Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so that a new key operates it and every previous key becomes useless. The lock hardware stays on your door. That makes rekeying one of the most practical security steps after you move into a new place, finish a tenant's lease, lose a set of keys, or end a relationship where someone else had access.

Hawaiian Gardens is a small, densely built city of about one square mile, and a large share of its housing is rental. Older stucco apartment complexes, post-war single-family homes and mobile-home parks all see regular turnover, and every handoff leaves behind keys you cannot account for. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar and our technicians are fully mobile, so the work happens at your door rather than at a shop counter.

There is no storefront to visit. We are available around the clock, so whether the need comes up on a weekday afternoon or late at night after a lockout or a break-in scare, you can call (323) 997-8867 and we will work out the right approach for your locks.

How it works in Hawaiian Gardens

  1. 1

    Tell us about the locks

    When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask how many locks need attention, what type they are (deadbolts, knob sets, mortise locks, padlocks), and why you are rekeying. A move-in, a tenant turnover, and a lost key each call for slightly different priorities.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to your home, apartment complex, mobile-home park or business in Hawaiian Gardens with the tools and key blanks needed for most common residential hardware.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before taking anything apart, we check that each lock is in good working condition. Rekeying works best on hardware that is sound. If a lock is badly worn, damaged or a poor fit for the door, we will tell you and explain your options.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove the cylinder, replace the internal pin configuration to match a new key, and reassemble it. Old keys will no longer turn the lock. For several doors, we can key them alike so one key works throughout, if you want that.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We test every lock with the new key and confirm the old key fails. Then you receive your new keys, and we can cut extra copies on request.

  6. 6

    Optional hardware fixes

    While on site, we can address related problems like a sticking deadbolt, a loose knob, or a worn strike plate, so the rekeyed lock performs well for the long run.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since batch work on many doors is handled differently than a single deadbolt
  • The type and brand of lock, because some hardware is simpler to rekey than others and specialty or high-security cylinders take more care
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or each one on its own separate key
  • How many extra keys you need cut once the rekey is complete
  • Whether any locks are worn or damaged enough to need repair or replacement rather than a simple rekey
  • The time of day and urgency of the request, since we are available 24/7 including nights and weekends

Why Hawaiian Gardens chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the work to your door in Hawaiian Gardens instead of asking you to bring locks anywhere
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar standing behind the work
  • Honest assessments: if a lock should be replaced instead of rekeyed, we say so rather than pushing a sale
  • Experience with multi-unit and rental situations, including batch rekeys for property managers handling tenant turnover
  • Comfortable with older hardware found in post-war homes, stucco apartments and mobile-home coaches, as well as commercial doors
  • Available 24/7, so rekeying can happen when it fits your schedule or your security concern

Lock Rekeying across Hawaiian Gardens

Hawaiian Gardens packs a lot into a small footprint. Along the Carson Street corridor, older stucco apartment complexes sit close together, and property managers there often need a run of units rekeyed quickly when tenants change over. Doing the whole batch in one visit keeps vacancies from sitting with unknown keys in circulation. Around the Pioneer Boulevard and Civic Center district, near Hawaiian Gardens City Hall at 21815 Pioneer Blvd, you will find a mix of homes and small offices with their own rekeying needs.

Residents in the city's mobile-home parks often have older doors and latches that need a little extra attention. A worn door lock and a seized window latch on an older coach can be handled during the same visit as a rekey, so the whole home is more secure. Single-family homeowners in ZIP 90716 who have just bought a post-war house usually start with rekeying every exterior door so the previous owner's keys, and any copies made over the years, no longer work.

Businesses near The Gardens Casino on East Carson Street and along Norwalk Boulevard can also call us for commercial rekeying, and we can look at a small floor or wall safe at the same visit when needed. Whether you are near the C. Robert Lee Activity Center or just off the SR-91, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Hawaiian Gardens — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and changing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key works and old keys do not, while keeping the same lock hardware on your door. Replacing means installing a new lock. Rekeying is often the simpler and more economical choice when the lock is in good shape.
Should I rekey after moving into a home in Hawaiian Gardens?
Yes, it is a good idea. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist among prior owners, tenants, relatives or contractors. Rekeying every exterior door gives you a fresh start. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Can you rekey several apartment units in one visit?
Yes. Property managers with high tenant turnover often need multiple units done at once. Tell us how many doors and what lock types are involved when you call, and we will plan the visit accordingly.
Do you have a shop I can bring my locks to?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile with no storefront. We travel to your home, complex or business in Hawaiian Gardens and do the work on site.
Can all my locks be made to use one key?
In most cases, yes. We can key compatible locks alike so a single key operates your front door, back door and other locks. Some specialty hardware may not be compatible, and we will let you know during inspection.
What if my lock is too worn to rekey?
If a lock is damaged, loose or failing, rekeying may not be worthwhile. We will explain what we see and suggest repair or replacement. Call (323) 997-8867 if you are unsure about the condition of your hardware.
Can you rekey locks at a business near The Gardens Casino?
Yes. We handle commercial rekeying for businesses in the area and can also service a small floor or wall safe during the same visit when appropriate.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. We make no promises about specific arrival times, but you can reach us anytime to discuss your situation and schedule the work.
