City of Industry is not a typical residential city. It is warehouses, distribution centers, cold-storage buildings, import/export facilities, light manufacturing and aluminum-storefront flex units, with only a very small residential population. Rekeying here usually has less to do with a new homeowner and more to do with a terminated employee, a departing tenant, a lost key ring, or a change in who is allowed into which part of a large building.

Rekeying means changing the internal pin configuration of an existing lock so that it works with a new key and the old keys no longer do. The hardware stays in place. That is often the sensible choice for commercial doors: you keep the deadbolts, rim cylinders, mortise cylinders and exit devices you already have, and you cut off access from every key that has ever been handed out.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead tech David Shar. We are fully mobile with no storefront to visit. We work on site, around your operation, at any hour, which matters when a facility runs night shifts or a yard has to stay secured.

How it works in City of Industry

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what happened: an employee left, a tenant moved out, keys went missing, or you simply don't know who holds copies. Tell us roughly how many doors and what types of locks are involved so we can plan the visit.

  2. 2

    Walk the site and inventory the hardware

    On arrival we go through the doors with you: office entries, dock man-doors, perimeter gates, storage rooms and padlocked equipment. We identify each cylinder type, check whether parts are worn, and note which locks are suitable for rekeying and which would be better replaced.

  3. 3

    Decide on a key plan

    Before touching a lock, we talk through who needs access to what. That might be one key for everything, a master-key system with separate keys per department or tenant, or a different arrangement for gates and dock doors. Planning this first avoids a second visit later.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders on site

    We remove the cylinders, reset them to the new key pattern, and reinstall them. Doors keep working throughout, and we try to sequence the work so your building is not left unsecured while we move from door to door.

  5. 5

    Test every lock and every key

    We test each new key in each lock it should open, and confirm that an old key no longer works. We also check latch and deadbolt operation, since a door that sticks tends to get propped open.

  6. 6

    Hand over keys and recommendations

    You receive the new keys, and we point out any weak spots we noticed, such as a worn exit device, a lock that is past rekeying, or a padlock that is easy to defeat, so you can decide what to address next.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks and cylinders involved, since each one is taken apart and reset individually.
  • The type of hardware: standard deadbolts, rim cylinders, mortise cylinders, high-security cylinders and padlocks all take different work.
  • Whether you want a single key pattern or a master-key system with several access levels, which takes more planning and more pinning.
  • The number of keys you need cut, and whether they are restricted or high-security keyways.
  • The condition of existing locks; worn or damaged hardware may need replacement rather than rekeying.
  • The time of day and urgency, such as an after-hours call following a termination, and how many locations on a large site must be reached.

Why City of Industry chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so rekeying can happen the same day an employee leaves or a lease ends, without you bringing locks anywhere.
  • Experience with commercial hardware common in City of Industry, including rim and mortise cylinders, panic and crash-bar exit devices, and dock-door padlocks.
  • Master-key planning for multi-door and multi-tenant buildings, so one key plan covers offices, dock doors and perimeter gates.
  • In business since 1987, which means we have seen how locks wear and fail in industrial settings.
  • Honest recommendations: if a lock should be replaced instead of rekeyed, we tell you why rather than rekeying hardware that won't hold up.
  • No storefront overhead or detours; the work is done at your door by a technician who can answer questions on the spot.

Lock Rekeying across City of Industry

City of Industry's character comes through in what we're asked to secure. Around Grand Crossing and the stretches along Valley Blvd and Azusa Ave, the typical job involves a distribution warehouse with dock doors, office entries and perimeter gates that all need to be tied into one key plan. When a manager lets someone go, rekeying those doors is often the cleanest way to ensure old keys no longer work, and it lets you reissue keys by role.

Near Industry Hills, with Pacific Palms Resort and the Industry Hills Golf Club's Eisenhower and Zaharias courses nearby, there is a mix of hospitality and maintenance facilities where keys circulate among staff and contractors. Rekeying helps there too, especially after seasonal turnover or a lost ring. In the Bassett-adjacent industrial district and around the rail yards, storage yards and containers often rely on padlocks and gate hardware. If a lock is cut or seized, we can remove it and fit a higher-security replacement on site.

We serve the city's ZIP codes, including 91744, 91745, 91746 and 91789, and many business-only addresses in 91715 and 91716. With SR-60 and I-605 close by, getting to most sites is straightforward at any hour. Call (323) 997-8867 and we'll come to you.

Lock Rekeying in City of Industry — FAQs

What does lock rekeying actually do?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so a new key works and old keys no longer do. The lock hardware stays on the door. Call (323) 997-8867 if you're unsure whether your locks can be rekeyed.
Should I rekey after firing or laying off an employee?
It is often a good idea if that person had keys to doors, dock entries or gates. Rekeying ensures their key, or any copy, stops working. We are available 24/7 at (323) 997-8867.
Can you set up a master-key system for a large warehouse?
Yes. We can plan a system so different people have access to different doors, such as offices, dock doors and perimeter gates, while a master key opens everything needed.
Is rekeying better than replacing the locks?
If the hardware is in good condition, rekeying is usually the practical choice. If a lock is worn, damaged or low-security, replacement may make more sense. We'll tell you honestly which applies.
Can you rekey dock-door and gate padlocks?
Many padlocks can be rekeyed, but some are better replaced, especially if they are cut, seized or easy to defeat. We assess each one on site and recommend the sturdier option.
Do you also fix broken panic bars and exit devices?
Yes. If a loading-dock exit device is broken and could trap staff, call (323) 997-8867 and we can repair or replace it on site, since these doors need to keep working properly.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your building anywhere in City of Industry.
How is rekeying priced?
It depends on the number and type of locks, key plan complexity, number of keys, and urgency. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe your site so we can talk through what's involved.
