Few things derail a day like the click of a car door locking with the keys still inside. In Burbank it tends to happen at the worst moments: in a Warner Bros. or Disney lot parking structure before a call time, curbside on Magnolia Boulevard while you duck into an antique shop, or at Hollywood Burbank Airport after a long flight. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile and available around the clock, so help comes to the vehicle instead of you having to find a shop.

We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on one principle: get people back into their vehicles without damaging them. That means using professional entry tools designed to work with the door, the weather stripping, and the lock, not a coat hanger and a prayer. We handle keys locked in the cabin, keys locked in the trunk, and situations where a key or fob has gone missing altogether.

There is no storefront to drive to, and that is by design. If you are stuck on Olive Avenue, in a lot off Hollywood Way, or in your own driveway in the Rancho District, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through your situation, confirm what we need to know about your vehicle, and head your way.

How it works in Burbank

  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 in the cabin or trunk. If a child, pet, or running engine is involved, say so right away so we can treat it with the right urgency.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are and that the car is yours

    Before we open any vehicle we ask for reasonable proof of ownership or authorization, such as a registration or ID that matches. It is a quick step that protects you, and it is the same standard we would want applied to our own cars.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door design

    Once on site, we look at how your particular door, lock, and window seal are built. Newer vehicles with side airbags and wiring inside the door call for different handling than an older car with simple mechanical lock rods.

  4. 4

    Unlock with damage-free tools

    We use professional non-destructive entry tools and techniques, working carefully around paint, trim, and weather stripping. The goal is a car that looks and operates exactly as it did before you got locked out.

  5. 5

    Check the vehicle and your keys

    After the door is open we confirm it locks, unlocks, and closes normally. If your key is missing rather than just locked inside, we can talk through options for a replacement or spare.

  6. 6

    Payment and next steps

    We go over the work before you pay, with no surprises. We will also share simple habits that help prevent a repeat, like keeping a spare key somewhere secure and separate from the vehicle.

What affects the price

  • The time of day or night you call, since we work around the clock and overnight or holiday calls differ from daytime ones.
  • Your vehicle's make, model, and year, because door construction and lock systems vary in how much care they require.
  • Whether the keys are locked in the cabin or the trunk, which can change the entry approach.
  • Your exact location, including how far we travel and whether access is complicated, such as a secured studio lot or a multi-level parking structure.
  • Whether you also need a key made or a lost key addressed, which is separate from the unlock itself.
  • Unusual conditions such as a damaged lock, aftermarket security system, or a vehicle that has already been forced.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7: we come to your car in Burbank rather than asking you to find a shop, and there is no storefront to visit.
  • Serving Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, so we have worked on a wide range of vehicles and local situations.
  • Damage-free methods are our standard, with attention to paint, weather stripping, and in-door wiring.
  • Owner-led: David Shar built the company and sets the standard for how every call is handled.
  • Straight answers on the phone about what affects the cost, without pressure or vague promises.
  • We are also a full locksmith, so if your lockout reveals a lost key or a worn ignition, we can talk through the next step in the same visit.

Car Lockout across Burbank

Burbank's mix of studio campuses, busy boulevards, and residential pockets creates its own lockout patterns. Around the Media District, near Warner Bros. Studios and Walt Disney Studios, people park in structures and lots with controlled access, and a locked-in key can mean a stalled shoot day. We are used to coordinating around gates and badge-only entries, so tell us ahead of time where you are and who can let us in.

In Magnolia Park, street parking along Magnolia Boulevard's antique row and the surrounding bungalow blocks means lockouts often happen curbside, in 91505 and the neighboring ZIP codes. Over in the Rancho District, many equestrian properties have long driveways and gates, so let us know if we need a code or a call to get through. Drivers who commute along I-5, SR-134, or Victory Boulevard also sometimes get stuck at gas stations and shopping centers, including the IKEA lot and Downtown Burbank near the AMC.

We serve all Burbank ZIP codes, including 91501, 91502, 91504, 91505, 91506, 91521, 91522, and 91523, and travelers at Hollywood Burbank Airport are welcome to call too. Whatever the hour, (323) 997-8867 reaches us.
