A lockout in Calabasas rarely looks like a lockout anywhere else. You may be standing at a front door in The Oaks with a smart lock that has gone dark, or on a hillside property off Mulholland Highway with a multipoint lock that will not release. Add a guard gate, a driveway gate, and an alarm tied into the access system, and a simple problem can feel complicated very quickly. That is when you want someone who has seen these setups before.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar, our owner and lead technician, has spent decades working on the kinds of hardware found across Calabasas. We are 24/7 and fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we come to your door, your driveway, or your parked car, whether that is at The Commons at Calabasas or near Calabasas Lake.

Emergency work is not only about getting you inside. It is about doing so without damaging the door, the finish, or the electronics, and then making sure the lock is working properly and your property is secure when we leave. We favor non-destructive entry where the hardware allows it, and we explain what we find and what your options are before any work begins.

How it works in Calabasas

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us where you are, what is locked, and what type of lock it is: a traditional deadbolt, a smart lock, a multipoint lock, or a gate. If you are inside a guard-gated community, mention the gate so we can plan how to be cleared in.

  2. 2

    Dispatch and gate coordination

    We dispatch a mobile technician to your location. For gated communities like The Oaks or Calabasas Hills, we may need you or the HOA gatehouse to authorize our entry, so keep your phone nearby and be ready to confirm our arrival.

  3. 3

    Verify you are authorized

    Before opening anything, we ask for reasonable proof that you live at or control the property or vehicle. This protects you and your neighbors, and we do it the same way every time.

  4. 4

    Assess and open with the least damage

    We look at the lock and door before choosing a method. Standard cylinders, smart lock mechanical overrides and many European multipoint systems can often be opened without drilling. If a lock must be replaced, we tell you why first.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace as needed

    Once you are in, we can rekey, repair a failing smart lock, replace a damaged cylinder, or reprogram access codes. After a smart lock failure, we can restore function and make sure codes match what you intend.

  6. 6

    Test and confirm the quote

    We test the lock, the key or code, and the door operation before we leave. You get a clear explanation of the work done and the cost, based on what was actually involved.

What affects the price

  • Type of lock involved: a basic deadbolt, a smart lock, a multipoint European lock and a gate lock each require different tools and time.
  • Whether the lock can be opened without damage or must be drilled, repaired or replaced.
  • Time of day and urgency, since middle-of-the-night and holiday calls take us away from scheduled work.
  • Your location within the area, including hillside properties and extra time for guard gate clearance.
  • Parts needed, such as a new cylinder, smart lock hardware, keys or electronic components.
  • Additional work requested at the same visit, such as rekeying several locks, reprogramming codes or servicing a safe.

Why Calabasas chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7 service: we come to you, with no storefront, at any hour of the day or night.
  • In business since 1987, with an owner-led approach to every kind of emergency lockout.
  • Familiar with guard-gated community procedures, including working with gatehouses and HOAs.
  • Comfortable with smart locks, alarm and access integration, and European multipoint hardware common in newer Calabasas homes.
  • Non-destructive entry first, replacement only when it makes sense.
  • Clear explanations of the work and cost before we proceed, with no pressure to add services you do not need.

Emergency Locksmith across Calabasas

Calabasas is a community of gated neighborhoods, hillside estates and tidy tract homes, and emergency lock problems follow that pattern. In The Oaks, a guard-gated community, a failed smart lock can leave a resident stuck outside even after clearing the gatehouse. In those cases we bring mechanical override tools, open the door, and then reprogram the lock so it works reliably again. Calabasas Hills and Mulwood have their own mix of Mediterranean and Tuscan tract homes with driveway gates, alarm systems and electronic access that sometimes fail together.

Our work in 91302 covers more than residential lockouts. Hillside custom estates often have driveway gate locks, multipoint front door systems and floor safes, and these may need attention after a change of household staff or a lost key. Realtors also call us to rekey gated-community listings and arrange lockbox access through the HOA gatehouse. Around The Commons at Calabasas and Old Town Calabasas on Calabasas Road, aluminum-storefront doors and lifestyle retail locks call for a different approach than a home deadbolt.

We travel the roads that connect it all: US-101, Las Virgenes Road, Parkway Calabasas, Mulholland Highway and Old Topanga Canyon Road. If you are locked out near King Gillette Ranch or after a day on the trails by Malibu Creek State Park, we can come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need help.

Yes. We ask for reasonable proof of residence or authority, such as ID or documentation linked to the address. This protects you and the property.
Will you drill my lock?
Only if non-destructive methods will not work or the lock is already damaged. We explain what we find and what it would mean for cost before proceeding.
Can you help a realtor with a gated-community listing?
Yes. We can rekey the property and help arrange a lockbox with the HOA gatehouse, so access is secure and clear for showings. Call (323) 997-8867 to plan the visit.
How is the cost of an emergency call determined?
It depends on the lock type, the method needed, the time of day, your location and any parts or additional work. We explain the factors and confirm the price with you before we begin.
