Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so that a new key operates it and every old key becomes useless. The lock itself stays on the door. That makes it one of the most sensible things to do after buying a house, ending a lease, losing a key ring, or parting ways with a contractor, housekeeper, or former roommate. In Agoura Hills, where so many homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s, rekeying is often the quickest way to regain control of who can get in without replacing hardware that still works.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. Our locksmith drives to you with the pinning kits, key-cutting equipment, and spare hardware needed to do the job on site, day or night. Whether you are off Kanan Road with a tired deadbolt or out in Old Agoura with a barn full of padlocks, the work happens where the locks are.

Rekeying is also a good moment to look honestly at the hardware. Some locks rekey easily and are worth keeping. Others are worn, corroded, or poorly made, and we will tell you plainly when replacement makes more sense. You decide, and we explain the tradeoffs without pressure.

How it works in Agoura Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us about your locks

    When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask how many locks are involved, what types they are (deadbolts, knobs, padlocks, gate locks, mailbox locks), and why you want them rekeyed. That helps us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, we travel to your property in Agoura Hills. We confirm the locks and the scope of work with you before we begin.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before rekeying, we check that each lock turns smoothly and the cylinder is in good shape. Sun and heat can leave deadbolts sticky or seized, and we flag any lock that will not hold up to rekeying.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove the cylinder, replace the internal pins to match a new key, and reassemble it. Old keys no longer work. Where you want it, we can key several locks to one key so you carry fewer keys.

  5. 5

    Test and cut keys

    We test every lock with the new key from both sides of the door, check the bolt throw and strike alignment, and cut the number of copies you need.

  6. 6

    Review options before we leave

    If a lock is worn or you want better security, we explain upgrade choices. Nothing is replaced without your approval.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks and cylinders being rekeyed in a single visit.
  • The type of lock: standard deadbolts and knobs differ from high-security cylinders, padlocks, and gate or mailbox locks.
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or separate keys for different doors or areas.
  • The condition of the hardware, since seized or corroded locks may need repair or replacement instead.
  • How many key copies you need.
  • The time of day, since we are available 24/7 including nights and weekends, and how far we travel to reach the property.

Lock Rekeying across Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills is a mix of housing types, and each calls for a slightly different rekeying approach. Many homes in Morrison Ranch and the tract neighborhoods off Kanan Road date from the 1970s and 1980s. Their original deadbolts have seen decades of Southern California sun, and a deadbolt that seizes in the heat is a common reason a simple rekey turns into a rekey plus a hardware upgrade. If you have just bought in 91301, rekeying every exterior door is a practical first step so previous owners, agents, and contractors no longer hold working keys.

In Old Agoura, the equestrian pocket tucked below Ladyface Mountain, properties often have more than a front door. Barn padlocks, tack room locks, side doors, and a driveway gate that has taken years of weather all need attention. We can rekey or replace these so one key system covers the property, which is easier than juggling a ring of mismatched keys. Gated ranch homes and hillside custom houses toward Malibu Canyon can also be brought onto a consistent key plan.

Around Lake Lindero, townhomes and condos bring their own needs. HOAs and property managers sometimes need common-area doors and cluster mailbox locks rekeyed after a board change or a lost key, and we can coordinate with residents so access stays organized. In ZIP 91376 and along Agoura Road and Kanan Road, aluminum-storefront businesses near Whizin's Market Square can also have their door cylinders rekeyed after staffing changes. From US-101 to Chumash Park and the Reyes Adobe area, we travel to wherever the lock is.

Lock Rekeying in Agoura Hills — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and changing locks?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key works and old keys do not, while the lock stays on the door. Changing locks means installing new hardware. Rekeying is often more economical when the existing lock is in good condition.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Agoura Hills?
Yes, it is a smart step. You cannot know who has copies of the existing keys. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can rekey all exterior locks so only your new keys work.
Can you rekey locks on a barn or horse property?
Yes. We work on barn padlocks, tack room locks, and driveway gate locks, which is common in Old Agoura. If a weathered lock cannot be rekeyed reliably, we will explain replacement options.
Can all my locks use the same key?
In most cases yes. We can key compatible locks alike so one key opens your front door, back door, garage entry, and more. Some specialty locks may have limits, which we will tell you about.
My deadbolt seized in the heat. Can it still be rekeyed?
Sometimes, but a seized deadbolt is often worn out. We inspect it first, and if it is not reliable we recommend replacement. Call (323) 997-8867 for help, including after hours.
Do you handle HOA common-area and mailbox locks?
Yes. We can rekey common-area doors and cluster mailbox locks for communities like those around Lake Lindero. Let us know how many locks are involved and who needs keys.
Do old keys stop working right away?
Yes. Once a cylinder is rekeyed, the old keys no longer turn it. We test the new key on every lock before we finish.
Is there a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile and come to you in Agoura Hills at any hour. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
