Agua Dulce is not a place where you can walk to the corner and find help when a key goes missing. Vehicles here do real work: trucks hauling trailers to equestrian properties, SUVs parked at trailheads near Vasquez Rocks, work vehicles on long gravel driveways, and cars making the daily run down CA-14. When a key is lost, locked inside, or broken in an ignition, the problem tends to happen far from anything convenient.

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 visit and no tow to a shop required. The work is done where your vehicle sits, whether that is a driveway, a hangar parking area, a dirt pullout, or a roadside shoulder.

Our automotive work covers lockouts, key replacement, broken-key extraction, ignition and lock repair, and fleet or multi-vehicle needs. Because vehicles differ so much, we ask a few questions up front about make, model, year, and what happened, so we know what to prepare before heading out. We are available around the clock, including nights and weekends.

How it works in Agua Dulce

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the vehicle's make, model and year, where it is, and what went wrong: locked out, lost key, broken key, or an ignition that won't turn. Details such as whether the keys are inside or truly lost help us plan the right approach.

  2. 2

    Confirm location and access

    Agua Dulce locations vary from highway pullouts to gated ranch driveways. We confirm the exact spot, any gate codes or access instructions, and whether the vehicle is safe where it sits, so we can find you without confusion.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before opening a vehicle or making a key, we ask for reasonable proof that it is yours, such as ID matched to registration or similar documentation. It protects you and keeps the work legitimate.

  4. 4

    Open, repair, or cut the key

    For a lockout we use methods intended to avoid damaging paint, weatherstripping, or door mechanisms. For lost or broken keys we extract broken pieces, cut a replacement, and program it where the vehicle requires it, all on site.

  5. 5

    Test everything before we leave

    We test the new key in the door, trunk or hatch, and ignition, and confirm remote functions where applicable. If something else is worn, like a sticky ignition cylinder, we tell you plainly and explain your options.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model and year, since newer keys with transponders or smart-key systems need more programming than a basic mechanical key.
  • The type of problem: a simple lockout differs from a lost-all-keys situation, a broken key in the ignition, or a damaged lock needing repair.
  • Time of day and urgency, because we serve 24/7 and late-night or holiday calls involve different demands than a scheduled daytime visit.
  • Distance and access to your location, including long rural drives, gated driveways or remote pullouts outside the town center.
  • Number of keys or vehicles involved, such as spare keys, duplicate fobs, or a fleet or ranch with several trucks.
  • Whether parts are needed, such as a replacement ignition cylinder, door lock, or specialty key blank for an RV or motorcycle.

Why Agua Dulce chooses us

  • Fully mobile service only, so the work happens at your vehicle rather than requiring a tow or a trip to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar overseeing how work is done.
  • Experience across cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, which suits Agua Dulce's mix of work trucks, trailers-towing rigs and recreational vehicles.
  • Honest guidance on what's worth repairing versus replacing, including telling you when a simple fix will do.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when you're stuck on a rural road at night with limited services nearby.
  • Ownership verification on every job, so we protect customers from unauthorized access to their vehicles.

Automotive Locksmith across Agua Dulce

In ZIP code 91390, vehicles live a hard life. Dust from desert wind works into door locks and ignition cylinders, and trucks bounce along Agua Dulce Canyon Rd, Escondido Canyon Rd and Davenport Rd carrying tack, feed and tools. Keys get dropped in arenas, left in barn jackets, or lost along a trail. We regularly think through the realities of that lifestyle: a key that fell out of a pocket in a pasture, or a door lock stiffened by grit.

Across the Agua Dulce townsite, Sweetwater, and the Agua Dulce Airpark, the setting changes but the need is the same. Airpark residents may park trucks and cars near hangars, and a locked-out vehicle at the end of a fly-in weekend is an unwelcome surprise. In Sweetwater and the townsite, many properties sit behind long driveways and gates, so we confirm access details when you call.

Visitors add another layer. Hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail, people at Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, and guests at the Agua Dulce Winery on Sierra Highway may find keys locked in a car far from home. Commuters on CA-14 sometimes pull off into Agua Dulce when a vehicle problem strikes. Whatever brings you here, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
