A dead key fob in the Whizin's Market Square lot, a door locked with the keys inside after a hike near Paramount Ranch, or a worn ignition that finally refuses to turn on Kanan Road: vehicle lock trouble rarely picks a convenient moment. Crenshaw Lock Company is a fully mobile locksmith, so the shop comes to your car instead of the other way around. There is no storefront to drive to, and no need to tow a vehicle just to get a key made.
Our automotive work covers cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleet vehicles. That includes lockout entry, replacement and spare keys, transponder and smart-key programming, broken key extraction, ignition and door lock repair, and rekeying a vehicle's locks. David Shar, owner and lead technician, has led the business since 1987, and that long history with mechanical locks and changing vehicle security informs how we approach each job.
Agoura Hills has a mix of commuters on US-101, families in planned communities, horse-property owners with trucks and trailers, and small businesses along Agoura Road. Each has different needs, from a single spare key to several work vehicles that all need attention. We try to explain what is wrong, what the options are, and what affects the cost before work begins, so there are no surprises.
How it works in Agoura Hills
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the make, model and year, where the vehicle is, and what happened: keys locked inside, lost keys, a broken key, or a fob that stopped working. Those details help us decide what tools and key blanks to bring.
- 2
We drive to your vehicle
Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, we meet you at your car, whether that is a driveway in Morrison Ranch, a parking space near Chumash Park, or a roadside pullout off Agoura Road. Please be ready to confirm that the vehicle is yours.
- 3
Verify ownership and assess
Before any work, we ask for reasonable proof of ownership, such as registration and ID. Then we inspect the lock, ignition or key system to confirm the problem and explain the options plainly.
- 4
Perform the work on site
For a lockout, we use professional entry methods designed to avoid damaging paint, weatherstripping or wiring. For keys, we cut and program on site where the vehicle supports it. For ignition or lock repair, we replace or service the failing part.
- 5
Test everything before we leave
We try every new key in the doors, trunk and ignition, check that remotes and push-start functions work, and make sure old keys are handled as agreed. You get a clear explanation of the work completed.

What affects the price
- Vehicle make, model and year, since newer and European models often use more complex key and immobilizer systems than older vehicles.
- The type of key involved: a basic mechanical key, a transponder key, a remote head key, or a smart proximity fob each take different equipment and programming.
- Whether you still have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which can require generating a key from the vehicle itself.
- The nature of the job: a simple lockout, a broken key extraction, or an ignition cylinder repair involve very different amounts of labor and parts.
- Time of day and location, since service at night, on weekends or in more remote spots may differ from a daytime call nearby.
- The number of vehicles or keys, as fleet work or several spares at one visit can be handled together more efficiently.
Why Agoura Hills chooses us
- Fully mobile by design: no shop to visit, no towing to a dealer just for a key, and service available around the clock.
- Experience since 1987 under owner David Shar, covering both traditional mechanical locks and modern transponder systems.
- One service for many vehicles: cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, which suits Agoura Hills households with trailers, work trucks and recreational vehicles.
- Careful entry methods aimed at avoiding damage to doors, paint and electronics when we open a locked car.
- Plain explanations of the problem and the factors that influence cost before work starts, with no pressure to add unneeded services.
- Ownership verification on every job, which protects you as much as it protects us.
Automotive Locksmith across Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills sits along US-101 at the western edge of Los Angeles County, and vehicles here see a lot of mixed use: freeway commuting, canyon drives toward Malibu, and trips to trailheads and Paramount Ranch. In ZIP code 91301, we regularly expect calls from places like Whizin's Market Square, where a fob dies or keys end up locked in a car after a meal or a workout, and from the quieter streets of Morrison Ranch, where a spare key is often the simple fix a family has been putting off.
Old Agoura brings a different kind of call. Horse properties and ranch homes there often mean pickup trucks, tow vehicles and trailers parked on long driveways, sometimes well off the road and behind gates. Mobile service suits that setting, since we can come to the barn or the driveway instead of asking you to move a truck. Lake Lindero residents in the condos and townhomes nearby often just need a spare key or a lost-key replacement without the hassle of arranging a tow.
Business owners along Agoura Road, Kanan Road and Cornell Road can also call us for work vehicles and small fleets, including keys for multiple vehicles at once. Whether you are in 91301 or 91376, or stranded beneath Ladyface Mountain with a locked car, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
