A lockout in Beverly Hills rarely looks like a lockout anywhere else. The door might be a carved Spanish-revival entry with original mortise hardware, a pivot door on a mid-century home in Trousdale Estates, a smart lock that has lost its connection, or a condo door in a secured building. Each one calls for a different approach, and the goal is always the same: get you inside without damaging the door, the frame, or the finish.

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 and available 24/7. Our work is done on location, so the tools and know-how come to your front step, whether you are on a quiet street in The Flats or at a gated property up in Benedict Canyon.

This page explains how a house lockout call works, what affects the cost, and what is specific about Beverly Hills homes. If you are standing outside right now, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk you through what to do next.

How it works in Beverly Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door and lock you have: a mortise lock, a deadbolt, a keypad, or a smart lock. Mention whether there is a gate or a secured entry we need to get through. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are and that you live there

    Before opening any door, we ask for reasonable proof that you live at or are authorized to enter the property. That might be an ID with the address, mail, or a lease. It protects you and your neighbors, and it is standard practice for any responsible locksmith.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the lock type, the condition of the door, and the finish. A well-kept period door, a high-end smart lock, and a standard deadbolt are each handled differently. We choose the least invasive method first.

  4. 4

    Open the door without damage

    Our aim is non-destructive entry using picking, bypass, or specialty tools, so your lock, door, and frame stay intact. Drilling is a last resort, and we explain it to you before doing it, not after.

  5. 5

    Check the hardware and secure the home

    Once you are in, we check that the lock still works smoothly. If a key was lost or stolen, we can rekey the lock so the old key no longer works. For vintage hardware, we can repair rather than replace.

  6. 6

    Review options and leave you set

    We go over any follow-up worth considering, such as spare keys, rekeying, a keypad upgrade, or gate keypad reprogramming. You decide what to do; there is no pressure.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock: a standard deadbolt, a vintage mortise lock, and a high-security or smart lock each take different time and skill to open without damage.
  • The time of day: nights, weekends, and holidays are different from a weekday call, even though we are available around the clock.
  • Your location and access: hillside roads, gated driveways, and secured buildings can affect how we reach the door.
  • Whether the lock needs work after entry: rekeying, repair, or replacement are separate from the lockout itself.
  • The condition of the door and hardware: older or previously damaged locks may need extra care or additional work.
  • How many doors or locks are involved, for example a main entry plus a secondary door or gate keypad.

Why Beverly Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: everything is done at your door, with no storefront and no need for you to go anywhere while locked out.
  • Damage-free entry comes first: we work to preserve original finishes, which matters on carved doors and period hardware.
  • Comfortable with vintage mortise hardware: for 1920s and 1930s homes, we can repair, restore, and rekey original locks instead of pushing replacement.
  • Familiar with high-end systems: smart locks, keypad entries, residential safes, and intercom or keypad driveway gates are part of the work.
  • Available 24/7, so a late-night lockout is handled the same as a daytime one.
  • Straightforward communication: we explain the method, the options, and what drives cost before work begins.

House Lockout across Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills has a mix of housing that makes lockouts unusually varied. In The Flats, many homes date to the 1920s and 1930s, with Spanish, Tudor, and Georgian revival styling and, often, original mortise locks. Owners here usually want that hardware kept, so we focus on opening the door carefully and then repairing or rekeying instead of replacing. Up in Trousdale Estates, mid-century moderns often have sleek entry hardware and keypad-controlled driveway gates, and a lockout can involve both the door and the gate.

Further into the hills, the Beverly Hills Post Office area and Benedict Canyon (BHPO) has gated hillside estates reached by winding roads like Benedict Canyon Dr and Coldwater Canyon Dr. Tell us about gate codes or intercoms when you call so we can plan our approach. Down in the Golden Triangle, near Rodeo Drive, Canon Dr, and Wilshire Blvd, luxury condos and boutiques bring secured lobbies and aluminum storefronts with mortise cylinders.

We serve all of Beverly Hills, including ZIP codes 90210, 90211, and 90212, and the areas around Santa Monica Blvd, Sunset Blvd, Will Rogers Memorial Park, the Beverly Hills Hotel, Greystone Mansion, and the Beverly Wilshire. Wherever you are locked out, call (323) 997-8867.

House Lockout in Beverly Hills — FAQs

Can you open my Beverly Hills home without damaging the door?
In most cases, yes. Damage-free entry is our first approach, using picking or bypass methods that leave the lock, door, and finish intact. If a lock is damaged or unusually secure, we explain any alternatives before proceeding. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your door.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so nights, weekends, and holidays are covered. Call (323) 997-8867 any time you are locked out.
Do you have a shop I can go to?
No. We are fully mobile only. There is no storefront to visit, because we come to your home, condo, or building and do the work on location.
Can you work on the original mortise locks in an older Flats home?
Yes. Many 1920s and 1930s homes have original mortise hardware that owners want to keep. We can open the door carefully, then repair, restore, or rekey the lock instead of replacing it.
What if I am locked out of a gated Trousdale or Benedict Canyon property?
Let us know when you call about any gate, keypad, or intercom. We can also rekey locks and reprogram driveway gate keypads after entry if you want to tighten security.
Do you open smart locks and keypad locks?
Yes, we work with many high-end smart and keypad locks. The method depends on the model and what went wrong, such as dead batteries, a lost code, or a connection issue. Call (323) 997-8867 with the brand if you know it.
Will I need to prove I live at the property?
Yes. We ask for reasonable proof of residence or authorization, such as ID, mail, or a lease. This protects you and keeps the service responsible.
How is the price of a lockout determined?
It depends on the lock type, time of day, access to the property, and any follow-up work like rekeying or repair. We talk through these factors with you so you know what to expect before work begins.
