Hidden Hills is not a typical place to be locked out of a vehicle. Many homes sit on large lots behind private driveway gates, the city is guard-gated, and a car, truck or horse trailer rig is often parked a long way from the street. When a key goes missing or a door locks with the fob inside, you want someone who understands how to get to the property and work on the vehicle right where it sits.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit. Everything happens at your location: the driveway of a Long Valley Road estate, a stable yard off Spring Valley Road, or a parking spot near Round Meadow Elementary School.

Our automotive work covers cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets. That includes lockout entry, key cutting, transponder and smart key programming, broken key extraction, ignition and door lock repair, and replacement keys when every original is gone. We are available around the clock, which matters when a lockout happens late after an evening ride or an early barn run.

How it works in Hidden Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and year, where the vehicle is, and what happened. Mention if it is on a gated estate, in a barn area or on a trail-side lot so we can plan access.

  2. 2

    Coordinate gate access

    Hidden Hills entries are manned. We help you arrange for the guard to expect us, and you can clear us in with the gate on the Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road side as needed.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before we open a vehicle or make a key, we confirm that you are the owner or authorized user. This protects you and is a standard, responsible practice for any legitimate locksmith.

  4. 4

    Entry or diagnosis

    For a lockout we use tools designed to open the door without damaging paint, weatherstripping or electronics. For key or ignition problems we diagnose whether the issue is the key, the lock cylinder, the transponder or the vehicle's immobilizer.

  5. 5

    Cut and program the key

    We cut keys on site and program transponder chips or smart keys to the vehicle. If you have lost all keys, we can generate a new one from the vehicle itself in most cases.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We test every key in the door, trunk and ignition, confirm the vehicle starts, and make sure you leave with working spares rather than a single key.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model and year, since newer smart key and push-button systems take more equipment and programming than a basic mechanical key.
  • Type of problem: a simple lockout is a different job from a lost-all-keys situation, a broken key in the ignition or a failed lock cylinder.
  • Number of keys needed, including whether you want spares or a valet key for household staff.
  • Vehicle type, such as a motorcycle, RV, truck or trailer, each with its own lock styles and access challenges.
  • Time of day and urgency, since we work 24/7 and nights, weekends and holidays can affect the quote.
  • Location on the property and gate coordination, especially for far-back estate or stable areas.

Why Hidden Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile, so we work in your driveway or barn yard instead of asking you to tow a vehicle to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so experience is built into the service.
  • Comfortable with guard-gated communities and the process of arranging entry through a manned gate.
  • Able to work across cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, which suits Hidden Hills households with several vehicle types.
  • Same team handles home, barn and gate locks, so a vehicle call can also address a rekey or padlock replacement.
  • Plain, upfront quotes based on the actual vehicle and situation, never guesses made over the phone and not honored on arrival.

Automotive Locksmith across Hidden Hills

Hidden Hills (ZIP 91302) is a guard-gated city of large, often equestrian properties, and that shapes how vehicle lockouts happen here. In the Long Valley Road area, long driveways and electric gates mean a car can sit far from any help. In the Spring Valley Road area, many owners keep trucks and trailers near barns and paddocks, where keys are easily misplaced in a tack room or dropped in the dust. Around Round Meadow, school-day schedules and family vehicles mean a locked car can derail a morning quickly.

Because entry is through manned gates, we plan around that. Let the gate know a locksmith is coming, and we will handle the rest on arrival. The city also sits along the US-101 (Ventura Freeway) frontage and next to Calabasas, so residents often get locked out while out running errands, and we can meet you in neighboring areas too.

Our local work often extends beyond the vehicle. Many Hidden Hills clients also call about corroded barn padlocks, tack-room locks, paddock gate hardware, smart lock overrides, or a full rekey after household staff changes. We can look at those while we are already on the property.
