A lockout never picks a convenient time. In Westlake Village it might happen late after dinner near The Promenade, early before a commute onto the US-101, or on a weekend when a smart lock battery dies and the keypad goes dark. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our emergency line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year.

We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to, which matters when you are standing outside without keys. Our technician comes to your driveway, your condo garage, your office park suite, or your lakefront gate, carrying the tools to work on the lock in front of you rather than sending you somewhere else.

Emergency work in Westlake Village is rarely one-size-fits-all. The city's master-planned 1970s and 80s neighborhoods, gated estates, newer custom homes, HOA townhomes, and corporate offices all use different hardware. Many homes have smart locks, gate systems, and intercoms layered on top of traditional deadbolts. Owner and lead technician David Shar built the company on handling that kind of variety carefully, and on using non-destructive methods first whenever the lock allows it.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what happened: a lockout, a key snapped in the cylinder, a lock that will not turn, or a smart lock that stopped responding. Give us the address or nearest cross street, such as Lindero Canyon Road or Westlake Blvd, and the type of door, gate, or vehicle.

  2. 2

    Dispatch to your location

    Because we are mobile and available 24/7, we send a technician directly to you. We do not make arrival-time promises we cannot control, but we will keep you updated on the way, especially if traffic on US-101 or a gated entry affects the route.

  3. 3

    Verify who you are

    Before opening anything, the technician asks for reasonable proof that you live at the property, own the vehicle, or are authorized to access the space. For HOA and commercial sites, we may ask for management authorization. This protects you and your neighbors.

  4. 4

    Gain entry with the least damage

    We start with non-destructive methods such as picking, bypass, or manipulating the mechanism. Multipoint locks, high-security cylinders, and smart deadbolts each call for different approaches. Drilling or cutting is a last resort, and we explain why before we do it.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey, or replace

    Once you are in, we assess the lock. A worn cylinder might need replacing, a lost key might call for rekeying, and a corroded or battery-dead smart lock might need service. We explain the options and let you decide what makes sense.

  6. 6

    Test and secure before we leave

    We test every key, thumbturn, latch, and keypad we touched, confirm the door closes and locks properly, and make sure you leave the property secure that night, not just open.

What affects the price

  • Type of lock involved: a standard deadbolt, a multipoint lock, a high-security cylinder, or a smart lock each take different tools and time.
  • Whether the job is entry only or includes repair, rekeying, or replacement hardware afterward.
  • Time of day and urgency, since we work nights, weekends, and holidays as part of 24/7 service.
  • Location and access, including gated communities, lakefront properties, and multi-building office parks that affect how we reach the lock.
  • Condition of the hardware, such as corrosion from lake air or worn parts that complicate non-destructive entry.
  • Scope of the job: a single door versus several doors, gates, mailbox locks, or an entire site needing attention.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7 dispatch means help comes to you instead of requiring a trip to a shop that does not exist.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar overseeing the standards we work to.
  • Comfortable with the mix of hardware found in Westlake Village: multipoint locks, smart locks, gates, HOA common locks, and commercial storefronts.
  • Non-destructive entry first, so your door, frame, and finish are preserved whenever the lock allows it.
  • We explain the problem and your options in plain language, and we do not push replacement when a repair or rekey will do.
  • One call covers homes, vehicles, and businesses, so you do not have to hunt for a different specialist in the middle of the night.

Emergency Locksmith across Westlake Village

Westlake Village sits at the Los Angeles County and Ventura County line, and its ZIP codes, including 91361, 91362, and 91359, are shared with Thousand Oaks. That overlap can confuse addresses, so when you call we confirm the exact location and the nearest major road, whether that is Westlake Blvd (SR-23), Lindero Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks Blvd, or Agoura Road.

The housing here shapes the emergency calls we see. On Westlake Island, lakefront homes often have private gates, docks, and multipoint front door locks, along with smart locks. Moisture and lake air can corrode hardware, and a dead battery can turn a minor issue into a lockout in 91361. In the First Neighborhood and Three Springs, the master-planned 1970s and 80s homes sit alongside gated estates and newer custom builds, so we may find anything from original deadbolts to modern keypads.

Near The Promenade and The Shoppes at Westlake Village, townhomes and condos often have HOA-managed common locks and mailbox locks that need quick rekeying. Corporate office parks and aluminum-storefront retail around the business district call for after-hours help too, such as a stuck storefront lock or a master rekey after a tenant leaves. Whether you are near Westlake Lake or the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, one call to (323) 997-8867 reaches us.

Emergency Locksmith in Westlake Village — FAQs

Do you really work 24/7 in Westlake Village?
Yes. Our emergency line is open every hour of every day, including holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will dispatch a mobile technician to your location in Westlake Village.
Is there a shop I can come to?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. Our technician comes to your home, vehicle, or business with the tools needed for the job.
Can you tell me exactly how many minutes until you arrive?
We do not promise specific arrival times, because traffic on US-101 and access to gated properties can vary. We do dispatch right away and keep you informed on the way.
Can you help if my smart lock died or stopped responding?
Often, yes. Dead batteries, electronic faults, and corrosion are common causes. We can usually get you inside and then service or replace the lock as needed. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe what the lock is doing.
I live on Westlake Island and my gate and front door both have problems. Can you handle that in one visit?
We can work on gates, multipoint front door locks, and smart locks in the same visit, depending on the hardware. Lake-air corrosion can affect several parts at once, so we inspect each component and explain what needs repair or replacement.
Will you damage my door to get in?
We use non-destructive methods first. If the lock is damaged or high-security hardware makes that impractical, we explain the situation and options before doing anything that could affect the door.
Can you rekey locks for an HOA or office after a turnover?
Yes. We rekey common-area locks, mailbox locks, and office doors, and can update master key systems. We may need authorization from the HOA or property manager. Call (323) 997-8867 to set up the work.
How is the cost of an emergency call determined?
It depends on the lock type, the work needed beyond entry, the time of day, access to the property, and the condition of the hardware. We discuss these factors with you before starting.
