A lockout never picks a good time. In Camarillo it might be a late return from the Premium Outlets, a front door that will not turn after a long day, or a deadbolt that snaps while you are leaving for work. Crenshaw Lock Company is a fully mobile locksmith, so there is no shop to drive to. We come to you, whether you are in a cul-de-sac in Mission Oaks or a parking lot off Las Posas Road.

We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the company around one idea: when someone is stuck outside, the job is to get them in with as little damage as possible, then explain plainly what happened and what, if anything, needs fixing. Most emergency calls can be solved by non-destructive entry, which keeps your door, frame and lock intact.

Our emergency dispatch is open around the clock, every day of the year. Emergency work here covers residential lockouts, car lockouts, broken keys, jammed or failed locks, and securing a property after a break-in attempt. If your situation does not fit neatly in a category, call (323) 997-8867 and describe it. We will tell you honestly whether it is something we can handle on the spot.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Call and describe the problem

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what is locked, what type of lock it is if you know, and where you are. A quick description helps us bring the right tools and parts the first time.

  2. 2

    Dispatch to your location

    Because we are mobile only, a technician travels to you in a service vehicle stocked for lockouts and lock repair. We do not give arrival-time promises we cannot verify, but we will keep you informed once dispatched.

  3. 3

    Verify who you are

    Before opening a home, vehicle or business, we ask for reasonable proof that you live there, own the car or are authorized to access the property. This protects you and your neighbors.

  4. 4

    Entry with the least damage possible

    We start with non-destructive methods such as picking, bypass or shimming. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock is damaged, high-security or otherwise will not open any other way.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace if needed

    Once you are in, we check the lock. A worn cylinder, a broken latch or a bent strike plate can often be fixed on site. If a key is lost or stolen, we can rekey so old keys stop working.

  6. 6

    Review the work before you pay

    We go over what was done, what it involved and what it costs before the job is closed. You decide on any extra work, with no pressure.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock involved: a standard residential deadbolt is a different job than a high-security cylinder, a mortise lock or an aluminum storefront lock.
  • Whether the job is a simple entry or also requires repair, rekeying, replacement hardware or a new smart deadbolt.
  • The kind of lockout: home, vehicle or commercial, since each uses different tools and takes different skills.
  • Time of day and urgency, because overnight, weekend and holiday emergency dispatch differs from a scheduled daytime visit.
  • How far the technician must travel to reach your location within Camarillo and surrounding Ventura County.
  • Condition of the door, frame and lock, since a damaged or corroded lock may take longer to open and may need new parts.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile, with no storefront: every dollar of overhead goes into getting equipped technicians to your door, not into a retail counter.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, which means decades of experience with everything from tract-home deadbolts to older period hardware.
  • Non-destructive entry first, so your lock, door and frame are preserved whenever the situation allows.
  • A straightforward conversation about the work and cost before you commit, rather than surprises after the lock is open.
  • Familiarity with the range of Camarillo properties, including standardized senior housing hardware, historic Old Town buildings and aluminum-frame retail units.
  • Real 24/7 availability for emergencies, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Emergency Locksmith across Camarillo

Camarillo is a spread-out city, and emergency calls reflect that. In Mission Oaks and the city core, many homes are 1960s to 2000s suburban tract houses with standard deadbolts and keyed knobs, which are usually quick to open without damage. In Spanish Hills, newer and partly gated homes often have upgraded hardware, and in Camarillo Heights the older semi-rural hillside houses can mean aging locks and longer driveways. We regularly work ZIP codes 93010, 93012 and 93011.

Leisure Village, the large 55+ community, is a steady source of calls. Residents there often have standardized hardware, so lockouts and simple rekeys are usually straightforward, and we take our time and explain each step. In Old Town Camarillo, the historic district and the 1892 Camarillo Ranch House remind us that older buildings may carry period hardware that deserves a careful, gentle approach.

On the commercial side, retailers at the Camarillo Premium Outlets have aluminum-framed storefronts where a failing door closer or mortise lock can leave a unit unable to close safely. Business and light-industrial parks and the area around Camarillo Airport also generate after-hours calls. Whether you are off US-101, along SR-34 (Lewis Road), on Daily Drive, Carmen Drive or Pleasant Valley Road, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Emergency Locksmith in Camarillo — FAQs

Do you really work 24/7 in Camarillo?
Yes. Our emergency dispatch is open every hour of every day, including holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and a technician can be sent to your location in Camarillo.
Do I need to come to your shop?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile and has no storefront. Our technicians bring the tools and parts to your home, car or business.
Will you damage my lock to get me in?
We try non-destructive methods first, such as picking and bypass. Drilling is used only when the lock is damaged, will not respond to other methods or is high-security, and we will tell you before replacing anything.
Can you help if I am locked out of my car near the Premium Outlets?
Yes. We handle vehicle lockouts in parking lots and on the street. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us the make, model and where you are parked, and we will dispatch a technician.
Can you rekey locks after I buy a home in Mission Oaks or Spanish Hills?
Yes. Rekeying makes previous keys stop working, and we can also install smart deadbolts. It is a good first step after any home purchase, since you cannot know who still holds old keys.
What do you need to verify before opening a door?
We ask for reasonable proof that you live at the property, own the vehicle or are authorized to enter the business. This keeps everyone's property secure.
How is the price of an emergency call determined?
It depends on the lock type, the kind of lockout, time of day, travel distance and whether repair or replacement is needed. We explain it before work is finalized. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your situation.
Can you repair a storefront lock or door closer in an aluminum-framed unit?
Yes, we work on mortise locks and door closers common in aluminum storefronts like those at retail centers. If it is an after-hours failure, call us so the unit can be secured.
