Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so that it works with a new key and the old keys become useless. The hardware stays on the door. In Commerce that matters for two very different customers: the homeowner in a small post-war bungalow who just bought the place and has no idea who holds a copy of the key, and the operations manager at a distribution center who needs to cut off access after someone leaves the company.

Commerce is mostly industrial, so much of our rekey work here involves warehouse offices, dock doors, roll-up gates, and large tenants who run master-key systems. The residential pockets, such as Rosewood Park and Bandini, have their own pattern: older stucco homes from the 1940s and 50s with original deadbolts and knob-in-lockset hardware that has seen decades of use.

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 to visit. The work happens at your door, and you leave with working keys in hand.

How it works in Commerce

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night. Tell us whether it is a house, an office, or a warehouse, how many locks are involved, and why you want to rekey, such as a move, a lost key, or an employee departure.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Our technician travels to your Commerce address with the tools and key blanks needed. Because we are mobile only, everything is done on site, whether that is a bungalow in Rosewood Park or a dock office near the rail yard.

  3. 3

    We inspect each lock first

    Not every lock is a good candidate. We check that cylinders turn smoothly, that deadbolts throw fully, and that the hardware is not worn out. If an old lockset is failing, we tell you honestly and explain whether rekeying or replacing makes more sense.

  4. 4

    We rekey the cylinders

    We remove the cylinders, reset the internal pins to match a new key, and reinstall them. For commercial jobs this can include keying multiple locks alike, or building a master-key structure so different staff open different doors.

  5. 5

    We test and hand over the keys

    Every lock is tested with the new key, and we confirm the old key no longer operates it. You receive your new keys, and we can cut extra copies on request.

What affects the price

  • The number of cylinders being rekeyed, since each lock takes its own time and parts.
  • Whether the locks are standard residential deadbolts or higher-security and commercial cylinders, including high-security padlocks.
  • Whether you need a simple single-key setup or a master-key system with several levels of access.
  • The condition of the existing hardware, because worn or damaged locks may need replacement rather than rekeying.
  • The number of extra keys you want cut.
  • The time of day and location of the call, since we serve customers 24/7 and travel to you.

Why Commerce chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your door, so there is no shop trip and no leaving a property unsecured.
  • Operating since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, leading the work.
  • Experience with both small residential hardware and commercial setups, including roll-up door cylinders, panic hardware, and padlocked gates.
  • We tell you when a lock is too worn to rekey, rather than selling work you do not need.
  • Available around the clock, which matters when a termination or break-in means access must change right away.

Lock Rekeying across Commerce

Commerce sits at the junction of the I-5, I-710, and SR-60, and most of what you see is distribution centers, cold storage, and the BNSF Hobart intermodal yard. For those businesses, a rekey often follows a personnel change: an employee leaves, and every dock roll-up padlock, office door, and panic-hardware exit needs a new key plan. We also see aluminum-storefront businesses along Washington Blvd and Atlantic Blvd that want their locks rekeyed after a lease change or a lost key.

Residential Commerce is smaller but real. In Rosewood Park and Bandini, many homes are 1940s and 50s stucco bungalows with aging deadbolts and knob locksets. Rekeying after a purchase is a smart, affordable way to make sure previous owners, tenants, and contractors no longer have access, and we will let you know if an original lock has worn past the point of reliable use. We also work in Bristow Park and around the Citadel district, near the Citadel Outlets and Commerce Casino, where retail and hospitality tenants sometimes need keys reset.

We serve Commerce ZIP codes including 90040, 90022, 90023, and 90091. Whether you are near the Commerce Library, off Eastern Ave, or along Telegraph Rd, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Commerce — FAQs

What does lock rekeying mean?
Rekeying changes the pins inside a lock cylinder so it works with a new key. Old keys no longer operate it. The lock itself stays on the door, so it is often a good option when the hardware is still in good shape.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Rosewood Park or Bandini?
Yes, it is a sensible step. You cannot know who has copies of the old keys. We can rekey the entry locks so only your keys work. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange a visit.
Can you rekey a whole warehouse after an employee leaves?
Yes. We can rekey office doors, dock roll-up padlocks, and panic hardware cylinders, and set up a master-key structure if needed. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us how many locks are involved.
Is rekeying better than replacing the locks?
If the hardware works smoothly and is in good condition, rekeying is usually enough. If a lock is worn, seized, or damaged, replacement is the better choice. We inspect it first and give you an honest recommendation.
Do you offer rekeying at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your Commerce location when you need us.
Can you rekey high-security padlocks on gates and dock doors?
Often yes, depending on the make and model. Some high-security padlocks can be rekeyed, while others are better replaced. Describe the lock when you call and we will advise.
Do I need to be present during the rekey?
Someone authorized should be there so we can verify the work and hand over the new keys. For businesses, a manager or key holder is usually best.
Do you have a shop in Commerce I can visit?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront. We come to your home or business throughout Commerce, and you can reach us at (323) 997-8867.
