Rekeying changes the inside of a lock so that a new key operates it and every old key becomes useless. The lock itself stays on the door. For most Moorpark homeowners that is the most sensible response to a move, a sale, a lost key, a former roommate, or a contractor who once had access to the house. You get the security of new locks without paying for new hardware or repainting and refitting a door.

Moorpark has a wide mix of buildings, and that matters for rekeying. Many homes in Peach Hill, Mountain Meadows, and Campus Park were built in the 1980s through the 2000s and use standard cylindrical knobs, levers, and deadbolts that rekey cleanly. Old Town Moorpark along High Street is different: early-20th-century bungalows and historic commercial buildings can still carry original mortise locks, and those need a more careful hand. Ranch and farm properties on the edge of town add gates, barn doors, and padlocks to the picture.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. We bring the tools and key-cutting equipment to you, and we work around the hours that suit you, including nights and weekends.

How it works in Moorpark

  1. 1

    Tell us what you have

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the property: how many exterior doors, whether there are deadbolts, gate locks, or padlocks, and what prompted the rekey. A new-home purchase in Mountain Meadows is a different job from a historic storefront on High Street, so these details help us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    We are a mobile service available around the clock. A technician drives to your home, rental, farm, or business with the equipment needed to work on site, so you never need to carry locks anywhere.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before any work, we look at the condition and type of every lock. Most modern cylinders can be rekeyed directly. Worn, damaged, or mismatched hardware is pointed out honestly, so you can decide whether rekeying or replacing makes more sense.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove each cylinder, change its internal pin configuration, and reassemble it to work with a new key. If you want every door on one key, we can match them together. Old keys are tested afterward to confirm they no longer turn the lock.

  5. 5

    Cut and test new keys

    We cut new keys on site and test them in every lock, checking that bolts throw smoothly and doors latch properly. We can make extra copies for family members, tenants, or staff while we are there.

  6. 6

    Review and next steps

    We walk you through what was done and note anything worth upgrading later, such as a worn deadbolt strike or a smart lock for a newer home. You leave knowing exactly who holds a working key.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks and cylinders being rekeyed, since each one is worked on individually.
  • The type of hardware: standard deadbolts and knobs are different from mortise locks, high-security cylinders, or smart lock bodies.
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or each kept on its own key.
  • How many keys you need cut, particularly for rentals, family homes, or businesses with several employees.
  • The condition of existing locks, since worn or damaged parts may need repair or replacement alongside the rekey.
  • Timing and location of the call, including after-hours service or a property farther out on the agricultural edge of the city.

Why Moorpark chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so the work happens at your door and there is no storefront trip.
  • In business since 1987, which means long experience with both modern tract-home hardware and older mortise locks.
  • Available 24/7, useful when you close on a house and want it secured the same day.
  • Honest recommendations: we tell you when rekeying is enough and when a lock is too worn to be worth keeping.
  • Comfortable with Moorpark's range of properties, from Old Town bungalows to subdivision homes to ranch gates and padlocks.
  • Led by owner David Shar, so you deal with a seasoned professional rather than a call-center script.

Lock Rekeying across Moorpark

Moorpark's housing tells you a lot about what rekeying will involve. In Peach Hill, Mountain Meadows, and Campus Park, most homes are suburban single-family houses with cylindrical locks and deadbolts, and resale activity is steady. Rekeying right after a purchase is a common request, and we can also help owners in newer subdivisions who are moving toward smart locks and want a clean key setup alongside them. Whether you are in the 93021 or 93020 ZIP code, we come to your driveway.

Old Town Moorpark along High Street is where the work gets more specialized. Bungalows and historic brick and wood commercial buildings near the High Street Arts Center may still use original mortise locks and even skeleton-key hardware. These locks deserve careful servicing or period-appropriate replacement rather than a quick swap, and we approach them that way.

Out along Los Angeles Ave (SR-118) near Underwood Family Farms, ranch and farm properties have different needs: barn padlocks, gate locks, and equipment security. We can cut replacement keys, rekey what can be rekeyed, and free a seized padlock. For commuters using the Moorpark Metrolink Station, students near Moorpark College, or families around Arroyo Vista Community Park, a call to (323) 997-8867 reaches us any hour.

Lock Rekeying in Moorpark — 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 stays on the door. Replacing swaps in new hardware. Rekeying is usually the more economical choice when the lock is in good shape.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Peach Hill or Mountain Meadows?
Yes, it is a smart habit. Previous owners, agents, contractors, and neighbors may all have had keys. Rekeying makes sure only the keys you hold will work. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule it.
Can you rekey the old mortise locks in Old Town Moorpark?
Often, yes. Many mortise locks can be rekeyed or serviced, though condition varies. We inspect first and tell you honestly whether servicing, rekeying, or a period-correct replacement suits a historic High Street building.
Can you make all my locks work with one key?
Usually. We can rekey compatible locks to share a single key, which is convenient for a house with several entrances. Locks from different brands or types sometimes limit this, and we will explain what is possible.
Do you offer rekeying at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will arrange service at your Moorpark property.
Will my old keys really stop working?
Yes. After rekeying, we test the old keys in the lock to confirm they no longer turn it. Only the newly cut keys will operate it.
Can you help with farm gate locks and padlocks?
Yes. For ranch and farm properties along Los Angeles Ave, we can cut replacement keys, rekey compatible padlocks and gate locks, and free a seized padlock where possible.
Do I need to bring my locks to a shop?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront, and do the work at your door. Having us come to you also means every lock is tested in place on the actual door.
