A lockout never picks a convenient time. In Hawaiian Gardens it might be a late shift ending near The Gardens Casino, a tenant locked out of an apartment off Carson Street, or a front door that stops turning on a Sunday morning. Crenshaw Lock Company is a fully mobile locksmith, so there is no shop to drive to. We bring the tools and parts to wherever you are standing.
Our business has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. That long history means we have seen nearly every kind of lock problem: worn cylinders on post-war homes, deadbolts on older stucco apartment buildings, latches on aging mobile-home coaches, and commercial hardware that has been used hard for years.
Emergency work is about solving the immediate problem and leaving the property secure. Sometimes that means getting you in without damage. Other times it means replacing a broken lock or rekeying so that a lost key no longer works. We explain the options plainly, and you decide what to do. To reach us, call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what is going on.
How it works in Hawaiian Gardens
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the address, what type of door or lock is involved, and whether anyone, such as a child, a pet, or a stove left on, is inside. That helps us bring the right tools and parts.
- 2
We dispatch a mobile technician
Because we are fully mobile, a technician heads to you in a service vehicle stocked for common residential, commercial, and automotive-adjacent door hardware. We do not make timing promises we cannot keep, but we are available around the clock.
- 3
Verify who you are
Before opening a door, we ask for reasonable proof that you live there, manage the property, or are authorized to enter. This protects residents, tenants, and landlords, and it is standard practice for a responsible locksmith.
- 4
Assess and choose the least destructive method
We look at the lock, the door, and the frame. Whenever possible we use non-destructive entry methods that leave the lock intact. If a lock is seized, broken, or compromised, we will tell you honestly whether repair, rekey, or replacement makes the most sense.
- 5
Repair, rekey, or replace on the spot
If the lock needs work, we handle it during the same visit when parts are available: new cylinders, rekeyed pins, replaced deadbolts, or latch repairs. We test each key and the door's operation before we finish.
- 6
Confirm the property is secure
Before leaving, we check that the door closes, latches, and locks smoothly, and we go over what was done. You receive working keys and a clear explanation of the work, so you know the property is secure.

What affects the price
- Time of day and urgency: overnight, weekend, and holiday calls involve different logistics than a scheduled daytime visit.
- Type of lock and door: a standard knob or deadbolt differs from a high-security cylinder, a commercial panic device, or a safe.
- Whether entry alone is needed or hardware must be repaired, rekeyed, or replaced, including the cost of any parts.
- Number of locks involved: a single door is a different job from a batch of apartment-unit rekeys for a property manager.
- Condition of existing hardware: older, worn, or seized locks on aging doors and mobile-home coaches can take extra labor.
- Location and access: how far we travel and any access constraints, such as gated complexes, affect the visit.
Why Hawaiian Gardens chooses us
- Fully mobile, 24/7: we come to your door in Hawaiian Gardens at any hour, with no storefront you need to find.
- In business since 1987: decades of experience with the kinds of older doors and locks found in post-war homes and aging apartment buildings.
- Owner-led: David Shar leads the company, so standards for honesty and workmanship come from the top.
- Non-destructive first: we try to open the door without damaging the lock or frame before recommending replacement.

Emergency Locksmith across Hawaiian Gardens
Hawaiian Gardens is about one square mile, which makes it one of the smallest and most densely built cities in Los Angeles County. In ZIP code 90716, modest post-war single-family homes sit beside older stucco apartment complexes and mobile-home parks. That density shapes the calls we get: tenant turnover along the Carson Street corridor, aging deadbolts, and worn locks on older coaches.
Around Carson Street and The Gardens Casino at 11871 E Carson St, businesses need locks that hold up to long hours and constant use. We handle emergency lockouts, commercial rekeys, and servicing of small floor or wall safes. Near the Pioneer Boulevard and Civic Center district, close to Hawaiian Gardens City Hall at 21815 Pioneer Blvd, we also see office and retail doors that need fast attention.
With SR-91, Carson Street, Pioneer Boulevard, and Norwalk Boulevard all close by, we can reach most of the city without a long drive. Whether you are in a mobile-home park needing a worn door lock and a seized window latch replaced, a property manager needing same-day unit rekeys, or a resident near the C. Robert Lee Activity Center locked out at night, call (323) 997-8867.
