Getting locked out is rarely convenient, and in Hawaiian Gardens it tends to happen in tight quarters: a stucco apartment stairwell off Carson Street, a post-war single-family home with a front door that sticks, or a coach in a mobile-home park where the lock has been wearing out for years. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to. We bring the tools to your door.
David Shar has run Crenshaw Lock Company since 1987, serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County. That long history with older doors, original hardware, and every kind of residential lock is useful in a city like this one, where many buildings have been standing for decades and have been rekeyed or patched more than once.
Our approach to a lockout is simple: figure out what kind of lock and door you have, choose the least invasive way in, and leave the lock working. Drilling is a last resort, not a first move. When a lock is too worn to trust, we can talk through replacement or rekeying while we are already there, so you are not locked out again next week.
How it works in Hawaiian Gardens
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the address, whether it is a house, apartment, condo or mobile home, and what kind of door and lock you see. Details like a deadbolt, a knob lock, or a sliding door help us bring the right tools.
- 2
Confirm you live there
Before we open anything, we ask for reasonable proof that you are entitled to enter, such as ID showing the address or a lease, or confirmation from a property manager. This protects residents and landlords alike.
- 3
Assess the lock and door
On arrival we look at the lock type, the condition of the door and frame, and any signs of wear. Older hardware on post-war homes and aging coaches often behaves differently from newer locks, so this look shapes the method we choose.
- 4
Entry with the least damage possible
We use non-destructive techniques first, such as picking, bypass tools, or shimming, depending on the lock. Destructive options are saved for locks that cannot be opened any other way, and we explain them before using them.
- 5
Check, adjust, and offer options
Once you are in, we test the lock and the key. If the lock is worn, a latch is seizing, or keys have gone missing, we can rekey or replace hardware on the spot so the door is secure again.
- 6
Review the work and the cost
We go over what was done and the charges before we wrap up, so you know the cost and the reason for it. Nothing should come as a surprise.

What affects the price
- Type of lock: a standard knob or deadbolt generally takes less effort than a high-security cylinder or a multi-point lock.
- Condition of the hardware: worn, corroded or previously damaged locks can make non-destructive entry slower and may call for repair.
- Time of day: after-hours, overnight and holiday calls differ from daytime service because we are a 24/7 operation.
- Whether you need extra work: rekeying, replacing a lock, cutting new keys or repairing a window latch are separate from the entry itself.
- Number of doors or units: a property manager with several units to open or rekey the same day has different needs than a single-door lockout.
- Access and door type: sliding doors, security screens and unusual frames in older buildings can change the approach.
Why Hawaiian Gardens chooses us
- Fully mobile, with no storefront, so every dollar of our effort goes toward reaching you rather than staffing a counter.
- Serving Los Angeles and Ventura Counties since 1987, which means plenty of experience with older and mismatched residential hardware.
- Damage-free entry is our default approach; we explain any destructive option before we use it.
- Comfortable with multi-unit work, including same-day rekeys for property managers dealing with tenant turnover.
- We can fix the underlying problem, like a worn lock or a seized window latch on an older coach, during the same visit.
- We confirm entitlement to enter before opening a door, which protects you and your neighbors.
House Lockout across Hawaiian Gardens
Hawaiian Gardens covers roughly one square mile in the 90716 ZIP code, and it is among the smallest incorporated cities in Los Angeles County. That density shapes the work. Along the Carson Street corridor you find older stucco apartment complexes where tenants turn over often, so lockouts and rekeys are common, and a property manager may need several units handled in one day. Around the Pioneer Boulevard and Civic Center district, near Hawaiian Gardens City Hall at 21815 Pioneer Blvd, the mix shifts toward modest post-war single-family homes.
The city also has several mobile-home parks, where older coaches often have tired door locks and window latches that have seized with age. A lockout there is sometimes a sign the hardware is due for replacement, and we can address both in one visit. Getting around is straightforward, with SR-91, Carson Street, Pioneer Boulevard and Norwalk Boulevard connecting the city, and we come to wherever you are, whether that is near the C. Robert Lee Activity Center or on a quiet residential street.
If you work or live close to The Gardens Casino on East Carson Street, we also handle commercial rekeys and safe servicing for nearby businesses. For a house lockout anywhere in 90716, call (323) 997-8867 and we will get a mobile technician moving toward you.
