A lockout never picks a good moment. In West Covina it might happen when you step out to the car in a South Hills driveway after dark, when a key snaps in a front door in a 1950s tract home, or when a shop owner at the Eastland Center finds a cylinder jammed before opening. Emergency work is what we were built around, and we are available around the clock.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, under owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile: the shop comes to you in a service vehicle, so the work happens at your door, not at a counter. That matters in a spread-out city split by the I-10 and SR-60, where people could be anywhere from Azusa Ave to Francisquito Ave when something goes wrong.

Emergency does not mean destructive. Our first goal is to get you in without damaging the lock, door, or frame whenever that is realistic. When a lock is truly failed, worn, or compromised, we can repair or replace it on the spot so the property is secure before we leave.

How it works in West Covina

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us what is locked, where you are, and what type of lock you have if you know it. A few details help us bring the right tools and hardware the first time.

  2. 2

    Mobile dispatch to your location

    We head to you in West Covina, whether that is a house near Cortez Park, an apartment complex off Amar Rd, or a storefront near Plaza West Covina. We make no promises about arrival timing over the phone beyond being available 24/7.

  3. 3

    Verify who you are

    Before opening a home, vehicle, or business, we ask for reasonable proof that you live there, own the car, or are authorized to access the space. It protects you and your neighbors.

  4. 4

    Non-destructive entry first

    We use picking, bypass, and specialty tools to open the door without damage where possible. If a lock is damaged or high-security, we explain options before we do anything drastic.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey, or replace as needed

    If a key broke off, a deadbolt is failing, or keys were lost or stolen, we can extract, repair, rekey, or replace hardware right there so you are not left with an insecure door overnight.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We test the lock with the working keys, confirm the door latches and locks smoothly, and talk through any follow-up, such as upgrading a weak deadbolt, once the emergency is over.

What affects the price

  • Type of lock: a basic tract-home knob is a different job than a high-security or smart deadbolt on a South Hills view home.
  • Property type: residential, automotive, and commercial work each require different tools, time, and expertise.
  • Whether entry is simple or complex: a standard lockout differs from a damaged lock, a broken key deep in the cylinder, or a reinforced door.
  • Hardware needed: rekeying existing locks costs differently from replacing a deadbolt or installing new cylinders and keys.
  • Time of day: late-night, weekend, and holiday calls can be priced differently from daytime service.
  • Distance and access: how far we travel and any gate, parking, or building-access complications at the location.

Why West Covina chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7: we are not a storefront, so every call is a dispatch to you rather than a shop you have to reach.
  • Operating since 1987 under owner David Shar, so the experience behind the work is decades deep, not newly minted.
  • Non-destructive approach first: we try to open locks without drilling or damaging doors when it is practical.
  • Residential and commercial range: from 1950s tract homes and garden apartments to retail cylinders and medical-district offices.
  • Identity checks on every entry: we verify authorization, which keeps legitimate customers safe.
  • We explain options before work begins, and we stick to describing factors rather than pushing unnecessary upgrades.

Emergency Locksmith across West Covina

West Covina is a big, mostly suburban city, and its housing varies a lot. Much of it is post-war single-family tract built in the 1950s and 60s, where aging knobs, worn deadbolts, and decades-old keys are common causes of emergency calls. Up in the South Hills, between the I-10 and SR-60, hillside and view homes, some in gated areas, often carry higher-end hardware that calls for careful, non-destructive handling. Neighborhoods such as Woodside Village have their own mix of homes and complexes, and we service them all.

Commercial emergencies cluster around the Eastland / Plaza commercial district. A retail lockout or failed cylinder at Plaza West Covina or the Eastland Center needs fast, discreet service so a business can get back to normal. Around Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital, medical offices and nearby businesses have their own access needs. Apartment complexes off Azusa Ave and Amar Rd also generate turnover rekeys and lockouts that we handle regularly.

We serve West Covina ZIP codes 91790, 91791, 91792, and 91793, and the roads in between, including Vincent Ave, Glendora Ave, Sunset Ave, and Francisquito Ave. Whether you are near Galster Wilderness Park or stuck in a parking lot off the freeway, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
