A lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Agoura Hills it might be a quiet evening in Morrison Ranch when the front door swings shut with the keys on the kitchen counter, or an early morning when a deadbolt that has worked for decades finally seizes up. Either way, you are standing outside your own home and want back in without a broken door or a ruined lock.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on getting people inside without damage. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to; the work happens at your door, at any hour, every day of the year.
The homes here vary a lot, and so does the approach. A 1980s tract house with a worn deadbolt, a Lake Lindero townhome with a shared entry, a hillside custom home with high-security hardware and a gated Old Agoura ranch property each call for different tools and judgment. We look at the lock in front of us first, choose the least invasive way in, and only suggest repair or replacement if the lock actually needs it.
How it works in Agoura Hills
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us the address, what kind of door and lock you have if you know, and whether anyone, such as a child, a pet or something on the stove, is inside. That helps us prepare and prioritize.
- 2
Confirm who you are
Before opening any door we ask for reasonable proof that you live there or are authorized to enter, such as an ID with the address or other documentation. It protects residents and tenants alike, and it is a standard part of responsible locksmith work.
- 3
Assess the lock and door
On arrival we look at the lock type, the condition of the door and frame, and any extra hardware such as a secondary deadbolt or a gate. Most standard residential locks can be opened without drilling or force, and we pick the method that fits.
- 4
Open the door without damage
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible so the lock, door and finish stay intact. If a lock is seized, broken or high-security and cannot be opened cleanly, we explain the options before doing anything more invasive.
- 5
Check the lock and offer options
Once you are in, we test the lock. If it is failing, we can repair it, rekey it so lost keys no longer work, or replace it with better hardware. You decide; there is no pressure to add anything.
- 6
Confirm the cost and wrap up
We go over what was done and the cost before we finish, and make sure the door locks and operates smoothly when we leave.

What affects the price
- Time of day and urgency, since late-night, weekend and holiday calls involve different scheduling than a daytime visit.
- Lock type and condition: a standard deadbolt is a different job than a seized lock, a high-security cylinder or a smart lock.
- Where you are, including travel across Agoura Hills and the surrounding hillside and canyon areas.
- Whether you only need entry, or also want a rekey, repair or hardware replacement afterward.
- Number of locks involved, such as a main door plus a secondary deadbolt, side gate, barn or garage entry.
- Access complications, such as a long private drive, a closed gate or a door with unusual or older hardware.
Why Agoura Hills chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, so help comes to your door instead of asking you to go anywhere.
- In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work rather than handing it off to an unknown crew.
- Damage-free entry is the first choice; drilling or forcing a lock is a last resort, and we explain it first.
- We can handle the follow-up too: rekeying after lost keys, repairing a seized deadbolt, or upgrading hardware on the same visit.
- Familiar with the range of local property types, from tract homes and condos to hillside custom builds and gated horse properties.
- Clear communication about options and cost before the work is finalized, with no pressure to buy extras.
House Lockout across Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills is a mix of planned communities, hillside custom homes and semi-rural properties, and lockouts look different in each. In Morrison Ranch and the surrounding 1970s and 80s tract neighborhoods, the usual culprits are aging deadbolts that stick or fail, especially after a hot summer, and keys left inside after a quick trip to the mailbox. Many of those homes sit just off Kanan Road, and a seized deadbolt there is often a good moment to talk about a rekey or a hardware upgrade rather than another stopgap.
Around Lake Lindero, condos and townhomes bring their own questions: shared entries, HOA-managed common areas and cluster mailboxes. If you are locked out of a unit, we can get you in; if your HOA needs common-area locks rekeyed, that is a separate conversation we are glad to have. Up in Old Agoura, the equestrian properties often have worn driveway gate locks, barn padlocks and ranch-style entries, and a lockout may involve more than the front door. Homes toward the base of Ladyface Mountain can also have heavier custom hardware that benefits from a careful, unhurried approach.
We serve addresses throughout ZIP codes 91301 and 91376, whether you are near Agoura Road, Cornell Road or Chumash Park, or just off the US-101 Ventura Freeway. Because we are fully mobile, there is no shop to visit. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to wherever you are locked out.
