Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so a different key operates it, while the lock itself stays on the door. Any key that worked before, whether held by a previous owner, a former tenant, a contractor, or a household employee, simply stops working. In Calabasas, where so many homes are bought, sold, and staffed through busy transitions, it is one of the most sensible security steps you can take.

Most people ask for it right after closing on a house, after a roommate or partner moves out, or after a change in the people who have had access to the property. Rekeying costs less than replacing every lock, and you keep the hardware you already chose and like. If the hardware is worn, damaged, or not up to the job, we will say so honestly and explain your options instead of pushing a full replacement.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile with no storefront, so everything happens at your door. That suits Calabasas well, because the work often involves gates, multipoint locks, and smart hardware that are best assessed on site.

How it works in Calabasas

  1. 1

    Tell us about the property

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe what you have: how many exterior doors, whether there is a driveway or pedestrian gate, a garage entry, a mailbox, or a safe. Mention any smart locks or alarm integration. This helps us arrive prepared for your situation.

  2. 2

    Coordinate access

    In guard-gated communities such as The Oaks or Calabasas Hills, we need to be cleared through the gatehouse. Let us know your community and any name or authorization the guard needs so we are not delayed at the entrance.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    We check every cylinder to confirm it can be rekeyed, and note the brand, condition, and keyway. Worn or damaged locks, and some multipoint systems, may need different handling, and we will tell you plainly before doing any work.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove the cylinders, replace the internal pins to match a new key, and reinstall them. We can key several locks alike so one key opens your front door, side door, and garage entry, or keep specific doors separate if you prefer.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We test each lock repeatedly with the new keys, confirm the old keys no longer work, and make sure doors latch and deadbolts throw smoothly. Then we hand over your keys and answer questions about extra copies and who should have them.

What affects the price

  • The number of cylinders to be rekeyed, including front doors, side doors, garage entries, and gates.
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or several separate key groups.
  • The type and condition of the hardware, such as standard deadbolts, high-security cylinders, or European multipoint systems.
  • Whether additional items need service, like a driveway gate lock, mailbox lock, or safe.
  • How many extra keys you need cut.
  • Timing and location, including after-hours or overnight requests, and the time needed to coordinate gate access.

Why Calabasas chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your home, so you never have to bring locks anywhere or visit a shop.
  • Available 24/7, which helps when a closing, a move-out, or a security concern cannot wait for business hours.
  • Serving Southern California since 1987, with the experience to handle everything from 1970s-80s tract hardware to newer multipoint locks.
  • Honest recommendations: if a lock should be replaced rather than rekeyed, we say so and explain why.
  • Comfortable working around guard-gated access, HOA procedures, and smart lock or alarm integrations common in Calabasas.
  • One conversation covers the whole job, from doors to gates to safes, so you are not coordinating several vendors.

Lock Rekeying across Calabasas

Calabasas has a mix of housing that makes rekeying a bit more involved than a simple door swap. In The Oaks, Calabasas Hills, and Mulwood, many Mediterranean and Tuscan-style homes have a front door lock, a garage entry, side gates, and sometimes smart locks tied to alarm or access systems. A thorough rekey in 91302 often means more cylinders than owners first expect, and we count them all up front.

Gated communities add a practical layer. A resident in The Oaks may be locked out when a smart lock fails, and a realtor may need a gated listing rekeyed with a lockbox arranged through the HOA gatehouse. We plan around the guard process, and when a smart lock misbehaves we can use a mechanical override and then reprogram once we are cleared through the gate.

Hillside custom estates raise different needs. After a change of household staff, an owner may want the driveway gate lock, a front multipoint lock, and a floor safe all serviced together so no one retains access. Whether you are near The Commons at Calabasas, Old Town on Calabasas Road, Calabasas Lake, or off Las Virgenes Road, we travel from the US-101 corridor to reach you, with no storefront involved.

Lock Rekeying in Calabasas — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key works and old keys do not, while keeping the same hardware. Replacing swaps the whole lock. Rekeying is usually less costly when the lock is in good condition.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Calabasas?
Yes, it is a smart habit. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist among prior owners, agents, contractors, and staff. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can rekey the locks so only your keys work.
Can you rekey locks in a guard-gated community like The Oaks?
Yes. We just need to be cleared through the gatehouse, so tell us the address and any name or authorization the guard requires when you call (323) 997-8867.
Can you rekey a multipoint lock?
Often the cylinder in a European multipoint system can be rekeyed, but it depends on the brand and condition. We inspect it on site and tell you honestly whether rekeying or other work makes sense.
Can you handle my driveway gate lock and safe too?
We can discuss servicing gate locks and safes alongside your door locks. Describe them when you call so we can plan the visit and bring appropriate tools.
Do I need a new key for every lock?
No. We can key all your locks alike so one key works everywhere, or set up separate keys for different doors, such as a guest house or a service entrance.
Will rekeying work with my smart lock?
Smart locks usually have a mechanical key cylinder that can be rekeyed, while the electronic side is managed through codes or apps. We can help with the mechanical part and discuss reprogramming where appropriate.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will work out the next step with you.
