Emergencies do not keep business hours, and neither do we. Crenshaw Lock Company has answered after-hours calls across Los Angeles since 1987, working out of the Crenshaw district and reaching the whole city around the clock. Whether you are standing outside your own front door at two in the morning or trying to make a pried-open door close again after a break-in, a mobile technician is dispatched to wherever you are.

Because we are fully mobile, there is no shop for you to get to — the van is the shop. That matters most in an emergency, when the last thing you want is to leave a vulnerable door and drive somewhere. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we confirm the price before any work begins. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will get moving.

How it works in Los Angeles

  1. 1

    Call and tell us what happened

    Explain the situation and your exact location in LA. We confirm what the job needs and give you a clear price up front — no guessing once we arrive.

  2. 2

    We dispatch the nearest tech

    A mobile locksmith heads to you with the tools and common hardware already in the van, so most emergencies are handled in a single visit.

  3. 3

    We verify you belong there

    For any lockout we confirm you are the resident, tenant or authorized person before we open anything. It protects you and your neighbors.

  4. 4

    We open or secure the door

    We use the least-invasive method that works — picking or bypassing before anything destructive — then repair or replace hardware as needed.

  5. 5

    You are safe before we leave

    We test every lock and key, make sure the door closes and latches, and walk you through anything new.

  • We open with the least-invasive method first, to spare your door

Emergency Locksmith across Los Angeles

Los Angeles is really dozens of neighborhoods stitched together, and each one locks up a little differently. Around our Crenshaw-district base in the 90008, the streets of Leimert Park, Baldwin Hills and West Adams are full of 1920s-to-1940s Spanish Colonial and Craftsman homes — beautiful, and often still running their original mortise locksets and interior skeleton-key doors. When one of those seizes up at night, it is not a part you pull off a big-box shelf, which is exactly the kind of after-hours call we are built for.

Throughout South LA you will also find wrought-iron security screen doors and window bars doing real work. After an attempted break-in we straighten and re-secure that screen door, then add a Grade-1 deadbolt to the main door so the home locks properly again before we leave. Over in Hollywood, Koreatown and Downtown the stock shifts to courtyard and mid-century apartments and newer multifamily buildings, where we handle unit lockouts, mailbox and gate issues, and failed electronic entry just as readily.

We cover the whole city — if you are near Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, Leimert Park Village, Exposition Park, Griffith Observatory, Union Station or anywhere in between, call (323) 997-8867 and we will confirm we can reach you.

Emergency Locksmith in Los Angeles — FAQs

Are you really available 24 hours a day in Los Angeles?
Yes. We answer emergency calls day and night across LA, including weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and a technician is dispatched to your location.
I'm locked out of my LA apartment — can you help tonight?
Yes. Residential and apartment lockouts are one of our most common after-hours calls. We come to you, confirm you are authorized to enter, and open the door without damage whenever possible.
Someone tried to break in — can you re-secure my door right now?
Yes. We straighten pried doors and iron security screen doors, replace damaged locks, and add a Grade-1 deadbolt so your home locks properly again. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will get there as fast as we can.
Can you work on the original locks in an older LA home?
Absolutely — the 1920s mortise locks and skeleton-key doors common in Leimert Park, West Adams and Baldwin Hills are routine for us. We repair them where we can and match replacements to the period door when we cannot.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile — there is no storefront. In an emergency that matters: you never have to leave a vulnerable door to get help.
How much will an emergency call cost?
It depends on the job, the hardware and the time of day. We give you the price over the phone before any work begins, so there are no surprises when we arrive.

The whole city — from the Crenshaw district, Baldwin Hills and West Adams to Hollywood, Koreatown, Downtown and beyond. Call and we will confirm we reach your address.
