Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of a lock so that a new key operates it and every previously cut key becomes useless. The hardware stays on the door. For most people in Irwindale, that is the sensible answer after buying a home, ending a tenancy, losing a key ring, or parting ways with an employee who carried keys to a gate or building.

Irwindale is an unusual city for this work. Most of its land is quarries, aggregate yards, distribution centers, food and beverage plants, and sound stages, so a large share of the locks here are commercial cylinders, heavy padlocks, and gate hardware rather than ordinary house deadbolts. A small residential community of roughly 1,400 people lives in a few hundred homes, many of them older single-family houses in the long-established original townsite. We work on both sides of that divide.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, so the service happens where the lock is, at any hour of the day or night.

How it works in Irwindale

  1. 1

    Tell us what needs rekeying

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the situation: a house after a purchase, a few doors at a small business, a gate padlock at a yard, or a set of plant doors. Tell us the brand of lock if you know it, and how many cylinders are involved. That lets us bring the right pinning kits and key blanks.

  2. 2

    We drive to you

    Since we are fully mobile and available around the clock, we come to the property. Whether that is a house near Irwindale Ave, a building off Arrow Hwy, or a gate at an aggregate yard, the work is done on site.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before taking anything apart, we check that each cylinder is in sound working condition. Older hardware in the original townsite can be worn, and some heavy yard padlocks are better replaced than rekeyed. We tell you plainly which is which.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove the cylinder, replace the pins to match a new key cut, and reassemble it. Where you want several locks to work from one key, we pin them to match. Where you want separation, such as different keys for different departments, we can arrange that too.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We operate every lock with the new key, confirm the old key no longer turns it, and make sure the door or gate latches cleanly. You receive the new keys and can order extras on the spot.

What affects the price

  • How many cylinders or padlocks need rekeying, since the work is done lock by lock.
  • The brand and grade of the hardware; standard residential deadbolts differ from commercial and high-security cylinders.
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or separate keys for different doors or users.
  • How many extra keys you want cut, and whether the key blank is a restricted or patented type.
  • The condition of the existing lock; worn or damaged hardware may be better replaced than rekeyed.
  • Time of day and the location of the job, as after-hours calls and remote yard gates can affect the overall quote.

Why Irwindale chooses us

  • Fully mobile service means we handle the whole job at your door, gate, or plant, with no need to bring locks anywhere.
  • We work comfortably in both worlds Irwindale has: older single-family homes and heavy commercial, yard, and quarry hardware.
  • We will tell you honestly when rekeying is not the right call and a worn lock or padlock should be replaced instead.
  • Available 24/7, so a rekey after a lost key or an employee departure does not have to wait for business hours.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.

Lock Rekeying across Irwindale

In the original Irwindale townsite, around Irwindale Ave and Los Angeles St, the housing is mostly older single-family stock owned by long-tenured residents. Those front and back doors often still have hardware that has been in place for decades, and a rekey is a practical way to retire keys that may have been copied many times without replacing sound locks. Addresses in this area typically fall under ZIP code 91706, and we also serve 91702 and 91010 nearby.

The larger share of Irwindale's locks are on the industrial side. Around the Santa Fe Dam and quarry district, active gravel pits and aggregate yards rely on perimeter gates, access control, and heavy padlocks, and a crew change or lost key can mean the whole set needs new keying. Plants and distribution buildings near the I-605 and Arrow Hwy interchange, including food and beverage operations, have similar needs for commercial cylinders.

We also keep in mind the places that draw crowds and staff. Venues like the Irwindale Speedway & Event Center have gates and doors that matter on event days, and the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area on Arrow Hwy has its own facilities to secure. Whether you reach us from the I-210, the I-605, Live Oak Ave, or near the Metro A Line station, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Irwindale — 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 hardware stays on the door. Replacing swaps the whole lock. Rekeying is usually the simpler choice when the lock is in good shape. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can advise.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Irwindale?
Yes, it is a smart step. You cannot know who holds copies of the previous keys, including past owners, tenants, or contractors. Rekeying makes every old key useless while keeping your existing hardware.
Can you rekey commercial locks and yard padlocks?
Yes. Many Irwindale properties are industrial, with commercial cylinders, gate locks, and heavy padlocks. We inspect each one and tell you whether rekeying works or whether replacement is the better route.
Can all my locks be keyed to one key?
In most cases, yes. We can pin compatible locks to match so one key works on several doors. If you want separate keys for separate areas, we can set that up as well.
Do you offer rekeying at night or on weekends?
We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If you need locks rekeyed after hours, call (323) 997-8867 and we will arrange service to your location.
Do I need to be present for the work?
It is best that you or an authorized person is there so we can confirm the locks, hand over the new keys, and test everything. For businesses, a manager or key holder is usually the right contact.
Will the rekeyed lock look any different?
No. The hardware stays in place, so the finish, handle, and deadbolt look the same. Only the inside of the cylinder changes, along with the key that operates it.
How is the cost of rekeying determined?
It depends on the number of locks, the hardware type, how many keys you want, and when and where the job is. We can walk through these factors by phone at (323) 997-8867 so you know what to expect.
