A car lockout never happens at a convenient moment. In Pomona it tends to happen in the parking lot at Cal Poly Pomona after a late class, in a shopping center on Garey Ave, outside Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center after a long shift, or at home when a spare key is on the wrong side of the door. Whatever the setting, the goal is the same: get you back into your vehicle without scratched paint, bent door frames, or a broken window.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to, and that is the point. When you are locked out, the last thing you need is to find a way to a shop. We are available 24 hours a day, and the technician comes to wherever your vehicle is parked.

This page explains how a car lockout call works, what affects the cost, and what to expect with the kinds of vehicles and parking situations we see around Pomona. If you are standing next to your car right now, you can skip ahead and call (323) 997-8867.

How it works in Pomona

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where the vehicle is, its make, model, and approximate year, and whether the keys are inside the cabin, the trunk, or lost entirely. If a child or pet is inside, or the engine is running in a hot lot, say so right away so we can treat it as urgent and you can consider calling emergency services.

  2. 2

    We confirm the details and the plan

    We ask a few questions about the vehicle and your location, whether it is a campus lot, a curbside spot near Antique Row, or a home driveway in Phillips Ranch. Different vehicles call for different methods, so a clear description helps us bring the right tools.

  3. 3

    A technician comes to your vehicle

    Because we are fully mobile and available around the clock, a technician drives to you. We are not a shop, so there is nowhere for you to go. On arrival we ask for reasonable confirmation that the vehicle is yours, such as ID matching the registration or the vehicle documents.

  4. 4

    Damage-free entry

    We use professional unlocking tools designed to work with the door, not against it. The aim is to open the vehicle without damaging paint, weatherstripping, window glass, or the lock mechanism. We will tell you honestly if a particular vehicle has a quirk that changes the approach.

  5. 5

    Check and finish

    Once the door is open, we make sure the lock and door operate normally and you have your keys in hand. If your key was lost rather than locked inside, we can discuss key replacement options for your vehicle, and you decide how to proceed.

What affects the price

  • Time of day and day of the week, since this is a round-the-clock emergency service and overnight or holiday calls differ from daytime ones.
  • Where the vehicle is located within Pomona or the surrounding area, since we travel to you and distance is part of the job.
  • Vehicle make, model, and year, because some newer vehicles have more complex door and security systems than older ones.
  • Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, or have been lost entirely, which can turn a simple unlock into a key replacement conversation.
  • Difficult access conditions, such as a tight parking structure, a crowded Fairplex lot during an event, or poor lighting at night.
  • Any additional service you request after the unlock, such as a spare key or key duplication.

Why Pomona chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at 2 a.m. near the SR-60 gets the same attention as one at noon.
  • In business since 1987, which means decades of experience with the locks and vehicles that actually show up on Southern California roads.
  • Damage-free methods are the priority, not a last resort, so we are careful about paint, seals, and glass.
  • Owner-led operation under David Shar, so you are dealing with a locksmith who has a personal stake in the work being done right.
  • We do not quote made-up arrival times or flat promises we cannot keep; we tell you what we can actually do for your vehicle.
  • One company handles the whole picture: after the lockout we can help with spare keys, and we also handle home, commercial, and padlock work around Pomona.

Car Lockout across Pomona

Pomona is a city built around its roads and its car culture. The I-10, SR-60, SR-57, and SR-71 all meet here, and many of our calls start with someone who stopped for gas, food, or errands along Holt Ave or Garey Ave and realized the keys were still inside. Whether you are in ZIP 91766 near the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, in 91767 close to downtown, in 91768, or in 91769, our technicians travel to you.

Parking situations here are varied. In the Downtown Pomona Arts Colony, evenings around the dA Center for the Arts and Antique Row on 2nd Street can mean tight curbside parking and crowds. Around Cal Poly Pomona and Western University of Health Sciences, students and staff often park in large lots and structures, where a quick call can save a long wait for a ride. In Phillips Ranch and Ganesha Hills, many lockouts happen right in a residential driveway or garage, where the spare key is just inside the house.

During LA County Fair setup and events at Fairplex, big lots fill quickly and vendors are often juggling vehicles, equipment, and tight schedules. We also handle padlock and storage problems, so if a vendor's lock seizes along with a vehicle issue, one call can cover both. In Lincoln Park Historic District and Westmont, older neighborhoods with narrow streets and shared driveways can make access tricky, so tell us about any gate codes or parking restrictions when you call (323) 997-8867.
