A house lockout never happens at a convenient moment. It happens when you step out to grab the mail, when the wind pulls a door shut behind you, or when you come home from the harbor with your hands full and the keys are sitting on the kitchen counter. In Oxnard, it can also happen because a deadbolt on a beach-side home has quietly been fighting salt air for years and finally refuses to turn. Whatever the reason, the goal is the same: get you back inside without breaking anything.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around one principle: a lockout should end with your door still intact. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, so we come to your front door, whether that is a bungalow near La Colonia, a condo near Channel Islands Harbor, or a modern home in RiverPark.
We work around the clock, every day of the year. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us what kind of door and lock you have, and we will walk you through what to expect before any work begins. We make no promises about timing over the phone that we cannot keep, but we will be honest with you about what is happening and what the job involves.
How it works in Oxnard
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. We ask what type of home it is, which door is locked, what kind of lock you see, and whether anyone or anything inside needs urgent attention, such as a child, a pet or something on the stove. This helps us bring the right tools.
- 2
Confirm who you are
Before we open a home, we need to be reasonably sure you live there or have the right to enter. Expect to show an ID with a matching address, a piece of mail, or a lease, which protects you and your neighbors. Property managers and landlords can authorize entry for their units.

Assess the lock and door
On arrival we look at the lock, the door and the frame. Standard deadbolts, knob locks, lever handles, sliding doors and older beach-house hardware all call for different techniques. Salt-corroded locks in places like Oxnard Shores or Hollywood Beach sometimes need extra care.
- 4
Non-destructive entry
We use professional picking, bypass and decoding methods first, because the aim is to keep your lock and door undamaged. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock is seized, broken or too corroded to manipulate, and we explain that before doing it.
- 5
Check the lock and secure the home
Once you are inside, we confirm the lock operates smoothly. If the lockout exposed a problem, such as a sticky cylinder, a loose strike plate or a worn key, we point it out and offer repair, rekeying or replacement. The decision is yours.

What affects the price
- Time of day: nights, weekends and holidays can affect the service call, even though we are available 24/7.
- Lock type and condition: a standard deadbolt is different from a high-security cylinder, a smart lock, or an old salt-damaged lock that has seized.
- Door type: sliding glass doors, French doors and multi-point locks need different tools and more time than a basic entry door.
- Whether drilling or part replacement is needed: most lockouts are opened without damage, but a corroded or broken lock may require replacement hardware.
- Extra work after entry: making replacement keys, rekeying after lost keys, or installing a new deadbolt are separate from the lockout itself.
- Location within our service area: distance from our technician at the time of your call can be a factor, and we will explain it when you phone.
Why Oxnard chooses us
- Fully mobile and 24/7: we come to your door at any hour, with no shop to drive to.
- In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work, so the experience behind each lockout is long-standing rather than borrowed.
- Damage-free entry is the default: we try non-destructive methods first and explain it clearly if a lock must be drilled.
- Familiarity with coastal wear: we know salt air seizes and corrodes deadbolts, hinges and keyways on beach homes, and we plan for it.
- Comfortable with rentals and multifamily buildings, including tenant lockouts and property-manager authorization.
- Honest conversation before work starts: we describe what the job involves and what affects the cost, with no pressure to buy extras.
House Lockout across Oxnard
Oxnard is the most populous city in Ventura County, and its housing is varied enough that no two lockouts look quite alike. In the beach communities of Oxnard Shores, Hollywood Beach and Silver Strand, 1950s to 1970s cottages sit beside newer multi-story coastal homes. The salt air is hard on hardware there, and a lockout is sometimes really a seized deadbolt or a pitted hinge that finally gave up. If you are in the 93035 ZIP code near Channel Islands Harbor or Oxnard State Beach, we treat the lock gently and tell you if replacement makes sense.
Inland, the picture changes. RiverPark, close to The Collection at RiverPark, is mostly 2000s mixed-use development with modern homes, apartments and newer lock hardware, including keypad and smart locks that can lock people out through a dead battery. Around La Colonia and downtown, near Heritage Square and the Carnegie Art Museum, older bungalows and dense rental-heavy multifamily buildings are common. Tenants lock themselves out often, and landlords sometimes ask us to rekey between residents. Those areas fall in ZIP codes such as 93030 and 93036, while 93033 covers other parts of the city.
Getting around Oxnard usually means US-101, SR-1 (Oxnard Blvd / PCH), SR-232 (Vineyard Ave), or surface streets like Rice Ave, Rose Ave, Channel Islands Blvd, Victoria Ave and Wooley Rd. Wherever you are along them, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you, day or night.
