Being locked out of your own home is stressful, whether you stepped outside to grab the mail, closed the door with the keys inside, or came home to find a key that suddenly won't turn. It tends to happen at the worst moments: late at night, in bad weather, or with kids, pets or groceries waiting. That's why we answer around the clock.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit. We come to your door, confirm you live there or are authorized to enter, and use professional non-destructive methods first so your lock and door stay intact whenever possible.

Houses, apartments and condos each present different hardware: deadbolts, knob locks, lever handles, smart locks, and multi-point or high-security setups. We approach each lockout based on what is actually on your door, rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

How our house lockout service works

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us your location, the type of home (house, apartment or condo), and what kind of lock is on the door if you know. That helps us prepare before we arrive.

  2. 2

    We travel to you

    Our mobile technician drives to your address. There is no shop to visit, so you can wait somewhere safe and comfortable until we arrive.

  3. 3

    Verify you're allowed in

    Before opening any door, we ask for reasonable proof that you live there or have permission to enter, such as ID with a matching address or other documentation. This protects you and your neighbors.

  4. 4

    Assess the lock and door

    We look at the lock type, the condition of the door and frame, and whether anything is damaged, so we can choose the gentlest method that will work.

  5. 5

    Open the door without damage where possible

    We use professional non-destructive entry techniques first. If a lock is faulty or has been tampered with, we explain your options before doing anything more invasive.

  6. 6

    Confirm it works and discuss next steps

    Once you're in, we make sure the lock operates properly. If keys are lost or the lock is worn, we can talk through rekeying or replacement so you aren't locked out again.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: after-hours, weekend and holiday calls can be priced differently from daytime calls.
  • Your location and distance from our mobile technician, which varies across the LA and Ventura County service area.
  • Lock type and condition: standard deadbolts differ from high-security, smart or multi-point locks.
  • Door and access complexity, such as a damaged frame, a lock that is jammed, or a secondary lock or gate.
  • Whether you also need a rekey, a lost-key replacement, or new hardware after we get you in.

House Lockout — FAQs

What should I do first if I'm locked out of my house?
Stay calm, check for any unlocked doors or windows you can safely and legally use, and avoid forcing the lock, which can cause damage. If you still can't get in, call us at (323) 997-8867.
Will you damage my door or lock?
Our first approach is professional non-destructive entry, and in most situations we aim to leave your door and lock undamaged. If a lock is faulty or damaged, we'll explain the options first.
Do you handle apartment and condo lockouts?
Yes. We help with houses, apartments and condos. For rentals or HOA buildings, we may need to confirm you're authorized to enter, and some buildings have their own access rules.
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes. We ask for reasonable proof, such as ID that matches the address or other documentation. It's a standard safety step that protects residents.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes, we're available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your location, so there's no storefront to visit.
How is the price determined?
It depends on factors like time of day, your location, lock type and condition, and whether you need extra work such as rekeying. We don't quote numbers on this page, so call for details.
Can you rekey or replace the lock after getting me in?
Yes. If your keys were lost or stolen, or the lock is worn out, we can rekey or replace it so you're not locked out again and your home stays secure.
