Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so that the keys that used to open it no longer do, and a new key takes over. The lock itself stays on the door. You keep the hardware you already have, but everyone who held an old key, whether a previous owner, a former tenant, a contractor, or an ex-roommate, is shut out. It is one of the most practical security steps you can take after a move, a purchase, or any time you are unsure who has a copy of your key.

Lakewood is a good place for this work because of how the city was built. It went up in the early 1950s as a huge tract suburb, often called the 'Levittown of the West,' with tens of thousands of near-identical single-story stucco ranch houses. The great majority are still on their original builder-grade Kwikset locksets. That consistency means we know what we will likely find at your front door, and a house that has changed hands several times over seventy years has had plenty of keys floating around.

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, so you can have locks rekeyed while you unpack, while escrow closes, or whenever a security concern comes up, day or night.

How it works in Lakewood

1
Call and describe your doors
Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us how many exterior doors and locks you have, what brand they look like, and why you want them rekeyed. Mention whether you have deadbolts, handlesets, a garage side door, or a gate lock, so we arrive prepared.
2
We come to you
We are a fully mobile service, so a technician travels to your Lakewood address with rekeying tools and key blanks. There is no shop to drive to, and you do not need to remove any hardware beforehand.
3
Inspect each lock
Before any work begins, we check each lock's condition. Original 1950s-era hardware sometimes has worn cylinders, sticky latches, or a deadbolt that binds in the jamb. We tell you honestly whether a lock is a good candidate for rekeying or whether replacement makes more sense.
4
Rekey the cylinders
We remove each cylinder, replace the internal pins to match a new key, and reassemble it. Where you want several locks on one key, such as the front door, back door, and side gate, we pin them to match so you carry a single key.
5
Test and hand over keys
We test every lock with the new key, confirm the old key no longer turns, and check that the door latches and deadbolts throw smoothly. You get your new keys and we can make extra copies on request.

What affects the price

The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since each one is pinned individually.
Whether you want all locks keyed alike to a single key or each kept on its own key.
The type and condition of the hardware, for example standard builder-grade locksets versus high-security or worn units.
How many extra keys you want cut for family members, tenants, or staff.
Whether the job is a scheduled appointment or an urgent after-hours call.
Any added work found during inspection, such as a seized deadbolt that needs repair or replacement.

Why Lakewood chooses us

In business since 1987, with long experience on the builder-grade Kwikset hardware common in Lakewood's 1950s ranch homes.
Honest recommendations: if a lock is too worn to rekey well, we say so rather than sell you work you do not need.
Keyed-alike setups handled on site, so you can reduce a ring of keys to one.
Residential and commercial capability, from a family ranch house to a storefront with several staff keys.
The same locksmith team handles lockouts, repairs, and replacements, so one call covers whatever your doors turn out to need.

Lock Rekeying across Lakewood

Lakewood's housing makes rekeying especially common. In Lakewood Park, a resale of a 1950s tract home often still runs its original builder Kwikset lockset, so rekey-on-sale calls are routine. New owners in ZIP code 90712 or 90713 frequently ask us to rekey every exterior door right after closing, because nobody can say how many copies of the original keys exist after decades of owners, renters, and repair visits.

Doors in the older neighborhoods can have their own quirks. In Carson Park, for instance, a mid-century deadbolt can seize in the jamb after years of settling and use, turning a simple lockout into a repair job. In Lakewood Village, the same uniform stucco ranch layout means similar door and lock configurations from one block to the next, which helps us plan the parts we bring. We serve all of Lakewood's ZIP codes: 90711, 90712, 90713, 90714, and 90715.

Our work here is not only residential. Lakewood Center anchors a large retail and commercial core, and tenants there, along with businesses near The Centre at Sycamore Plaza, sometimes need a storefront rekey and master-key setup when new staff come on board. Whether we are coming from near Lakewood Blvd, Del Amo Blvd, or Carson St, or reaching you from I-605 or SR-91, we travel to you. You can also reach us by phone at any hour for a locksmith near Rynerson Park or Mayfair Park.
