A lockout never picks a convenient time. In Santa Clarita it might be a late shift ending in Valencia, a family returning from a day at Six Flags Magic Mountain to find a key gone missing, or a front door that will not turn after a long winter. Crenshaw Lock Company is a fully mobile locksmith, so there is no shop to drive to. We bring the tools and parts to your driveway, parking structure or loading dock.
Crenshaw Lock has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being reachable when something urgent goes wrong with a lock. Emergency work covers home lockouts, car lockouts, snapped keys, jammed or damaged deadbolts, locks left compromised after a break-in or attempted break-in, and commercial doors that will not secure.
Much of Santa Clarita was built as master-planned tracts from the 1970s through the 2000s, and that shapes the calls we get. Builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage hardware on two-story homes with attached garages is common, and so are HOA rules and gated entrances. We know how those pieces fit together, and we aim to get you inside and secure with as little damage as possible.
How it works in Santa Clarita
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us where you are, what is locked or broken, and whether it is a house, vehicle or business. A few details help us bring the right tools and parts the first time.
- 2
Confirm who you are
Before opening anything we ask for reasonable proof that you live in, own or are authorized to access the property or vehicle. It protects you and your neighbors, and a legitimate locksmith should always ask.
- 3
Non-destructive entry first
Where possible we use picking, bypass or specialty entry tools so the lock, door and finish are left intact. Drilling is a last resort for damaged or high-security hardware, and we explain why before we do it.
- 4
Repair, rekey or replace on the spot
Once you are in, we can fix a worn cylinder, extract a broken key, rekey the lock so lost keys no longer work, or replace hardware that was damaged. Because we are mobile, we carry common residential and commercial parts.
- 5
Test and secure before we leave
We operate every lock we touched, check the strike and latch alignment, and cut spare keys if needed. You leave with a door that closes and locks properly, not a temporary fix.

What affects the price
- The type of lock involved: a standard tract-home deadbolt is a different job than a high-security cylinder, a commercial exit device or a smart lock.
- Whether entry can be done without damage, or the lock has to be drilled or the hardware replaced.
- What follows the lockout: opening only, a broken-key extraction, a rekey, or new hardware and keys.
- Vehicle details such as make, model, year and key or transponder type for automotive emergencies.
- Time and location of the call, including late-night, weekend or holiday dispatch and the distance to your site across the Santa Clarita Valley.
- Site complexity, such as a gated community entrance, a commercial building with multiple doors, or hardware that needs special parts.
Why Santa Clarita chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, so help comes to your location rather than asking you to travel.
- In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar behind the work.
- Familiar with the hardware found in Santa Clarita tract homes, including builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage cylinders and attached-garage entry doors.
- Able to handle residential, automotive and commercial emergencies, from a house deadbolt to a warehouse panic bar.
- Non-destructive entry is the first approach, and we tell you what is needed before work begins.
- Honest advice on whether a lock should be repaired, rekeyed or replaced, rather than pushing the biggest job.
Emergency Locksmith across Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita covers a lot of ground, and emergencies happen across all of it. We get calls from Newhall and Old Town Newhall, where older doors and mixed hardware can make a stubborn lock, and from Saugus, where new homeowners in HOA tracts often want every exterior cylinder matched to one key right after closing. Canyon Country has gated communities where pedestrian-gate locks, keypads and fobs sometimes fail, and Valencia and Plum Canyon have newer homes, townhomes and condos where smart locks and garage entries are common.
We work throughout ZIP codes including 91321, 91350, 91351, 91354, 91355, 91387 and 91390. Getting around usually means I-5, CA-14 (Antelope Valley Fwy), Sierra Highway, Soledad Canyon Rd, Bouquet Canyon Rd, Valencia Blvd or Newhall Ranch Rd, and we plan routes with that in mind. Whether you are locked out near Westfield Valencia Town Center, at College of the Canyons, or at a trailhead near William S. Hart Park or Vasquez Rocks, we come to you.
Businesses are covered too. A commercial lockout at a Valencia Industrial Center warehouse, for example, may involve a jammed panic bar or worn exit device that needs repair so the door both secures and still lets people out safely. Crenshaw Lock is mobile only, with no storefront, so call (323) 997-8867 and we will dispatch to your door.
