A house lockout always seems to happen at the worst moment: you step out to grab a package, the door swings shut behind you, and the keys are on the kitchen counter. In Westlake Village the situation can be more involved than a simple knob lock. Many homes here combine a front multipoint or deadbolt lock, a smart lock, and a gate or intercom system, and any of them can be the thing that stops you from getting in.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around one idea: get people inside without hurting their door, their lock or their property. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, because we come to you, whether you are at a lakefront home, a townhome, a condo or a custom estate.

This page explains how a house lockout call works, what affects the cost, what is particular about Westlake Village homes, and what to expect when you call (323) 997-8867. If you are standing outside right now, skip ahead and call. We are available 24/7.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us where you are, what kind of door you have, and what kind of lock is on it. Tell us if there is a smart lock, a keypad, a deadbolt, a gate, or an HOA-managed entry. Those details help us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    We confirm it is your home

    Before we open any door, we need reasonable proof that you live there or are authorized to enter, such as an ID with the address, mail, or a lease. This protects you and your neighbors, and we take it seriously on every call.

  3. 3

    We assess the lock and the door

    On arrival we look at the lock type, its condition, and the door and frame. Salt-free but humid lake air, sun exposure and years of use can leave locks sticky or worn, and that affects which entry method is safest.

  4. 4

    Damage-free entry

    We choose the least invasive method that works for your lock, such as bypass or picking techniques, so the lock and door stay intact. Drilling is a last resort and only after we explain why and what it would mean.

  5. 5

    We test the lock and talk through next steps

    Once you are inside, we check that the lock operates smoothly. If a key is lost, a smart lock battery has died, or the lock is failing, we can discuss rekeying, repair or replacement. You decide what happens next.

What affects the price

  • Type of lock: a standard deadbolt is a different job than a multipoint lock, a high-security cylinder or a smart lock with a keypad.
  • Time of day: nights, weekends and holidays can affect the rate because we are on call 24/7.
  • Your location within the service area and the access to your property, including gates, intercoms and guard-controlled entries.
  • Condition of the lock and door: corroded, worn or previously damaged hardware can take longer to open without harm.
  • Whether you want follow-up work after entry, such as rekeying, a lock repair, new keys, or a smart lock battery and setup fix.
  • Property type: a single-family home, a condo with HOA-managed hardware, and a multi-door property each call for different handling.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar leading the work rather than handing it to a call center.
  • Fully mobile: we come to your door, and there is no storefront or waiting room involved.
  • Damage-free entry is our first approach, so your lock and door are protected whenever the lock allows it.
  • Familiar with the lock mix common in Westlake Village homes, from multipoint locks and smart locks to gate and intercom setups and HOA common-area hardware.
  • Honest about options: if your lock can be saved we say so, and we do not push replacement when a repair or rekey will do.
  • Available 24/7, so a late-night lockout after dinner on The Promenade or a return from the 101 is handled the same as a weekday call.

House Lockout across Westlake Village

Westlake Village is a master-planned city that sits in Los Angeles County right at the Ventura County line, and its ZIP codes, including 91361, 91362 and 91359, are shared with Thousand Oaks. That overlap sometimes confuses people about where they are when they call, so we usually confirm your cross streets. Whether you are off Westlake Blvd (SR-23), Lindero Canyon Road, Agoura Road or Thousand Oaks Blvd, we come to you.

Housing here varies a lot. In the First Neighborhood you will find homes from the 1970s and 80s planned communities, many with original hardware that has seen decades of use. On Westlake Island, lakefront homes often have private gates, docks and front doors with multipoint locks, and the lake environment can be hard on metal parts and smart lock batteries. In Three Springs, gated estates and newer custom homes frequently pair a smart lock with a keypad or intercom, which adds another layer to a lockout.

Condos and townhomes, including those near The Promenade and The Shoppes at Westlake Village, often have HOA-managed common locks, mailbox locks and shared entries. If you are locked out of a unit, tell us whether the lock is yours or the HOA's, because that decides what we can do and whom we may need to coordinate with. A lockout near Westlake Lake or Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, or after a drive along US-101 (Ventura Freeway), is the same to us: call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

House Lockout in Westlake Village — FAQs

How do I get help with a house lockout in Westlake Village?
Call (323) 997-8867 any time. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we come to your home, condo or townhome. Tell us your location and lock type and we will guide you from there.
Will you damage my door or lock to get me in?
Our first approach is damage-free entry. Most residential locks can be opened without harm. If a lock is damaged or unusual and a non-destructive method is not possible, we explain the options before doing anything.
Can you open a smart lock or keypad lock?
Often yes. Many Westlake Village homes use smart locks, and lockouts frequently come from a dead battery or a glitch. Tell us the brand if you know it, and call (323) 997-8867 so we can plan for it.
I live on Westlake Island with a gate. Can you still help?
Yes. We work with gated properties, but we may need access through the gate, intercom or a gate code. Tell us how entry works when you call so we are prepared on arrival.
What if I rent or live in an HOA condo or townhome?
We can help, but we ask for proof you live there. If the lock is HOA-managed, such as a common door or mailbox, you may need HOA or management approval, and we will tell you what to expect.
What do I need to show before you open the door?
We need reasonable proof you are authorized to enter, such as an ID with the address, mail, or a lease. It protects residents and is part of every lockout call we handle.
How is the price of a lockout determined?
Price depends on factors such as lock type, time of day, location, the condition of the hardware, and any follow-up work. We do not quote numbers on this page, but you can call (323) 997-8867 to talk through your situation.
Can you rekey or replace the lock after I get in?
Yes. If a key was lost or stolen, or the lock is worn or corroded, we can rekey, repair or replace it. You choose whether to do that now or later.
