Copying a key sounds like a five-minute errand until you live in Calabasas. Many homes sit behind guard gates, hillside driveways run long and steep, and the nearest hardware counter may be a drive away along Las Virgenes Road or Calabasas Road. Our key duplication service is fully mobile, so the cutting machine and key blanks come to your door instead of you going to a shop. We have no storefront, and that is by design.

Calabasas households tend to carry more keys than average. A single family may have a front door key, a side gate key, a mailbox key, a garage or casita key, a safe key and a few keys for the HOA or the property manager. Duplicating all of those in one visit, and checking that each copy turns smoothly in its lock, saves repeated trips and avoids the frustration of a copy that almost works.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar, the owner and lead technician, built the business around showing up prepared. Whether you need spares for a new household member, backups before a trip, or copies for a rental or listing, we can handle ordinary keys and many restricted ones on location, any day or night.

How it works in Calabasas

  1. 1

    Call and describe the keys

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you have: standard house keys, a mailbox key, an office key, or something stamped with a restricted or do-not-duplicate marking. Tell us how many copies you want and where in Calabasas you are, including whether we need to clear a gatehouse.

  2. 2

    Arrival and gate coordination

    We are mobile and available around the clock. If you are in a guard-gated community such as The Oaks or Calabasas Hills, we will need you to put us on the guest list or notify the gatehouse so we can drive in without delay.

  3. 3

    Identify the keyway and key type

    We examine each original to confirm the keyway, the blank it needs and its condition. A worn original is a common cause of poor copies, so we point it out early and may suggest cutting from a code or a fresh key instead.

  4. 4

    Cut the copies on location

    We cut duplicates using equipment carried in the vehicle, then deburr each key so it does not snag or scratch the lock. Restricted keys are handled according to their system, which can include verifying that you are authorized to have them copied.

  5. 5

    Test in the actual lock

    A copy is only useful if it works. We try each new key in its lock, whether that is a deadbolt, a mailbox, a gate lock or a padlock, and adjust or recut if it feels rough.

  6. 6

    Hand-off and advice

    We return your originals along with the copies and can suggest how to label, store or distribute them. If a lock is worn or you want more key control, we can discuss rekeying as a next step.

What affects the price

  • The type of key: a basic house key differs from a high-security, dimple, tubular or restricted key that needs special blanks or authorization.
  • The number of copies and the number of different keys cut in a single visit.
  • Whether the original is worn, which can call for extra time, a different cutting approach or a fresh key made from the lock itself.
  • Time of day and urgency, since we serve around the clock and after-hours calls involve different scheduling than a planned daytime visit.
  • Travel across hillside and canyon routes and any gate-clearing logistics, which depend on where in Calabasas the job is.
  • Whether the job is combined with other work, such as rekeying, gate lock service or safe servicing, in the same visit.

Why Calabasas chooses us

  • Fully mobile: the cutting equipment comes to your driveway, office or gatehouse, with no shop trip required.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar standing behind the work.
  • Every copy is tested in the real lock before we leave, not just compared to the original by eye.
  • Comfortable with gated-community logistics, including coordinating entry through a gatehouse or HOA contact.
  • Able to talk through restricted key systems honestly, including what can and cannot be copied without authorization.
  • Available 24/7, so a missing spare on a weekend night does not have to wait for store hours.

Key Duplication across Calabasas

Calabasas is a mix of guarded enclaves, hillside estates and everyday commercial corridors, and key duplication looks different in each. In The Oaks, a guard-gated neighborhood, residents often want extra keys cut at home so they do not have to leave and re-enter through the gatehouse. In Calabasas Hills and Mulwood, Mediterranean and Tuscan tract homes commonly have a front deadbolt, interior locks, side gate locks and sometimes smart lock hardware that still has a mechanical key backup worth copying. Many homes in ZIP code 91302 fit this pattern.

Newer construction around the city often uses European multipoint locks, which rely on specialized keys that are not always stocked at a typical counter. Older 1970s and 1980s tracts tend to have standard locks that are simple to duplicate but may have well-worn keys. Hillside custom estates can add driveway gate locks, floor safes and several outbuilding locks, so a single visit may involve a whole ring of different keys. A realtor with a gated-community listing may also need copies cut for a lockbox arranged through the HOA gatehouse.

We work throughout the city, from Old Town Calabasas along Calabasas Road and the area around Calabasas Lake to the shops and offices near The Commons at Calabasas and Parkway Calabasas. Aluminum-storefront and office doors in retail areas often use keys that need careful matching. Whether you are just off US-101, up Mulholland Highway, or on Old Topanga Canyon Road, call (323) 997-8867 and we will plan the route and any gate access with you.

Key Duplication in Calabasas — FAQs

Can you duplicate keys at my home in Calabasas?
Yes. We are fully mobile, so we cut copies at your home, office or other location. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it, any day or night.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. Everything is done on location with equipment we bring to you.
Can you copy a key marked Do Not Duplicate?
That marking is often a request rather than a physical barrier, but we do not copy keys where doing so would be improper. If you are the authorized owner, we can discuss options. Call (323) 997-8867 with the key details.
Can you work in a guard-gated community like The Oaks?
Yes. We need to be cleared at the gatehouse, so notify the guard or add us to your guest list before we arrive. Let us know any HOA entry requirements when you call.
Can you copy keys for European multipoint locks?
Often yes, depending on the lock brand and key type. Some of these keys use specialized blanks or require code information. Tell us the lock make if you know it, or we can identify it on arrival.
What if my original key is worn out?
Copying a worn key can pass along its wear, so the copy may stick or fail. We may recommend cutting from the lock's code or making a fresh key instead. We test every key in the lock to confirm it works.
Can you copy mailbox and office keys too?
Yes. We cut mailbox, office, cabinet and padlock keys as well as house keys. Some mailbox keys are controlled by the postal service or property manager, so we will tell you what is possible.
Can you also rekey or service gate locks and safes during the same visit?
Yes, we can combine key duplication with rekeying, driveway gate lock service or safe servicing when needed. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe what you have so we can come prepared.
