A lockout or a broken lock never picks a convenient hour. In Sun Valley it might be a warehouse manager who finds a roll-up door damaged before the morning shift, a driver locked out of a work truck along San Fernando Road, or a homeowner in Stonehurst standing on the porch of a 1920s house after the door pulled shut. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile and available 24/7, so an emergency call is answered by a working locksmith who drives to you with the tools and hardware to deal with the problem on site.

We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the company on a simple idea: in an emergency, people need a clear head, honest information and a lock that works when we leave. We have no storefront, so you never have to travel anywhere. Everything happens at your door, gate, or vehicle.

Sun Valley has an unusual mix of building types. Industrial properties, auto-dismantlers, recycling yards and warehouses sit alongside postwar working-class homes and the historic stone and clinker-brick houses of Stonehurst. Each needs a different approach in an emergency, and we try to match the response to the property instead of treating every call the same.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us what is locked, broken or compromised, whether it is a house, a vehicle, a yard gate or a roll-up door, and whether anyone or anything is at risk inside. That lets us bring the right tools and hardware.

  2. 2

    Confirm location and access

    We confirm the address or the nearest cross street, such as San Fernando Road, Glenoaks Boulevard or Sunland Boulevard, plus any gate or access instructions. We will also ask you to be ready to show that you live at, work at, or are authorized to access the property.

  3. 3

    Verify authorization on arrival

    Before we open or change anything, we check that you are entitled to access the property, using ID, a lease, or business paperwork as appropriate. It protects you and your neighbors, and it is standard for any reputable locksmith.

  4. 4

    Entry with minimal damage

    We use the least destructive method that works, such as bypass or picking on a standard door or vehicle. On older hardware, like original 1920s locks in a Stonehurst home, we take extra care so a lockout does not become a door repair.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or secure the property

    If a lock was forced, a key broke, or staff left with keys, we repair, rekey or replace as needed. For yards and warehouses this can mean hardened padlocks, gate locks, and man-door hardware, with the roll-up door secured too.

  6. 6

    Test and walk-through

    We test every lock with the keys you will actually use and explain what was done and what you may want to address later. If a full upgrade is better done in daylight, we can make the property safe tonight and schedule the rest.

What affects the price

  • Time of day and urgency: a late-night or holiday call involves different scheduling than a daytime one.
  • Type of lock and door: a standard residential deadbolt, a vehicle ignition, a roll-up door lock and a hardened yard gate lock all involve different work and parts.
  • Whether the lock can be opened without damage or has to be drilled, repaired or replaced after a break-in.
  • Hardware grade: heavy-duty hardened padlocks and commercial-grade cylinders cost differently than basic residential hardware.
  • Number of locks involved, such as rekeying a warehouse man-door and roll-up door together versus a single entry.
  • Special situations such as original period hardware, high-security keys, or vehicles needing key programming.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7. There is no storefront to visit, and no one is sent to a counter.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar personally leading the work and standards.
  • Comfortable with both worlds in Sun Valley: industrial yard and warehouse security, and sensitive work on older residential hardware.
  • Authorization checks before entry, so we only open property for the person entitled to it.
  • We explain options and what drives the price before work begins, with no pressure to upgrade during an emergency.
  • Fleet and vehicle key knowledge, useful for businesses along San Fernando Road that depend on work trucks.

Emergency Locksmith across Sun Valley

Sun Valley sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, with the LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks visible across much of the district and Hollywood Burbank Airport on its edge. San Fernando Road is the working spine of the area, lined with warehouses, manufacturing, auto-dismantlers and recycling yards. After a break-in or theft, those properties often need heavy-duty hardened padlocks and gate locks quickly, and a warehouse near the airport corridor may need its roll-up door and man-door rekeyed after staff turnover. We handle that kind of emergency work in the San Fernando Road industrial corridor, and around Glenoaks Boulevard, Sunland Boulevard and Vineland Avenue.

Residential calls are just as varied. Stonehurst, centered near the historic Stonehurst Recreation Center, has 1920s stone and clinker-brick homes, many with original hardware. When someone is locked out there, the goal is to get in carefully and, if wanted, follow up with a sympathetic deadbolt upgrade and rekey that improves security without spoiling the character of the door. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, modest postwar homes have more standard hardware, and we work on those as well.

We serve ZIP code 91352 and nearby areas including the La Tuna Canyon side of town. With I-5 and CA-170 close by, we can reach most of Sun Valley by road, though travel conditions vary. For any emergency, call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where you are.

Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. We do not promise specific arrival times, but we will tell you what to expect when you call.
Can you help after a break-in at my yard or warehouse?
Yes. We repair or replace damaged locks, install hardened padlocks and gate locks, and secure man-doors and roll-up doors. Call (323) 997-8867, and if the property is not safe, contact the police first.
Do you rekey a warehouse after staff turnover?
Yes. We can rekey the man-door and roll-up door so former employees' keys no longer work. This is common for businesses near the Hollywood Burbank Airport industrial corridor, and we can often combine it with a master key plan.
I am locked out of my historic Stonehurst home. Will you damage the door?
We aim to avoid damage by using careful bypass or picking methods first. With original 1920s hardware we take extra care, and we can later discuss a deadbolt upgrade and rekey that fits the house.
Can you help if I am locked out of my vehicle?
Yes, we help with vehicle lockouts and key problems as part of our emergency service. Call (323) 997-8867 with the make, model and your location so we can prepare.
How much does an emergency locksmith visit cost?
It depends on the time of day, the lock type, whether it can be opened without damage, and any hardware needed. We explain what drives the price before starting work so you can decide.
Do I need to prove I own the property?
We ask for reasonable proof that you live there, work there or are authorized, such as ID, a lease or business paperwork. It protects property owners and is standard practice.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile only and come to your home, vehicle, yard or business in Sun Valley and across Greater Los Angeles.
