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 Beverly Hills, where many owners have invested in fine hardware, that matters. A 1920s Spanish Revival entry set or a solid mid-century deadbolt is often worth keeping, and a rekey lets you keep it while resetting who has access.

Most rekey calls follow a change in who holds keys: a home purchase, an estate sale, a divorce, a departed housekeeper, contractor, or property manager, or a set of keys that went missing during a renovation. Rekeying is also sensible when you simply do not know how many copies of a key exist, which is common in older homes that have changed hands several times.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We come to your property, whether that is a gated hillside home, a condo near Wilshire Blvd, or a boutique in the Golden Triangle, and we do the work on site.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the property

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us how many doors and locks are involved, the brands if you know them, and why you are rekeying. Older mortise sets, smart locks, and gate keypads each need slightly different preparation, so these details help us arrive with the right parts.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are and that you may authorize the work

    We ask for reasonable confirmation that you own or are authorized to manage the property. This protects you and your neighbors, and it is standard practice for a responsible locksmith.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    We check that each lock is in good working order before rekeying. A worn cylinder, a sticking latch, or a failing deadbolt is worth knowing about now. If a lock is not worth rekeying, we tell you plainly and explain the options.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove each cylinder, replace its pins to match a new key cut, and reassemble it. Where it makes sense, we can match several locks to one key so you carry a single key for the front door, side gate, and service entrance.

  5. 5

    Test every key and every door

    We operate each lock with the new key several times, confirm the old key no longer turns, and check that doors latch smoothly. Original mortise hardware is handled carefully so its finish and character are preserved.

  6. 6

    Hand over keys and discuss next steps

    You receive your new keys, and we can talk through related items such as keypad gate codes, smart lock credentials, or safe combinations, which should often be changed at the same time.

What affects the price

  • The number of cylinders being rekeyed, since each lock is serviced individually
  • The type of hardware, such as standard deadbolts, mortise cylinders, high-security cylinders, or smart locks
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or separate keys for different doors
  • The number of new keys you need cut
  • Time of day and urgency, since we are available around the clock and after-hours calls differ from scheduled visits
  • Add-on work discovered during inspection, such as repairing a worn mortise lock or reprogramming a gate keypad

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your door, so no one has to drop locks off anywhere
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician
  • Respect for vintage hardware: we favor rekeying original mortise sets over replacing them when the lock is sound
  • Familiarity with the Beverly Hills mix of period mansions, mid-century homes, gated estates, and condos
  • Available 24/7, including nights and weekends, without making promises about arrival times we cannot guarantee
  • Honest recommendations: if rekeying will not solve the problem, we say so rather than sell you something extra

Lock Rekeying across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills has an unusually wide range of lock situations. In The Flats, many homes date from the 1920s and 1930s, with Spanish, Tudor, and Georgian detailing and original mortise hardware that owners are proud of. Rekeying is often the right answer there: the handsome brass or iron set stays, and the key history resets. Homes in the 90210 and 90212 ZIP codes frequently change hands, so a rekey after closing is a practical first step.

In Trousdale Estates, mid-century modern homes often combine entry locks with residential safes and keypad or intercom driveway gates. A thorough rekey there can include changing the gate keypad code alongside the door cylinders, so a former tenant or contractor cannot simply walk in. Gated hillside properties in the BHPO and Benedict Canyon area, in 90210, have their own considerations, including multiple side doors, guest houses, and service entrances that all benefit from being keyed together.

Near Rodeo Drive and in the Golden Triangle, businesses and boutiques often use aluminum storefront doors with mortise cylinders, which we can rekey when staff turnover or lost keys raise a concern. Whether you are near Canon Dr, Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica Blvd, or up Coldwater Canyon Dr toward the hills in 90211 or 90210, we come to you at any hour.

Lock Rekeying in Beverly Hills — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and changing locks in Beverly Hills?
Rekeying alters the internal pins so a new key works and old keys do not, while keeping the same lock body. Replacing swaps the whole lock. If your hardware is sound or has period character, rekeying is usually the better fit. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss which suits your doors.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Beverly Hills?
Yes, it is a sensible first step. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist among previous owners, agents, contractors, and staff. Rekeying makes those keys useless. We can also address gate keypads and safes at the same visit.
Can you rekey original mortise locks on a vintage mansion?
Often, yes. Many original mortise cylinders can be rekeyed so the historic hardware stays in place. We inspect each one first and tell you honestly if a part is too worn to be worth rekeying.
Can you rekey a driveway gate or change the keypad code too?
We can discuss gate keypads and intercom systems as part of the visit, since a new door key does little good if an old gate code is still active. Details depend on the system, so describe it when you call (323) 997-8867.
Do you rekey smart locks?
Smart locks have both a physical cylinder and electronic credentials. We can rekey the cylinder, and we recommend also resetting user codes or app access so the whole lock is secured.
Can all my locks work with one key?
Usually, yes. We can key multiple locks alike so one key opens the front door, side doors, and gates. Some high-security cylinders have restrictions, which we will explain on site.
Do you come out at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, though we do not promise specific arrival times. Call us any time and we will work out the details with you.
How is rekeying priced?
It depends on the number of locks, the hardware type, how many keys you need, and when the work is done. We do not quote figures on this page, but we can explain the factors by phone or on site before any work begins.
