A car that will not open or start is never convenient, and in View Park-Windsor Hills it tends to happen in specific places: a steep curb on Angeles Vista Boulevard, a parking spot along Slauson Avenue, a driveway off Overhill Drive, or a lot after an evening near Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so we bring the tools and key-cutting equipment to wherever the vehicle is sitting. There is no shop to tow your car to and no storefront to visit.

We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. Our automotive service covers cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleet vehicles. That includes non-destructive lockouts, lost-key replacement, transponder and smart-key programming, broken key extraction, and ignition or door lock repair.

We are available around the clock, which matters for a neighborhood where many residents commute along Crenshaw Boulevard and La Brea Avenue at odd hours. When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask about the make, model, year and exactly where you are parked, so we can arrive prepared with the right equipment for your vehicle.

How it works in View Park-Windsor Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and year, what has happened (locked out, lost key, key broken, car will not start), and where you are parked. Hillside streets and tight driveways are worth mentioning so we know what to expect.

  2. 2

    Confirm the vehicle is yours

    Before we open or make a key for any vehicle, we ask for proof of ownership or authorization, such as registration and a matching ID. This protects you and is a standard practice for any reputable locksmith.

  3. 3

    Choose the least invasive method

    For lockouts we use professional entry tools designed to avoid damage to paint, weatherstripping, and door electronics. The right method depends on the vehicle, and we will explain it before we begin.

  4. 4

    Cut or program the key on site

    If keys are lost, we can cut a key from the vehicle's information and program a transponder or fob where needed, right at your curb or driveway. Some vehicles have more complex security systems, and we will tell you plainly what yours requires.

  5. 5

    Test everything before we leave

    We test the key in the door, trunk and ignition, check that the remote functions work, and make sure the vehicle starts. You will leave with working keys, not a partial fix.

What affects the price

  • The type of service: a simple lockout is a different job from cutting and programming a new transponder key from scratch.
  • Vehicle make, model and year, since newer or European vehicles often have more advanced immobilizer and smart-key systems.
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the steps involved.
  • The time of day and the location of the vehicle, as we offer 24/7 service across a wide area.
  • Whether parts are needed, such as a replacement fob, ignition cylinder or door lock hardware.
  • The number of keys or vehicles involved, which matters for families and fleet accounts.

Why View Park-Windsor Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your vehicle, so you do not need to arrange a tow to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work rather than handing it off to an unknown subcontractor.
  • Available 24 hours a day, every day, for nighttime and weekend lockouts.
  • Non-destructive entry is our first approach, so your paint, seals and door wiring are protected.
  • We cover cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, so one call handles household and work vehicles.
  • Honest explanations: if a dealer is the better option for your vehicle's key system, we will say so.

Automotive Locksmith across View Park-Windsor Hills

View Park-Windsor Hills sits in the hills above the Crenshaw corridor, and its geography shapes automotive calls. Homes along Angeles Vista Boulevard often have steep driveways and limited street parking, so we plan for tight access and careful positioning when we come to you. Many View Park residents park on the street in front of Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor homes, and we work quietly and tidily out of respect for the neighbors.

Windsor Hills, with its 1940s and 1950s mid-century homes, is full of garages and carports where a lost key or a dead fob can turn into a morning problem. Whether you are in ZIP code 90043 near Slauson Avenue and La Brea Avenue, in 90008 closer to Overhill Drive, or in 90056 toward the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, we come to the vehicle.

The View Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016, includes about 1,752 homes, and many residents who care for those houses also care for their cars. If your home has original mortise locks, we can also advise on those separately. For anything on four wheels or two, call (323) 997-8867.
