A lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Moorpark it might happen when you step out to the trash bin at night in Peach Hill, when a key snaps in the front door in Mountain Meadows, or when a gate padlock seizes on a ranch property just as the workday begins. Whatever the situation, you need a person who can get you back inside without damaging the door and without a runaround.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. We are 24/7 and fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to, because the shop comes to you in a service vehicle equipped for the job. Our emergency dispatch covers homes, commercial buildings, vehicles and rural properties across the city.

Moorpark has a wider mix of hardware than people expect. Most of the city is 1980s through 2000s tract housing with standard cylindrical locks and deadbolts, but Old Town along High Street still has early-20th-century bungalows and brick commercial buildings with original mortise locks, and newer subdivisions increasingly use smart locks. Each of these calls for a different approach, and we match the method to the lock rather than forcing every door the same way.

How it works in Moorpark

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us where you are, what type of lock or door is involved, and whether anyone, such as a child, a pet or someone vulnerable, is locked inside. That helps us bring the right tools and prioritize correctly.

  2. 2

    Dispatch to your location

    We dispatch a mobile technician to your address, whether that is a cul-de-sac in Campus Park, a storefront on High Street, a parking lot near the Metrolink station or a farm gate off Los Angeles Ave. We do not make timing promises we cannot keep, but we are available around the clock.

  3. 3

    Verify who you are

    Before opening anything, we ask for reasonable proof that you live at, own or are authorized to access the property or vehicle. This protects you and your neighbors, and a legitimate locksmith should always do it.

  4. 4

    Choose the least destructive entry

    We start with non-destructive methods such as picking, bypass or shimming so the lock and door survive. Older mortise sets and skeleton-key hardware get extra care. If a lock is damaged beyond saving, we explain the options before drilling anything.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace on the spot

    Once you are in, we can fix a failing latch, rekey the cylinder if keys were lost or stolen, cut new keys, or replace the hardware. Because we work from a mobile setup, many fixes can be finished in the same visit.

  6. 6

    Confirm and secure

    We test the lock with you, hand over working keys, and point out any weaknesses such as a loose strike plate or short screws, so the door is actually secure when we leave.

What affects the price

  • Time of day and urgency: a late-night or holiday call involves different scheduling than a daytime visit.
  • Type of lock: a basic deadbolt, an older mortise lock, a high-security cylinder and a smart lock each take different skill and time.
  • Lock or key condition: a broken key in the cylinder, a seized padlock or a damaged latch can add labor beyond a simple opening.
  • Whether you need replacement parts, rekeying or new keys cut after we get you inside.
  • Location and access: a remote ranch property or a gated area may involve different travel than a home in town.
  • Vehicle or property type: cars, commercial doors and barn or gate hardware each need different tools and methods.

Why Moorpark chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so help comes to your door instead of you hunting for a shop that is open.
  • In business since 1987 and led by owner David Shar, with decades of experience on everything from modern deadbolts to old mortise sets.
  • Comfortable with Moorpark's mix of hardware, including High Street historic locks, tract-home deadbolts, smart locks and rural gate padlocks.
  • Non-destructive entry first, so we protect your door, frame and finish whenever it is possible.
  • Clear explanation of the work and your options before we begin, with no pressure to replace what can be repaired.
  • Identity verification on every call, because a trustworthy locksmith should protect your property as carefully as ours.

Emergency Locksmith across Moorpark

Moorpark stretches from the historic blocks of Old Town along High Street out to the suburban neighborhoods of Peach Hill, Mountain Meadows and Campus Park. In ZIP code 93021 and 93020 we respond to homes, offices, vehicles and farm properties alike. A commuter locked out near the Moorpark Metrolink Station, a family in Campus Park who lost their keys, and a ranch hand at a gate along Los Angeles Ave (SR-118) all call for different tools and the same level of care.

Old Town is a good example of why local knowledge matters. Many early-20th-century bungalows and brick or wood commercial buildings near the High Street Arts Center may still carry original mortise locks and skeleton-key hardware. Those can often be serviced or matched with period-appropriate replacements instead of being ripped out. In Peach Hill and Mountain Meadows, where homes mostly date from the 1980s to the 2000s, we frequently see standard deadbolts, as well as owners moving to smart locks and master-keyed setups after a purchase or resale.

The agricultural edge of the city adds another kind of call: barn padlocks, gate locks and equipment security near places like Underwood Family Farms, where weather and dust can seize a lock completely. We also reach drivers and students around Moorpark College and the America's Teaching Zoo, and anyone stuck along SR-23, Tierra Rejada Rd, Spring Rd or Princeton Ave. We are mobile only, so we come to wherever you are.
