Rekeying is the simplest way to take back control of who can open your doors. Instead of replacing hardware, we change the internal pin configuration of the lock you already own so it works with a new key, and every key that used to fit becomes useless. For a family who just closed on a home in Hacienda Heights, that means the previous owner, their contractors, the old dog walker, and anyone who ever borrowed a spare no longer has access.

Many homes here were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and a lot of them have changed hands more than once. Nobody can say for certain how many copies of those original keys are still floating around. Rekeying the front door, the garage entry, and the back door to a single new key is a practical, affordable-in-concept way to start fresh without tearing out good hardware.

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, so there is no shop to drive to. We bring the tools and key-cutting equipment to your property, whether that is a tract home on the flats, a custom home on the Puente Hills slopes, or a small business in a Colima Road strip center.

How it works in Hacienda Heights

  1. 1

    Tell us what needs rekeying

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the situation: how many locks, what type (deadbolts, knob sets, garage entry, patio door), and whether anything is damaged. That helps us arrive prepared with the right pinning kits and parts.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    We are 24/7 and fully mobile. A technician drives to your home or business in Hacienda Heights with the equipment needed to complete the work on the spot. There is no storefront to visit.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before rekeying, we check that each lock is in good working order. Cylinders that are worn, corroded, or poorly aligned may be better replaced, and we will explain that honestly rather than pushing you toward new hardware you do not need.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove each cylinder, replace the internal pins to match a new key, and reassemble it. Where you want one key for several doors, we pin them all to the same key so your keyring stays simple.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We test every lock with the new key, confirm the old key no longer turns, and check that the latch and deadbolt throw smoothly. You get your new keys and can request extra copies on the spot.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since each one is disassembled and repinned individually.
  • The type of hardware, such as standard deadbolts versus higher-grade or restricted-keyway locks common on custom hillside homes.
  • Whether you want all doors keyed alike to one key or each lock on its own key.
  • The number of additional key copies you want cut at the visit.
  • Whether any locks are worn or damaged and need repair or replacement parts in addition to rekeying.
  • The time of day and urgency of the call, as after-hours and same-day service involve different scheduling than a planned appointment.

Why Hacienda Heights chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so the work happens at your door and you never have to bring locks anywhere.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
  • Honest recommendations: if a lock is worn out or poor quality, we say so, and if rekeying will do the job, that is what we suggest.
  • Experience with the hardware found in Hacienda Heights, including tract-home deadbolts, attached-garage entries, multi-point patio slider latches, and smart deadbolts.
  • Able to coordinate the main entry with gate hardware on hillside properties so one visit can cover more of your security.
  • Available 24/7, so a rekey after a break-in scare, a lost key, or a sudden staff change does not have to wait for business hours.

Lock Rekeying across Hacienda Heights

Hacienda Heights is a hillside suburb where housing changes noticeably as you climb. On the flats around the Stimson area and through The Heights, you find the classic 1960s and 1970s single-family tract homes, many with attached garages and sliding patio doors. Higher up in the Skyline hillside tracts and along the Puente Hills slopes, larger custom and view homes often have gated driveways and better entry hardware. Rekeying fits all of these: a homeowner in ZIP code 91745 who just bought a house can have the front door, garage entry, and back door brought onto one new key in a single visit.

On hillside properties, a rekey is often part of a bigger picture. If you have a gated driveway, it makes sense to think about the gate lock or keypad alongside the main entry so a former owner or contractor does not keep access through the side you forgot. Sliding patio doors on older tract homes are another common weak point; their multi-point or loop-lock hardware is different from a standard deadbolt, and we can look at it during the same visit.

Businesses and institutions matter here too. Strip centers along Colima Road and Hacienda Blvd, and organizations near Hsi Lai Temple, sometimes need locks rekeyed after staff turnover so former employees or volunteers no longer have working keys. Whether you are near Schabarum Regional Park, Steinmetz Park, or just off SR-60 and Azusa Ave, we come to you at any hour, with no shop visit required.

Lock Rekeying in Hacienda Heights — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so a new key works and old keys do not. Replacing swaps out the whole lock. Rekeying is usually the better fit when your hardware is in good shape and you only want to cancel old keys.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Hacienda Heights?
Yes, it is a smart first step. You cannot know who has copies of the previous owner's keys. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can rekey the exterior doors and garage entry to a single new key.
Can you rekey all my doors to one key?
In most cases, yes. If your locks are compatible, we pin them to match so one key opens the front door, back door, and garage entry. Some specialty or high-security locks may follow different rules, and we will explain what is possible.
Do you rekey smart or electronic deadbolts?
Many electronic deadbolts have a physical keyway that can be rekeyed. Credentials such as codes are managed separately in the lock's settings. We can look at your specific model and tell you what applies.
Can you rekey a lock on a gated hillside property?
Yes. We can service the main entry and discuss gate hardware during the same visit. Call (323) 997-8867 with details about your gate type so we can prepare.
Do I need to be home during the rekey?
Someone authorized should be present or arrange access so we can reach the locks and hand over the new keys. We will confirm the details when you call.
Can you rekey locks for my business near Colima Road?
Yes. We rekey commercial entry doors, back doors, and office locks, which is common after staff turnover. Tell us how many doors are involved when you call.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are 24/7 and fully mobile. You can reach us any time at (323) 997-8867 to schedule rekeying or ask a question.
