Rekeying is the practical answer to a simple question: who else still has a key to my door? After buying a home in Valencia, ending a tenancy, parting ways with a contractor, or losing a key ring, you can't know how many copies are floating around. Rekeying changes the inside of the lock so only the new key turns it, and the old keys become useless.

In most cases the lock itself stays on the door. Our technician removes the cylinder, replaces the pin configuration, and cuts new keys to match. That is usually a better value than replacing hardware, especially in a master-planned community like Valencia where many homes have builder-grade locks that are still in perfectly good condition. If a lock is worn, damaged, or poorly made, we will tell you honestly and discuss replacement or an upgrade instead.

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-cutting equipment to your door, whether it is a townhome near McBean Parkway or a suite in a Valencia business park.

How it works in Valencia

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night. Tell us how many locks need rekeying, what type they are (deadbolts, knob sets, handlesets), and whether this is a new purchase, a tenant turnover, or a lost-key situation.

  2. 2

    Mobile visit to your Valencia address

    Our technician drives to you with the equipment needed for the work. If you live in a gated community such as Westridge or Tesoro del Valle, let us know so we can plan around the gate and any HOA visitor procedures.

  3. 3

    Inspect each lock

    Before disassembling anything, we check that every lock operates smoothly and is a good candidate for rekeying. Brands differ, and some cheap or worn hardware is better replaced. We explain the options before we proceed.

  4. 4

    Rekey the cylinders

    We remove the cylinders, swap in new pins matched to a new key cut, and reassemble. We can key multiple locks alike so one key opens the front door, back door, and garage entry.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We test each lock with the new key and confirm the old key no longer works. You receive your new keys, and we can cut extra copies on the spot.

  • Whether you want all locks keyed alike or each on its own key.

Lock Rekeying across Valencia

Valencia was developed by Newhall Land beginning in 1965 as a master-planned community, and its paseo-connected villages shape the kind of rekey work we see. Many homes in Northbridge, Bridgeport, and Old Orchard are HOA tract homes, townhomes, and condos with original builder-grade locks. A rekey is a sensible, economical step after a purchase, especially when you don't know who held keys from previous owners, tenants, or service providers.

In gated neighborhoods like Westridge and Tesoro del Valle, a new homeowner often needs the door locks rekeyed and also has to sort out gate access with the HOA. We can schedule the rekey around your move-in and work with the entry process. Valencia Summit and the newer Five Point developments also bring requests, including upgrades from standard locks to better hardware. If you're in ZIP code 91355 or 91354, we serve both.

On the business side, the Valencia Industrial Center and Commerce Center are home to many tenants who need rekeying, master-key setups, or panic bar service when they take over a suite. Whether you are near Westfield Valencia Town Center, close to CalArts, along Valencia Blvd, Magic Mountain Pkwy, or Newhall Ranch Rd, or just off I-5, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Lock Rekeying in Valencia — FAQs

What does rekeying a lock mean?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so a new key works and the old keys no longer do. The lock hardware stays on your door. It's a common step after buying a home or losing a key.
Should I rekey after buying a home in Valencia?
It is generally a good idea. You can't know how many copies of the old keys exist. Rekeying gives you control of access, whether your home is in Westridge, Tesoro del Valle, or another Valencia village. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?
Often it is, because we reuse your existing hardware. If your locks are damaged, worn, or low quality, replacement may be the better choice, and we will give you an honest recommendation.
Can all my doors work with one key?
Yes. We can key front, back, and garage entry locks alike so a single key opens them all, or keep them separate if you prefer.
Do you work in gated communities?
Yes. Let us know the community and any gate procedure when you call (323) 997-8867, and we will plan the visit accordingly. Your HOA may have its own rules for contractor access.
Can you rekey a business lock or set up a master-key system?
Yes. We handle commercial rekeying and master-key systems for tenants in business parks such as the Valencia Industrial Center and Commerce Center, as well as panic bar hardware.
Do I need to be home during the rekey?
Someone authorized should be present so we can access the doors and hand over the new keys. If you're arranging a move-in or turnover, tell us when you call.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your location in Valencia, 24/7. Reach us at (323) 997-8867.
