A car lockout never happens at a convenient moment. In Artesia it might be a quick stop for groceries on Pioneer Boulevard, a evening walk near Artesia Park, or a morning when the keys ended up on the seat just as the door clicked shut. Whatever the circumstance, the goal is the same: get you back into your vehicle without scratched paint, bent door frames, or a damaged weather seal.

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 service. We have no storefront for you to travel to. Instead, the work comes to you, in a parking space, a driveway, or the side of a street, and we are available 24 hours a day.

This page explains how a car lockout call works, what affects the cost, and some details particular to Artesia, a compact city where commuters on SR-91, shoppers in Little India, and residents of the quiet post-war neighborhoods all end up needing a hand at one time or another.

How it works in Artesia

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us where you are, the make, model and approximate year of the vehicle, and whether the keys are inside the cabin or the trunk. Let us know if anyone, such as a child or a pet, is inside the car, because that changes how urgently we treat the call.

  2. 2

    Confirm your location and your safety

    We ask about the surroundings, whether you are in a busy lot on Pioneer Blvd or a quiet residential street, so we can plan where to work. If you feel unsafe, we encourage you to wait somewhere well lit and public until we arrive.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before we open any vehicle, we ask for reasonable proof that it is yours, such as a registration or ID matching the vehicle. This protects you and protects us, and it is standard practice for responsible locksmiths.

  4. 4

    Choose the gentlest entry method

    Depending on the vehicle, we use professional tools designed to open doors without harming paint, glass, or weatherstripping. We pick the technique that suits the specific lock and door design instead of forcing anything.

  5. 5

    Test everything and get you going

    Once the door is open, we check that the lock, handle and window still work normally. If your key is lost rather than just locked inside, we can talk through next steps for replacement keys so you are not stranded twice.

What affects the price

  • The time of day you call, since overnight, weekend and holiday requests involve different scheduling than a weekday daytime call.
  • Your vehicle's make, model and year, because some door and lock designs take more care and time than others.
  • Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, which can change the method used to gain entry.
  • Your exact location within the service area and how easy it is to reach and work safely at the vehicle.
  • Whether you need additional work after entry, such as a replacement or duplicate key, which is quoted separately from the lockout itself.

Why Artesia chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a late-night lockout after dinner on Pioneer Blvd gets the same attention as a midday call.
  • Serving Los Angeles and Ventura Counties since 1987, which means decades of experience with a wide range of vehicle locks.
  • Damage-free methods are the starting point, not an afterthought, so your paint, window seals and door frame are protected.
  • Owner-led operation under David Shar, with a focus on clear, honest communication about what we will do before we do it.
  • Broader lock expertise, including rekeying and commercial locks, so if your lockout points to a bigger key problem, we can help with that too.

Car Lockout across Artesia

Artesia is a small city with a distinctive history. Dutch and Portuguese dairymen worked this land in the early twentieth century, and the neighboring City of Dairy Valley, incorporated in 1956, later became Cerritos. Landmarks like the Artesia Historical Museum and the DES Portuguese Hall still reflect that heritage. Today the city's busiest corner is Little India along Pioneer Boulevard, where shoppers park for jewelry, groceries, restaurants and sari shops. Long visits, crowded lots and hurried errands are exactly when keys get left on the seat or in the trunk.

We serve drivers throughout Downtown Artesia and the residential streets around it, including ZIP codes 90701 and 90702. Whether you are parked near Artesia Park, along South St or Gridley Rd, or just off the SR-91 after a commute, we come to your vehicle. Many neighborhood homes are modest post-war houses on compact lots with tight driveways and street parking, and we are comfortable working in those conditions.

Because we are mobile only, there is no shop to find. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us where your car is, and we will take it from there. If your lockout is a sign that your spare keys are worn or missing, we can also talk about options for replacements while we are there.
