. Wherever you are, from Pierce College to Westfield Topanga, we come to you.

Lock Replacement in Woodland Hills — FAQs

Can you replace locks in Woodland Hills at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through the situation and schedule the work.
Should I replace my locks or just rekey them?
If the hardware is in good condition, rekeying changes who can open it at a lower scope of work. If the lock is worn, damaged, outdated, or you want better security or smart features, replacement makes more sense. We will tell you honestly which fits.
Do you install smart locks on hillside homes?
Yes. For homes south of Ventura Boulevard, we can install smart locks and discuss how they fit with your gate and existing setup. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what you have.
Can you key all my new locks to one key?
Yes. We can key exterior doors alike so one key works throughout, or keep certain doors on separate keys if you want different access for different people.
I live in a Warner Center high-rise. Can you replace my unit lock?
We can replace or rekey the deadbolt on your unit. Fob and building access systems are typically managed by the building, so we coordinate with management as needed rather than altering those on our own.
My business door was damaged in a break-in attempt. What can you do?
We can replace storefront mortise locks, panic bars, and damaged cylinders, and check whether the door or frame needs adjustment to close and latch securely. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We are mobile only and there is no storefront. We do the work at your home or business.
How is the price determined?
It depends on the type of lock, number of doors, the condition of the door and frame, any integration with gates or smart systems, and whether the job is residential or commercial. We explain what applies to your situation before the work begins.
