Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so a new key operates it and every previously issued key becomes useless. The lock itself stays on the door. If you just closed on a home in Inglewood, ended a tenancy, parted ways with a roommate, or lost a key ring, rekeying is usually the most sensible way to regain control of who can get in.

Inglewood has an unusually wide mix of buildings. Morningside Park and North Inglewood have 1920s Spanish and Mediterranean homes and Craftsman houses, many with their original hardware. Elsewhere you will find 1940s and 50s stucco homes and large 1960s to 80s apartment complexes where many doors need attention at once. Each of these calls for a slightly different approach, and that is where a technician with real field experience matters.

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, with no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and parts to you, assess what you have, and tell you plainly whether rekeying is the right fix or whether a lock is worn or outdated enough that replacing it makes more sense.

How it works in Inglewood

1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what you have: how many doors, what brand of locks if you know, and why you are rekeying, such as a recent purchase, a tenant turnover, or a lost key. This helps us bring the right pins, keyways, and parts.
2
We travel to your Inglewood address
Because we are fully mobile, the work happens at your property. Whether you are in a single-family home near Prairie Ave or an apartment building off Manchester Blvd, we bring everything needed to finish on the spot.
3
Inspect each lock before touching it
We check that every deadbolt, knob, and latch is in good working order. A lock that is worn, loose, or damaged does not rekey well. If something is not worth rekeying, we say so and explain the alternatives, so you decide with full information.
4
Rekey to your new key
We remove the cylinder, replace the internal pin configuration, and reassemble it to match a new key. If you want several doors on one key, we can set them keyed alike so you carry a single key for the front door, back door, and side gate.
5
Test every lock and every key
We operate each lock with the new key several times, confirm the old key no longer turns it, and check that the door latches and throws the bolt smoothly. Then we hand you the new keys and make sure you know which key goes where.

What affects the price

The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since a single deadbolt is a different job than a whole house or a multi-unit building.
Whether you want locks keyed alike, which changes how the cylinders are set up.
The type and condition of the hardware, including whether the locks are standard modern cylinders or older mortise locks that need more careful handling.
How many new keys you need cut, particularly for apartment turnovers or shared access.
Whether any locks need repair or replacement alongside the rekey, such as a worn deadbolt or a damaged strike plate.
The time of day and the location of the job, since we operate around the clock and travel to you.

Why Inglewood chooses us

Fully mobile service means the work is done at your door, so you never need to bring locks anywhere or take time off to visit a shop.
Experience since 1987 with older hardware, including the mortise locks found in 1920s Inglewood homes, not just modern off-the-shelf deadbolts.
Honest recommendations: if a lock is too worn or too weak to be worth rekeying, we tell you rather than upselling.
Comfortable with multi-unit work, so property managers can have several apartments rekeyed in one visit between tenants.
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights and weekends when a move-in or a security concern cannot wait.
Owner-led operation under David Shar, so the standards for the work come from the top.

Lock Rekeying across Inglewood

Inglewood's housing tells the story of why rekeying is so common here. In Morningside Park and North Inglewood, the 1920s Spanish and Craftsman homes often still carry original mortise locks and skeleton-key doors. A buyer closing on one of these homes in ZIP 90301 or 90302 may want to retire every key that has been floating around for decades. Sometimes that means rekeying what is sound; sometimes it means moving to modern keyed-alike deadbolts for better security and everyday convenience. We can walk through the options door by door.

Apartment owners and managers face a different rhythm. Along Manchester Blvd, Century Blvd, and La Brea Ave, the 1960s to 80s apartment complexes turn over tenants regularly, and each turnover is a reason to rekey. We can handle multiple units in one visit, and mailbox locks can be addressed at the same time. Neighborhoods like Fairview Heights and Arbor Village, with their mix of houses and multifamily buildings, see the same needs on a smaller scale.

Redevelopment is also changing the city. Around SoFi Stadium, the Hollywood Park development, and the Intuit Dome, new residences and businesses keep arriving, and with them come questions about key control after construction crews, contractors, and previous occupants have had access. Whether you are in ZIP 90303 or 90305, or closer to the Kia Forum and Market Street, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
