Irwindale is a small city with an unusual mix of traffic. Trucks haul aggregate out of the quarries, delivery vans pull in and out of distribution centers, commuters cut through on the I-210 and I-605, and event crowds arrive at the Irwindale Speedway & Event Center. When a key goes missing or a door locks with the keys inside, the vehicle is often parked at a work site, a yard gate or a freeway-adjacent lot, not in a driveway.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We have no storefront, so nobody has to tow a car or find a shop. We bring the tools to you: lockout service, key replacement, transponder and fob programming, broken-key extraction, ignition repair and fleet key work. David Shar has led the company since 1987, and that experience matters on vehicles, where a careless approach can damage weatherstripping, wiring or door electronics.

We work on personal cars as well as the work vehicles that keep Irwindale's industrial side moving. A pickup left at a quarry gate, a box truck at a food plant dock, a motorcycle at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, or a family sedan in the original townsite all get the same careful approach: understand the problem, protect the vehicle, and fix it without unnecessary replacement.

How it works in Irwindale

  1. 1

    You call and describe the vehicle

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, year, where the vehicle is, and what happened: locked out, lost key, broken key or a key that will not turn. Details like whether it has a push-button start or a traditional key help us bring the right equipment.

  2. 2

    We confirm the details and the plan

    Before work starts we talk through what is needed and what affects the cost, so you know what to expect. We also ask you to confirm you are the owner or authorized user, which protects you and us.

  3. 3

    We come to your location

    We travel to you, whether that is a gravel yard off Irwindale Ave, a lot near the I-605 and Arrow Hwy interchange, a trailhead at Santa Fe Dam or a street in the old townsite. We are available around the clock.

  4. 4

    We open, cut or program with care

    For lockouts we use professional entry tools designed to avoid scratching paint or damaging door seals. For keys, we cut and program replacements to the vehicle's system, or extract a broken key and assess the lock or ignition.

  5. 5

    We test everything before we leave

    We try the new key or fob in the door, trunk and ignition, check remote functions, and make sure old problems like a sticky ignition are addressed. If a spare makes sense, we will mention it.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model and year, since newer and European models often use more complex security systems than older vehicles.
  • Type of key involved: a basic mechanical key, a transponder key, a remote head key or a smart key with push-button start.
  • Whether you need entry only, a duplicate, an all-keys-lost replacement or a broken-key extraction with lock repair.
  • Location and time of day, including how far we travel and whether the call is overnight or on a weekend or holiday.
  • Number of vehicles, which matters for fleet work, where multiple keys or locks can be handled in one visit.
  • Whether parts such as a new ignition cylinder, door lock or replacement fob blank are needed.

Why Irwindale chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we come to the vehicle, so you do not need a tow or a trip to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar guiding the work.
  • Experience with both personal vehicles and commercial or fleet trucks, which suits Irwindale's industrial mix.
  • Available 24/7, which matters for shift workers, event staff and drivers on the freeways.
  • We talk through the plan and pricing factors before starting, with no pressure to replace parts that can be repaired.
  • We also handle commercial gate locks and padlocks, so one call can cover a vehicle and the yard it is parked in.

Automotive Locksmith across Irwindale

Irwindale's land is mostly industrial, which shapes the calls we get. Around the quarry and industrial district near Santa Fe Dam, drivers and equipment operators park trucks and pickups at yards and pits, where a lost key or a locked cab can halt a shift. Distribution centers and food and beverage plants near the I-605 and Arrow Hwy interchange, including the area around Huy Fong Foods, add delivery vans and fleet vehicles that need quick key and lockout help.

The small residential community is concentrated in the original Irwindale townsite around Irwindale Ave and Los Angeles St, where older single-family homes and long-time residents make up most of the neighborhood. We serve drivers there too, including those with older vehicles that still use traditional keys and newer cars with transponder fobs. Addresses in ZIP code 91706 are the most common, and we also cover 91702 and 91010 nearby.

Events and recreation bring visitors, too. Cars get locked at the Irwindale Speedway & Event Center during races and shows, at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area on weekends, and around the Irwindale Metro A Line station, where commuters park. Because we are mobile and always on call, we can reach you on Arrow Hwy, Live Oak Ave, or just off the I-210 when you are stuck.
