Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so that a new key operates it and every previous key becomes useless. The lock itself stays on the door. In Bell Gardens, where so many homes change hands or tenants, it is one of the most practical and economical security steps available. If you just bought a house, took over an apartment building, or let an employee or contractor go, you cannot know how many copies of the old key exist. Rekeying answers that question.

Bell Gardens has a distinctive housing mix. Many small single-family houses date to the 1930s and 40s, when families built on tight lots through the city's self-help homebuilding tradition. Alongside them are many stucco apartment buildings from the 1960s to the 1980s, plus commercial frontage along Garfield Ave and Florence Ave. Each of these has different keying needs, from a single front door to a multi-unit property with separate entrances for front and rear units.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being fully mobile. We have no storefront to visit. Our technicians bring the tools and key stock to you, work on site, and test every lock before leaving. If a lock turns out to be worn or damaged beyond a good rekey, we will tell you plainly and explain the options.

How it works in Bell Gardens

1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night. Tell us how many locks you have, what kind they are (deadbolts, knob locks, padlocks, gate locks), and why you want to rekey, such as a move, a tenant change or a lost key. This helps us bring the right parts.
2
We come to you
Because we are fully mobile, a technician travels to your Bell Gardens address with the tools and pinning kits needed. There is nothing to drop off and no shop to visit.
3
Inspect each lock
Before rekeying, we check that each cylinder operates smoothly, the latch and strike line up, and the lock is in good enough condition to hold a new key pattern. Sticky or worn locks are flagged before we start.
4
Rekey the cylinders
We remove each cylinder, replace the internal pins to match a new key, and reinstall it. Old keys no longer turn the lock. On request we can key several locks alike so one key opens the front door, the back door and a gate.
5
Test and hand over keys
We try the new keys in every lock, confirm the old ones fail, and give you your working keys. For multi-unit properties, we can label which key belongs to which door so your records stay clear.
6
Talk through next steps
If a door would benefit from a stronger deadbolt, a better strike plate or a security bar with a quick-release, we explain the option. There is no pressure to add anything you did not ask for.

What affects the price

The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since each one is taken apart and repinned.
Whether you want all locks keyed alike or each door on its own key, which is common for front and rear units on one lot.
The type and condition of the hardware, including whether a worn lock should be replaced rather than rekeyed.
Lock brand and keyway, since some high-security or restricted keyways need special parts or key blanks.
Additional work requested at the same visit, such as a new deadbolt, gate padlock or security bar hardware.
The time of day you call, as night, weekend and holiday service can be priced differently from a scheduled daytime visit.

Why Bell Gardens chooses us

Fully mobile service. We come to your door in Bell Gardens, so there is no store to find and no lock to carry anywhere.
Open 24/7, which suits businesses near the Bicycle Hotel & Casino that cannot wait for regular hours after a staffing change.
In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so you are dealing with experience rather than a call center.
We rekey whenever it is the right fix, and we say so when a lock should be replaced instead, rather than selling new hardware by default.
Comfortable with multi-family and small-lot properties, including separate keying for front and rear units on one parcel.
We test every lock and confirm old keys are dead before we leave, so you know the job is finished.

Lock Rekeying across Bell Gardens

Bell Gardens sits in southeast Los Angeles County, bounded by the Los Angeles River and crossed by I-710, Florence Ave, Eastern Ave and Gage Ave. In the 90201 and 90202 ZIP codes, we work on everything from small 1930s and 40s houses on tight lots to long-standing stucco apartment buildings. Older homes often carry original or mismatched locks, and a rekey is a quick way to get a clean slate on keys after you buy or inherit one.

Along the Garfield Avenue corridor, a common request is keying separate units on a multi-family lot. If a new tenant moves into a rear house, the owner may want the front and back units on different keys while keeping a master option for the property. Rekeying handles this without replacing every lock. Turnover in apartment buildings is steady, so many owners schedule a rekey between tenants as routine practice.

In the Bicycle Casino district, restaurants, hotel vendors and other businesses keep unusual hours, and a staffing change cannot always wait for morning. We can rekey doors and pair them with a high-security padlock where it fits. Near John Anson Ford Park and the Bell Gardens Civic Center, we also help residents who want a fresh deadbolt, or window security bars with a quick-release for safe emergency exit, after an attempted break-in. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
