A lockout never picks a convenient time. In Agoura Hills it might be a seized deadbolt on a hot afternoon off Kanan Road, a ranch gate that will not latch at night in Old Agoura, or a cluster mailbox lock that has failed at a Lake Lindero townhome community. Emergency locksmith work means someone who answers the phone at any hour and comes to you with the tools to solve the problem on the spot.
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 drive to; our work happens in your driveway, at your barn, at your office door or beside your car. We are available 24/7, and we will not make promises about arrival times that traffic on the US-101 could make untrue.
Our approach is to open what is locked with as little damage as possible, then help you decide what to do next. Sometimes that means a simple entry and you are done. Often it means rekeying a lock, replacing worn hardware or securing a door that cannot be locked safely until it is fixed. We explain the options plainly and you decide.
How it works in Agoura Hills
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us where you are, what is locked or broken, and whether anyone, such as a child, pet or horse owner's livestock access, is affected. That helps us bring the right tools and hardware.
- 2
Dispatch to your Agoura Hills location
Because we are fully mobile, a technician heads straight to your home, ranch, business or vehicle. We do not quote arrival minutes, but we keep you informed and we are available around the clock.
- 3
Verify who you are
Before opening anything we ask for reasonable proof that you live at the property, own the vehicle or are authorized for the business. It protects you and your neighbors, and we do it every time.
- 4
Assess the lock and choose the least damaging entry
We look at the lock, door and hardware first. Where possible we use non-destructive methods. A deadbolt seized by heat or age may call for a different approach, and we will tell you why before we start.
- 5
Repair, rekey or replace
Once you are in, we talk through what makes sense. That might be rekeying so lost keys no longer work, replacing a worn deadbolt, or fixing a gate or padlock setup so the property is secure again tonight.
- 6
Test and confirm the property is secure
We operate every lock we touched, confirm the keys work smoothly and make sure doors and gates close and latch properly before we leave.

What affects the price
- The type of lock involved: a standard residential deadbolt, a high-security cylinder, a gate lock or a commercial storefront lock each call for different tools and time.
- Whether the lock can be opened without damage or has seized or broken and needs to be drilled or removed.
- What happens after entry: simple access, rekeying, or full hardware replacement, and the quality grade of any new hardware you choose.
- The time of day and the location, since late-night and holiday calls and more remote properties can affect the work involved.
- The number of locks: a single door is different from a barn with several padlocks, or a community's common-area and mailbox locks.
- Whether the job involves a vehicle, which adds key and transponder considerations compared with a house or business door.

Emergency Locksmith across Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills is a mix of housing that calls for different kinds of emergency lock work. The tract homes and planned communities built in the 1970s and 80s, including the neighborhoods around Morrison Ranch and off Kanan Road, often have original deadbolts that have worn or seized after decades of use and summer heat. When one of those fails with you outside, a quick entry followed by a rekey or a hardware upgrade is a common outcome.
Old Agoura has a very different character: semi-rural equestrian properties, barns and gated ranch homes. Here, emergencies involve driveway gate locks that no longer catch, barn padlocks that need rekeying or replacing, and tack and feed rooms that must stay secure. Near Lake Lindero, condos and townhomes bring community needs, such as common-area doors and cluster mailbox locks that an HOA may need rekeyed so access stays controlled. Hillside custom homes toward Ladyface Mountain and Malibu Canyon can add long driveways and unusual entry hardware.
We serve addresses throughout ZIP codes 91301 and 91376, from homes near Chumash Park to the aluminum-storefront shops and offices along Agoura Road and Kanan Road, and for drivers stuck near the US-101 or Cornell Road. Wherever you are in Agoura Hills, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
