A car lockout in Commerce rarely happens in a quiet driveway. More often it happens in a busy place: a loading lot near the BNSF Hobart intermodal rail yard, a parking structure at the Citadel Outlets, a side street off Washington Blvd, or the shoulder near an I-5, I-710 or SR-60 on-ramp. Commerce is a working city built around freight, warehouses and distribution, and many people here are on a tight shift or a delivery schedule when the keys end up on the seat or in the trunk.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our owner and lead technician, David Shar, built the business around getting people back into their vehicles without harm to the car. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, so there is nothing to tow your car to and nowhere you have to get to first. We come to your vehicle, around the clock, any day of the week.

This page explains how a lockout call works, what affects the cost, and what is specific to Commerce, from work trucks and fleet vehicles to residents in neighborhoods like Rosewood Park and Bandini. If you are stuck right now, the fastest step is to call (323) 997-8867.

How it works in Commerce

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. We ask for your location, the make, model and year of the vehicle, and whether the keys are inside the cabin, in the trunk, or whether a key is lost entirely. We also ask if anyone, such as a child or pet, is inside, because that changes how we handle the call and whether you should contact emergency services first.

  2. 2

    We confirm where you are and head to you

    Because we are fully mobile, we travel to your exact spot, whether that is a lot off Eastern Ave, a stretch of Telegraph Rd, a Citadel Outlets parking space, or a home street in Bristow Park. We make no promises about arrival times over the phone beyond being available 24/7, and we keep you updated if anything changes.

  3. 3

    We verify you are entitled to the vehicle

    Before we open a car, we ask for reasonable proof of ownership or authorization, such as a matching ID and registration or insurance paperwork. This protects you and the vehicle owner. For company and fleet vehicles, we may ask for authorization from the business.

  4. 4

    We choose the least invasive unlocking method

    We assess the door, window and lock design and use professional entry tools and techniques intended to avoid scratching paint, bending door frames or damaging weatherstripping. Different vehicles need different approaches, and newer cars with side airbags and wiring in the door need extra care. We do not force entry.

  5. 5

    We open the car and check it over

    Once the door is open, we make sure the lock, handle and door still operate normally and that you have your keys in hand. If the keys were locked in the trunk, we work out the best way to reach them, often through the cabin and a rear-seat release or trunk release.

  6. 6

    We talk through spare keys and prevention

    If your lockout came from a worn key, a failing fob or a lost key, we can discuss next steps. Ask about keeping a spare in a safe place, so a repeat lockout does not cost you another shift.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: calls at night, on weekends or on holidays are handled differently than daytime weekday calls, and we explain this when you call.
  • Vehicle make, model and year: some door and lock designs, as well as newer vehicles with more electronics and airbags, take more care and time to open safely.
  • Where the keys are: keys on the seat are typically simpler than keys locked in the trunk or a situation where the key is lost altogether.
  • Your location: a car in the middle of Commerce is different from one parked farther out in the greater Los Angeles area, and distance from our mobile technician is a factor.
  • Whether you need extra work: if you also need a key made, a lock repaired or a fob replaced, that is separate from the basic unlock and is explained before work begins.
  • Access conditions: tight spots in a crowded lot or an unsafe roadside location can affect how the job is done.

Why Commerce chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so there is no shop to drive to and no need to wait for business hours.
  • Serving Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician.
  • Damage-free methods are the goal on every unlock, rather than forcing a door or window.
  • We understand Commerce's mix of work trucks, delivery vehicles, shoppers and local residents, and we can handle both everyday cars and company vehicles.
  • We verify ownership before opening a vehicle, which keeps both you and the car protected.
  • We are clear about what affects cost and talk it through before starting work, with no hidden add-ons presented afterward.

Car Lockout across Commerce

Commerce is a compact, industrial city, and that shapes the lockouts we see. Drivers pass through all day on I-5, I-710 and SR-60, then spend hours in lots around the Hobart rail yard, the warehouses along Telegraph Rd and Eastern Ave, and the retail and dining areas along Washington Blvd and Atlantic Blvd. A lockout in the middle of a shift is more than an annoyance, and we try to make it a short interruption.

We serve all of Commerce, including ZIP codes 90040, 90091, 90022 and 90023. That covers the Citadel district around the Citadel Outlets, the residential pockets of Rosewood Park and Bandini, and Bristow Park. If you are parked near Rosewood Park, the Commerce Library, or the Commerce Casino lot, we can come to you there.

Residents in the older bungalow areas sometimes get locked out of their cars right at home, keys inside while carrying groceries or loading up for work. Whether you are in a driveway in Rosewood Park or a lot beside a distribution center, call (323) 997-8867 and we will take it from there.
