Rekeying is one of the simplest and most sensible security upgrades a Santa Clarita homeowner can make. Instead of replacing hardware, we adjust the pins inside your existing lock cylinders so they match a new key. The old keys, including copies you never knew existed, stop working. The locks stay on the door and look the same, but the key that opens them is different.

It matters here because so much of Santa Clarita is made up of master-planned tract homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s. Many carry builder-grade Kwikset or Schlage cylinders. When a house changes hands, the previous owners, their agents, contractors, and sometimes neighbors or relatives may still hold keys. Rekeying closes that door without a full hardware replacement.

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 work at your property, whether that is a two-story house with an attached garage, a townhome, or a condo, and we are reachable around the clock at (323) 997-8867.

How it works in Santa Clarita

  1. 1

    Tell us about your locks

    When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask how many exterior doors and other locks you want rekeyed, what brands they are, and why you are rekeying. A new-home purchase, a rental turnover, and a lost key each call for slightly different handling.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, the work happens at your door. A technician brings the tools, pinning kits, and key blanks needed to handle common residential cylinders on site.

  3. 3

    Inspect each cylinder

    We check every lock to confirm it works smoothly and can be rekeyed. Worn, damaged, or mismatched cylinders are flagged so you can decide whether a repair or replacement is wiser than rekeying.

  4. 4

    Rekey and match

    We remove each cylinder, replace the internal pins to fit a new key, and reinstall it. Front door, back door, side door, and garage entry locks can all be matched to one key so you carry only one.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We test every lock with the new key and confirm the old key no longer turns. You receive the new keys, and we can cut extra copies on request.

What affects the price

  • The number of cylinders being rekeyed, since each lock takes its own time and pinning.
  • The brand and condition of the locks, as standard builder-grade cylinders differ from high-security or older hardware.
  • Whether you want all locks matched to a single key or separate keys for different doors.
  • How many extra keys you need cut after the rekey.
  • Whether the lock turns out to be worn or damaged and needs repair or replacement rather than a simple rekey.
  • The time of day or night you call, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours service may be priced differently.

Why Santa Clarita chooses us

  • We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, so tract-home hardware like Kwikset and Schlage is familiar territory.
  • We are fully mobile, so we come to your home and never ask you to drive anywhere.
  • We are available 24/7, which helps when a closing, move-in, or lost key does not follow business hours.
  • We will tell you honestly when a lock should be replaced instead of rekeyed, rather than upselling.
  • We can match several exterior locks to one key, which simplifies life for a new homeowner or a landlord with multiple units.

Lock Rekeying across Santa Clarita

Santa Clarita is a collection of distinct communities, and each has its own lock needs. In Saugus, a new buyer in an HOA tract often wants every builder-grade exterior cylinder matched to a single key before moving in. In Valencia, around Valencia Blvd and Newhall Ranch Rd, newer developments and townhomes often combine standard deadbolts with garage entry doors that also need to be rekeyed. In Newhall and Old Town Newhall, older homes may have a mix of lock brands that call for a closer inspection first.

We work throughout the 91350, 91351, 91354, 91355, 91321, 91387, and 91390 ZIP codes. A rekey in 91350 might be a Saugus home that just closed escrow, while a call in 91351 could come from a Canyon Country household that lost a set of keys. Canyon Country also has gated communities where pedestrian-gate locks and keypad or fob access are separate from the home's own door locks, and we can help with those too.

Whether you are near College of the Canyons, close to William S. Hart Park, or off I-5 or CA-14, we come to your door. Rental owners near Soledad Canyon Rd and Bouquet Canyon Rd often rekey between tenants, and we can handle that at any hour. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.

Lock Rekeying in Santa Clarita — 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 hardware stays the same. Replacing swaps the whole lock. Rekeying is usually the simpler choice when the lock is in good shape. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can help you decide.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Santa Clarita?
Yes, it is a smart step. You cannot know who still has keys from previous owners, agents, or contractors. Rekeying all exterior locks to one new key gives you a clean start, which is common for new buyers in Saugus and Valencia tracts.
Can you rekey all my doors to the same key?
In most cases yes. We can match front, back, side, and garage entry locks to one key, as long as the cylinders are compatible. We check each lock during the visit.
Do you work on Kwikset and Schlage locks?
Yes. Builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage cylinders are very common on Santa Clarita tract homes, and we rekey them regularly. If your locks are another brand, tell us when you call.
Can you rekey at night or on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time to schedule.
What if my lock is damaged or too worn to rekey?
We will tell you honestly. If a cylinder is worn or broken, repair or replacement may be a better option. You decide before we do any extra work.
Can you help with HOA or gated community access?
We can service pedestrian-gate locks and keypad or fob systems at some gated communities, including in Canyon Country. Your HOA may have its own rules, so check with them first.
Do I need to be home during the rekey?
Someone should be present, or arrange access, so we can reach each lock and hand over the new keys. We will confirm the details when you book.
