Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so that the keys that used to open it no longer do, while the lock itself stays on the door. In Hidden Hills that matters more than most places. Properties here are large, often have several buildings, and may have a dozen or more keys floating around among family, contractors, trainers, house managers and household staff. When a home sells, a staff member leaves, or a key goes missing, rekeying is the sensible way to reset who has access without tearing out good hardware.

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 drives to you with the tools and key blanks needed to work on site, and we are available around the clock, including nights and weekends.

A Hidden Hills rekey is rarely a single front-door job. It can mean the main house, a guest house, pool house, side doors, a tack room, and the padlocks on a barn or paddock gate, all brought onto one key or organized into a deliberate system. We plan the job around how your property is actually used, rather than treating it as a standard door count.

How it works in Hidden Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the property

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you have: how many doors, whether there is a guest house or barn, and whether any locks are smart or biometric. We will also ask whether you want everything keyed alike or separated by area.

  2. 2

    Coordinate gate entry

    Hidden Hills is guard-gated, with manned entries on Long Valley Road and Spring Valley Road. We will work with you so your name is on the list and the guard expects us, so we reach your address without delay at the gate.

  3. 3

    Inspect the existing locks

    On site we check each lock for condition. A worn or corroded cylinder may not rekey reliably, and we will tell you plainly which locks are fine to rekey and which would be better replaced.

  4. 4

    Rekey and build your key plan

    We change the pin configuration in each cylinder so old keys no longer work, and cut new keys to match. Whether you want one key for the whole property or a split between the house, guest quarters and barn, we set it up that way.

  5. 5

    Test every lock and every key

    Each lock is operated with the new key several times, and we confirm the old key fails. We also check that deadbolts throw fully and doors latch without binding.

  6. 6

    Hand over keys and advise on next steps

    You receive the new keys and we point out any weak spots we noticed, such as worn strike plates, gate hardware or a smart lock that needs a mechanical backup, so you can decide what to address.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks and cylinders to be rekeyed, which can be large on a multi-building estate
  • Whether all locks are keyed alike or divided into separate key groups for house, guest house and barn
  • The condition of the hardware, since corroded or worn cylinders may need replacement instead of rekeying
  • Lock type and brand, including high-security cylinders, deadbolts, and heavy-duty padlocks used on equestrian properties
  • The number of new keys you need cut
  • Timing of the visit, as after-hours and emergency calls are handled differently from scheduled daytime appointments

Why Hidden Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a rekey after a late-night staff change or a sudden key loss does not have to wait
  • Experience since 1987 working on residential properties across Los Angeles and Ventura County, including large gated estates
  • Comfortable with whole-property key plans that cover the main house, guest house, gates and outbuildings together
  • Honest assessment of whether a lock should be rekeyed or replaced, rather than pushing a replacement that is not needed
  • Familiar with the heavy-duty padlocks and weather-exposed hardware that horse properties rely on
  • Owner and lead technician David Shar stands behind the work, with no storefront overhead and no pretense of one

Lock Rekeying across Hidden Hills

Hidden Hills is a guard-gated city of large lots, and the rhythm of its properties shapes how we rekey. In the Long Valley Road area and the Spring Valley Road area, we often find a mix of original 1950s and 60s ranch homes alongside newer custom builds. Older homes may still have original deadbolts and mismatched keys collected over decades, while newer ones layer smart locks, driveway gates and safes on top of conventional cylinders. Both benefit from a clean rekey and a clear record of who holds which key.

In the Round Meadow area, near Round Meadow Elementary School and the private equestrian trail network, many properties have barns, stables, tack rooms and paddock gates. Those locks live outside and corrode, so we check padlocks and gate hardware carefully and replace what is too far gone. If you are in ZIP code 91302, we can come to your address any hour, coordinating with the manned entry gates on Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road.

Because Hidden Hills sits right beside Calabasas and the US-101 Ventura Freeway, we are able to reach the city from either direction. A common request here is a full rekey after household staff turnover, covering the main house, guest house and gates so every door works on the new keys. Another is a smart or biometric lock that has failed, where we provide a mechanical override and rekey. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will plan around your property.

Lock Rekeying in Hidden Hills — FAQs

What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key works and old keys do not, while the lock stays on the door. Replacing swaps the whole lock. Rekeying is usually the better choice when the hardware is in good shape.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Hidden Hills?
Yes, it is a smart first step. Previous owners, agents, contractors and staff may still hold working keys. Rekeying makes sure only the keys you hold will open your doors. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule it.
Can you key the main house, guest house and gates alike?
Yes. We can put the main house, guest house and compatible gate or outbuilding locks on a single key, or set up separate key groups if you prefer to limit access by area.
How does service work with the manned entry gates?
We will coordinate with you so your address and our visit are known to the guard at the Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road gate. Tell us when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will plan around it.
Can you rekey barn, tack room and paddock gate locks?
Often yes, if the hardware is sound. Outdoor padlocks and gate locks corrode, so we inspect them first and replace any that will not hold up, using heavy-duty hardware suited to equestrian use.
My smart lock failed. Can you still rekey?
In many cases we can use the mechanical override or the key cylinder to get in and rekey it. If the electronic portion has failed, we will explain whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Do you offer 24/7 rekeying?
Yes. We are a fully mobile, 24/7 locksmith, so you can call at any hour, including after hours following a staff departure or lost key. The number is (323) 997-8867.
Do I need to be home during the rekey?
Someone authorized should be present, or arrangements made for access, so we can test each lock and hand over the keys. We can talk through options when you call.
