A lockout in Beverly Hills rarely looks like a lockout anywhere else. It might be a 1920s Spanish-revival front door with original mortise hardware, a smart lock whose battery died after a late dinner on Canon Dr, or a driveway gate keypad that stopped responding at midnight. Each calls for a different approach, and the wrong one can damage a door or a finish that is expensive to replace.

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, with no storefront to visit. We dispatch around the clock, and we work to open, repair or secure your property with as little damage as the situation allows.

This page explains how our emergency service works in Beverly Hills, what affects the cost, and what to expect on a call. If you are locked out right now, skip ahead and call (323) 997-8867. If you are planning ahead or want to know what to do the next time something fails, read on.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    You call and we talk it through

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what happened: a locked door, a broken key, a keypad that won't respond, or a lock that was tampered with. We ask about the type of lock, the door or gate, and whether anyone is inside. That helps us bring the right tools and parts.

  2. 2

    We confirm the situation and who you are

    Before we open a home, vehicle or business, we ask for reasonable proof that you live there, own it, or are authorized to enter. That protects you and your neighbors. It is a normal part of legitimate locksmith work.

  3. 3

    We choose the least damaging way in

    Whenever possible we use non-destructive entry: picking, bypass tools or manipulation. Original mortise hardware on a period-revival home, a high-security cylinder, or an aluminum storefront door each get a method suited to that lock, so your hardware survives.

  4. 4

    We repair or secure what failed

    Getting inside is only half the job. If a lock is worn, broken or compromised, we can repair it, rekey it, or replace it. For gates and keypads, we can check and reprogram the access code. If the door cannot be left secure, we make it secure before leaving.

  5. 5

    We explain the options before work begins

    If your situation calls for a repair or replacement beyond the opening itself, we explain what we found and what choices you have, then you decide. You should never feel rushed into hardware you did not ask for.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock involved: a standard deadbolt, a high-security cylinder, an older mortise lock, or a smart lock each take different skill and time.
  • What kind of property it is: a residence, a vehicle, a retail storefront, or a gated estate can change the tools and approach required.
  • Whether the job is just entry or also includes repair, rekeying, replacement parts or keypad and gate reprogramming.
  • The condition of the hardware: worn, corroded, or previously damaged locks can need extra work compared with a lock in good shape.
  • The time and location of the call, since after-hours emergency dispatch across a hillside or gated area differs from a daytime appointment.
  • Whether a safe, interior door or secondary lock is part of the same visit.

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so you are not driving to a shop in the middle of the night.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar guiding how the work is done.
  • Comfortable with vintage mortise hardware, so period-revival homeowners can preserve original locks instead of replacing them.
  • Experience with modern luxury needs: smart locks, residential safes, and keypad or intercom driveway gates.
  • Non-destructive entry is our first choice, because a damaged door or finish costs more than the lockout.
  • We explain options plainly and do not push replacements you do not need.

Emergency Locksmith across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills covers a lot of different property types in a small area, and emergency calls vary with them. In The Flats, many homes date from the 1920s and 1930s, with Spanish, Tudor and Georgian details and original mortise locks that owners often want to keep. We can usually repair, restore and rekey that hardware rather than tear it out. In Trousdale Estates, mid-century modern homes often combine newer high-security locks, residential safes and a keypad gate at the driveway, and a midnight failure there may involve all three.

Up in the Beverly Hills Post Office area and along Benedict Canyon Dr, gated hillside estates can add distance and winding access to a call, so tell us your cross streets or gate details when you phone. In the Golden Triangle, near Rodeo Drive, Wilshire Blvd and Canon Dr, an after-hours boutique lockout often means an aluminum storefront door with a mortise cylinder, where careful entry matters because the glass and frame are part of the shop's look.

We serve addresses across 90210, 90211 and 90212, from homes near Sunset Blvd and Coldwater Canyon Dr to condos and businesses along Santa Monica Blvd. Whether you are near The Beverly Hills Hotel, Greystone Mansion, Will Rogers Memorial Park or the Beverly Wilshire, call (323) 997-8867 and we will dispatch.

We can help with keypad and intercom driveway gate access, including checking and reprogramming codes. Describe the gate and what it is doing when you call, so we can prepare.

Yes. After-hours storefront lockouts, including aluminum doors with mortise cylinders, are part of what we do. We will ask for proof you are authorized to enter the business.
Will you ask for ID before opening a door?
Yes. We ask for reasonable proof that you live at, own, or are authorized to access the property. It protects residents and is standard for reputable locksmiths.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile and come to you. There is no storefront, so the fastest step is to call (323) 997-8867.
How much will an emergency call cost?
