A lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Granada Hills it might be late at night on a quiet street off Zelzah Ave, early in the morning before the school run toward Granada Hills Charter High School, or after a long drive back on the 118 when the key simply will not turn. Crenshaw Lock Company handles those moments around the clock, every day of the year.

We are a fully mobile locksmith, which means there is no storefront to visit. Your call goes to dispatch, we talk through what is happening, and a technician drives to your door with the tools and hardware needed to solve the problem on the spot. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, under owner and lead technician David Shar, and the Northern San Fernando Valley is territory we know well.

Emergency work is not only about getting a door open. It is about opening it without damage when that is possible, checking that the lock still works properly afterward, and making sure you are secure before we leave. In Granada Hills that often means thinking about the age of the hardware, the style of the home, and whether a quick fix tonight should be followed by a proper repair or rekey later.

How it works in Granada Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where you are and what happened: locked out of the house, a key snapped in the deadbolt, a gate that will not latch, or a door that will not secure. Clear details let us bring the right tools the first time.

  2. 2

    Dispatch to your location

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician is sent directly to your Granada Hills address. We do not make timing promises we cannot keep, but we are available 24/7 and we keep you informed while we are on the way.

  3. 3

    Confirm who you are and what you own

    Before opening a home, vehicle, or business, we ask for reasonable verification that you are entitled to access it. This protects you and your neighbors, and it is a normal part of honest locksmith work.

  4. 4

    Non-destructive entry first

    Our first goal is to get you in without harming the door, frame, or lock. On older ranch-home hardware and on period Eichler entry sets, we work carefully, because replacing original pieces is often unnecessary and sometimes undesirable.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey, or replace as needed

    If a lock is worn, broken, or its keys are lost or stolen, we explain your options plainly: repair it, rekey it to new keys, or replace it. You decide what makes sense before any work begins.

  6. 6

    Test and secure before we leave

    We operate every lock we touched, check that the door closes and latches correctly, and make sure you have working keys. If a temporary fix is all that is practical overnight, we tell you what to follow up on.

What affects the price

  • The kind of emergency: a simple lockout is a different job from a broken key extraction, a failed lock, or a damaged door.
  • The type and age of the lock, since original mid-century hardware, mortise sets, and high-security cylinders each call for different handling.
  • Whether parts are needed, such as a replacement cylinder, deadbolt, or gate lock, versus a repair or rekey of what is already there.
  • The hour and location of the call, as overnight, weekend, and holiday service can differ from daytime work, and hillside or gated properties may add effort.
  • How many locks are involved, for example one front door versus every exterior door being rekeyed alike.
  • Whether the work is a lockout on a home, a vehicle, or a business, because each involves different tools and access methods.

Why Granada Hills chooses us

  • We have been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, so older homes and older locks are familiar to us, not a surprise.
  • We are 24/7 and fully mobile, with no storefront detour. The work happens at your door.
  • We try non-destructive entry first, which matters on original ranch-home hardware and restoration-sensitive Eichler entries.
  • We explain repair, rekey, and replacement options in plain language and let you choose.
  • We are comfortable with foothill conditions, including gate locks and exterior hardware that stick after heat and dust.
  • Owner and lead technician David Shar stands behind the work, so accountability does not get lost.

Emergency Locksmith across Granada Hills

Granada Hills is a Northern Valley community of mostly 1950s and 1960s ranch tract homes, and many still carry their original locksets. In Old Granada Hills, along the Chatsworth St district, decades-old deadbolts and knobs wear out, keys get worn, and a lock that has worked for sixty years can fail on a random evening. Emergency calls in ZIP code 91344 often come down to exactly that: tired original hardware that needs a careful repair or rekey rather than a rushed replacement.

Balboa Highlands is a different case. This gated tract of Joseph Eichler mid-century modern homes has entry hardware that residents often want to preserve. If you are locked out or a lock fails there, we aim to get you in gently and, where possible, keep the period look intact, whether that means restoring a lockset or rekeying it. Knollwood, near the country club, and the foothill streets toward O'Melveny Park bring their own issues, including driveway gates and exterior locks that stick after Santa Ana winds, dust, and heat.

Whether you are off Balboa Blvd, near Devonshire St or Rinaldi St, close to San Fernando Mission Blvd, or in the 91394 area toward Sepulveda Blvd, call (323) 997-8867. We cover the Granada Hills area day and night, with easy reach from the 405, the 118, and the I-5.

Emergency Locksmith in Granada Hills — FAQs

Do you really offer emergency locksmith service in Granada Hills 24/7?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24 hours a day, every day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will dispatch a mobile technician to your Granada Hills location.
Do I need to come to your shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront to visit. A technician comes to your home, vehicle, or business with the tools needed to handle the job on site.
Can you get me into my house without damaging the door?
In most cases we try non-destructive entry first. That is especially important on original ranch-home hardware and on Eichler homes in Balboa Highlands, where preserving the existing look matters. If damage is unavoidable, we tell you before proceeding.
How much will an emergency lockout cost?
We do not quote a number without knowing the situation. Cost depends on the type of lock, the kind of emergency, the time of day, whether parts are needed, and how many locks are involved. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will explain what affects your specific job.
My original front-door lock is worn out. Should I replace it or rekey it?
Often a worn original lockset can be repaired or rekeyed rather than replaced. We look at its condition and explain your options. Many new owners of 1960s ranch homes in Old Granada Hills choose to rekey all exterior doors so they share one key.
Can you help with a driveway gate or foothill home lock that is sticking?
Yes. Heat, dust, and Santa Ana winds can make exterior locks and gate hardware stick, particularly near the foothills by O'Melveny Park. We can service or repair them, and replace parts if needed.
Do you help with car lockouts too?
Yes, emergency lockout help is available for vehicles as well as homes and businesses. Tell us the make and model when you call (323) 997-8867 so we can prepare.
Will you ask for proof that I own the property?
Yes, we ask for reasonable verification before opening a home, vehicle, or business. It is a standard, honest practice that protects you and your property.
