Getting locked out of your car is rarely convenient, and in Walnut it tends to happen in the most ordinary places: a school or campus lot, a trailhead near the hills, a driveway at the end of a long day. The keys are on the seat, the fob is in the trunk, or a door shut with everything still inside. Whatever the cause, the goal is the same: get you back into your vehicle without scratched paint, bent door frames, or a damaged weather seal.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has spent decades around vehicle locks of every era. We are fully mobile. There is no shop to tow your car to and no storefront to visit. We come to your vehicle, whether that is a driveway in Walnut Heights, a visitor space inside a gated community, or a lot off Grand Ave.

We are available 24 hours a day, every day. We won't promise an arrival time we can't verify, but we will be straightforward about what we can do once we're talking with you. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us where you are and what vehicle you drive, and we'll explain the next steps plainly before any work begins.

How it works in Walnut

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your location, the make, model, and approximate year of the vehicle, and whether the keys are inside the cabin or the trunk. Mention if a child or pet is inside, or if you're in a hot or unsafe spot, so we can treat it with the right urgency.

  2. 2

    We confirm who you are and that the car is yours

    Before we open a vehicle, we ask for reasonable proof that you're the owner or authorized driver, such as ID matching the registration or insurance paperwork. It protects you as much as it protects us, and it's standard practice for a responsible locksmith.

  3. 3

    We assess the lock and door design

    Newer vehicles with side airbags, tight weather stripping, and electronic door systems need a different approach than older cars with simple linkage. We look at your specific vehicle and choose the least invasive method for it.

  4. 4

    We unlock using non-damaging techniques

    We use professional tools designed to open the vehicle without forcing the door or marring the paint. Our aim is for the car to look exactly as it did before you got locked out, with no new scratches or bent trim.

  5. 5

    You check the vehicle and we wrap up

    Once the door is open, you can confirm everything is in order and retrieve your keys. We discuss the cost based on what was involved, and if you've lost your keys entirely, we can talk through your options for replacements.

What affects the price

  • Time of day and day of the week, since we answer at all hours including nights, weekends, and holidays
  • Your location within Walnut and the surrounding area, which affects how far our mobile unit travels to reach you
  • Vehicle make, model, and year, because some door and lock systems take more care and time to open safely
  • Whether the keys are in the cabin or the trunk, as trunk access can be more involved on certain vehicles
  • Whether you simply need the door opened or also need a spare or replacement key afterward
  • Site conditions, such as a hillside pull-off, a gated lot, or a tight garage that affects how we work around the car

Car Lockout across Walnut

Walnut sits between the San Jose Hills and the Puente Hills, and its car lockouts reflect that mix of suburban and semi-rural life. In Snow Creek, the gated community, a lockout can mean a car parked in a driveway behind the gate, and we can coordinate with you on access so we reach the vehicle. In Walnut Heights, with its hillside streets and larger lots, a driveway or roadside spot may take a little care to work around, and we plan for that.

The Mt. San Antonio College area brings its own pattern. Students and staff park in busy lots off Grand Ave and Temple Ave corridors, and keys left in a car between classes are a familiar story. Commuters moving along Valley Blvd, Lemon Ave, Nogales St, and Pierre Rd, or heading to SR-60 and SR-57, run into the same thing at gas stations, shopping centers, and park lots. If you're at Suzanne Park or Creekside Park with the keys locked inside, we come to you there.

We serve Walnut ZIP codes 91789 and 91788, including the newer custom homes and older tract neighborhoods alike. Many local properties have gated drives, so tell us when you call if there is a gate code or guard to coordinate. For a car lockout anywhere in Walnut, call (323) 997-8867.
