A car lockout never happens at a convenient moment. In Temple City it tends to happen in the middle of an ordinary errand: you step out in the lot near Las Tunas Drive, set your keys on the seat while you grab a bag, and the door clicks shut. Or you are loading up at Temple City Park, and a key fob ends up in the trunk. Either way, you need the car opened carefully, and you want it done without scratched paint, bent door frames, or torn weatherstripping.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, which means there is no shop to travel to. We come to your car, whether it sits in a driveway on a quiet residential street, in a curbside space along Las Tunas Drive, or at an apartment parking area. We are available 24/7, so a late-night lockout after a dinner out is handled the same way as a midday one.

This page explains what happens when you call, what affects the cost of a lockout, and some things specific to Temple City. If you are standing next to your car right now, skip ahead and call (323) 997-8867. We will ask a few questions about the vehicle and where you are, then get started.

How it works in Temple City

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where the car is, its make, model, and approximate year, and whether the keys are inside the cabin or the trunk. Mention if a child or pet is inside, or if the car is in direct sun, because that changes how urgently we treat the call.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are and that the car is yours

    Before we open a vehicle, we ask you to show that it belongs to you or that you are authorized to be in it. A registration, an insurance card, or a matching ID is typically what we look for. This protects you and every other driver we help.

  3. 3

    Choose the right non-destructive method

    Different vehicles call for different approaches. Some are opened with a protective wedge and a long-reach tool, others through specialized entry tools designed for specific door designs. We pick the technique that suits your vehicle so the paint, glass, seals, and electronics are left alone.

  4. 4

    Open the door and check for damage together

    Once the door is open, we make sure the lock, the window, and the weatherstripping all operate normally. We then walk around the car with you so you can see that everything is as it was.

  5. 5

    Trunk and spare key follow-up

    If your keys were locked in the trunk, we work through the cabin or the release mechanism as the vehicle allows. If this lockout made you realize you have no spare, we can talk through your options for a replacement key afterward.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: a lockout in the middle of the night or on a holiday involves different logistics than one during the day.
  • Vehicle type: some newer vehicles have more complex door and security designs that take more care to open without damage.
  • Where the car is: a vehicle in an open driveway is simpler to reach than one tucked in a tight garage or a crowded parking structure.
  • Keys in the cabin versus the trunk: trunk lockouts can take additional steps depending on the vehicle's design.
  • Whether you also need a key made or programmed: opening the door is one job, and a replacement or spare key is a separate one.
  • Travel distance to your location within our service area, since we are fully mobile and come to you.

  • We explain what affects the price and describe the work before we start, rather than surprising you afterward.
  • David Shar, the owner, leads the work, so the experience behind the company is the same one you get on the call.

Car Lockout across Temple City

Temple City is a quiet, residential valley-floor city, and that shapes how lockouts happen here. In neighborhoods like Mission View Acres and the Camellia area, most cars are parked in driveways or at the curb in front of 1950s and 1960s single-story ranch and stucco homes. A lockout in these spots usually means a key left on the seat while carrying groceries, or a fob dropped into a bag and shut in the trunk. We come to the driveway or curb and handle it there, within the 91780 ZIP code and beyond.

Downtown Las Tunas Drive is a different picture. It is a walkable small-business corridor of restaurants and shops, and drivers there often park for a short stop and step away in a hurry. Lockouts also come up around Temple City Park and Live Oak Park, where families unload strollers, sports gear, and picnic supplies, and a key fob can get left inside. During the annual Camellia Festival, when the city fills with visitors and parking is tight, we can work with you on where the car is to open it safely.

If you are on a main road such as Rosemead Blvd (SR-19), Baldwin Ave, Lower Azusa Rd, or Temple City Blvd, tell us the nearest cross street and a landmark, and we will find you. We also see growing demand from residents of new townhomes and small apartment buildings, where guests and tenants sometimes need help with a locked car in shared parking. Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour and we will come to you.

Car Lockout in Temple City — FAQs

Do you serve all of Temple City, including ZIP code 91780?
Yes. We are a fully mobile locksmith and we serve Temple City, including everything in the 91780 ZIP code. Call (323) 997-8867 and give us your location or the nearest cross street.
Will opening my car damage the paint or door?

Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. A late-night lockout after dinner on Las Tunas Drive is handled the same way as a daytime one. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Can you help if my keys are locked in the trunk?
Often yes. The approach depends on the vehicle, and we will talk it through on the phone. We will tell you what we can do once we know the make, model, and year.
What do I need to show before you open the car?
We ask for proof the vehicle is yours or that you are authorized to be in it, such as registration, insurance, or a matching ID. This is a standard protection for everyone.
How is the price of a car lockout determined?
It depends on factors such as the time of day, the type of vehicle, where it is parked, whether the keys are in the cabin or trunk, and how far we travel. We will explain this when you call.
I am locked out and my child or pet is inside. What should I do?
Call (323) 997-8867 right away and tell us. If anyone is in distress, especially in warm weather, also call 911 so emergency responders can help immediately.
Can you make a spare key after a lockout?
Opening the car and making a new key are separate jobs. After you are back in the car, ask us about spare or replacement key options so a lockout does not repeat.
