A car that will not open or start rarely picks a convenient moment. In Willowbrook it might happen in a hospital parking structure after a long shift, on a side street near the Willowbrook/Rosa Parks station, or in a driveway in front of a 1950s stucco home. Because we are fully mobile, the work happens wherever the vehicle is sitting. There is no shop to tow it to and no storefront to visit.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on practical, honest automotive work. That covers unlocking vehicles without damage, cutting and programming keys when all keys are lost, repairing worn ignitions, extracting broken keys, and servicing motorcycles, RVs and work trucks.
Willowbrook sits among the I-105, I-110, Wilmington Avenue, Central Avenue and Imperial Highway corridors, so many residents and workers drive daily and depend on their vehicles. A key problem can mean a missed shift, a missed appointment, or a stranded family. We aim to get you moving again with the least fuss, and we explain what is happening with your vehicle before any work begins.
How it works in Willowbrook
- 1
Call and describe the vehicle
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, year and what has happened: locked out, lost key, broken key, or a car that will not start. Those details let us bring the right tools and key blanks.
- 2
We travel to your location
Our technician drives to you, whether that is a driveway off Central Avenue, a lot near the MLK Medical Campus, or a roadside spot near the I-105. We do not give arrival time promises, but we are available around the clock.
- 3
Confirm ownership and assess
Before opening or making a key, we ask for reasonable proof that the vehicle is yours. Then we look at the lock, ignition and key system to decide the least invasive fix.
- 4
Quote before work starts
We explain the plan and what affects the cost, then give you the price before we begin. Nothing is started without your agreement.
- 5
Unlock, cut or program
We open the vehicle with non-destructive methods where possible, or cut and program a replacement key or fob on site. Ignition repairs and broken key extraction are handled the same way.
- 6
Test everything
We test the new key in the doors, trunk and ignition, confirm the remote functions work, and make sure you have the spare or backup options you need before we leave.

What affects the price
- Vehicle make, model and year, since newer vehicles often use more complex immobilizer and transponder systems.
- Type of key needed: a basic metal key, a transponder key, a remote head key, or a smart proximity fob.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the programming steps involved.
- Whether the job is a simple lockout or involves ignition repair, a broken key extraction or damaged locks.
- Time of day and location, since late-night and after-hours calls differ from scheduled daytime work.
- Vehicle type and quantity, such as a motorcycle, RV or multiple fleet vehicles needing keys.

Automotive Locksmith across Willowbrook
Willowbrook is an unincorporated community of Los Angeles County, and we serve the ZIP codes 90059, 90061 and 90222. Our work here ranges from drivers around the Willowbrook/Rosa Parks transit district, who park near the Metro station at Imperial Highway and Wilmington Avenue, to families on quiet residential blocks where cars sit in driveways beside modest 1940s and 1950s houses.
The MLK Jr. Medical Campus area keeps many people on long and irregular shifts. Staff, students at Charles R. Drew University and visitors to Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital sometimes come back to a locked car or a lost key at odd hours, which is where around-the-clock mobile service helps. We also reach neighboring Watts and Compton, along with commuters using I-105, I-110, Alondra Boulevard and Central Avenue.
If you spent the afternoon at the Earvin 'Magic' Johnson Recreation Area and came back to a locked car, or a work truck will not start on a commercial strip with roll-up gates, call (323) 997-8867. We will come to wherever the vehicle is parked.
