Getting a spare key cut in Beverly Hills usually means more than a trip to a hardware counter. Many homes here have a mix of hardware: a vintage mortise lock on a front door, a high-security deadbolt on a side entrance, a mailbox key, a gate or pedestrian-entry key, and sometimes a restricted keyway that a regular shop cannot legally or technically copy. We bring the cutting equipment to you, so the copies are made where you can test them in your own locks before we leave.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. You tell us what keys you have and where you are, and we handle the rest at your door, whether that is a home in The Flats, a hillside property off Benedict Canyon Drive, or an office in the Golden Triangle.

A good duplicate is not just a shape that fits the lock. A copy cut from a worn original can inherit the wear and then stick, bind or fail within months. We look at the condition of your original, check how it turns in the lock, and cut carefully so the new key works smoothly. If the original is too worn to copy well, we will tell you and talk through the better option, such as originating a fresh key from the lock itself or rekeying.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need copied

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the keys: house, office, mailbox, a gate or a restricted key. Tell us the property type and how many copies you want. If a key is stamped with a do-not-duplicate marking, mention it, because that changes how we proceed.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile and available around the clock, we drive to your Beverly Hills address with our key-cutting equipment and a range of blanks. Nothing needs to be dropped off or mailed, and you never have to hand your keys to a stranger at a counter.

  3. 3

    Inspect the original key and lock

    We examine the original for wear, bends and damage and check how it operates the lock. A tired original gives a poor copy, so this step helps us decide whether duplication is the right approach or whether the lock needs attention first.

  4. 4

    Cut and finish the copies

    We match the correct blank to your keyway, cut the copies, and deburr them so they slide in cleanly. For restricted or patent-protected keyways, we follow the authorization rules for that system and may need to verify your right to a copy.

  5. 5

    Test in the actual lock

    Every copy is tried in the lock it was made for, including deadbolts, mortise cylinders and mailbox locks. If a copy catches or turns stiffly, we adjust or recut it before we consider the job finished.

  6. 6

    Advice on spares and security

    We can suggest sensible spare-key habits, like who should hold a copy and when it makes sense to rekey instead of just duplicating, especially after contractors, staff changes or a move.

What affects the price

  • The type of key: a standard house key is a simpler job than a high-security, dimple, or restricted-keyway key that needs special blanks and equipment.
  • Whether the key is restricted or patent-protected, which can require authorization steps and proprietary blanks.
  • The number of copies and how many different locks or keys are being duplicated in one visit.
  • The condition of the original key, since a badly worn original may call for originating a new key from the lock instead of a straight copy.
  • The time of day you call, as after-hours and overnight visits are handled differently from daytime appointments.
  • Your location within the service area and the access involved, such as a gated hillside property.

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the cutting equipment to your door, so keys are copied and tested on-site rather than dropped off somewhere.
  • Experience since 1987 with older hardware, including original mortise locks found in 1920s and 1930s period-revival homes.
  • Comfort with restricted keys: we work within the manufacturer's authorization rules instead of cutting corners on protected keyways.
  • We test every copy in the real lock and are honest when a worn original makes duplication a poor choice.
  • Available 24/7, so a missing spare, a house-sitter handoff or an office key request is not tied to store hours.
  • Owner-led operation under David Shar, with a focus on careful, tidy work in high-end homes and businesses.

Key Duplication across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills has a wide range of properties, and the keys that go with them vary just as much. In The Flats, many 1920s and 1930s Spanish, Tudor and Georgian homes still carry original mortise hardware that owners prefer to preserve. Duplicating keys for those locks takes patience, because older keys and cylinders can be worn or unusual, and we aim to keep the original hardware working rather than replace it. Up in Trousdale Estates, mid-century modern homes often combine modern deadbolts with keypad or intercom gates, so a spare-key visit can easily include a conversation about access for family, staff and vendors.

Further along Benedict Canyon Drive and in the BHPO area, gated hillside estates may have multiple entries, outbuildings and mailbox or gate keys that all need copies. In the Golden Triangle, near Rodeo Drive and Canon Drive, boutiques and offices often use aluminum storefront doors with mortise cylinders, and shop owners need extra keys for managers without closing for the day. We serve addresses across ZIP codes 90210, 90211 and 90212, from the streets off Sunset Boulevard to those near Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard.

Whether you are near Greystone Mansion, Will Rogers Memorial Park or The Beverly Hills Hotel, our service is the same: we come to you, copy what you need, and test it on location. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour to arrange a visit.

Key Duplication in Beverly Hills — FAQs

Can you duplicate keys at my Beverly Hills home or office?
Yes. We are fully mobile and bring key-cutting equipment to your address, so copies are made on location. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what you need.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only, with no storefront. We come to wherever you are in Beverly Hills, including homes, offices and retail spaces.
Can you copy a key stamped Do Not Duplicate?
That stamp is not always a legal barrier, but we take it seriously. Many such keys are tied to a restricted system and need authorization. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will explain what is possible for your key.
Can you copy restricted or high-security keys?
Often yes, depending on the keyway and manufacturer rules. These systems may require proof of authorization and special blanks, so we confirm details before cutting.
Can you duplicate keys for an old mortise lock in The Flats?
In many cases, yes. We work with older mortise hardware and aim to preserve original locks. If the key is badly worn, we may suggest originating a fresh key from the cylinder.
Do you copy mailbox keys?
Yes. We can cut copies for many residential and building mailbox locks. Bring the original or have it ready when we arrive. For scheduling, call (323) 997-8867.
Is it better to duplicate keys or rekey the locks?
If you only need extra keys and know who holds the existing ones, duplication is fine. If keys have been lost or given to people who no longer need access, rekeying is the safer move. We can do either.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we operate 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will arrange a visit to your Beverly Hills location.
