A safe is only useful if you can open it when you need to. In Agoura Hills, that moment usually arrives at an inconvenient time: a combination that no longer works, a keypad that dies after the batteries leak, a dial that grinds, or a safe inherited from a relative with no paperwork. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around solving exactly these problems on-site.

We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. Safes are heavy, often bolted into a closet floor or tucked in a garage, and moving them is rarely a good idea. Instead we bring tools and expertise to your door, whether that is a 1980s tract home near Kanan Road, a hillside custom home below Ladyface Mountain, or a small office along Agoura Road.

Our safe work covers home and commercial safes: gun safes, fire safes, wall and floor safes, document safes and small business cash safes. We can open them, diagnose and repair lock mechanisms, service worn parts, and change combinations when a family member moves out, an employee leaves, or you simply no longer trust who knows the code. We are available around the clock, and we will tell you plainly what we find before any work begins.

How it works in Agoura Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the safe

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us the type of safe, the brand if you know it, whether it has a dial, keypad or key lock, and what is happening. Details like age, location and whether it is bolted down help us prepare the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership and access

    Before opening any safe we ask for reasonable proof that you own it or have the right to access the property. This protects you, and it protects us. A safe in a home, an estate situation or a business each calls for a slightly different conversation.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and safe

    On arrival we examine the lock type, the condition of the door and the likely cause of the problem. Dead batteries, a misaligned bolt work, worn dial parts and a forgotten code each call for a different approach.

  4. 4

    Open or repair with the least damage possible

    Wherever we can, we use non-destructive methods so the safe stays intact and keeps its security and fire rating. If a repair or part replacement is the better path, we explain it first so you can decide.

  5. 5

    Change the combination or reset the lock

    Once the safe is open, we can set a new combination, reprogram a keypad, or service the mechanism so it works smoothly. This is the right time to retire a code that others have known.

  6. 6

    Test and walk you through it

    We operate the lock several times with the door open and closed, confirm everything functions, and show you how to use and maintain it. We also share practical tips on battery care and where to keep your code record.

What affects the price

  • The type of safe: a basic document safe, a heavy gun safe, a wall safe and a high-security commercial safe differ greatly in how they are opened or repaired.
  • The lock style: mechanical dials, electronic keypads, key locks and biometric readers each involve different tools, parts and skill.
  • Whether the job is opening, repair or combination change, and whether more than one of these is needed in the same visit.
  • The safe's condition and age, including worn parts, damaged bolt work, or a previous failed attempt to force it open.
  • Access and location, such as a safe bolted into a hillside home closet, buried in a garage, or in a commercial back office.
  • Time of day, since nights, weekends and holidays can affect scheduling. We will explain how any of these apply to your job before starting.

Why Agoura Hills chooses us

  • Family-run experience since 1987, led by owner David Shar, rather than a call center sending whoever is free.
  • Fully mobile service, so your safe stays where it is and we bring the work to you.
  • A preference for non-destructive entry, which preserves the safe and its fire or security rating whenever possible.
  • Plain-spoken assessments: we tell you whether a safe can be repaired or whether replacement makes more sense.
  • 24/7 availability for urgent situations such as a safe holding medication, important documents or business deposits.
  • Familiarity with the range of Agoura Hills properties, from tract homes to horse properties and commercial storefronts.

Safe Locksmith across Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills has a mix of properties where safes show up in different ways. The 1970s and 80s tract homes and planned communities in Morrison Ranch and around Kanan Road often have a document or fire safe in a bedroom closet, sometimes installed decades ago and rarely serviced. Around Lake Lindero, condos and townhomes tend to have smaller safes in closets or utility spaces, where careful, tidy work matters in shared buildings.

Old Agoura is a different picture. Its semi-rural horse properties, barns and gated ranch homes may have a heavier gun safe in a garage or outbuilding, and the dust, heat and temperature swings out there can be tough on electronic keypads and old dials. Hillside custom homes toward Ladyface Mountain and the Malibu Canyon side sometimes have wall or floor safes built in during construction, with owners who never received the original combination.

We serve addresses throughout 91301 and 91376, reaching you from US-101, Kanan Road, Agoura Road or Cornell Road. Commercial customers, including offices and aluminum-storefront retail along Agoura Road and Kanan Road, call us for cash safes and office safes after staff changes. Wherever you are in Agoura Hills, call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

Safe Locksmith in Agoura Hills — FAQs

Can you open a safe if I forgot the combination?
Usually, yes. The method depends on the lock type and the safe's construction. We confirm ownership first, then use the least destructive approach available. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the safe.
Will opening my safe damage it?
We aim to open safes without damage, and in many cases that is achievable. If a drill point or repair is needed, we explain it beforehand, and we can repair or replace the lock afterward.
Do you service gun safes in Old Agoura and other Agoura Hills homes?
Yes. We open, repair and re-set combinations on gun safes at homes and outbuildings. We will ask for reasonable proof that you are the owner or authorized to have the safe opened.
Can you change the combination on my safe?
Yes. On many dial and keypad safes we can set a new combination once the lock is working properly. This is a good idea after a move, an inheritance, a separation or an employee departure.
My electronic keypad safe stopped responding. What should I do?
First try fresh batteries, since weak or leaking batteries are a common cause. If it still fails, do not force the door. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can diagnose whether it is the keypad, wiring or a mechanical issue.
Can you open a safe that came with a house I bought?
Often yes. Previous owners frequently leave safes without codes. We will ask for proof that you own the property, then work on opening it and, if you wish, set a combination only you know.
Do you work on commercial and business safes?
Yes. We handle office safes, cash safes and similar equipment at Agoura Hills businesses, including changing combinations after staff changes. Reach us at (323) 997-8867 to discuss your situation.
Do I need to bring the safe to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your home or business in Agoura Hills and do the work where the safe sits, which avoids the risk and difficulty of moving it.
