A lockout in Agua Dulce rarely looks like a lockout in the city. There is no neighbor a few feet away with a spare key, and the nearest help may be a long drive down a dirt or gravel road. You might be standing at the front door of a custom ranch home off Agua Dulce Canyon Rd after feeding the horses, or at a gate at the end of a long driveway with the house still out of reach. Either way, you need someone who understands that rural properties have their own challenges.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around mobile, on-location work. We are fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at night, on a weekend or on a holiday gets the same attention as one on a weekday morning. There is no shop for you to come to; the work happens at your door.
Our goal on a house lockout is simple: get you inside without damaging your door, frame or lock whenever the hardware allows. Most residential locks can be opened with proper non-destructive methods, and we will tell you plainly if your situation calls for something different before we do anything.
How it works in Agua Dulce
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where you are, what kind of door you are locked out of, and whether anyone, such as a child, a pet or someone unwell, is inside. On rural parcels, tell us about gates, gate codes and which road you are off so we can find you.
- 2
Confirm who you are and that you live there
Before opening any home, a responsible locksmith confirms the person asking has a right to be there. We will ask for identification or something showing a connection to the property, such as a utility bill or mail. This protects you and your neighbors.
- 3
Assess the lock and door
On arrival we look at the lock type, the door and the frame. Ranch homes often have heavy solid doors, deadbolts and sometimes multiple entries. We choose the least invasive approach for that hardware.
- 4
Open the door without damage where possible
We use professional non-destructive entry techniques to open the lock without drilling, cutting or forcing it. If a lock is damaged, corroded or unusually secured and can't be opened cleanly, we explain the options before proceeding.
- 5
Check the lock and offer next steps
Once you are in, we make sure the lock and door operate properly. If your keys are lost rather than just left inside, we can discuss rekeying or replacing the lock so a missing key is no longer a security concern.

What affects the price
- Time of day and day of week, since we answer calls around the clock including nights, weekends and holidays.
- Distance and driving conditions to your property, which matter more for remote parcels and long canyon roads than for a tight city lot.
- The type of lock and door involved, such as a standard deadbolt compared with a high-security lock or a reinforced entry.
- Access challenges on the property, such as a locked gate, a long driveway or a detached building that needs separate attention.
- Whether you need extras after entry, such as rekeying, a lock repair or a replacement if the hardware was worn or damaged.
- The number of doors or locks involved, for example a main house plus a guest house or shop.
Why Agua Dulce chooses us
- Fully mobile and 24/7: we come to your door and have no storefront, so there is nothing to visit and no waiting for business hours.
- In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar standing behind the work.
- Damage-free entry is the goal on every house lockout; we only recommend more invasive methods when the hardware leaves no other choice.
- We understand rural property: gated drives, barns, tack rooms, hangars and detached shops that standard city locksmith routines overlook.
- Honest quoting: we explain what affects the cost and what we recommend before work begins, with no pressure to buy anything extra.
- We can handle the follow-up, whether that means rekeying after lost keys or replacing a weathered lock, in the same visit.
House Lockout across Agua Dulce
Agua Dulce is a spread-out, equestrian community in the Santa Clarita Valley's northern foothills, and ZIP code 91390 covers a lot of ground. The Agua Dulce townsite near Sierra Highway has older homes and small-lot properties, while Sweetwater and the canyon roads such as Agua Dulce Canyon Rd, Escondido Canyon Rd and Davenport Rd lead to custom homes and horse ranches on acreage. Reaching a lockout can mean a long, winding drive, so we ask for clear directions and gate details when you call.
Housing here brings its own lock concerns. Many properties have more than one building: a main house, a detached shop, a barn or tack room, and sometimes a well pump enclosure. Desert dust and sun wear down gate latches and padlocks, and a stiff or seized lock is a common reason people end up stuck outside. At the Agua Dulce Airpark, fly-in homes with private hangars add another set of doors, and we can help with the house itself and discuss hangar-door locks if those need attention.
Whether you live near Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, off CA-14 (Antelope Valley Fwy), along Sierra Highway near the Agua Dulce Winery, or close to where the Pacific Crest Trail passes through town, call (323) 997-8867. We are mobile and available 24/7, and we will work out how to reach you wherever you are in the valley.
