Most people think of key duplication as a trip to a hardware counter, a wait in line and a handful of copies that may or may not turn the lock. We work differently. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so the key machine comes to you in Camarillo, whether you are at a kitchen table in Mission Oaks, at the office, or at a unit in a business park off Daily Drive.

Copying a key on location has a real advantage: we can test each copy in the lock it is meant for before we leave. A key that looks right but binds in the cylinder is a common frustration with quick copies cut from a worn original. Because we are standing at your door, we can check the fit, smooth out a rough cut, and tell you honestly if the original is too worn to copy well and a fresh key made another way would serve you better.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. Key duplication covers more than standard house keys. We also handle office keys, mailbox keys and restricted keys, each with its own rules, and we will tell you plainly what can and cannot be copied and what authorization may be needed.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Tell us about the key

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe what you need copied: a house key, an office key, a mailbox key or a restricted key. Mention how many copies you want and whether the original still works smoothly. We are available 24/7, so there is no need to wait for business hours.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    Because we are fully mobile, there is no storefront to visit. A technician brings the cutting equipment and key blanks to your home, office or property in Camarillo, so you can stay put while the work gets done.

  3. 3

    Identify the keyway and check the original

    We look at the key and, where helpful, the lock itself to identify the keyway and choose the correct blank. We also examine the original for wear. A heavily worn key can produce a copy that sticks, and we will say so before cutting.

  4. 4

    Cut the copies

    The key is cut on location to match the original. For restricted keys, we confirm authorization first, since these systems are designed to prevent unapproved copies. Mailbox keys and standard office keys are handled according to the lock and the situation.

  5. 5

    Test every copy in the lock

    Before we finish, each new key is tried in the actual lock. We check that it enters easily, turns fully and withdraws without catching. If a copy is not smooth, we adjust or recut it rather than hand it to you and hope.

What affects the price

  • The type of key: a basic house key is a different job than a high-security, restricted or specialty key with a more complex blank.
  • The number of copies requested, since each additional key adds cutting and testing time.
  • The condition of the original key, because a worn original may need extra attention or a different approach to get a clean copy.
  • Whether the key is restricted or patented, which can involve authorization steps and specialty blanks.
  • The time of day, as after-hours and overnight visits are handled differently than daytime appointments.
  • Your location within Camarillo and the surrounding area, which affects the travel involved in a mobile visit.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the cutting equipment to you in Camarillo instead of asking you to drive to a counter.
  • Every copy is tested in the real lock before we leave, so you are not discovering a sticky key later at the door.
  • Honest advice on worn originals. If a key is too far gone to copy well, we will say so and explain the alternatives.
  • Clear handling of restricted keys. We explain authorization requirements up front rather than cutting something we should not.
  • Experience since 1987 under owner David Shar, covering house, office and mailbox keys across Ventura County and Greater Los Angeles.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a spare key is needed right after a lockout or a lost key scare.

Key Duplication across Camarillo

Camarillo is a city of varied housing, and that shapes the key work we see. Across Mission Oaks and the central part of the city, many suburban tract homes date from the 1960s through the 2000s, and families often want spare keys for kids, relatives, dog walkers or house cleaners. In ZIP code 93010, near Las Posas Road and Daily Drive, a handful of fresh copies tested at the door is a simple way to get everyone set up.

Leisure Village, the large 55+ community, is a good example of how standardized hardware plays out. When many homes share similar locks, residents often keep a spare with a neighbor or family member, and a clean duplicate is a practical safeguard against lockouts. We can cut and test copies at the door so there is no need to drive anywhere. In Spanish Hills, where newer and partly gated homes are common, and in the older semi-rural hillside houses of Camarillo Heights, we match keys to whatever hardware the property has, including older locks that may be more worn.

On the business side, Camarillo has retail around the Camarillo Premium Outlets, business and light-industrial parks, and the Camarillo Airport. Offices and shops often need extra employee keys or copies of a mailbox key, and ZIP codes 93012 and 93011 cover many of those commercial and residential areas. In Old Town Camarillo, historic storefronts and period hardware, like what you might expect near the 1892 Camarillo Ranch House, can call for a careful look at the key before we cut. Whether you are near US-101, Lewis Road or Pleasant Valley Road, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Key Duplication in Camarillo — FAQs

Do you really come to me in Camarillo to copy keys?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile and has no storefront, so we bring the key cutting equipment to your home, office or property. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what you need.
Can you duplicate keys at night or on weekends?
We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Because after-hours visits are handled differently than daytime ones, ask about that when you call.
Can you copy a key marked Do Not Duplicate?
That marking is not always a legal barrier, but it often signals a restricted or controlled system. We will talk through what is involved and confirm authorization where required. Restricted keys follow specific rules, and we will explain them honestly.
What if my original key is badly worn?
A worn original can produce a copy that sticks or fails to turn. We will inspect it first and tell you if a clean copy is unlikely. In that case, other options may serve you better, and we will walk you through them.
Can you copy mailbox and office keys?
Yes, we handle house, office and mailbox keys. Some office and mailbox systems are restricted, so we may need to confirm authorization first. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of lock it is.
Will the copies be tested before you leave?
Yes. Each key is tried in the lock it is meant for, so we can check it enters, turns fully and withdraws smoothly. If it does not, we adjust or recut it.
Do you handle keys for Leisure Village homes?
Yes. We serve Leisure Village and the rest of Camarillo, and can cut spare keys at the door for residents. Duplicate keys are a practical way to reduce lockouts in a community with standardized hardware.
How do I find out what a duplication will cost?
Price depends on the key type, the number of copies, the condition of the original, any authorization steps for restricted keys, the time of day and your location. Call (323) 997-8867, describe the job, and we will explain what applies.
