A car lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Valencia it might happen in the Westfield Valencia Town Center parking structure after a long shopping trip, on a dark stretch of Magic Mountain Parkway after a day at Six Flags, or in your own driveway in Bridgeport while the kids wait in the back seat. Whatever the setting, the goal is the same: get you into the vehicle without scratching the paint, bending the door frame, or damaging the 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 you, whether you are parked at a paseo trailhead, a CalArts lot, a hospital garage at Henry Mayo Newhall, or a business park lot in the Valencia Industrial Center. We are available 24 hours a day, every day.
Car lockouts come in several forms: keys sitting on the seat, keys locked in the trunk, a key fob with a dead battery, a door that locks itself as it closes, or a child or pet inside a closed car. Each calls for a slightly different approach, and a technician who has handled thousands of them knows which tools suit which vehicle. Tell us the make, model, and year when you call and we can plan accordingly.
How it works in Valencia
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where the car is, the make, model, and year, and whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk. If a child or pet is inside, say so right away, because that changes how we prioritize the call.
- 2
We come to your location
Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to you, whether that is a Valencia driveway, a shopping center lot, a parking structure, or the roadside near the I-5. We do not give arrival-time promises we cannot control, but we will keep you informed.
- 3
Verify ownership
Before unlocking, we ask for proof the vehicle is yours, such as a registration or ID matching the car. It is a routine step that protects you and every other driver.
- 4
Damage-free entry
We use professional non-destructive tools chosen for your vehicle: air wedges, long-reach tools, and similar methods that protect paint, glass, door seals, and the electronics inside modern doors.
- 5
Check the lock and door
Once the door is open, we confirm the lock, handle, and window operate normally, and we help you sort out the key, fob battery, or habit that caused the lockout.
- 6
Payment and next steps
We go over the cost with you based on the work performed. If you have lost your only key, we can talk through replacement or duplicate options so you are not locked out again.

What affects the price
- Time of day: late-night, weekend, and holiday calls involve different demands on our schedule than a daytime call.
- Your location within Valencia and the surrounding Santa Clarita area, including how far the technician must travel to reach you.
- Vehicle type: some newer models with advanced door electronics, deadbolt-style locks, or high-security systems take more care than older cars.
- Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, since trunk access can require a different method on some vehicles.
- Parking conditions, such as a tight parking structure space or a busy roadside, which can affect how the work is done.
- Any additional service requested at the same visit, such as a spare key or key fob help.

Car Lockout across Valencia
Valencia is a master-planned community that Newhall Land began developing in 1965, and its layout shapes how lockouts happen here. Villages like Westridge, Northbridge, Tesoro del Valle, Old Orchard, Bridgeport, and Valencia Summit are tied together by the paseo system, with tract homes, townhomes, and condos that often have shared or guest parking. A lockout in a townhome village off McBean Parkway might be on a street space or in a garage court, and we work comfortably in both. In ZIP code 91355 and 91354, we regularly think about gated entries too: if you are locked out inside a gated community like Westridge or Tesoro del Valle, tell us the gate arrangement so we can plan our arrival.
The retail and commuter side of Valencia has its own patterns. Westfield Valencia Town Center, Valencia Boulevard, and Newhall Ranch Road see plenty of short stops where keys get left on a seat or in a cart. Visitors to Six Flags Magic Mountain, off Magic Mountain Parkway, often face a lockout at the end of a long day in a large lot. Students and staff at CalArts, staff at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, and workers in the Valencia Industrial Center may be dealing with a lockout during a shift, when time matters. If you are stranded near the I-5 or on The Old Road, give us the nearest cross street or landmark.
Whatever part of Valencia you are in, one call to (323) 997-8867 reaches a mobile locksmith who will come to you. We do not operate a storefront, so there is nowhere you need to go, only somewhere safe for you to wait while we get your door open.
