Getting locked out of your home is stressful at any hour, but in View Park-Windsor Hills the details of the house matter. Many homes here were built in the 1920s through the 1940s, with Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor and other period-revival styles that often still carry their original mortise locks and ornate hardware. Those locks are part of the character of the neighborhood, and they deserve a more careful hand than a quick drill-and-replace job.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work as owner and lead technician. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we come to your door, whether that is a hillside home with a view, a mid-century house in Windsor Hills, or an apartment or condo near Slauson Avenue or La Brea Avenue.

Our approach to a house lockout is simple: get you back inside with as little impact on your door, frame and lock as possible. We are available around the clock, day or night, weekends and holidays included. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door and lock you have, and we will take it from there.

How it works in View Park-Windsor Hills

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where you are, what kind of home it is, and what the door and lock look like. A historic mortise lock, a modern deadbolt and a smart lock each call for a different approach, so a few details up front help.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    Because we are fully mobile, we travel to your View Park, Windsor Hills or nearby address. We do not give arrival-time promises over the phone, but we are available 24/7 and we will keep you informed.

  3. 3

    We confirm you belong there

    Before opening any door, we ask for reasonable proof that you live at or are authorized to enter the property. This protects you and your neighbors and is standard practice for a responsible locksmith.

  4. 4

    We assess the lock and door

    We look at the lock type, the condition of the door and the frame. On older homes with original hardware, we pay special attention to keeping period locks, strike plates and door finishes intact.

  5. 5

    Non-destructive entry

    We use professional entry methods designed to open the door without drilling or breaking the lock whenever the situation allows. Our goal is for the door to work the same after we leave as it did before.

  6. 6

    Follow-up options

    Once you are inside, we can discuss whether anything should be done, such as rekeying after lost keys, servicing an aging mortise lock, or upgrading a deadbolt. There is no obligation to do anything beyond getting you in.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock on the door, since a standard deadbolt, an antique mortise lock and a smart lock each take different skill and time.
  • The time of day and day of the week, because we operate 24/7 and late-night or holiday calls can be priced differently than daytime ones.
  • Your location and how far our mobile technician needs to travel to reach your address.
  • The condition of the door, frame and hardware, including whether older or worn components make careful entry more involved.
  • Whether you need additional work after entry, such as rekeying, key replacement, repairs or a hardware upgrade.
  • The number of locks or doors involved, for example a secondary deadbolt or a security gate in addition to the main entry.

Why View Park-Windsor Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your door, with no storefront and no need for you to go anywhere while locked out.
  • Experience since 1987, including familiarity with older hardware like the mortise locks found in many 1920s to 1940s homes.
  • A preservation-minded approach for historic homes, favoring careful servicing or rekeying over replacing original hardware.
  • Non-destructive entry is our first goal on every house lockout, so your door and lock stay intact whenever possible.
  • Available 24/7, so an evening lockout on a hillside street or an early-morning one before work gets the same attention.
  • Owner-led operation under David Shar, which means accountability and a technician who cares about the neighborhood's homes.

House Lockout across View Park-Windsor Hills

View Park-Windsor Hills sits in the hills above Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue, and its character comes from its homes. The View Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 12, 2016, includes about 1,752 homes, many with Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor details and original 1930s doors and hardware. The area has long been known as the 'Black Beverly Hills,' and many owners take real pride in keeping these houses true to their original design. When we handle a lockout in View Park, we treat that hardware with respect and aim to preserve it.

Hillside streets such as Angeles Vista Boulevard and Overhill Drive come with their own challenges: winding roads, limited parking and homes set above the street. A lockout at a hillside house with a view still needs non-destructive entry, and we plan our approach to the door in front of us. Windsor Hills adds 1940s to 1950s and mid-century homes, where we often see standard deadbolts that can be good candidates for an upgrade after a lockout.

We serve addresses across ZIP codes 90043, 90008 and 90056, from homes near La Brea Avenue to streets close to the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook and Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. Wherever you are in the neighborhood, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

House Lockout in View Park-Windsor Hills — FAQs

Can you open my View Park home without damaging the door?
Non-destructive entry is our first goal on every house lockout. Depending on the lock and door condition, we use professional methods that avoid drilling or breaking hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe your lock so we can plan the right approach.
My house has an original mortise lock. Will you replace it?
Not unless you want that. Many homes in the View Park Historic District still have original mortise locks and period hardware, and we prefer to preserve them. After entry, we can discuss careful servicing or rekeying instead of replacement.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will come to your location.
Do I need to prove I live at the house?
Yes, we ask for reasonable proof that you live at or are authorized to enter the property before we open a door. This protects you, your home and your neighbors.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We travel to your address in View Park, Windsor Hills and surrounding areas, so you can stay put while you wait.
Can you help with a lockout at a hillside home on Angeles Vista Boulevard?
Yes. We handle lockouts at hillside homes and plan around the door and lock in front of us. Give us the address and a description of the entry when you call (323) 997-8867.
How much will a house lockout cost?
The price depends on factors such as lock type, time of day, your location and the condition of the door. We do not quote numbers on this page, but we can talk through what applies to your situation when you call.
Should I upgrade my lock after a lockout?
Only if it makes sense for you. In Windsor Hills mid-century homes, a newer deadbolt or smart lock can improve security, while in historic homes we often suggest rekeying or servicing the original lock. We can talk through options once you are safely inside.
