Rekeying is one of the simplest ways to take back control of who can get into your property. Instead of replacing hardware, we change the internal pin configuration of the lock you already have, so the old keys stop working and a new key operates it. The lock, the finish, and the look of your door all stay the same. In Rolling Hills Estates, where many homes are well-kept and owners prefer to keep original hardware, that is often the right choice.

People usually call us after a life change: you just bought a home and have no idea how many copies of the keys are out there, a tenant has moved out, a contractor or house sitter had access, or a set of keys went missing. Rekeying answers all of these without the cost and fuss of a full hardware swap. It is also a practical step after a divorce, a roommate departure, or any time you simply are not sure who holds a key.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. Our technician drives to you with the tools and key blanks needed, works on site, and tests every lock before leaving. We are available 24/7, so you do not have to wait for business hours to feel secure in your own home.

How it works in Rolling Hills Estates

  1. 1

    Call and describe the locks

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us how many locks need rekeying, what kinds they are (entry deadbolts, knobs, garage side doors, gates, outbuildings), and what brand they are if you know. This helps us bring the right parts and tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm access and the reason for rekeying

    When we arrive, we confirm you are authorized to have the locks changed, such as the owner or the tenant with permission. We then look over each lock to check that it is in good working condition and suited to rekeying.

  3. 3

    Remove and disassemble each cylinder

    We take out the cylinder, release the plug, and remove the old pins. Working at your door means the job is done where the lock lives, with no need to leave your property exposed while hardware is off-site.

  4. 4

    Rebuild to a new key pattern

    We install new pins matched to a fresh key cut. The lock now works with the new key, and any old key, including copies you never knew existed, will no longer turn it.

  5. 5

    Key all locks alike if you want

    Many households want one key for the front door, back door, and side gate. We can pin multiple locks to the same key so you carry one key instead of a ring of them.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over the keys

    We test every lock several times with the new keys and confirm the old ones fail. Then we hand you the keys and point out any worn hardware worth replacing later, with no pressure.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks being rekeyed, since each cylinder takes hands-on time
  • The type of lock, such as standard deadbolts, knobsets, high-security cylinders, or commercial mortise cylinders
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or each on its own key
  • The number of new keys you need cut
  • The condition of the hardware, since worn or damaged locks may need repair or replacement rather than rekeying
  • The time of day and location of the visit, including after-hours and late-night requests

Why Rolling Hills Estates chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the work to your door, and there is no shop to drive to
  • Available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, with no waiting for a business-hours appointment

  • Honest advice: if a lock is too worn to rekey well, we say so rather than sell you more than you need

Lock Rekeying across Rolling Hills Estates

Rolling Hills Estates has a mix of housing that shapes how we rekey. Many homes in neighborhoods like Chandler Ranch and Georgeff Canyon are 1960s-70s ranch and split-level houses, often with original entry hardware and several exterior doors. A rekey brings those older locks up to date on key control without changing the look of the home. If you have just bought in 90274 or 90275, rekeying is a smart first step before you move in.

The equestrian-zoned properties in Dapplegray bring their own needs. A horse property may have a main house, a barn, a tack room, and gates, all with separate keys that may have been handed to tenants, trainers, or ranch hands over the years. After a tenant move-out, we can rekey the house and outbuildings, and key them alike if you want a single key. Homes near the bridle trails often have side and rear doors that are used more than the front, so we make sure each one is covered.

For townhomes and condos near Silver Spur Road, we rekey entry deadbolts and knobs in a way that works within shared-building rules. Business owners around Peninsula Center and the Promenade on the Peninsula often have aluminum-frame glass doors with mortise cylinders or deadlatches, and we can rekey those too. Whether you are off Hawthorne Boulevard, Palos Verdes Drive North, Crenshaw Boulevard, or Deep Valley Drive, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Rolling Hills Estates — 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. Replacing means installing new hardware. Rekeying is usually the more economical choice when your locks are in good shape.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Rolling Hills Estates?
Yes, it is a good idea. You cannot know how many copies the previous owners, agents, or contractors kept. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can rekey your exterior locks so only your new keys work.
Can you rekey my horse property and outbuildings in Dapplegray?
Yes. We can rekey the house, barn, tack room, and gates, and key them alike if you want one key. This is especially useful after a tenant moves out.
Will my existing keys still work after rekeying?
No. Once the lock is rekeyed, the old keys will not turn it. Only the new keys you receive will work.
Can all my locks use the same key?
Usually, yes, as long as the locks are compatible brands or can be pinned to a common keyway. We can discuss your options when we look at your doors.
Can you rekey commercial doors at Peninsula Center?
We can rekey many commercial cylinders, including those on aluminum-frame glass doors. Let us know the door type when you call (323) 997-8867 so we can bring the right tools.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile with no storefront. We come to your home or business and do the work on site.
Do you offer rekeying at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will talk through what you need.
