Rekeying is the practical answer when you want to control who holds a working key without replacing hardware. The lock stays on the door, but its internal pins are reset to match a new key. Every old copy, whether it sits in a former tenant's pocket, a laid-off employee's drawer, or a contractor's truck, simply stops turning the cylinder.

Santa Fe Springs is an unusual city for this work because it covers two very different worlds. Much of the land is industrial: warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution yards along Telegraph Rd, Shoemaker Ave, and Imperial Hwy. Residential life is concentrated in places like Los Nietos, with modest post-war single-family homes, and around the Heritage Park district. Rekeying matters in both, but the details differ a great deal.

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. There is no storefront to visit, so the work happens at your door, on your schedule, around the clock.

How it works in Santa Fe Springs

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you have: a house you just bought in Los Nietos, a set of office doors, or a tool crib and server room. Tell us how many locks are involved and whether they are standard residential cylinders, commercial cylinders, or restricted keyways. That lets us bring the right pinning kits and key blanks.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    We are 24/7 and fully mobile, so a technician drives to your property with the tools needed to rekey on the spot. Whether it is a single-family home near Heritage Park or a logistics building off Telegraph Rd, the work happens where the locks are installed.

  3. 3

    Inspect each cylinder

    Before taking anything apart, we check each lock's brand, keyway, and condition. A worn or damaged cylinder may not hold a clean rekey, and we will say so plainly. Restricted systems such as Medeco or Mul-T-Lock are handled according to their patented requirements, and we explain what that involves.

  4. 4

    Rekey the pins to a new key

    We remove the cylinder, replace the pins to match the new key, and reassemble it. The old key will no longer operate the lock. For multiple doors, we can key them alike so one key works throughout, or keep them separate, or fit them into a master-key arrangement for a business.

  5. 5

    Test every lock

    We try the new key on each lock several times, confirm that the deadbolt throws smoothly, and check that an old key is rejected. You get the new keys in hand before we leave.

  6. 6

    Talk through key control

    For businesses, we discuss who should hold which key, how to handle future staffing changes, and whether a restricted keyway makes sense so keys cannot be casually copied at a hardware counter.

What affects the price

  • The number of locks or cylinders being rekeyed, since each one must be opened, repinned, and tested.
  • The type of lock: standard residential deadbolts differ from commercial mortise cylinders, and restricted keyways like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock involve specialized parts and procedures.
  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike, keyed separately, or built into a master-key system with multiple access levels.
  • The number of new keys you need cut, and whether they are standard keys or restricted keys that require authorization.
  • Condition of the existing hardware: a worn cylinder may need replacement instead of rekeying.
  • Time of day and urgency, since after-hours and same-day calls are handled by our 24/7 mobile service.

Why Santa Fe Springs chooses us

  • We have been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, so we have seen most lock types in homes and industrial buildings alike.
  • Fully mobile means no shop trip: we rekey at your door, including at warehouse and manufacturing sites where you cannot shut down operations.
  • We handle both residential and commercial-grade hardware, from post-war homes in Los Nietos to panic devices, mortise locks, and restricted keyways.
  • We tell you honestly when a lock should be replaced rather than rekeyed, instead of repinning something worn out.
  • Availability is 24/7, which matters when a layoff, break-in, or move-in happens outside business hours.
  • The owner, David Shar, leads the work, so there is accountability behind the service.

Lock Rekeying across Santa Fe Springs

Santa Fe Springs sits between I-5 and I-605, with Telegraph Rd, Imperial Hwy, and Norwalk Blvd carrying most local traffic. The Santa Fe Springs Industrial District, centered on the Telegraph Rd and Shoemaker Ave corridor, is where much of our commercial rekeying happens. A manufacturer, for example, may need a restricted-keyway rekey of its server room, tool crib, and executive offices after a layoff, so former employees' keys no longer work. A logistics tenant may need a master-key system expanded for a new hire group.

Residential rekeying tends to come from the older Los Nietos pocket, where modest post-war single-family homes often change hands and the prior owners' keys remain unaccounted for. Around the Heritage Park district, near the Clarke Estate on Pioneer Blvd and Town Center Hall, homeowners and small offices call after moves, lost keys, or a change in who lives or works at the property. Rekeying every exterior lock to one new key is a common, tidy fix.

We serve addresses across ZIP codes 90670 and 90671, from homes to yards and plants. If you work near the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet or on a distribution lot, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you, any hour.

Lock Rekeying in Santa Fe Springs — 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. Replacement installs a new lock. Rekeying is usually the simpler choice when the hardware is in good shape. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can advise.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Los Nietos?
Yes, it is a sensible step. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist. Rekeying every exterior lock to one new key gives you control from day one without replacing the doors' hardware.
Can you rekey commercial locks at a Telegraph Rd or Shoemaker Ave facility?
Yes. We work on commercial cylinders, mortise locks, and master-key systems, and can come to your site at any hour. Describe the doors when you call (323) 997-8867 so we bring the right parts.
Can you rekey Medeco or Mul-T-Lock restricted keyways?
We work with restricted keyway systems, though they involve specialized parts and authorization procedures. Tell us the brand when you call so we can plan accordingly.
Will my old keys still work after rekeying?
No. Once the pins are changed, the old keys will not turn the lock. We test each lock to confirm that before we leave.
Can all my locks be keyed to the same key?
Usually yes, provided the locks share a compatible keyway or brand. Many homeowners prefer one key for the front door, back door, and garage entry. We can also keep locks separate or build a master-key setup for a business.
Do I need to visit a shop?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile with no storefront. We come to your home, office, or yard anywhere in Santa Fe Springs, including ZIP codes 90670 and 90671.
Can you rekey after hours or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. If a layoff, move-in, or security concern cannot wait, call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
