Car trouble in Moorpark rarely happens at a convenient spot. It might be a lockout in a Moorpark College parking lot, a lost key at the Metrolink station after a long commute, or a truck that won't turn over on a ranch road off Los Angeles Ave. Because we are fully mobile, the shop comes to you. There is no storefront to visit and no need to tow a car anywhere just to get a key made.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has spent decades working on the locks, keys and ignition systems that vehicles actually use. Our automotive work covers cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and business fleets: lockout entry, cutting and programming new keys, repairing worn or broken ignitions, extracting broken keys and addressing key fobs that have stopped working.
This page explains how a typical call goes, what influences the cost, and what is specific about working on vehicles in Moorpark, from commuters on SR-23 and SR-118 to farm trucks and trailers on the city's agricultural edge. If you are stranded right now, skip ahead and call (323) 997-8867. We are available 24/7.
How it works in Moorpark
- 1
You call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and year of the vehicle, where it is parked, and what happened: locked out, lost keys, a broken key in the ignition, or a fob that no longer responds. Those details tell us what tools and key blanks to bring. We will also ask you to confirm you are the owner or authorized driver.
- 2
We drive to your location
Our technician travels to you, whether you are on High Street downtown, in a driveway in Peach Hill, at a park-and-ride lot or on a rural road. We are a 24/7 mobile service, so nights, weekends and holidays are treated like any other call. We will not make promises about arrival timing that we cannot verify.
- 3
Verification and assessment
Before any work begins, we confirm ownership with identification and registration or other proof appropriate to the vehicle. Then we look at the lock, ignition or key system to settle on the least invasive fix. The goal is always to get you in or running without damaging doors, wiring or trim.
- 4
Entry, cutting or programming
For a lockout, we use professional entry tools designed to protect paint, weatherstripping and window mechanisms. For keys, we cut and program replacements on site, including transponder keys and many remote fobs. For ignition problems, we repair or rekey the cylinder where that is the right solution.
- 5
Testing and handoff
We test every key in the doors, ignition and any remote functions before we leave. If a spare makes sense, we can usually make one in the same visit, which is the cheapest time to do it. You get a clear explanation of what was done and what, if anything, to watch for.

What affects the price
- Type of service: a simple lockout involves different work than all-keys-lost replacement, ignition repair or broken key extraction.
- Vehicle make, model and year: many newer vehicles use transponder chips, smart keys or push-button start, which require more specialized equipment and programming.
- Key type needed: a basic mechanical key, a transponder key, a remote head key and a proximity fob each involve different parts and labor.
- Time and conditions of the call: after-hours service, remote locations and difficult access can affect the total.
- Number of keys: cutting a spare during the same visit is usually more economical than a separate call later.
- Vehicle category: motorcycles, RVs, work trucks and fleet vehicles sometimes have unusual locks, which can change the work required.
Why Moorpark chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7: we come to your vehicle instead of asking you to tow it or find a shop.
- Operating since 1987 under owner and lead technician David Shar, so the experience behind the work is real and long-standing.
- Broad vehicle coverage: cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, including the farm and work vehicles common around Moorpark's agricultural edge.

- One crew for vehicle, home and business locks: if your keys were stolen along with a wallet, we can also help you rekey the house.
Automotive Locksmith across Moorpark
Moorpark's layout shapes the kinds of automotive calls we see. Commuters in Peach Hill, Mountain Meadows and Campus Park rely on SR-23 and SR-118 every day, and many park at the Moorpark Metrolink Station or leave vehicles in lots around Moorpark College and America's Teaching Zoo. A dropped key in a long commute day or a fob battery that quits in a parking lot is a typical story. In ZIP code 93021, which covers much of the city's newer neighborhoods, we often program replacement fobs for late-model cars and trucks.
Downtown, Old Town Moorpark along High Street has a different rhythm. Visitors to the High Street Arts Center and diners and shoppers along the street park on narrow blocks, and lockouts happen when someone steps away from the car for a moment. Parking along Spring Rd, Tierra Rejada Rd and Princeton Ave sees a steady flow of errands and school runs. In ZIP code 93020 and the surrounding areas, we also help drivers whose older vehicles have worn ignitions or keys that have simply given up.
On the city's agricultural fringe along Los Angeles Ave, near Underwood Family Farms, trucks, trailers and equipment work hard and keys get lost in fields and barns. We can cut replacement keys for work vehicles, address stuck locks and help with fleet vehicles for local businesses. Whatever and wherever it is in Moorpark, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
