Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so that a new key operates it and every previous key becomes useless. The hardware stays on your door. Nothing needs to be replaced, which is why rekeying is the usual first step after buying a house, ending a tenancy, losing a key, or parting ways with a roommate, contractor or former employee. In a city as varied as Oxnard, the right approach depends heavily on what is actually on the door.

Oxnard is the most populous city in Ventura County, and its housing stock shows it. Beach cottages from the 1950s through the 1970s sit near newer multi-story coastal homes. RiverPark has modern homes and apartments from the 2000s. Around downtown and La Colonia you find older bungalows and dense, rental-heavy multifamily buildings where locks change hands often. Each of these calls for a slightly different conversation about what to rekey, what to repair and what to replace.

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 key stock to your door, rekey on site, and test every lock before we leave so you know each new key works smoothly.

How it works in Oxnard

  1. 1

    Call and describe the job

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us how many locks are involved, whether they are deadbolts, knob sets or padlocks, and why you want them rekeyed. A move-in, a tenant turnover and a lost key can each shape how we plan the visit.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician travels to your Oxnard address with rekeying tools and key stock. There is no shop to visit, and we work day or night, including weekends and holidays.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock first

    Before rekeying, we check that each lock is in good working shape. Near the coast, salt air can corrode keyways and seize deadbolts. If a lock is too worn or corroded to rekey reliably, we tell you plainly and show you the options.

  4. 4

    Rekey to a new key

    We remove the cylinder, replace the pins to match a new key and reassemble it. All locks can be keyed alike so you carry one key, or kept separate where you prefer. Old keys no longer turn the lock.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We operate every lock several times with the new key, confirm the old key fails, and check that the bolt throws fully into the strike. You receive your new keys and we answer any questions about extra copies.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks and cylinders being rekeyed, since each one is taken apart and repinned.
  • Whether you want every lock keyed alike or a separate key for each door.
  • The condition of the hardware. Corroded or seized deadbolts, common near the beach, may need repair or replacement rather than a simple rekey.
  • The brand and type of lock, including standard residential deadbolts versus high-security cylinders or commercial padlocks.
  • Whether you need master-keying with a hierarchy of keys, as in a multi-unit or warehouse setting.
  • The time of day and the location of the job within our service area.

Why Oxnard chooses us

  • Fully mobile service. We come to your door, so you do not have to carry locks anywhere or wait at a shop.
  • Available 24/7, so a rekey can happen the same night you realize a key is missing or a tenant has moved out.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work, so lock behavior across old bungalows, coastal homes and commercial buildings is familiar territory.
  • Honest recommendations. If a lock is worn or corroded beyond a good rekey, we say so instead of selling you work you do not need.
  • Experience with multi-unit turnover, including keying several doors alike or setting up a master-key system for property managers.
  • Every lock is tested with the new key and the old key before we leave.

Lock Rekeying across Oxnard

Oxnard's neighborhoods each present a different rekeying picture. In Oxnard Shores and Hollywood Beach, cottages and newer multi-story coastal homes share the same salt air, which seizes deadbolts and pits hinges and keyways over the years. A buyer in ZIP 93035 who wants the previous owner's keys to stop working may find that a lock needs attention beyond a simple rekey. We check the hardware first and replace only what has actually failed. The same goes near Silver Strand Beach and Oxnard State Beach, where the ocean is never far from the front door.

In La Colonia and the older neighborhoods around downtown, including areas near Heritage Square and the Carnegie Art Museum in ZIP 93030, rental-heavy multifamily buildings mean locks turn over constantly. Property managers and landlords call us to rekey between tenants so a former resident's key no longer opens the unit, often keying several doors alike or setting up a master system. In RiverPark, near The Collection at RiverPark in ZIP 93036, newer homes and apartments typically have modern hardware that rekeys cleanly, and residents often ask for it right after moving in.

We also serve the commercial side of Oxnard. Agricultural and industrial areas, with their packing houses and warehouses, rely on commercial padlocks and high-security hardware, and harbor businesses near Channel Islands Harbor have their own needs. We reach customers off US-101, Oxnard Blvd, Rice Ave, Rose Ave, Channel Islands Blvd, Victoria Ave, Wooley Rd and Vineyard Ave, including ZIP codes 93033 and 93036. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Oxnard — 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 keeping the same lock hardware. Replacing swaps the whole lock. Rekeying is usually the more economical choice when the lock is still in good condition. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can help you decide.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Oxnard?
Yes, it is a sensible first step. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist, including those held by previous owners, agents or contractors. Rekeying makes sure only the keys you hold will work.
Can you rekey locks that are corroded from salt air?
Sometimes. In Oxnard Shores, Hollywood Beach and other coastal spots, corrosion can seize a deadbolt or damage the keyway. We inspect first. If a lock can be rekeyed reliably we do it, and if not we recommend repair or replacement.
Do you rekey rental units between tenants?
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers in downtown, La Colonia and other multifamily areas. We can rekey a unit between tenants, key doors alike, or set up master keying. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Can all my doors work with one key?
In most cases, yes. We can rekey compatible deadbolts and knob sets to share a single key. Some locks of different brands or types may not be compatible, and we will tell you which can be combined.
Do you offer rekeying for businesses and warehouses?
Yes. We handle commercial rekeying, master-key systems and heavy-duty padlock replacement for businesses, including packing houses, warehouses, retail storefronts and harbor-area operations.
Do I need to be home for the rekey?
Someone authorized should be present or we should have clear arrangements for access, so we can confirm the locks and hand over the new keys. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can talk through your situation.
Is there a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so we come to your location in Oxnard instead of operating a storefront. We are available 24/7.
