Getting locked out of your home is stressful at any hour, and it tends to happen at the worst moments: after a late shift, while taking out the trash, or when a kid pulls the door shut behind them. In Fillmore, where homes range from old Craftsman bungalows to newer rebuilt houses and rural ranch properties, the right approach depends heavily on what kind of door and lock you actually have.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around one idea: get people back inside with as little damage as possible. We are fully mobile. There is no shop to drive to, so we come to your front door, whether that is near Central Avenue downtown, up in North Fillmore, or out past the Santa Clara River.

Because we dispatch from a distance rather than from a storefront in town, we will not pretend to make promises about arrival times. What we can say is that we answer around the clock, we will talk through your situation on the phone, and we will tell you what to expect before work begins.

How it works in Fillmore

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night. Tell us the address, what kind of door you have, and whether anyone, such as a child, a pet, or a stove left on, needs urgent attention inside. That helps us prepare the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are

    Before we open anything, we need reasonable proof that you live there or are authorized to enter, such as an ID with the address, mail, or a lease. This protects you and your neighbors, and a reputable locksmith should always ask.

  3. 3

    Assess the door and lock

    On arrival we look at the lock type, the door, and the frame. A 1920s Craftsman bungalow with an old mortise or knob set calls for a different touch than a post-1994 rebuilt home with a modern deadbolt.

  4. 4

    Open it without damage where possible

    We use non-destructive methods first, such as picking, bypass techniques, or shimming. Drilling is a last resort and only after we explain why it is needed and what it would involve.

  5. 5

    Check the hardware and secure the home

    Once you are in, we check whether the lock is worn, sticking, or damaged, which is often why a lockout happens. If it needs repair, rekeying, or replacement, we explain your options, and the decision is yours.

  6. 6

    Review the work before you pay

    We go over what was done and the cost based on the actual work before finishing. No surprises, and no extras you did not agree to.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: a late-night, weekend or holiday call can be priced differently than a daytime one, since we are on call around the clock.
  • Lock and door type: a standard deadbolt, a high-security lock, an older mortise set, and a multi-point patio door each take different tools and effort.
  • Location and distance: because we are fully mobile and dispatch to you, how far we travel to reach a rural Bardsdale address versus downtown can affect the total.
  • Whether the lock can be opened non-destructively: if the lock is damaged or jammed, or has to be drilled, repair or replacement parts may be added.
  • Follow-up work: rekeying, new keys, or replacing worn hardware after entry is separate from the lockout itself and only done if you want it.
  • Property type: a house, an apartment unit, or a condo with shared entries may involve different hardware and access considerations.

Why Fillmore chooses us

  • Operating since 1987 with owner David Shar leading the work, so experience with older and unusual hardware is part of the job.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, which means we come to your door rather than asking you to go anywhere.
  • Damage-free entry is the first goal, which matters on vintage doors and period-style details you would not want to replace.
  • We explain the approach and the price basis before work begins, and we do not push replacement when a repair or simple rekey will do.
  • Familiar with the mix of Fillmore housing, from older bungalow hardware to modern locks on rebuilt homes and rural ranch gates and barn padlocks.
  • We ask for proof of residency every time, which protects you as much as it protects us.

House Lockout across Fillmore

Fillmore is a small citrus and railroad town, and its housing reflects that history. Around Downtown Fillmore and Central Avenue you will find older Craftsman and Spanish bungalows that may still have original or vintage hardware, alongside homes rebuilt after the 1994 Northridge earthquake that damaged much of downtown. Those newer homes usually have modern deadbolts and keyed entry sets, while the older ones can have worn mortise locks or knob sets that fail at inconvenient moments.

North Fillmore and Cordova Park are largely residential, with a mix of mid-century homes and later construction, and lockouts there are often a matter of a misplaced key, a lock that jammed, or a door that swung shut. Across the Santa Clara River, Bardsdale is more agricultural, with ranch homes, gates and outbuildings. If you are locked out there, tell us about any gate or secondary lock too, since a house lockout out on a ranch property can come with additional barriers to reach the front door.

We serve both ZIP codes, 93015 and 93016, and get around using routes like SR-126 (Ventura St), SR-23 (Grimes Canyon Rd), Central Ave, Old Telegraph Rd, A St and Mountain View St. Since we dispatch from outside town by mobile service, we make no promises about timing, but we will stay on the phone with you and keep you informed. Whether you live a few blocks from the Fillmore & Western Railway or out near Rancho Camulos, call (323) 997-8867.

House Lockout in Fillmore — FAQs

What should I do first if I am locked out of my house in Fillmore?
Stay calm and check for any other unlocked entry you can safely and legally use, such as a door you left open on your own property. If not, call (323) 997-8867 and describe your door and lock. Do not try to force the door or break a window, since that usually costs more than a professional lockout.
Will you damage my door or lock?
Our first approach is always non-destructive entry, such as picking or bypass methods. That is especially important with older Craftsman or Spanish bungalow doors downtown. If a lock is damaged or has to be drilled, we tell you first and explain the options.
Do you work 24/7 in Fillmore?
Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need help. We do not make claims about specific arrival times, but we will tell you what to expect on the call.
Do I need to prove I live at the address?
Yes. We ask for reasonable proof that you live there or are authorized to enter, such as an ID showing the address, a utility bill, mail, or a lease. This is standard practice for a legitimate locksmith and protects your home.
Can you help with a lockout at a ranch or rural property in Bardsdale?
Yes. We are mobile and can go to rural properties, including those across the Santa Clara River. If there is a gate, barn lock or padlock in addition to the house door, mention it when you call at (323) 997-8867 so we can prepare.
How is the price for a house lockout determined?
It depends on factors like time of day, distance traveled, the type of lock and door, and whether the lock can be opened without damage. We explain the cost basis before work begins so there are no surprises.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We come to you, wherever you are in Fillmore, including areas like North Fillmore and Cordova Park.
Can you rekey or replace the lock after getting me inside?
Yes, if you want it. Once you are in, we can check the hardware, repair it, rekey it, or replace it, which is a good idea if you lost your keys. It is optional and separate from the lockout itself.
