A locked safe you can't open is stressful, especially when it holds documents, valuables, cash or business records. Forgotten combinations, dead keypad batteries, lost keys, jammed bolts and a handle that spins freely are all common problems, and each one calls for a different approach. Forcing a safe open can damage the lock, the door or the contents, so careful technique matters.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Los Angeles-area customers since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, so we come to your home, office or business with our tools instead of asking you to move a heavy safe. We work on both residential and commercial safes.
Beyond emergency openings, we also handle routine safe service: changing a combination after an employee leaves or a household change, repairing a lock that has become unreliable, and getting a safe working smoothly again. If you aren't sure what your safe needs, call and describe it, and we'll talk through the options honestly.
How our safe locksmith service works
- 1
Tell us about the safe
When you call (323) 997-8867, describe the safe: its type (dial, electronic keypad, key lock), the brand if you know it, where it is, and what is going wrong. This helps us plan the right tools and approach before we arrive.
- 2
We come to you
We are fully mobile and travel to your home or business. The safe stays where it is, so you don't have to move something heavy or risk damaging it in transit.
- 3
Confirm ownership and assess
Before opening a safe we ask for reasonable confirmation that you own it or are authorized to access it. Then we inspect the lock type, the condition of the mechanism and any signs of damage to choose the least invasive method.
- 4
Open or repair the safe
We work to open the safe with as little damage as the situation allows. If the lock or mechanism is faulty, we repair it so the safe operates properly afterward, rather than just getting you in once.
- 5
Change the combination or reset access
Once the safe is open, we can change the combination, set new keypad codes or address key issues so access is under your control going forward.
- 6
Test and walk you through it
We test the safe several times with the door open and closed, and show you how to operate it. We recommend recording the new combination somewhere secure, separate from the safe.
What affects the price
- The type of lock: mechanical dial, electronic keypad and key-operated safes each take different skills and time.
- The make, model and build quality of the safe, including any added protection against drilling or tampering.
- Whether the job is an opening, a repair, a combination change, or a combination of these.
- How much the safe has been damaged or malfunctioned, such as a jammed bolt or failed keypad.
- Time of day and location: after-hours calls and travel distance across our service area can affect the quote.
- Whether replacement parts, such as a new keypad or lock, are needed.
