Rekeying is the quiet fix that solves a loud problem: you don't know who still holds a key to your door. Maybe you just closed on a house near Citrus College, inherited a set of keys from a former tenant, or ended a roommate arrangement on a bad note. Instead of tearing out perfectly good hardware, we change the internal pin configuration of each cylinder so the old keys stop working and a new key takes over.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to. Our tech brings the tools, key blanks, and replacement parts to your door in Glendora, whether that's a tract home in South Glendora, a boutique space in Glendora Village, or a custom home up in the foothills. Owner and lead tech David Shar built the business on explaining options plainly, so you know what is being done and why.

Rekeying is not always the right answer, and we'll say so. If a lock is worn, damaged, or the wrong grade for the door, replacing it may serve you better. Part of every visit is a quick look at the condition of your hardware so the choice between rekeying and replacing is an informed one, not a sales pitch.

How it works in Glendora

  1. 1

    Call and describe your locks

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us how many doors, what brands you have, and why you want to rekey, such as a move, a sale, or a lost key. That helps us bring the right pinning kits and parts.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, the work happens at your property. We confirm who is authorized to request the rekey before starting, since changing locks is a security-sensitive job.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before disassembling anything, we check that each cylinder turns smoothly, the latch and strike line up, and the hardware is in good enough shape to be worth rekeying. Worn or damaged locks get flagged.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove each cylinder, replace the pins to match a new key cut, and reassemble. Entry doors, deadbolts, and often side gates, garage entry doors, and patio doors can be set to work with one key.

  5. 5

    Test every key and lock

    We try the new key in every lock several times, confirm the old key no longer operates, and check that doors latch and deadbolts throw fully.

  6. 6

    Hand over keys and next steps

    You get your new keys and straight advice on spare copies, plus a note on any hardware that deserves an upgrade later. Nothing is replaced without your say-so.

What affects the price

  • How many cylinders are being rekeyed, since each lock is its own piece of work
  • The brand and type of hardware, because standard residential locks, higher-end designer sets, and multipoint systems are handled differently
  • Whether any locks are worn, damaged, or gritty enough that cleaning, repair, or replacement is needed alongside the rekey
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike to a single key or separate keys for different doors
  • The number of new keys you need cut
  • The time of day and the location of the property, since we are available around the clock and travel to you

Why Glendora chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987, so there is no shop visit and the work is done at your door
  • Owner-led experience: David Shar has spent decades on residential locks, from simple tract-home deadbolts to custom hardware
  • Honest rekey-or-replace advice, including telling you when a lock is too worn to be worth rekeying
  • Comfortable with higher-end hardware like Baldwin and Emtek sets and multipoint patio doors, which are common on foothill homes
  • Service available 24/7, useful when a sale closes late or a security concern can't wait
  • Every lock and key tested before we leave, with the old key confirmed dead

Lock Rekeying across Glendora

Glendora's housing varies a lot from the foothills down to the flatlands, and rekeying looks different in each. In North Glendora, larger hillside and custom homes, many from the mid-century era, often carry upscale hardware like Baldwin and Emtek sets, multipoint patio doors, and sometimes gated entries or long private drives. Those locks deserve careful handling and the right parts. Homes in the foothill fire zone near Big Dalton Canyon and the trailheads also deal with Santa Ana wind season, which can leave locks fouled with grit and dust. A rekey is a good moment to clean and check a sticky cylinder.

South Glendora is mostly post-war single-family tract housing, where the locks are often original or have passed through several owners. For anyone who recently bought in the 91740 area, rekeying the exterior doors is a sensible first-week task, and it usually costs far less than replacing everything. Near Glendora Village, with its early-1900s buildings and boutique storefronts, older doors and mixed hardware are common, and we can look at what's there before recommending anything.

Whether you're off Grand Ave, Glendora Ave, or Lone Hill Ave, or closer to Foothill Blvd and the Route 66 corridor, or in the 91741 ZIP code up toward the hills, we come to you. Residents near Citrus College and the Glendora Country Club call us for move-ins, tenant turnovers, and lost-key situations. Call (323) 997-8867 and we'll schedule a visit.

Lock Rekeying in Glendora — FAQs

What does lock rekeying mean?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so it works with a new key and the old key no longer does. The lock hardware itself stays in place, so it's usually a more economical way to regain control of access than replacing locks.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Glendora?
Yes, it's one of the first things we'd suggest. You can't know how many copies of the old keys exist, whether with prior owners, agents, contractors, or neighbors. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule rekeying for your new place.
Is rekeying better than replacing the locks?
If your locks are in good working order and meet your security needs, rekeying is often enough. If they're worn, damaged, or low quality, replacement may make more sense. We inspect first and tell you honestly.
Can you rekey high-end or multipoint locks on a North Glendora home?
Often yes. Many foothill homes have Baldwin, Emtek, or similar hardware, and multipoint patio doors. Call (323) 997-8867 with the brands and we can tell you what's possible and bring suitable parts.
Can all my doors be keyed to one key?
In most cases, yes. We can key entry doors, deadbolts, and compatible side or garage doors alike so you carry one key. We can also keep certain doors on separate keys if you prefer.
My locks feel gritty after wind season. Can rekeying help?
Grit and dust from Santa Ana winds can make cylinders stiff. Since we take the cylinder apart to rekey it, we can clean it at the same time. If a lock is too worn, we'll tell you.
Do you rekey commercial or storefront locks in Glendora Village?
Yes, we can handle many storefront cylinders, and lockouts or cylinder replacement when needed. Describe the door hardware when you call so we can plan the visit.
Do I need to visit your shop?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile with no storefront, and we're available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 and we'll come to your Glendora property.
