Car trouble in Woodland Hills rarely happens somewhere convenient. It happens in a Westfield Topanga parking structure after a long afternoon, in the lot of a Warner Center office tower after a late meeting, or at a trailhead off Mulholland Drive where phone signal is spotty and the nearest help feels far away. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so the shop comes to you. We have no storefront to drive to, and we are available around the clock.

Automotive locksmith work covers more than getting a door open. We handle lockouts, broken or lost keys, transponder keys, smart keys and key fobs, worn or damaged ignition cylinders, broken keys stuck in locks or ignitions, and key replacement when every original is gone. We also serve motorcycles, pickup trucks, work vans, RVs, and the fleet vehicles that businesses along Ventura Boulevard and in Warner Center depend on.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. That experience matters with modern vehicles, where a key is often a small computer that has to be paired correctly with the car. We explain what we are doing and what affects the cost before work begins, so there are no surprises on a stressful day.

How it works in Woodland Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year, where you are parked, and what happened. A lockout, a lost key, and a snapped key in the ignition each call for different tools, so a few details up front help us bring the right equipment to Woodland Hills.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership safely

    Before opening a vehicle or making a key, we ask for proof that the car is yours, such as registration or ID matching the vehicle. This protects you and protects every other owner from someone trying to get into a car that is not theirs.

  3. 3

    Choose the least-damaging entry method

    For a lockout, we use professional tools designed to open the door without scratching paint, bending frames, or damaging weatherstripping. Our goal is to leave your vehicle exactly as we found it, minus the lockout.

  4. 4

    Cut or program the key on site

    If you need a new key, we cut it and program the transponder or fob at your vehicle. Many cars must be paired electronically to start, so we test the key in the door, the ignition or push-button start, and the remote functions before we call it done.

  5. 5

    Repair ignitions and extract broken keys

    Worn ignition cylinders, sticking tumblers, and key fragments can usually be addressed on site. We remove the broken piece, repair or replace the cylinder when needed, and make sure the vehicle starts reliably.

  6. 6

    Test everything and review the work

    We check every key you leave with, confirm spare keys work, and walk you through what we did. For fleets and RVs, we can note which vehicles are due for spares so the next lockout is a non-event.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since newer smart-key and push-button systems take more programming than older mechanical keys
  • The type of key involved: basic cut key, transponder key, remote head key, or proximity smart key
  • Whether you still have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes how much work is needed
  • Lockout versus ignition repair or cylinder replacement, and whether a key is broken inside
  • Time of day, because we work 24/7 and late-night or holiday calls involve different scheduling
  • Location and access, such as a parking structure, a hillside road, or a remote trailhead, and the number of vehicles for fleet jobs

Why Woodland Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: every job is done where your vehicle sits, with no tow to a shop and no storefront visit
  • Serving Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with David Shar leading the work
  • Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays
  • Coverage across cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, and business fleets, so one number covers every vehicle you own
  • Keys are tested at your vehicle before we leave, including remote functions and push-button start where applicable
  • Plain-language explanations of what affects cost before work starts, with no invented urgency

Automotive Locksmith across Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills sits at the southwest edge of the San Fernando Valley, where the flats meet the Santa Monica Mountains foothills. Drivers here move between very different settings: the office towers and high-rise residences of Warner Center, the shopping at Westfield Topanga & The Village, student lots at Los Angeles Pierce College, and quiet streets in Walnut Acres and Vista de Oro. Each setting produces its own kind of lockout. Parking structures hide key fobs in bags, campus lots see long days, and hillside driveways make leaving a spare key in a drawer more tempting than it should be.

We work throughout the area, including ZIP codes 91364, 91367, and 91365. Whether you are stuck on Ventura Boulevard, near Topanga Canyon Boulevard (SR-27), along De Soto Avenue or Canoga Avenue, on Victory Boulevard or Vanowen Street, or off the Ventura Freeway (US-101), we come to you. Residents of the hillside estates south of the Boulevard often own newer vehicles with smart keys, and a lost fob there is best handled by programming a replacement rather than guessing.

Businesses along the Ventura Boulevard corridor and in Warner Center also rely on vehicles, from delivery vans to company cars. We can help fleet managers with spare keys, lockouts, and ignition repair. And if your question involves a home or storefront lock as well, ask when you call, since Crenshaw Lock Company handles those too.
