A car lockout never happens at a convenient moment. In Granada Hills it tends to happen in the parking lot at a Balboa Blvd shopping center, outside a school event at Granada Hills Charter High School, at a trailhead near O'Melveny Park, or in your own driveway when the keys are sitting on the seat and the door has just clicked shut. Whatever the setting, the goal is the same: get you back into your vehicle without scratched paint, bent door frames, or a damaged weatherstrip.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile. There is no shop to drive to and no need to arrange a tow just to reach a locksmith. We bring the tools to the car, whether it is parked on a quiet residential street in Knollwood or along a busy stretch of Devonshire St or Rinaldi St.

This page explains how a lockout call works, what affects the cost, and what to think about before you call. We do not publish a flat price here, because the right answer depends on your vehicle and your situation. We would rather be straightforward about that than promise a number we cannot stand behind.

How it works in Granada Hills

  1. 1

    You call and tell us where you are

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the make, model, and year of the vehicle, the street or cross streets, and whether the keys are inside the cabin or the trunk. Landmarks help: a store on Balboa Blvd, a school lot, or a trailhead gate all give us a quick picture.

  2. 2

    We confirm the situation and who you are

    Before we open anything, we ask you to show that the car is yours, typically with ID and registration or other proof of ownership. This protects you and protects the vehicle's real owner. If a child or pet is inside, or it is very hot, tell us right away so we can prioritize.

  3. 3

    We choose the least invasive method

    Vehicles differ in door design, window seals, and lock mechanisms. We select the approach that fits your car and avoids damage to the paint, glass, and electronics. We do not force doors or use a slim-jim approach on cars where airbags or wiring sit inside the door.

  4. 4

    We unlock the vehicle and check it

    Once the door is open, we check that the locks, handle, and weatherstripping work normally. You can retrieve your keys, and we confirm everything closes and latches properly.

  5. 5

    We talk through what comes next

    If your keys are lost rather than locked inside, we can discuss key replacement options for your vehicle. If you simply want a spare so this does not repeat, we can talk about that too. No pressure either way.

What affects the price

  • Time of day and day of week, since late-night, weekend, and holiday calls are handled around the clock but may be priced differently from daytime calls.
  • Your vehicle's make, model, and year, because some newer cars with advanced door and security systems take more care than older vehicles.
  • Where the car is parked, including whether we are reaching a foothill street, a hillside driveway, or a multi-level parking structure.
  • Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, which can change the method and the time involved.
  • Whether you also need a replacement or spare key made, which is a separate service from the unlock itself.

Why Granada Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile, so help comes to your car in Granada Hills rather than expecting you to find a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar involved in the work.
  • Available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, with no claim of a specific arrival time that we cannot guarantee.
  • Damage-free methods chosen for your vehicle, rather than one forceful technique used on every car.
  • Ownership verification on every call, which keeps our service honest and protects drivers.
  • Familiar with the Northern Valley, from the Ronald Reagan Fwy corridor to the foothill streets near Bee Canyon.

Car Lockout across Granada Hills

Granada Hills sits in the northern San Fernando Valley, bordered by the foothills and cut by Balboa Blvd, Zelzah Ave, Hayvenhurst Ave, and Chatsworth St. Drivers here move between the I-405, the Ronald Reagan Fwy (SR-118), and Sepulveda Blvd, and lockouts happen all across that map. In Old Granada Hills along Chatsworth St, it is often someone stepping out at a shop or restaurant. In Knollwood, near the Knollwood Country Club, it is more likely a driveway or a curb on a residential street.

In the Balboa Highlands tract, known for its Joseph Eichler mid-century modern homes, many carports and driveways are open and visible, but the gated feel and winding streets mean clear directions help. If you are in ZIP code 91344, tell us the cross streets and any gate details when you call. The same goes for 91394, where addresses can be near the edge of the neighborhood and a nearby major road is the best reference point.

Near O'Melveny Park, the second-largest park in the City of Los Angeles, hikers sometimes lock keys in the car before heading up the trail, and cell service on the foothills can be uneven. If you can, move to a spot with signal and call (323) 997-8867. We will talk through your location and get to you. We are mobile only, so there is no storefront to visit; we come to wherever your car is parked.

How much does a car lockout cost?

Can you make a new key if I lost mine?
If your keys are lost rather than locked inside, we can discuss key replacement options for your vehicle. The type of key affects what is involved, so have the make, model, and year ready.
What should I do if a child or pet is locked inside?
Tell us immediately when you call, and if there is any danger, contact 911 first. Heat inside a car can become serious quickly, so do not wait.
