A car lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Oxnard it tends to happen at the exact spots people love: a beach parking lot at Oxnard State Beach or Silver Strand, the docks near Channel Islands Harbor, a grocery run along Rose Ave, or a shopping trip at The Collection at RiverPark. Keys end up on the seat, in the trunk, or in a jacket you left in the back, and the door clicks shut. Crenshaw Lock Company is a fully mobile locksmith, so we come to wherever the car is parked.

We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on a simple idea: get the vehicle open without harming it. We use professional lockout methods designed to protect paint, weatherstripping, door electronics and the lock itself, rather than prying, wedging blindly or breaking glass.

We are available around the clock, every day. There is no storefront to visit, because the work happens beside your vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us where you are and what you're driving, and we'll take it from there. This page explains what to expect, what affects the cost, and a few Oxnard-specific tips for avoiding a repeat.

How it works in Oxnard

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your location, the make, model and approximate year of the vehicle, and whether the keys are inside the cabin or the trunk. Mention if a child or pet is inside, or if you're in a hot, exposed spot, so we can treat it with the right urgency.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to your car, whether it's in a driveway in Oxnard Shores, a lot near Heritage Square, a parking structure, or the shoulder near US-101. We don't give arrival-time promises we can't keep, but we are on call 24/7 and will keep you updated.

  3. 3

    Verifying ownership

    Before opening any vehicle we ask you to show that it's yours, typically through a photo ID and registration or similar documentation that matches the vehicle. It's a routine safeguard that protects you as much as anyone.

  4. 4

    Damage-free entry

    We assess the door, window and lock design and choose the least invasive method for that vehicle. The goal is to open it without scratching paint, bending frames, tearing seals or triggering electrical faults.

  5. 5

    Check and handoff

    Once the door is open, we confirm the lock, handle and window work normally and that you have your keys in hand. If your key is lost entirely or the lock is damaged, we can talk through replacement or key options on the spot.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: late-night, weekend and holiday calls involve different logistics than a weekday daytime visit.
  • Your location within Oxnard and Ventura County, including how far the technician must travel from the previous call.
  • Vehicle type: some newer models with advanced door systems or shielded electronics take more care than a simple older lock.
  • Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, since trunk access can require a different approach.
  • Whether the lock itself is damaged or a key must also be made or replaced, which becomes a separate piece of work from the unlock.
  • Difficult conditions such as a crowded beach lot, tight parking structure or poor lighting that slow safe, careful work.

Why Oxnard chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7: we drive to your vehicle at any hour, with no shop to travel to.
  • In business since 1987, so our technicians have handled a very wide range of locks and vehicles over decades.
  • Damage-avoidance mindset: we choose the gentlest method for your specific car instead of forcing entry.
  • Owner-led operation under David Shar, with accountability for how each job is handled.
  • Straightforward conversation about cost factors before work starts, with no surprise add-ons.
  • Full lock and key capability, so if your key is lost or a lock is worn, we can address that in the same visit.

Car Lockout across Oxnard

Oxnard is spread out, and car lockouts show up in every part of it. Along the coast, Oxnard Shores, Hollywood Beach and the lots at Oxnard State Beach and Silver Strand see visitors who step out for a walk and discover the keys are still in the car. Salt air is hard on metal, so door handles and lock cylinders on coastal vehicles can feel stiff over time, and a worn lock is more likely to fail at a bad moment. If yours is sticking, mention it when we arrive.

Inland, we regularly help drivers around RiverPark and The Collection at RiverPark, in the older streets of La Colonia, and near downtown attractions such as Heritage Square and the Carnegie Art Museum. Many downtown and La Colonia homes have tight street parking or shared lots, and we're used to working in those conditions. Drivers in ZIP codes 93030, 93033, 93035 and 93036 can all reach us at (323) 997-8867.

Commuters on US-101, SR-1 (Oxnard Blvd), SR-232 (Vineyard Ave), Rice Ave, Victoria Ave, Channel Islands Blvd and Wooley Rd also call us when they're stuck at a gas stop or workplace lot. Agricultural and industrial areas have plenty of work trucks and fleet vehicles, and we can help there too. A spare key kept somewhere safe, not in the car, is the cheapest way to avoid calling us at all.
