Getting locked out of your own home is stressful, and it never seems to happen at a convenient time. In Arcadia it might be a late night after a race day at Santa Anita Park, a morning when the door swung shut behind you while you carried groceries, or an evening when a spare key went missing. Whatever the reason, you need a calm, skilled person at your door.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around one idea: get people back inside without harming the door, the lock or the frame whenever that is possible. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to. We work on location at your home, wherever in Arcadia that is.

Arcadia's housing is a mix. Older ranch homes sit near brand-new custom estates, and condos and apartments line the streets around Santa Anita and Huntington Drive. Each kind of door has its own hardware and quirks, so we adjust our approach to what is actually on your door instead of using one routine for everything.

How it works in Arcadia

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of home it is, what type of door you have, and whether anyone or any pet is inside. We are available 24/7, so a late call is fine. We will not quote timing we cannot guarantee.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are

    Before we open any door, we ask for reasonable proof that you live there or have the right to enter, such as ID with the address or a lease. This protects residents and is a normal part of professional locksmith work.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the lockset, deadbolt, strike plate and door type. A standard knob, a smart lock, a high-security deadbolt on a new custom home and an older ranch-style lockset can each call for a different technique.

  4. 4

    Open the door without damage

    We use non-destructive methods first, such as picking, bypass or shimming, to protect your finish and hardware. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock is damaged or defeats gentler methods, and we explain it first.

  5. 5

    Check the lock and talk about next steps

    Once you are in, we make sure the lock still works properly. If a key is lost or stolen, or you just moved in, we can rekey the cylinders or replace hardware on the spot so old keys stop working.

What affects the price

  • Time of day and day of the week, since we answer after-hours and holiday calls as well as daytime ones
  • Type of lock and door, such as a basic knob, a deadbolt, a high-security cylinder or a smart lock
  • Your location within Arcadia and surrounding areas, and how far we travel to reach you
  • Whether the lock can be opened without damage or has been jammed or broken, which changes the work involved
  • Any add-on work after entry, such as rekeying, replacing a damaged cylinder or cutting new keys
  • Whether you are a homeowner, tenant or property manager, as multi-unit jobs may involve several locks

House Lockout across Arcadia

Arcadia covers a lot of different kinds of homes, and lockouts here reflect that. In Upper Rancho, Lower Rancho and Highland Oaks, many 1950s and 1960s ranch homes are being replaced by large custom estates. That means we see both older original locksets and brand-new hardware, sometimes on the same street. New builds often have keypad or smart locks and multi-point systems, and a lockout there calls for care and the right tools.

Closer to Santa Anita and along Huntington Drive, condos and apartments make up much of the housing. A tenant locked out late at night may also want a rekey at move-in, and we can handle both in one visit. Peacock Village and Baldwin Stocker have their own mix of homes, and we work across all of them, including ZIP codes 91006, 91007, 91066 and 91077.

We reach neighborhoods by way of the I-210 (Foothill Fwy), SR-19 (Rosemead Blvd), Huntington Dr, Baldwin Ave and Santa Anita Ave. Whether you live near the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden, near Methodist Hospital of Southern California, or just off a street where the peacocks wander, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

House Lockout in Arcadia — FAQs

Can you open my Arcadia house without damaging the door?
In most cases, yes. We start with non-destructive methods such as picking, bypass or shimming. Drilling is a last resort when a lock is broken or won't respond to gentler methods, and we explain it before doing it. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
Do you work on condos and apartments in Arcadia?
Yes. We handle houses, condos and apartments, including units near Santa Anita and Huntington Drive. Tenants may need to show a lease or ID, and some buildings may need property manager approval for certain work.
Are you available at night or on race days?
We are 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. If you get home late from Santa Anita Park or the mall and find yourself locked out, call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Do I need to prove I live at the address?
Yes, we ask for reasonable proof, like an ID showing the address or a lease. This protects residents and is standard practice for professional locksmiths.
Can you open a newer smart lock or keypad deadbolt?
Often we can. New custom homes in Upper Rancho and Highland Oaks frequently have electronic or high-security hardware. The approach depends on the brand and model, so tell us what you have when you call.
Should I rekey after a lockout?
If you only forgot your key, rekeying may not be needed. If a key was lost or stolen, or you just moved in, rekeying is a sensible step. We can often do it the same visit.
How is the price of a house lockout determined?
It depends on factors like time of day, lock type, location and whether any extra work is needed. We don't quote numbers in advance on this page, but we will explain the cost before starting. Call (323) 997-8867.
Do you have a shop I can visit in Arcadia?
No. We are a fully mobile locksmith, so all service happens on location at your home or property.
