A lockout never picks a good moment. In Pico Rivera it might be a late shift ending in North Pico Rivera, a grocery run to Towne Center that ended with keys left on the kitchen counter, or a child home from Smith Park who pulled the door shut behind them. Whatever the cause, you are standing outside your own home and want back in without a broken lock or a ruined door frame.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar has spent decades working on the kinds of locks found in Pico Rivera neighborhoods. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; the work happens at your door, at any hour, any day of the year.

Our goal on a house lockout is simple: get you inside with the least damage possible, then make sure the lock still works properly afterward. Many of the homes here are single-story stucco tract houses from the 1950s, and their original hardware can be worn, corroded or misaligned. Sometimes the lockout is really a symptom of a lock that was due for attention, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case.

How it works in Pico Rivera

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us the address or nearest cross street, what type of door you have, and whether it is a house, apartment or condo. Mention if anyone vulnerable, such as a child, an older relative or a pet, is inside so we can understand how urgent it is.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are

    Before opening a door we need to be reasonably sure you live there or are authorized to be there. Expect to be asked for something like an ID with the address, a piece of mail, or a lease. This protects residents and is standard practice for a responsible locksmith.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the entry hardware, deadbolt, strike plate and door condition. Older tract-home locksets and original deadbolts may behave differently from newer ones, so we choose the least invasive method before touching anything.

  4. 4

    Open the door without damage

    Where possible we use non-destructive techniques such as picking, bypass or shimming, which leave the lock, finish and frame intact. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock is damaged or seized, and we explain it first.

  5. 5

    Check the lock and offer options

    Once you are in, we make sure the lock turns and latches properly. If a deadbolt is corroded, a key is lost, or someone else may have your keys, we can rekey or replace the hardware on site. The decision is yours.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock on the door: a standard knob or deadbolt generally differs from a high-security cylinder, smart lock or multi-point system.
  • Whether a non-destructive entry works or the lock is damaged, corroded or seized and needs more involved work.
  • Time of day and day of the week, since nighttime, weekend and holiday calls involve different demands than a weekday daytime visit.
  • Your location within our Greater Los Angeles service area and how far we travel to reach you.
  • Whether you also want a rekey, a replacement deadbolt, new keys or a repaired strike plate after the door is open.
  • The number of locks on the entry, such as a deadbolt plus a security gate or secondary lock.

Why Pico Rivera chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7. We do not have a storefront, so everything is done at your door instead of sending you somewhere.
  • Serving the Los Angeles area since 1987, with owner David Shar directly involved in the business.
  • Damage-free entry is our first approach, which matters on older stucco homes where trim and frames can be fragile.
  • We can rekey or replace worn builder-grade locksets and original deadbolts on the spot, so you do not need a second visit.
  • We explain what we plan to do and what factors affect the cost before work begins, with no surprise add-ons.
  • We handle residential doors as well as nearby commercial situations, so one call covers a home, an ADU or a small business.

House Lockout across Pico Rivera

Pico Rivera was formed in 1958 when the Pico and Rivera districts incorporated, and much of the city still reflects that era: rows of single-story stucco homes on uniform lots in Pico, Rivera and North Pico Rivera. Many still carry their original entry locksets and deadbolts, and after decades of use, the weather and sometimes the humidity near the San Gabriel River, those parts can stick, corrode or fail. A lockout in 90660 or 90661 is often the moment a worn deadbolt finally gives up, which is when rekeying or replacing it makes sense.

We get to residents across the city, from homes near Smith Park and Streamland Park to blocks close to Whittier Blvd, Washington Blvd and Rosemead Blvd. Getting around is easy with the I-5 and I-605 running through, and the same approach works for apartments, condos and ADUs in 90662 as well. If you are locked out near the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area side of town, tell us your cross street and we will find you.

Our work is not limited to houses. A strip-mall tenant on Whittier Blvd with a broken key in the storefront lock, or a vendor setting up at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena who needs a padlock or commercial lock changed, can also call (323) 997-8867. For this page, though, the focus is simple: if you are locked out of your home in Pico Rivera, we come to you.

It depends on the lock type, the time of day, your location, the entry method needed and whether you want rekeying or replacement afterward. We explain these factors before starting work.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. We are fully mobile only and have no storefront. All work is done on location at your home or business.
