Rekeying is the quiet, sensible fix when you don't know who holds a copy of your keys. Maybe you just bought a home in Mission Oaks, a previous tenant never returned a key, or a contractor, ex-partner, or former employee once had access. Instead of replacing the hardware, we change the internal pin configuration of the lock cylinder so the old key no longer turns it, and a new key does. Your existing knobs, deadbolts, and handlesets stay on the door.

Camarillo has a wide mix of properties, and rekeying fits most of them well. Tract homes built from the 1960s through the 2000s often have perfectly good deadbolts that only need a new key code. Newer homes in Spanish Hills may have several entry points to bring onto one key. Older hillside houses in Camarillo Heights sometimes have mismatched locks installed over decades, and rekeying lets us bring them all to a single key.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. Our technician arrives with the tools, pins, and key-cutting equipment to do the work at your door, so you aren't shuttling locks around town. If a lock turns out to be worn or damaged beyond a good rekey, we'll tell you plainly and explain your options, including an upgrade or a smart deadbolt.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Call and describe the locks

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night. Tell us how many locks need attention, what brands you have if you know them, and why you're rekeying, whether it's a move, a lost key, or a tenant change. This helps us bring the right pinning kits.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to your Camarillo address with everything needed on the truck. We confirm the scope with you before any work begins, so you know what is being done.

  3. 3

    Inspect each cylinder

    We check that every lock operates smoothly and is a good candidate for rekeying. Worn cylinders, broken latches, or mismatched brands are noted so you can decide whether to rekey, repair, or replace.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove each cylinder, replace the pins to a new key pattern, and reassemble it. Where it makes sense, we match several locks to one key, so a front door, back door, and garage entry all work with the same key.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over new keys

    We test every lock with the new keys and confirm the old keys no longer work. You receive your new keys, and we can cut extra copies on the spot for family members or property managers.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since each one takes hands-on time
  • The brand and type of lock, as some deadbolts, handlesets, and high-security cylinders need different parts or procedures
  • How many keys you need cut and whether you want all locks matched to a single key
  • The time of day you call, since after-hours and emergency visits differ from scheduled daytime appointments
  • Whether any lock is worn or damaged and needs repair or replacement beyond a standard rekey
  • Your location within Camarillo and the surrounding area, which affects travel to the job

Lock Rekeying across Camarillo

Camarillo is a city of distinct pockets, and rekeying needs vary among them. In Mission Oaks and across the city core, many single-family tract homes date from the 1960s to the 2000s, and a post-purchase rekey, sometimes paired with a smart deadbolt, is a common request. In Spanish Hills, newer and partly gated homes often have several exterior doors to bring onto one key. We serve addresses in ZIP codes 93010, 93012, and 93011.

Leisure Village, the large 55+ community, has largely standardized hardware, which makes simple rekeys straightforward and efficient for residents who want to be sure of who holds a key. Up in Camarillo Heights, older semi-rural hillside houses may have a patchwork of locks, and consolidating them to one key can be a real convenience.

Old Town Camarillo's historic district, including period properties like the 1892 Camarillo Ranch House, has older hardware that deserves a careful hand. We also work with businesses near the Camarillo Premium Outlets, light-industrial parks, and the airport area, reachable from US-101, Las Posas Rd, Daily Dr, Carmen Dr, and Pleasant Valley Rd. Wherever you are in town, we come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Camarillo — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key works and old keys don't, while the lock hardware stays in place. Replacing swaps out the whole lock. Rekeying is usually the simpler option if your locks are in good condition. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk it through.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Camarillo?
It's a smart step. You can't know who has copies of the previous owner's keys, such as neighbors, contractors, or past tenants. Rekeying the exterior locks gives you control from day one, and we can do it at your home in Mission Oaks, Spanish Hills, or anywhere else in town.
Will my old keys stop working?
Yes. After rekeying, only the new keys operate the lock. We test each lock with the new key and confirm the old ones no longer turn it.
Can you make all my locks work with one key?
Usually, yes. If the locks are compatible, we can pin them to a single key pattern so your front door, back door, and other entries share one key. Some brands or high-security cylinders may be limited, and we'll tell you if so.
Do you offer rekeying at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need us.
Do I have to go to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. The technician comes to your home or business in Camarillo and does the work on-site.
Can you rekey locks at Leisure Village?
Yes. We help residents of Leisure Village with simple rekeys and lockouts. Because hardware there is often standardized, many rekeys are quick, though we'll check each lock when we arrive.
What if a lock can't be rekeyed?
Occasionally a lock is too worn, damaged, or unusual to rekey reliably. We'll explain the situation and offer options, such as repair or replacement with a new deadbolt or smart lock, before doing any extra work.
