Locks and homes in La Crescenta
La Crescenta and Montrose sit on the slope under the San Gabriels, so many streets climb steeply and many houses are older, from the 1920s to the 1950s, with a newer layer of rebuilds among them. Montrose's Honolulu Avenue is a small-town shopping street of its own.
Older foothill houses have older doors: some still carry their original mortise locks, the kind with a large lever key or a cylinder set into the door's edge, and parts for those are not found at a hardware store. We service them, rekey them where the cylinder allows, or convert the door to a modern deadbolt without leaving it scarred. The slope matters too: a house that has moved slightly on its footing takes its door frames with it, and a lock that binds is often a door that needs adjusting.
Getting to La Crescenta
About seventeen miles, so 25 to 40 minutes, over the 210 through Sunland and Tujunga. It is one of the quicker runs outside our valley.
Where we work in La Crescenta
La Crescenta above and below Foothill Boulevard, Montrose and Honolulu Avenue, the Briggs Terrace and Pinecrest streets, and Tujunga and Sunland next door. Not listed? Call, we cover the whole Crescenta Valley.
La Crescenta locksmith questions
My old front door has a mortise lock. Can you rekey it or do I need a new one?
Many can be rekeyed or repaired, since the cylinder is replaceable even when the body is old. If the body itself is worn out, we either rebuild it or convert the door to a modern lock and deadbolt, and we tell you which makes sense before starting.
Do you come to Tujunga and Sunland too?
Yes, the same van and the same arrival window. They sit right on the 210 on our way in.
Can you fix a lock that only sticks in winter?
Usually that is the door, not the lock: wood swells in the damp months and the bolt stops meeting the strike cleanly. We adjust the strike or the door so it works in every season.
