A car problem rarely picks a convenient moment. In Rosemead it might be a locked door in a Rosemead Place parking lot after a long shift, a key snapped in the ignition outside a home near Garvey Park, or a fob that quit just before a drive onto the 10. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so the work happens right where your vehicle sits. There is no shop to tow it to and no storefront to visit.
We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on straightforward automotive work: getting people into their cars, making keys that start them, and repairing the locks and ignitions that fail. We work on cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleet vehicles, and we are available around the clock.
Many Rosemead drivers park on the street, in apartment lots, in shared driveways or behind businesses along Valley Boulevard and Garvey Avenue. That means the service has to adapt to the location, whether a tight residential lot or a busy commercial strip. We explain what we plan to do and what affects the price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
How it works in Rosemead
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and year, where you are in Rosemead, and what happened: locked out, lost keys, broken key, or a fob that will not respond. Those details help us bring the right tools and key blanks.
- 2
We confirm the details and the quote factors
Before heading out we go over what influences the price for your situation, such as the vehicle type and whether a key must be made. You then decide whether to go ahead.
- 3
We come to your vehicle
Our technician drives to you, whether you are in a driveway in North Rosemead, an apartment lot in South Rosemead, or a parking space along Garvey Avenue. We confirm you are the owner or authorized driver before starting.
- 4
Entry, cutting or repair
For lockouts we use professional entry tools designed to protect paint, weatherstripping and door electronics. For keys, we cut and program on site. For worn or damaged ignitions and door locks, we repair or replace the parts involved.
- 5
Testing and handoff
We test every key and fob: locks, unlocks, trunk, and starting the engine. If you needed a spare, we can make one while we are there so you are not stranded again.

What affects the price
- Vehicle make, model and year, since newer vehicles with transponder chips or smart keys need more programming than older mechanical-key vehicles.
- The type of key involved: a basic metal key, a transponder key, a remote head key, or a push-button-start smart key.
- Whether you have any working key. Duplicating from a working key is generally simpler than creating a new key from scratch when all keys are lost.
- The nature of the lockout or lock damage, including whether an ignition or door lock needs repair or replacement.
- Time of day and your location, since after-hours calls and travel distance can affect the total.
- Vehicle type, such as a motorcycle, RV or fleet truck, which may involve specialty locks or several vehicles in one visit.
Why Rosemead chooses us
- Fully mobile: every job is done at your car in Rosemead, with no towing to a shop.
- In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
- Available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, with no timing promises we cannot keep.
- We handle cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, so one call covers a family car or a business's work vans.

- Key cutting and programming happen on site, so you leave with a tested key, not a promise.
Automotive Locksmith across Rosemead
Rosemead is a dense valley-floor city, and cars here live in a mix of places: driveways and converted garages in the 1950s and 1960s ranch neighborhoods of North Rosemead and South Rosemead, apartment lots, and commercial parking along Valley Boulevard and Garvey Avenue. Each setting has its own quirks. Apartment parking can be tight, and shared driveways limit access, so we plan around the space available.
Residents and workers in ZIP codes 91770, 91771 and 91772 commute on I-10, Rosemead Boulevard (SR-19), San Gabriel Boulevard and Valley Boulevard. Employees at the Southern California Edison headquarters campus, shoppers at Rosemead Place, and families visiting Garvey Park or the nearby Whittier Narrows Recreation Area sometimes find themselves locked out or with a dead fob far from home. We come to wherever the car is.
Businesses in the Garvey district and along Valley Boulevard, including markets and restaurants, often depend on delivery vans and work trucks. When one of those loses a key or locks up, downtime costs money. We can help with fleet vehicles and make spare keys so a single lost key does not stop operations. We also do locksmith work for homes and businesses if you need it while we are there.
