A car lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Montebello it might happen in the lot at The Shops at Montebello with bags in your arms, on Washington Blvd after dinner, or in your own driveway in Montebello Hills just as you're heading out to the I-5. The keys are on the seat, the fob is in the trunk, or a door shut with everything still inside. Whatever the cause, the situation is stressful, and what you want is a clear plan and a careful hand.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We have no storefront for you to visit; the locksmith comes to wherever your vehicle is parked. David Shar has led the business since 1987, and our approach to car lockouts has stayed consistent: get the door open without scratching paint, bending frames, or damaging weatherstripping, and make sure you're back on your way with the vehicle just as you left it.

We handle keys locked in the cabin, keys locked in the trunk, and situations where a fob battery has failed or a key has been misplaced. We're available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. When you call (323) 997-8867, we'll ask a few simple questions about your vehicle and location so we can come prepared and tell you what to expect.

How it works in Montebello

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and approximate year of the vehicle, where you are in Montebello, and where the keys are. Mention whether a child or pet is inside, since that changes how we prioritize the call.

  2. 2

    Confirm location and safety

    We'll pin down your exact spot, whether it's a mall lot, a curb on Beverly Blvd or a driveway in North Montebello. If you feel unsafe where you are, we'll suggest waiting somewhere well lit or in a business until we arrive.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before opening any vehicle we ask for reasonable proof that it's yours, such as an ID matching the registration or insurance paperwork. This protects you and every other driver.

  4. 4

    Choose the least invasive entry method

    We pick the method that suits your vehicle's door, window and airbag layout. The goal is to open it without damaging paint, seals, wiring or the lock mechanism. We don't force doors or break glass.

  5. 5

    Check everything, then hand it back

    Once the door is open, we confirm the locks, handles and weatherstripping all work normally. If a key or fob issue caused the lockout, we can talk through next steps, such as a spare or replacement.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle type: some makes and models have door and window designs that call for more careful, time-consuming entry than others.
  • Time of day: nights, weekends and holidays can affect the quote because we operate 24/7 and a technician is dispatched outside regular hours.
  • Location: how far we have to travel within Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County, and whether access is easy or complicated by a gated lot or parking structure.
  • Trunk versus cabin: a locked trunk or a vehicle with keys sealed inside can involve a different approach than a simple door unlock.
  • Extra work: if you also need a spare key, fob programming or a broken key extracted, those are separate tasks and will be quoted before we start.

Why Montebello chooses us

  • Fully mobile, so we come to your car anywhere in Montebello instead of asking you to tow it to a shop.
  • Operating since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead tech guiding how we work.
  • Damage-free methods are the standard; we aim to leave your paint, seals and electronics untouched.
  • Available 24/7, which matters for late-night lockouts after events at Quiet Cannon or errands along Washington Blvd.
  • We explain the quote and the process before beginning, so there are no surprises when the door opens.

Car Lockout across Montebello

Montebello's layout creates its own lockout patterns. Drivers commuting along I-5 and I-710 often park near Washington Blvd or Montebello Blvd and run errands, while shoppers at The Shops at Montebello can lock keys in a car in a big, busy lot. We regularly work around malls, retail strips and street parking in ZIP code 90640, and we'll meet you wherever the car is.

Residential areas matter too. In North Montebello, with its older single-family homes and driveways, lockouts often happen at the curb or in a tight driveway. In Montebello Hills, newer hillside homes frequently have gated driveways, so we'll coordinate with you on access when you call. Nearby Montebello Gardens, just outside city limits, is also within our reach.

If you're at Grant Rea Park, visiting the Juan Matias Sanchez Adobe, or leaving an event at Quiet Cannon, a lockout can end a good day fast. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us which spot you're in. Being fully mobile, we come to you rather than the other way around.
