A car lockout never happens at a convenient moment. In Sun Valley it might be in a warehouse lot off San Fernando Road at the end of a long shift, in a driveway in Stonehurst with groceries melting on the back seat, or on a quiet street near Hollywood Burbank Airport after a late flight. Whatever the setting, the problem is the same: the keys, or the fob, are on the wrong side of the glass.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on one idea: get people back into their vehicles without turning a bad moment into an expensive one. We are fully mobile and available around the clock. There is no storefront to visit and no need to tow your car anywhere. We come to the vehicle.

Our approach to a lockout is careful and unhurried in the way that matters: we use professional entry tools made for modern doors, weather stripping and window mechanisms, and we avoid anything that scratches paint, bends frames or damages wiring inside the door. Trunk lockouts, keys left running, and fobs locked inside are all part of what we handle. If the actual problem is a lost or broken key rather than a simple lockout, we can talk through that with you on the phone too.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model and approximate year of the vehicle, where it is parked, and whether the keys are inside the cabin, the trunk, or still in the ignition. Those details help us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm it is your vehicle

    Before we open any car, we ask for reasonable proof that the vehicle is yours, such as ID and registration or other documentation tying you to it. This protects you and it protects us. It is a normal part of legitimate locksmith work.

  3. 3

    Assess the door and lock type

    On arrival we look at the vehicle's lock design, window, and any aftermarket changes. Older cars, newer push-button start models, and commercial or fleet vehicles can each call for a different, gentler method.

  4. 4

    Unlock without damage

    We use professional non-marring tools to open the door or trunk, taking care around paint, weather seals, side airbags and door wiring. The goal is simple: the car opens and looks exactly as it did before.

  5. 5

    Check everything works

    Once you are in, we make sure the door locks, handles and windows operate normally. If a worn lock or a failing fob caused the lockout, we will tell you honestly and explain your options.

  6. 6

    Talk through prevention

    If useful, we discuss a spare key, a fob replacement, or other simple habits so the same thing does not happen again, especially if you drive for work and cannot afford downtime.

What affects the price

  • The type of vehicle: some makes and newer models have more complex door and window systems that take more care to work around.
  • Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, since trunk and rear-access situations can differ from a standard door lockout.
  • Time of day, since we operate 24/7 and late-night or holiday calls involve different circumstances than a daytime visit.
  • The location of the vehicle, including how far we travel across Sun Valley and surrounding areas and how accessible the parking spot is.
  • Whether any additional work is needed beyond unlocking, such as a spare key or fob service, which is a separate job from the lockout itself.
  • Fleet or multi-vehicle calls, where several vehicles at one business yard may be handled in a single visit.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile and on call 24/7, so we meet you at the vehicle rather than asking you to go anywhere.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar guiding how the work is done.
  • Damage-free methods are the starting point, not an afterthought, which matters on newer cars with sensitive door electronics.
  • Comfortable with both everyday drivers and work vehicles, including the kind of fleet and commercial trucks common around the San Fernando Road corridor.
  • Honest conversation about what is actually wrong, whether that is a simple lockout, a dying fob, or a worn lock that needs attention.
  • We also handle residential, commercial and automotive key work, so one call can cover a lockout and a follow-up key need.

Car Lockout across Sun Valley

Sun Valley is a working district at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, and its car lockouts reflect that. Along San Fernando Road and the industrial corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport, drivers park in warehouse lots, yards and loading areas, often juggling deliveries, tools and long shifts. Keys get set on a bumper or locked in a work truck more often than anyone likes to admit. We come to those lots, whether you are near the old Pink Motel and Cadillac Jack's Cafe stretch or closer to the LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks that anchor the skyline.

Residential lockouts look different. In Stonehurst, with its 1920s stone and clinker-brick homes and the historic Stonehurst Recreation Center nearby, cars sit on narrow older driveways and curbsides where careful, tidy work counts. Out toward La Tuna Canyon, hillside parking and winding roads mean we want to know exactly where you are before we head over, so share a cross street or landmark when you call.

We serve ZIP code 91352 and the roads people actually use to get around here: San Fernando Road, Glenoaks Boulevard, Sunland Boulevard, Vineland Avenue, I-5 and CA-170. If you are stuck in a parking lot beside one of those routes, call (323) 997-8867 and we will work out the quickest way to reach you. We are mobile only, so there is no shop to find, just a locksmith who comes to your car.
