Most people think of key duplication as a quick errand at a hardware counter. In Azusa, though, the keys are rarely all the same kind. A 1920s bungalow off Azusa Ave may have an old mortise lock and a skeleton-style key. A newer home in Rosedale may use modern hardware with smart-lock-ready components. A student rental near Azusa Pacific University may have keys that have been copied, lost and passed along many times. Crenshaw Lock Company brings the cutting equipment to you, so the copy is made where you can test it in the actual lock.

We are a fully mobile locksmith. There is no shop to drive to, and nobody to wait behind in line. David Shar and the Crenshaw team have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and that experience matters on the odd jobs: a worn key that no longer copies cleanly, a mailbox key with no markings, or a restricted key that a regular kiosk will refuse to touch.

Because we work on location, a copy is checked against the lock it is meant for. A duplicate that looks right but sticks in the cylinder is not much use at 11 p.m. when someone is locked out. We would rather catch a worn original, a damaged cylinder or a misaligned strike plate while we are standing at your door than have you find it later. And we are available around the clock, so you can reach us when the need turns up, not only during business hours.

How it works in Azusa

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need copied

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the key: a front-door key, an office key, a mailbox key, or something stamped as restricted. Tell us how many copies you want and whether the original is worn. This helps us bring the right blanks and tools.

  2. 2

    We come to your Azusa location

    Our technician travels to your home, workplace, rental or vehicle anywhere in the city, from downtown to the foothills. Since we are mobile only, everything happens at your door.

  3. 3

    Inspect the original and the lock

    Before cutting, we look at the original key and the lock it operates. A worn, bent or heavily duplicated key can produce a poor copy, so we check whether it should be copied as is or whether a rekey or a new cut by code is the better route.

  4. 4

    Cut and fit the copy

    We cut the new key on location and file it cleanly. Restricted keys are handled according to the authorization they require, which may mean confirming that you are entitled to have them copied.

  5. 5

    Test in the real lock

    We try each new key repeatedly in the lock, both turning and pulling out. If a copy binds or catches, we correct it on the spot. You leave with keys that actually work.

What affects the price

  • The type of key: a basic house key is a different job from a high-security, restricted or specialty key.
  • The number of copies requested and whether they are all cut during one visit.
  • The condition of the original, since a worn key may require extra work or a different approach.
  • Whether the key needs to be cut by code or made from the lock because no working original exists.
  • The time of day and the urgency of the request, as we are available 24/7 including nights and weekends.
  • Your location within Azusa and the surrounding area, and the travel involved for a mobile visit.

Why Azusa chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the cutting equipment to you rather than asking you to go to a store.
  • Keys tested in your actual lock before we leave, so you do not find a problem later.
  • Experience with older hardware, including the mortise locks found in some early-1900s buildings along Azusa Ave and Foothill Blvd.
  • Comfortable with newer systems too, like the smart-lock-ready hardware common in Rosedale.
  • Honest advice: if a rekey makes more sense than another copy of a heavily duplicated key, we will say so.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with a locksmith available at any hour.

Key Duplication across Azusa

Azusa is a layered city, and its keys reflect that. Downtown Azusa, centered on Azusa Ave and running toward Foothill Blvd, still has 1900s-1920s bungalows and brick commercial buildings, some with their original mortise locks. Duplicating a key for one of these takes a closer look than a standard pin-tumbler copy, and sometimes the better answer is repairing or upgrading the lock rather than cutting another key for it. If you are in ZIP code 91702, we can come to you for that kind of work.

Farther toward the foothills, Rosedale is a 2010s master-planned community built with newer hardware, and homeowners there often want extra keys for family members, house cleaners or dog walkers, or are thinking about adding a smart lock or multipoint door hardware. Mountain Cove, the gated community at the canyon mouth, has its own access needs, and a mobile visit saves a trip down the hill. Near Azusa Pacific University and Citrus College, student-rental housing brings frequent key requests at semester turnover, when landlords and roommates need extra copies or a rekey so that old keys no longer work.

Whether you are close to the I-210, along Foothill Blvd, off Alosta Ave or Gladstone St, or heading up SR-39 toward San Gabriel Canyon and Angeles National Forest, we are mobile and available 24/7. Commuters using the Metro A Line stations at Azusa Downtown or APU/Citrus College can also call us to meet at home or work after hours. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.

Key Duplication in Azusa — FAQs

Can you copy a key at my home in Azusa instead of me going to a store?
Yes. We are fully mobile, so we bring the key-cutting equipment to your home, office or vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you need copied.
Do you offer key duplication at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need a key cut.
Can you copy a key marked 'Do Not Duplicate'?
That marking is not always legally binding, but restricted keys are often tied to a controlled keyway. We may need to confirm that you are authorized to have it copied. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can explain what applies to your key.
Can you duplicate keys for older mortise locks in downtown Azusa?
Often, yes. Many bungalows and brick buildings near Azusa Ave and Foothill Blvd have older mortise hardware. We inspect the lock first, and sometimes repair or an upgrade is a better choice than another copy.
I am a landlord near APU. Can you make several copies and rekey at once?
Yes. At semester turnover, many landlords combine extra copies with a rekey so previous tenants' keys stop working. We can do both in one visit at the property.
Can you cut mailbox keys?
Yes, we cut mailbox keys on location. If you have no original, we may be able to make a key from the lock itself. Details depend on the lock type, so describe it when you call.
My original key is badly worn. Should I copy it?
Copying a worn key often produces a copy that works poorly. We examine it first and may suggest cutting a fresh key from the lock or rekeying instead.
What affects the price of key duplication?
Key type, number of copies, the condition of the original, whether a code cut is needed, urgency, and location. We do not quote numbers on this page, but we can discuss the factors that apply to your job.
