Most people think of key duplication as a quick stop at a hardware counter. In Westlake Village that is not always practical, and it is not always possible. Many keys here are high-security, restricted or tied to a gate, a mailbox bank or an HOA-managed common area, and a counter machine cannot or will not copy them. Crenshaw Lock Company brings the cutting equipment to you, so the copy is made where the lock is and can be tested against it before we leave.

We are a fully mobile locksmith. There is no storefront to visit, which means no drive to a shop, no waiting in line and no leaving a key behind. David Shar has run the business since 1987, and that experience matters on duplication jobs, because the right approach depends on the key: a standard house key, a dimple or sidebar key, a mailbox key, a commercial office key or a restricted key that requires authorization.

Whether you are a homeowner on Westlake Island who wants spare keys for family and a house sitter, a property manager sorting out keys after a tenant turnover, or an HOA board member who needs extra mailbox keys, we can usually handle it in a single visit. If a key is restricted and cannot be copied without authorization, we will tell you plainly and explain the proper route instead of cutting something that will not work or should not be made.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Tell us what needs copying

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the keys: house, office, mailbox, gate or something stamped with a restriction. Tell us roughly how many copies you need and where in Westlake Village you are. We will let you know whether the job is straightforward or needs extra steps.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, the work happens at your door, your office suite or your HOA common area. We are available around the clock, so duplication is not limited to business hours when a copy is needed urgently.

  3. 3

    Identify the key and its lock

    We look at the keyway, the key's condition and the lock it belongs to. A worn original can produce a poor copy, so we check how the key actually turns the lock. Restricted or patented keyways are flagged at this point.

  4. 4

    Cut the copies

    We cut the new keys on location, matching the original's cuts to the lock. For worn keys we may cut from the lock's code or by working from the cylinder rather than copying the wear forward.

  5. 5

    Test every copy

    Each new key is tried in the lock it was made for, repeatedly, and checked for smooth entry and turning. We do not hand you a key that sticks, catches or only works with a jiggle.

  6. 6

    Review and next steps

    We hand over the keys and talk through anything worth knowing, such as rekeying if you are unsure who holds old copies, or labelling keys for a family or tenants. If something should be rekeyed rather than copied, we say so.

What affects the price

  • The type of key: a standard residential key is a simpler cut than a high-security, dimple, sidebar or restricted key that needs special blanks or authorization.
  • The number of copies requested, since larger batches for offices, tenants or an HOA take more cutting and testing time.
  • The condition of the original key, because a badly worn key may need to be re-cut from the lock rather than simply duplicated.
  • Whether the key is restricted and requires authorization or proof of ownership before it can be cut.
  • The time of day and location of the visit, as 24/7 mobile service outside regular hours is handled differently from a scheduled daytime appointment.
  • Whether other work is bundled in, such as rekeying a lock, servicing a gate lock or adding mailbox keys during the same visit.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile service means the key is cut and tested at the actual lock, so there is no guessing whether a copy from a counter machine will work at home.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, we are familiar with the range of residential, commercial and HOA locks in use around Westlake Village.
  • We are straightforward about restricted keys: if a key cannot or should not be copied without authorization, we explain the legitimate path rather than cutting it anyway.
  • We handle more than house keys, including office, mailbox and gate keys, so one visit can cover a home, a small office or an HOA's common areas.
  • We can advise when rekeying makes more sense than copying, for example after a tenant turnover or when old copies are unaccounted for.
  • Available 24/7, so a lost-key situation or a last-minute need for spares does not have to wait for a store to open.

Key Duplication across Westlake Village

Westlake Village sits at the Los Angeles and Ventura County line, and its ZIP codes, 91361, 91362 and 91359, are shared with Thousand Oaks. Our mobile service covers the city from Westlake Boulevard and Lindero Canyon Road to the stretches along Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Agoura Road, with easy access off the Ventura Freeway (US-101).

On Westlake Island, lakefront homes often combine a gate, a front door lock and sometimes a smart lock, and homeowners want several working copies for family, caretakers and service providers. Lake air can be hard on hardware, so we check how keys are turning and cut copies that work smoothly. In the First Neighborhood and Three Springs, the housing mix of 1970s and 80s master-planned homes, gated estates and newer custom builds means a wide variety of keyways, and many households also rely on gate and intercom systems alongside standard keys.

Condos and townhomes near The Promenade and The Shoppes at Westlake Village often have HOA-managed common locks and mailbox banks, where a board or manager needs extra keys or a clear record of who has them. Corporate office parks and aluminum-storefront retail in the business district have their own needs, usually multiple copies of commercial keys after tenants move in or out. We come to the property, cut what is needed and test it on site.

Key Duplication in Westlake Village — FAQs

Can you duplicate keys at my home in Westlake Village without me going to a store?
Yes. We are fully mobile and cut keys on location at your home, office or HOA property. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what keys you need copied.
Do you offer key duplication after hours?
We are available 24/7. If you need spare keys urgently outside regular business hours, call (323) 997-8867 and we will discuss the job and schedule the visit.
Can you copy a key marked 'Do Not Duplicate'?
That marking is not always a legal restriction, but we do not cut keys for truly restricted keyways without proper authorization. We will explain what is possible and what documentation may be needed.
Can you make mailbox keys for our HOA?
Yes, we cut mailbox keys and can work with common-area locks for townhome and condo communities. If the mailbox locks need rekeying instead, we can discuss that as well.
My original key is worn. Will the copy work?
Copying a worn key can pass the wear along to the new one. We test each copy in the lock and, when needed, cut from the lock's code or cylinder instead so the key operates smoothly.
Can you duplicate keys for an office or commercial space?
Yes. We cut office, storefront and master-system keys on site. After tenant turnover, we may also suggest rekeying so that old copies no longer work.
Do you copy smart lock or gate keys?
We can cut the mechanical keys that go with smart locks, gates and multipoint locks. Electronic credentials and fobs are a separate matter, so describe your system when you call (323) 997-8867.
Should I copy keys or rekey the lock?
If you know exactly who has keys, copying is fine. If you are unsure about old copies, for instance after a move or tenant change, rekeying is usually the safer choice. We can advise based on your situation.
