A car problem rarely picks a convenient place. In Pomona it might be a locked door in a Cal Poly Pomona parking structure, a lost key in the lot at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, or a key that snaps in the ignition on Holt Avenue after dark. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so we bring the tools and expertise to the vehicle instead of asking you to tow it anywhere. We have no storefront; the work happens where you are.

Our automotive work covers the situations people actually run into: getting into a locked car without damaging the door, door seal or paint; cutting and programming replacement keys when every key is lost; repairing worn or broken ignition cylinders; freeing a stuck steering lock; and helping with trunk and glovebox locks. We also handle motorcycles, trucks, RVs and work vehicles, which have their own lock designs and quirks.

Crenshaw Lock has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on straightforward, honest service. We are available 24/7. If you are stranded somewhere in Pomona, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what is going on and what the job is likely to involve before anything starts.

How it works in Pomona

1
Call and describe the vehicle
Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, year and approximate location. Knowing whether you have a traditional key, a transponder key or a push-button start helps us decide what to bring. Tell us if a child or pet is inside, or if you are in a hot or unsafe spot, so we can treat it with the right urgency.
2
Confirm ownership
Before opening or making a key for a vehicle, we ask for reasonable proof that it is yours or that you are authorized to access it, such as ID matching the registration or insurance paperwork. It protects you and every other driver in Pomona, and it is a normal part of legitimate locksmith work.
3
Assess the lock and the situation
On arrival we look at the door, ignition and key type. Lockouts can often be solved without any damage using non-marring entry tools. A lost-key situation is different, since it may involve cutting a key by code or by the lock and programming a transponder chip to the vehicle.
4
Do the work on site
Whether it is opening a door, extracting a broken key, repairing an ignition cylinder or producing a new key, we do it at the curb, in the driveway or in the parking lot. For fleets or multiple vehicles, we can often work through them in a single visit.
5
Test and hand over
We test every key in the door, trunk and ignition, confirm the vehicle starts and runs, and check that remotes work when relevant. Then we explain what was done and offer a spare key so you are not caught out again.

What affects the price

The type of key involved: a basic metal key, a transponder key, a remote flip key or a smart proximity key each require different blanks, equipment and programming time.
Whether you are locked out with a working key available or have lost all keys, since an all-keys-lost job generally takes more work than a simple entry.
The make, model and year of the vehicle, because some manufacturers need more involved security procedures than others.
Whether a lock component such as an ignition cylinder or door lock is damaged and needs repair or replacement rather than just opening or keying.
The time of day and the location, since late-night and hard-to-reach calls can differ from a daytime visit in a driveway.
The number of vehicles or keys in the job, as fleet work and multiple keys can be handled efficiently in one trip.

Automotive Locksmith across Pomona

Pomona sits at the junction of I-10, SR-60, SR-57 and SR-71, so a lot of vehicles pass through, and a lot of them end up stranded. We get to know the patterns: commuters in Phillips Ranch whose spare key is on the wrong side of the door, students around Cal Poly Pomona and Western University of Health Sciences who locked keys in a car on campus, and staff and visitors at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center on long shifts. Downtown, around the Arts Colony, the dA Center for the Arts and Antique Row on 2nd Street, street parking and evening crowds mean a lockout often happens after dark.

We work across Pomona's ZIP codes, including 91766 near Garey Avenue and the central city, 91767 and 91768 closer to downtown and the Holt Avenue corridor, and 91769. Neighborhoods like Ganesha Hills, Lincoln Park Historic District and Westmont have a mix of driveways, narrow older streets and apartment parking, and we are used to working in all of them. For residents in older homes, we also understand that the car key and the house key problems often show up on the same stressful day.

Fairplex and the LA County Fair bring their own needs: vendors, haulers and exhibitors with trucks, trailers and equipment vehicles who cannot afford to be stuck during setup. Because we are mobile and available around the clock, we can meet a work vehicle on the grounds or in an overflow lot. For property managers and businesses along Holt and Garey with multiple vehicles, call (323) 997-8867 to arrange fleet key work.
