A car problem rarely picks a convenient place. In Westlake Village it might be the parking structure near The Promenade, a driveway on Westlake Island, a hotel lot at the Four Seasons, or the shoulder of Lindero Canyon Road. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so the shop comes to wherever the vehicle is stranded. We have no storefront to visit, and you never have to tow a car just to get a key made.

Our automotive work covers the everyday emergencies and the more technical jobs: unlocking a car with the keys inside, replacing a lost or broken key, programming a transponder key or smart fob, repairing a worn or damaged ignition, and extracting a key that snapped off in a lock or door. We also work on trucks, motorcycles, RVs and business fleets. Crenshaw Lock has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work.

Westlake Village sits right at the Ventura County line, and many residents commute along US-101, so a lockout often happens far from home or away from a spare key. We are available around the clock and will talk you through what we can do for your particular vehicle when you call (323) 997-8867. We don't promise arrival times we can't back up, but we will be straightforward about what is involved before work begins.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model and year, where you are, and what happened: keys locked inside, a lost key, a broken fob, or a stuck ignition. Those details let us bring the right tools and key blanks.

  2. 2

    Confirm who you are and who owns the vehicle

    Before opening a car or making a key, we ask for identification and proof that the vehicle is yours or that you are authorized to work on it. It protects owners, and it is a standard part of responsible automotive locksmith work.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and the key system

    On arrival we look at what the vehicle uses: a traditional cut key, a transponder, a laser-cut key, or a push-button smart system. That tells us whether the job is an unlock, a key cut, a programming task, or an ignition repair.

  4. 4

    Unlock, cut or program with care

    We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to avoid damaging paint, weatherstripping or door electronics. For new keys, we cut and program them on-site so the vehicle recognizes them.

  5. 5

    Test everything before we finish

    We try the new key in the door, trunk and ignition, check that remote functions work, and confirm the vehicle starts. If an old key is lost, we discuss removing it from the vehicle's memory where the system allows.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model and year, since European and late-model smart-key systems generally take more equipment and programming than older mechanical keys.
  • The type of key involved: a basic cut key, a transponder key, a laser-cut key or a proximity fob each carry different parts and procedures.
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, because originating a key from scratch is more involved than duplicating one.
  • The job itself: a simple lockout differs from ignition repair, broken-key extraction or reprogramming a vehicle's security module.
  • Time of day and location, since late-night, weekend and holiday calls to a remote spot can affect the total.
  • Number of vehicles, as fleet work with multiple keys or vehicles at one site is scoped differently from a single car.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we work in your driveway, office lot or roadside, so there is no tow to a shop and no storefront trip.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar involved in the work.
  • Available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, which matters when a lockout strands you late.
  • Broad vehicle coverage: cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and fleets, handled by the same team.
  • Non-destructive methods first, to protect door seals, paint and electronics when opening a vehicle.
  • Clear explanation of what the job involves before work starts, with no invented promises about timing.

Automotive Locksmith across Westlake Village

Westlake Village blends lakeside living with a busy business corridor, and car trouble shows up in both. On Westlake Island, residents park in garages and gated driveways near the water, and lake air and daily use can wear on keys and fobs over time. In the First Neighborhood and Three Springs, many households run several vehicles, and a lost fob or a teenager's locked-in keys is a common call. We serve all of these areas, including addresses in ZIP codes 91361, 91362 and 91359.

The city's layout means drivers move constantly along US-101, Westlake Blvd (SR-23), Lindero Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks Blvd and Agoura Road. A key can go missing at The Shoppes at Westlake Village, in a hotel lot at the Four Seasons, or at a trailhead nearby, and we come to the vehicle wherever it sits. Corporate office parks in the business district also have company vehicles and small fleets that need spare keys or lockout help during the workday.

Because these ZIP codes are shared with Thousand Oaks and the city sits at the Ventura County line, we also help drivers whose trip crosses the boundary. Whether you are parked on a lakefront street or in an office lot off the freeway, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
