A car lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Camarillo it tends to happen in the middle of an ordinary errand: the keys land on the seat while you are loading groceries, a fob slips into a bag you have already shut in the trunk, or a door swings closed behind you in a parking lot off Las Posas Road. The jolt is the same wherever it happens, and what you want is a calm person who knows what to do and will not scratch your paint.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, which means there is no shop to tow your car to and no storefront to visit. We come to your vehicle, whether it sits in a driveway in Mission Oaks, at the curb in Old Town, or in a lot near the Camarillo Premium Outlets, and we are available 24 hours a day.

This page explains how a lockout call works, what affects the cost, and what is specific to getting back into a car here in Camarillo. If you are standing next to your car right now, skip ahead and call (323) 997-8867. Everything below will still be here once you are back on the road.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where the car is, the make, model and approximate year, and whether the keys are inside the cabin or the trunk. We also ask whether anyone, such as a child or a pet, is inside, because that changes how urgently we treat the call.

  2. 2

    We confirm who you are and that the car is yours

    Before opening any vehicle we ask for proof that it belongs to you or that you are authorized to access it. A registration, an insurance card, or a photo ID matching the registration is the usual route. This protects you as much as anyone, and a legitimate locksmith will always ask.

  3. 3

    We assess the vehicle and choose the gentlest entry method

    Different cars call for different approaches. Many newer vehicles have side airbags, wiring in the door, and tight weatherstripping, so we look at the door and window design before touching anything. The goal is entry without scratches, bent frames, or damaged seals.

  4. 4

    We open the vehicle with professional tools

    Using purpose-made non-destructive tools, we unlock the door or reach the trunk release. We do not use coat hangers or force. Once the door is open we check that the lock, window, and weatherstripping still work normally.

  5. 5

    You test everything and we talk about a spare

    Before we leave, you confirm the doors lock and unlock properly and your keys or fob are in your hand. If the lockout was caused by your only key, we can discuss options for making a spare so you are not caught the same way again.

What affects the price

  • Time of day and day of the week, since we work around the clock and a middle-of-the-night call differs from a weekday-morning one.
  • Where the vehicle is located within Camarillo or the surrounding Ventura County area, which affects how far we travel to reach you.
  • The vehicle itself: make, model, and year, since some door and window designs take more care and time to open safely.
  • Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, as a trunk lockout can involve a different entry path.
  • Whether you also need a key made, a fob reprogrammed, or a lock repaired after the lockout, which are separate from the unlock itself.
  • Access conditions, such as a gated community or a tight parking structure, that can affect how we reach and work on the vehicle.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • We are fully mobile, so there is no tow and no storefront trip. We work on your car where it sits.
  • Operating since 1987 means we have handled a very wide range of vehicles, from older models with simple locks to modern cars with complex door electronics.
  • Damage-free entry is our standard approach. We choose methods suited to your specific vehicle rather than forcing a door.
  • We verify ownership before opening a car, which protects you and keeps the work above board.
  • We are available 24/7, so a late-night lockout after dinner in Old Town gets the same attention as a weekday one.
  • The owner, David Shar, leads the work, so you are dealing with an experienced locksmith and not a dispatch script.

Car Lockout across Camarillo

Camarillo is spread out and car-dependent, which is why lockouts here are so often a roadside or parking-lot problem. People drive US-101 (the Ventura Freeway), cut across on SR-34 (Lewis Road), and run errands along Las Posas Road, Ventura Boulevard, Daily Drive, Carmen Drive, and Pleasant Valley Road. A set of keys left on a seat can strand you at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, near the Camarillo Airport and the Commemorative Air Force Museum, or outside a shop in the Old Town Camarillo historic district.

We serve the whole city, including ZIP codes 93010, 93012, and 93011. In the tract-home streets of Mission Oaks, lockouts often happen right in the driveway, when a door closes with the keys on the seat. In Spanish Hills, where some homes sit behind gates, it helps to tell us up front about gate codes or guest access so we can reach your car without delay. In Camarillo Heights, with its older hillside homes and winding roads, tell us exactly where the car is parked so we can find it.

Leisure Village, the large 55+ community, is another place we hear from regularly. Parking is often in carports or small lots, and a lockout can be especially stressful if medication or a phone is inside the car. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what is going on; we will keep it unhurried and clear. And because we are mobile only, we simply come to you, with no office visit involved.

Car Lockout in Camarillo — FAQs

Can you unlock my car at the Camarillo Premium Outlets?
Yes. We are mobile, so we come to the parking lot where your car is. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us which area of the lot you are in and the vehicle description, and we will take it from there.
Will unlocking my car damage the door or paint?
Our standard approach is damage-free entry. We look at your specific vehicle first and pick non-destructive tools made for the job, then check that the door, window, and seals work normally afterward.
What if my keys are locked in the trunk?
We can help with trunk lockouts too. The entry method can differ from a cabin lockout, so mention it when you call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year.
Do I need to prove the car is mine?
Yes. We ask for something like a registration, insurance card, or ID that ties you to the vehicle before we open it. It is a standard safeguard and protects you from someone else getting into your car.
Are you available at night and on weekends in Camarillo?
We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need us and we will let you know how we can help.
Is there a shop I can come to?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile with no storefront. We travel to your vehicle anywhere in Camarillo, from Old Town to Leisure Village to the neighborhoods around Mission Oaks.
What if there is a child or pet locked inside the car?
Tell us immediately when you call, and consider calling 911 as well, since a child or animal in a closed car can be an emergency. Make sure we know that when you dial (323) 997-8867 so we can treat it as urgent.
Can you make a spare key so this does not happen again?
Often, yes, depending on the vehicle and key type. After we get you back in, we can discuss making a spare or programming a fob, which is priced separately from the unlock itself.
