Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of a lock so that a new key operates it and every previous key becomes useless. The lock, the knob, and the deadbolt all stay on your door. For most Burbank homeowners that makes it the sensible response after buying a house, ending a tenancy, parting ways with a roommate, or losing a set of keys. You get the security of a fresh start without paying to replace hardware that still works.

Burbank has a wide mix of buildings, and that matters for rekeying. Many 1920s to 1940s Spanish and California bungalows still carry their original mortise hardware, while 1950s ranch tracts typically have more standard cylinder locks. Horse properties in the Rancho District rely on padlocks and gate hardware, and Media District offices run on commercial cylinders and sometimes master-key systems. Each calls for a different approach, and we bring tools and parts for all of them.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. Owner and lead technician David Shar and our team come to you, day or night, so you can handle a key problem the moment it comes up rather than waiting for business hours.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you have: how many doors, what kind of locks, and why you are rekeying. A recent home purchase, a tenant move-out, and crew turnover at an office each shape the plan slightly. We are available 24/7.

  2. 2

    We come to your Burbank property

    Because we are fully mobile, the work happens at your door. We bring key-cutting tools, pinning kits, and spare hardware in case a lock turns out to be too worn to rekey reliably.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before anything is taken apart, we check how each lock operates. Older mortise sets, worn deadbolts, and corroded padlocks can show problems that change the recommendation. If a lock is better replaced than rekeyed, we say so and explain why.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove each cylinder, replace the internal pins to match a new key, and reinstall it. Where you want it, we can rekey several locks to one key so a single key opens the front, back, and side doors.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over new keys

    We test every lock with the new key and confirm the old key no longer works. You receive your new keys and we can cut extra copies on the spot. If you want to upgrade a deadbolt or add one, we can do that during the same visit.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since each one is taken apart and repinned individually.
  • Lock type and brand. Standard deadbolts and knobs differ from vintage mortise cylinders, high-security cylinders, and padlocks.
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike, or a master-key arrangement for an office with different access levels.
  • The condition of the hardware. Worn or corroded locks may need partial or full replacement instead of rekeying.
  • How many extra keys you need, and whether any require restricted or high-security blanks.
  • Time of day and location. After-hours calls may be priced differently than daytime appointments, and we explain this up front.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile 24/7 service, so you can rekey right after a late closing or a late-night key loss.
  • Operating since 1987, which means plenty of hands-on experience with older hardware, including mortise locks found in vintage bungalows.
  • We rekey rather than replace whenever the lock is sound, which keeps your original hardware and your costs down.
  • We handle residential, equestrian property, and commercial work, from tack-room padlocks to office master-key systems.
  • We tell you honestly when a lock should be replaced instead of rekeyed, and we do not push upgrades you do not need.
  • No storefront overhead or counter visit. The technician who comes to your door does the work on site.

Lock Rekeying across Burbank

In Magnolia Park, many homes date to the 1920s through the 1940s and still have original mortise hardware, sometimes even skeleton-key locks. A common request in ZIP code 91505 is rekeying those vintage mortise locks while adding a modern Grade-1 deadbolt in a way that does not alter the original door. We can often keep the character of the door intact while giving you keys nobody else holds. Homes near Magnolia Boulevard's antique row often have this kind of period detail.

The Rancho District is Burbank's equestrian neighborhood, with gated horse properties, barns, stables, and tack rooms. Outdoor hardware takes a beating there, and corroded padlocks and worn driveway gate locks are common. We can replace or rekey those so a former ranch hand, boarder, or previous owner no longer has access. Properties in 91504 and 91501 vary widely, so we look at each gate and outbuilding individually.

In the Media District, offices and aluminum-storefront commercial strips sit close to Warner Bros. Studios, Walt Disney Studios, and the Hollywood Way and Olive Avenue corridors. Production offices frequently see crew turnover, which makes an access rekey and a clear master-key plan worthwhile. Whether you are off San Fernando Boulevard, Victory Boulevard, or near the I-5 and SR-134, we come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Burbank — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and changing locks?
Rekeying changes the inside of the existing lock so a new key works and old keys do not. Changing locks means replacing the hardware itself. Rekeying is usually less expensive and keeps your current look. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can advise which fits.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Burbank?
Yes, it is a smart first step. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist, including those held by previous owners, tenants, contractors, or neighbors. Rekeying makes all of them useless.
Can you rekey the old mortise locks in my Magnolia Park bungalow?
Often yes. Many vintage mortise cylinders can be rekeyed, and we can add a modern deadbolt without altering the original door. If a lock is too worn, we will tell you before doing anything.
Do you rekey padlocks and gate locks for horse properties?
Yes. For Rancho District properties we can rekey or replace padlocks and driveway gate locks, especially ones weathered or corroded by outdoor exposure. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what you have.
Can all my locks use the same key?
In most cases, yes. We can rekey compatible locks so one key opens your front door, back door, and other entries. Some specialty or high-security locks may have limits.
Can you set up master keys for a Media District office?
Yes. We can design a master-key system with different access levels and rekey locks after staff or crew turnover. We will go over the layout with you before starting.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we come to your location whenever you need us.
Do I need to be home during the rekey?
Someone authorized should be present so we can confirm access and hand over the new keys. For commercial sites, a manager or property contact usually fills that role.
