A lockout or a broken lock never picks a convenient hour. In Azusa it might be a student back from a late shift near Azusa Pacific University, a hiker returning to a car near the San Gabriel Canyon gateway, or a homeowner whose deadbolt snapped on a cold morning. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile and answers emergency calls around the clock, so the help comes to wherever you are standing.

David Shar has run Crenshaw Lock Company since 1987, and the work has taught us that emergencies are rarely identical. A 1920s bungalow near Azusa Ave with an original mortise lock needs a different touch than a recently built Rosedale home with modern hardware or a gated Mountain Cove property with its own access considerations. We bring tools and experience suited to each, and we try to solve the problem with the least damage possible to your door and lock.

This page explains how an emergency call works, what influences the cost, what sets us apart, and what we know about locks and doors around Azusa. We do not quote prices on a web page, because an honest price depends on your situation. We will explain the work and the cost before we begin.

How it works in Azusa

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us where you are, what is locked or broken, and whether anyone, such as a child, a pet, or someone vulnerable, is inside. That helps us prioritize and bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    We dispatch to your location

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician travels to you, whether you are at a home off Foothill Blvd, in an apartment near Citrus College, or in a parking lot. There is no shop to visit.

  3. 3

    Verify that you belong there

    Before opening a home, vehicle, or business, we ask for reasonable proof of residence or ownership, such as ID matching the address or registration. This protects you and is a mark of a legitimate locksmith.

  4. 4

    Assess and choose the least destructive method

    We look at the lock, door, and situation first. Where possible we open the door without drilling or damaging it. If a lock is broken or compromised, we explain the options before working.

  5. 5

    Open, repair, or replace

    We get you inside, then repair or replace failed hardware if needed. That may mean rekeying, a new deadbolt, a mortise cylinder, or a temporary fix to secure the opening for the night.

  6. 6

    Confirm everything works and is secure

    We test keys and operation, make sure the door closes and latches properly, and talk through anything worth following up on in daylight, such as an upgrade or a full rekey.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock involved: a standard deadbolt, a vintage mortise lock, a high-security cylinder, or a smart lock each call for different skills and parts.
  • What the job actually is: a simple lockout, a broken key extraction, a lock repair, or a replacement and rekey are all different amounts of work.
  • The time of day you call, since late-night, weekend, and holiday service differ from daytime calls.
  • Your location and access, including the distance traveled and whether a gated area such as Mountain Cove adds coordination.
  • Parts and hardware needed, if the lock or door must be repaired or replaced rather than just opened.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since warped, damaged, or older doors can make the work more involved.

Why Azusa chooses us

  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, with no storefront and no need to travel while locked out.
  • Experience with older hardware like original mortise locks found in Azusa's early 1900s downtown buildings, as well as newer smart and multipoint systems.
  • A preference for non-destructive entry, so your door and lock are kept intact when possible.
  • Clear explanation of the work and cost before we start, with no pressure to buy upgrades you do not need.
  • Identity verification on every job, because protecting your property matters as much as opening it.

Emergency Locksmith across Azusa

Azusa has a layered mix of housing, and emergency calls reflect it. Downtown Azusa along Azusa Ave and Foothill Blvd, the old Route 66 corridor, includes 1900s-1920s bungalows and brick commercial buildings, some still carrying original mortise locks. Those locks can often be repaired rather than replaced, which can save character and cost. In ZIP 91702, you will also find broad post-war tract neighborhoods where aging deadbolts and worn keys are common reasons for a call.

In the foothills, Rosedale is a newer master-planned community with modern hardware, and some homes are ready for smart locks or multipoint doors. When those systems fail or a keypad stops responding, an emergency visit can get you inside and sort out the cause. Nearby, Mountain Cove is a gated canyon community, so it helps to tell us about gate or access details when you call.

Students and staff around Azusa Pacific University and Citrus College face their own situations, from lockouts to rekeying student rentals at semester turnover. Whether you are near the Metro A Line stations, on Alosta Ave or Gladstone St, heading toward SR-39 and the Angeles National Forest, or just off the I-210, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Emergency Locksmith in Azusa — FAQs

Do you really offer emergency locksmith service in Azusa 24/7?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays, and reach dispatch for an Azusa emergency.
How quickly can you get to me?
We do not promise a specific arrival time, because it depends on where you are and current demand. We are fully mobile and will give you honest guidance when you call.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We have no storefront. Our technicians come to your home, vehicle, or business anywhere in Azusa.
Can you open an older bungalow door without damaging it?
Often, yes. Many Azusa bungalows from the early 1900s have original mortise locks, and we try non-destructive methods first. If the lock is worn or broken, we can discuss repair or replacement.
What can you do if my Rosedale smart lock stops working?
We can get you inside and look at the cause, whether it is a mechanical failure, a keypad issue, or a hardware problem. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the lock so we can prepare.
I rent near Azusa Pacific University. Can you rekey after a roommate moves out?
Yes. Rekeying is a common choice at semester turnover, and it makes old keys useless without replacing the whole lock. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it, including for non-emergency timing.
How much will an emergency call cost?
It depends on the lock type, the work required, your location, and the time of day. We explain the cost before beginning so there are no surprises.
Will you ask for ID before opening my door?
Yes. We ask for reasonable proof that you live in or own the property or vehicle. It protects you and is standard practice for a trustworthy locksmith.
