A car lockout never picks a convenient moment. In Westlake Village it might happen in the parking structure by The Promenade, on the shoulder near the US-101 on-ramp at Lindero Canyon Road, at a trailhead, or in your own driveway on Westlake Island with groceries melting in the back seat. Keys on the seat, keys in the trunk, a dead key fob battery, or a door that locked itself: all of them leave you standing outside a car you can't get into.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We do not have a storefront for you to visit; the locksmith comes to your vehicle with the tools needed to open it. Owner and lead tech David Shar has run the business since 1987, and that experience matters on lockouts, where the goal is simple: get you in without scratching paint, bending a door frame, tearing weatherstripping, or setting off a problem with your car's electronics.

We answer the phone 24/7 at (323) 997-8867. When you call, we will ask where you are, the make, model and approximate year of the vehicle, and whether the keys are inside the cabin or the trunk. Those details help us bring the right tools and give you honest guidance on what to expect before work begins.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Call and tell us where you are

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and give us your location, such as a street, a parking level, or a gated community entrance. Tell us the vehicle make, model and year, and whether children, pets or medical needs are involved. Safety situations get handled with priority.

  2. 2

    Confirm you own or may access the vehicle

    Before opening any car, we ask for reasonable proof that the vehicle is yours or that you are authorized to get into it, usually a photo ID matching the registration or insurance paperwork. This protects you and every other driver in Westlake Village.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and the vehicle

    Our locksmith looks at the door, window seals, and the type of entry system. Older vehicles, newer cars with electronic fobs, and trunk-only lockouts each call for different approaches. We explain the plan before we begin.

  4. 4

    Unlock with damage-free methods

    We use professional tools designed to open the door without harming paint, glass, weatherstripping, or the airbag and wiring inside the door panel. We do not force a door or smash a window as a first resort.

  5. 5

    Test and confirm everything works

    Once the door is open, we check that the lock, handle and window operate normally. You can retrieve your keys, and we can answer questions about spare keys or fob batteries so this doesn't happen again.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: a late-night or holiday call is different from a weekday daytime call, and we explain this on the phone rather than after the work.
  • Vehicle type and security system: some newer vehicles with electronic entry features take more care than a basic mechanical lock.
  • Location and access: a car on a public street differs from one in a gated community, a guarded lot, or a remote stretch near the canyons.
  • Keys in the trunk versus the cabin: trunk lockouts can require a different approach depending on the vehicle's design.
  • Whether a key replacement or fob service is also needed: if a lost key is the real problem, that is separate work from simply unlocking the door.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at midnight near Westlake Blvd is handled the same as one at noon.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician.
  • Damage-free methods are the standard, not a premium option. Your paint, seals and door electronics matter to us.
  • Experience beyond cars: we also handle residential, commercial and smart lock work, so we understand how gated Westlake Village properties and their access systems operate.
  • Straightforward communication: we describe what affects the cost before we start, and we verify ownership before opening any vehicle.
  • No storefront detours: you never need to travel to us, which matters when you are stranded without your keys.

Car Lockout across Westlake Village

Westlake Village sits at the Los Angeles and Ventura County line, and its ZIP codes, including 91361, 91362 and 91359, are shared with Thousand Oaks. That means a call from one of these ZIPs can come from a shopping center, a hotel lot, a corporate office park, or a quiet residential street. We are used to the layout: US-101 running through the middle, Lindero Canyon Road and Westlake Blvd (SR-23) as the main connectors, and Thousand Oaks Blvd and Agoura Rd carrying local traffic.

In the First Neighborhood, driveways and curbside parking are common, and lockouts tend to happen at home when a door shuts behind you with the keys inside. On Westlake Island, access may involve a gate or intercom, so it helps to have your gate code or a resident contact ready when you call. Three Springs has its own mix of homes and routes, and we ask for the nearest cross street so we can find you easily.

Busy places like The Shoppes at Westlake Village, the area around Westlake Lake, and the lots near the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village are where visitors and residents often get locked out during errands, dinners or events. If you are in a parking structure, tell us the level and the nearest landmark. Whatever the spot, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

No. We are fully mobile only, with no storefront. A locksmith travels to wherever your vehicle is in Westlake Village.
