Most people think of key duplication as a quick errand at a hardware counter. In Huntington Park, it is often more involved. Many homes here date from the 1920s, and so does much of the hardware on them. A worn original key, a bungalow with a mix of old and newer locks, or an apartment where keys have been copied from copies for years can all produce keys that bind, stick or fail. Our mobile approach lets us cut a key on site and test it in the lock it is meant for.

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 visit. We come to you, whether that is a Spanish Revival home, an apartment building, or a storefront along Pacific Boulevard, and we make copies that work smoothly in the actual lock.

Duplication covers more than standard house keys. We also handle office keys, mailbox keys and restricted keyways, which usually need authorization and cannot be copied at a self-serve kiosk. If you are not sure what kind of key you have, describe it when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will tell you what is involved before we head out.

How it works in Huntington Park

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need copied

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the key: house, office, mailbox, or one stamped with a restriction. Tell us how many copies you want and where the lock is, and we will explain what we need from you.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, we drive to your home, apartment or business. Everything is done on site, so you never have to leave a storefront unattended or take a day off to run across town.

  3. 3

    Inspect the original key and the lock

    A key worn down over decades makes poor copies. We examine the original and the lock itself. If the key is badly worn or the lock is sticking, we will tell you honestly whether a copy will work well or if the lock needs attention first.

  4. 4

    Cut the copies

    We cut the new keys to match the original, or to the lock's code where appropriate, and deburr them so they turn cleanly. Restricted keys follow the authorization requirements of the keyway.

  5. 5

    Test in the real lock

    Every copy is tried in the lock it belongs to, several times, including the deadbolt and any secondary locks. If a copy is stiff, we adjust or recut it before we leave.

What affects the price

  • The type of key: a standard house key is a different job from a high-security, restricted or specialty key.
  • How many copies you need, and whether they are all cut during one visit.
  • Whether the original key is worn enough that cutting by code or by the lock is a better route.
  • Restricted keyways that require authorization or special blanks.
  • Time of day and location of the visit, since we are available around the clock and travel to you.
  • Whether the lock itself needs adjusting or repair so the new keys work smoothly.

Why Huntington Park chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we cut keys at your door, so there is no storefront trip and no leaving a business unattended.
  • Operating since 1987 under owner and lead tech David Shar, with decades of experience on older residential and commercial hardware.
  • Every copy is tested in the actual lock rather than handed over untried.
  • We are familiar with the mix of 1920s mortise hardware, bungalow deadbolts and apartment locks common in Southeast LA.
  • Straightforward advice: if a lock is the real problem, we say so instead of selling you copies that will keep sticking.
  • Available 24/7, including for lost-key situations that cannot wait until business hours.

Key Duplication across Huntington Park

Huntington Park has a distinct building mix. Around Salt Lake Park and through Walnut Park, you will find many 1920s Spanish Revival and Craftsman bungalows, often with original hardware that has been copied many times. We frequently see keys in ZIP code 90255 that are worn smooth, and a fresh duplicate from a clean original can make a big difference in how a door operates.

The Pacific Boulevard district is a different world. Early-20th-century masonry storefronts line the corridor, and many still carry original mortise locks and transom hardware, alongside aluminum storefront doors, retail exit hardware and roll-down security grilles with padlocks. Retailers on Pacific Boulevard and the Gage Avenue retail district often need extra keys for staff, managers and opening crews, and we can cut them at the shop without closing the door for an errand.

We also serve the Firestone Park area and the dense older apartment buildings near Florence Avenue, Slauson Avenue and Alameda Street, where tenants and property managers often need spare keys, mailbox keys or copies for a new occupant. Wherever you are in Huntington Park, near City Hall or off Santa Fe Avenue, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Key Duplication in Huntington Park — FAQs

Do I have to bring my key to a shop?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile with no storefront. We come to your home, apartment or business in Huntington Park and cut the copies on site. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange a visit.
Can you copy restricted or 'Do Not Duplicate' keys?
Restricted keyways are controlled and typically require authorization from the registered owner or system holder. Call (323) 997-8867, describe the key, and we will explain what documentation is needed.
Can you copy a mailbox key?
Yes, we can cut mailbox keys on location in many cases. This is useful in older apartment buildings. Tell us about the lock when you call and we will confirm what is possible.
My key is very old and worn. Will a copy still work?
Often, but a copy of a worn key inherits its wear. We inspect the key and lock first. Sometimes cutting by the lock's code or servicing the lock gives a better result than copying the worn key.
Can you make keys for the old mortise locks on Pacific Boulevard storefronts?
In many cases yes. Original mortise hardware is common on historic storefronts, and we can often cut keys for it. If the lock is too worn, we can discuss repair or replacement.
Do you offer key duplication at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7, which helps when you need a spare key after closing or a copy for a new tenant. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
How is the price determined?
It depends on the key type, the number of copies, whether it is restricted, the condition of the original, and the time and location of the visit. We explain the factors when you call, before we come out.
Can you rekey a lock instead of just copying keys?
Yes. If you have bought a home, changed tenants or worry about who holds old keys, rekeying makes the old keys useless. We can also upgrade older bungalow hardware to a modern deadbolt.
