Pomona has one of the more varied housing stocks in Los Angeles County, and the locks on those homes vary just as much. A Queen Anne Victorian in the Lincoln Park Historic District may still carry its original brass mortise lock, while a 1980s tract home in Phillips Ranch uses the same standard cylinder you would find in thousands of other houses. A good residential locksmith has to be comfortable with both, and that is how we approach every call here.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are a mobile-only service. There is no storefront to drive to; we bring our tools, key-cutting capability and a range of hardware to your door, whether that is a house in Ganesha Hills, an apartment court near the campuses, or a bungalow in Westmont.

Residential work covers more than lockouts. We rekey locks after a move, a breakup or a lost key, replace worn or damaged hardware, repair sticking deadbolts and latches, and upgrade doors to better security. We are available around the clock, so a problem at night or on a weekend does not have to wait until morning.

How it works in Pomona

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any hour and tell us what is happening: a lockout, a jammed lock, a rekey after a move, or an upgrade you are planning. Details such as the type of door, the age of the home and the brand of lock, if you know it, help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician travels to your address in Pomona. We do not promise a specific arrival time, but we will keep you informed about when to expect us as we are dispatched.

  3. 3

    Verify and assess

    Before opening or changing any lock, we confirm that you live at the property or are authorized to be there. Then we inspect the hardware, whether a modern deadbolt, a knob set, or an older mortise lock, and explain your options plainly.

  4. 4

    Do the work on site

    We open the door with as little damage as we can, or we rekey, repair or replace the hardware right there. On older homes we look first at servicing or rekeying original hardware before suggesting a swap, so period character is preserved when possible.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We operate every lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, check alignment and strike plates, and hand over working keys. We walk you through what was done so you know exactly what changed.

What affects the price

  • The type of job: a lockout, a rekey, a repair and a full replacement involve different amounts of labor and parts.
  • The lock itself: standard residential cylinders, high-security cylinders, smart locks and antique mortise sets differ in parts cost and in the skill needed.
  • The number of locks or doors, such as rekeying a single house versus several apartment units in one visit.
  • The condition of existing hardware, including whether a worn, damaged or corroded lock can be serviced or must be replaced.
  • The time and location of the call, since after-hours service and travel distance within our service area can affect the final quote.

Why Pomona chooses us

  • Serving the Los Angeles area since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work, so experience with older hardware is not an afterthought.
  • Comfort with antique and mortise locks, which matters in Pomona's historic districts where a simple deadbolt swap is often not the right answer.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, with no storefront, so the work happens at your door.
  • Multi-unit rekeying in a single visit for landlords handling tenant turnover.
  • Plain explanations of your options before work begins, with no pressure to replace what can be repaired.

Residential Locksmith across Pomona

Pomona's residential character changes block by block. In the Lincoln Park Historic District, large Victorians and Craftsman homes often have original mortise locks, skeleton-key door sets and transom hardware. We service or rekey these where we can, so the front door keeps its character while working reliably again. Ganesha Hills, with its 1920s to 1940s period revival homes, often combines older entry hardware with later add-on deadbolts that may be mismatched or worn.

Farther out, Phillips Ranch and the stucco subdivisions near Cal Poly Pomona are mostly 1970s and 1980s tract homes and newer builds with standard cylinders, where rekeys, replacements and upgrades are quick and straightforward. Near Cal Poly Pomona and Western University of Health Sciences, mid-century apartment courts and student rentals turn over tenants regularly, and landlords can have several units rekeyed in one mobile visit before new move-ins. Westmont and the Downtown Pomona Arts Colony, with its loft conversions near the dA Center for the Arts, bring their own mix of door types.

We work across Pomona's ZIP codes, including 91766, 91767, 91768 and 91769, and reach homes off I-10, SR-60, SR-57 and SR-71, as well as along Holt Ave and Garey Ave. Whether you are near Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, Antique Row on 2nd Street or Fairplex, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Residential Locksmith in Pomona — FAQs

Do you offer residential locksmith service in Pomona at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe your situation, and we will dispatch a mobile technician to your Pomona address.
Can you work on the original mortise locks in Lincoln Park Victorians?
Often, yes. Many older homes in the Lincoln Park Historic District have original brass mortise locks or skeleton-key sets. We can usually service a jammed mortise lock or rekey it in a way suited to the period, rather than just swapping in a modern deadbolt. We inspect first and explain what is possible.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key works and old keys no longer do, while the hardware stays in place. Replacement installs new hardware. Rekeying is often the better choice after a move or lost key if the lock is in good condition.
Can a landlord near Cal Poly Pomona have several units rekeyed at once?
Yes. We are mobile, so we can rekey multiple apartment or rental units in one visit between tenants. Call (323) 997-8867 ahead of move-in dates to talk through the number of locks and how you want keys organized.
Do I need to prove I live at the property?
Yes. Before opening or changing a lock, we ask for reasonable verification that you live there or are authorized to have access. It protects residents and is a normal part of responsible locksmith work.
Do you have a shop I can visit in Pomona?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only. We bring tools and hardware to your door, so there is nothing to drive to. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange service.
How is the price of a residential job determined?
It depends on the type of work, the lock hardware, how many locks are involved, the condition of the existing lock and the time and location of the call. We explain the factors and give you a clear quote before starting.
Can you help with a seized padlock or storage lock during the LA County Fair?
Yes. We handle emergency on-site cutting and replacement of seized padlocks, including for vendors setting up at Fairplex. While our focus on this page is residential work, you can reach us any time at the same number.
