Sun Valley is a working district. Trucks, vans, box trucks and service vehicles come and go along San Fernando Road all day, and plenty of people commute from the quieter residential streets toward I-5 and CA-170. When a key snaps, a fob dies, or a door gets shut with the keys inside, the vehicle is often tied to someone's paycheck, not just their convenience.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile. There is no shop to tow your car to and no storefront to visit; the work happens at your vehicle, whether that is a driveway in Stonehurst, a yard lot off San Fernando Road, or a parking space near Hollywood Burbank Airport.

Our automotive work covers cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets. That includes lockouts, broken-key extraction, ignition and door lock repair, key cutting, transponder and remote programming, and replacement keys when every original is lost. We are available around the clock, and we will tell you plainly what your vehicle needs before work begins.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, approximate year and what happened: locked out, key lost, key broken, or a fob that stopped working. Mention whether it is a personal car, a work truck or part of a fleet, since that shapes the approach.

  2. 2

    Confirm location and safety

    We ask exactly where the vehicle is parked. A busy stretch of San Fernando Road, a yard behind a warehouse, and a quiet residential street each call for different setup. If you feel unsafe where you are waiting, tell us and we will plan around it.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before opening a vehicle or making a key, we ask for reasonable proof that it is yours or that you are authorized to service it, such as ID matched to registration or insurance. This protects you and it protects us.

  4. 4

    Entry or key work at the vehicle

    For lockouts we use non-destructive entry methods designed to avoid scratching paint or damaging weatherstripping. For lost or broken keys, we cut and program on-site, extract broken key fragments, or repair worn locks and ignitions as needed.

  5. 5

    Test everything before we leave

    We try the new key in the door, trunk and ignition, check remote functions, and confirm the vehicle starts. For fleets, we can label and organize keys so the next driver is not hunting for the right one.

What affects the price

  • Type of service: a simple lockout is a very different job from cutting and programming a new key from scratch.
  • Vehicle make, model and year: many newer vehicles use encrypted transponder or smart-key systems that take more equipment and time than older mechanical keys.
  • Whether you have a working key: duplicating an existing key is generally simpler than creating one when all keys are lost.
  • Condition of the lock or ignition: worn, damaged or previously tampered components may need repair before a key will work properly.
  • Time and location: after-hours calls and hard-to-reach spots can affect the quote, and we explain this up front.
  • Quantity of vehicles or keys: fleet work with several keys or units is scoped differently from a single-vehicle call.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987, so the work is done where your vehicle sits instead of requiring a tow.
  • Owner-led: David Shar is the owner and lead technician, and the standards come from the top.
  • Experience with commercial and fleet needs, which suits Sun Valley's mix of delivery, trade and industrial vehicles.
  • Honest scoping: we explain what your vehicle needs and what affects cost before work begins, with no invented numbers or pressure.
  • Non-destructive methods first, to protect door seals, paint and electronics wherever possible.
  • Available 24/7, because vehicle problems rarely happen at convenient hours.

Automotive Locksmith across Sun Valley

Sun Valley sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, and its geography shapes the calls we get. Along the San Fernando Road industrial corridor and behind Hollywood Burbank Airport, work vehicles are parked in lots, yards and loading areas, often well away from the front office. A driver who loses a key at the end of a long shift needs someone who can come to a gated yard, not just a curb. We are glad to work in those settings, and we can also look at yard gates and padlocks for the same business if you ask.

Residential Sun Valley is just as real. In and around Stonehurst, with its 1920s stone and clinker-brick homes, cars often sit on narrow streets or older driveways, and a lockout can happen right outside the front door. Up toward La Tuna Canyon, a stranded vehicle on a winding road is a different kind of problem, and we encourage you to get to a safe spot before calling. Whether you are in ZIP code 91352 near Glenoaks Boulevard, Sunland Boulevard or Vineland Avenue, or just off I-5 or CA-170, call (323) 997-8867.

Landmarks help us find you quickly: the LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks, the Stonehurst Recreation Center, or the Pink Motel and Cadillac Jack's Cafe on San Fernando Road. Tell us what you can see and we will work out the rest.
