A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. A manager arrives to open a shop on Agoura Rd and finds the storefront cylinder jammed. An employee closing up near Kanan Road realizes the keys are still on the desk inside. A contractor loses the only key to a suite and the crew is standing in the parking lot. In each case the goal is the same: get the door open without damage, and make sure the building is secure when we leave.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has spent decades working on commercial hardware. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We are available around the clock, and we bring our tools to your door in Agoura Hills, whether the call comes during business hours, late at night or on a holiday.

Commercial doors differ from residential ones. Many Agoura Hills retail spaces use aluminum-storefront doors with narrow stiles, hook-bolt or mortise locks, panic hardware, and sometimes both a keyed cylinder and a deadbolt. Offices may have keypad or access-controlled entries. We approach each door according to what it is, favoring non-destructive entry first, so the lock and frame stay intact whenever possible.

How it works in Agoura Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the address, the type of door (glass storefront, steel back door, office suite, gate) and what happened, whether keys are lost, inside, or the lock is jammed. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you're authorized

    Before we open a commercial space, we ask you to show you're an owner, manager, tenant or authorized employee. This protects you and your neighbors, and it is a standard part of responsible locksmith work.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we inspect the hardware: cylinder, deadbolt, mortise body, panic bar or electronic strike. We decide on the least invasive entry method, and we tell you what we plan to do and why before starting.

  4. 4

    Open the door with minimal damage

    We use professional non-destructive techniques wherever the hardware allows. If a lock is seized, broken or failed, we explain the options, including repair, and replace only what needs it.

  5. 5

    Rekey or replace if needed

    If keys were lost or a former employee may still hold one, we can rekey the cylinder so old keys no longer work, or fit new hardware. Often this can be done during the same visit.

  6. 6

    Test and secure before we go

    We cycle the lock, check how the door latches and closes, and make sure you have working keys. You leave with a secure building rather than a temporary fix.

What affects the price

  • Type of door and lock: a standard office cylinder is a different job from a high-security mortise lock or storefront hook-bolt.
  • Whether the lock can be opened without damage, or has failed, seized or been tampered with and needs repair.
  • Whether you need only entry, or also rekeying, replacement hardware, extra keys or a panic-bar fix.
  • Time of day and urgency: nights, weekends and holidays involve different scheduling than a daytime call.
  • Number of doors or locks involved, such as a main entrance, a rear door and an interior office.
  • Location and access, including whether the property is on a main road, in a shopping center or somewhere harder to reach.

Why Agoura Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at closing time or before an early opening is not left waiting for a shop to open.
  • In business since 1987 with owner David Shar leading the work, which means experience with older and newer commercial hardware alike.
  • Non-destructive entry is our first approach, helping protect aluminum storefront frames, glass doors and expensive cylinders.
  • We explain the options and what is driving the cost before work begins, with no dollar guesses over the phone that we can't stand behind.
  • We can rekey or upgrade in the same visit, so a lost-key emergency doesn't turn into an ongoing security risk.
  • We verify authorization before opening, which protects tenants, landlords and the businesses next door.

Business Lockout across Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills has a mix of commercial settings, and a lockout looks different in each. Along Agoura Rd and Kanan Rd, much of the retail is aluminum-storefront construction, where narrow-stile doors and hook-bolt locks call for careful handling. Shopping and dining areas such as Whizin's Market Square, near The Canyon club, bring tenants who open early and close late, which is when lost keys and jammed cylinders tend to show up. ZIP codes 91301 and 91376 both cover parts of the city, and we serve both.

Business needs here don't stop at storefronts. In Old Agoura, the semi-rural equestrian area, horse properties often depend on barn padlocks and a worn driveway gate lock that eventually seizes or needs rekeying. Near Lake Lindero, townhome and condo communities have HOAs that need common-area doors and cluster-mailbox locks rekeyed after a lost key or a change in management. We can help with those property-management jobs as well as emergency entry.

Getting around is straightforward for a mobile service. US-101, the Ventura Freeway, runs through the city, with Kanan Rd, Cornell Rd and Thousand Oaks Blvd as other main routes, and the hills near Ladyface Mountain and Chumash Park sit not far from commercial areas. Whether you're in an office near the freeway, a shop in Morrison Ranch's surroundings, or a business off a canyon road, call (323) 997-8867 and we'll come to you.

Business Lockout in Agoura Hills — FAQs

Do you offer business lockout service 24/7 in Agoura Hills?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and we'll come to your location in Agoura Hills.
Will you damage my storefront door getting in?
We try non-destructive methods first. Many aluminum storefront and office locks can be opened without damage. If a lock has failed or seized, we'll explain what's needed before we proceed.
Do I need to prove I'm allowed to open the business?
Yes. We ask for reasonable proof that you're an owner, manager, tenant or authorized employee. It protects your property and is a normal part of responsible commercial locksmith work.
Can you rekey the locks after I lose a key?
Yes. Rekeying makes the old keys stop working without always replacing the hardware. It's a common follow-up after a lockout, especially if a key was lost or an employee left.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. We are fully mobile only and have no storefront. We come to your business in Agoura Hills, so you can stay with the property.
Can you help with gates and padlocks on Old Agoura properties?
Yes. Horse properties in Old Agoura often have barn padlocks and driveway gates with worn locks. We can open, rekey or replace them. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your setup.
Do you work with HOAs and property managers?
Yes. For communities like the Lake Lindero townhomes, we can rekey common-area doors and cluster-mailbox locks, and coordinate keys with the board or manager.
How is the cost of a business lockout determined?
Cost depends on the type of lock, whether entry is non-destructive, any repair or rekeying needed, and the time of the call. We explain the factors up front so there are no surprises.
