Access control replaces the question of who has a key with a clearer one: who is allowed through this door, and when. For a business, that means keypad codes, cards or key fobs that can be handed out, changed and taken away without re-cutting a single key. In Artesia, where so many small businesses share compact storefronts and employees often work varied shifts, that flexibility matters.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are mobile only. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools, hardware and know-how to your entrance, look at the actual door, frame and hardware, and recommend a system that fits how your business operates.

We install access control for the entrances that matter most: front doors, back-of-house and stockroom doors, office suites, and rear exits. We pay attention to the lock hardware underneath the electronics, because a good keypad on a weak door or a worn latch is still a weak entrance. Where an existing lock needs rekeying, reinforcing or replacing to work alongside the new system, we tell you plainly.

How it works in Artesia

  1. 1

    Talk through the entrance

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us about the door, who uses it, and what is going wrong with keys today. Staff turnover, shared keys and lost keys are the usual reasons businesses call us.

  2. 2

    Look at the door and frame

    We come to your location and examine the door material, frame, existing lock, hinges and how the door closes. Glass storefront doors, steel back doors and wood office doors each call for different hardware.

  3. 3

    Choose keypad, card or fob

    Keypads suit small teams and simple needs. Cards and fobs make it easier to deactivate one person without disturbing everyone else. We explain the tradeoffs honestly and help you match the system to your staff and habits.

  4. 4

    Install and test the hardware

    We mount the lock or reader, set up the strike or electrified hardware, and make sure the door latches properly every time. We test it from both sides before moving on.

  5. 5

    Program users and hand over

    We set up codes, cards or fobs, show you how to add and remove users, and walk through what to do if someone leaves the business or a credential is lost.

  6. 6

    Follow-up support

    If something needs adjusting later, such as a door that drags, a reader that acts up, or a new hire to add, you can call the same number and reach the same company.

What affects the price

  • The number of doors being controlled, since each entrance needs its own hardware and setup.
  • Whether you choose keypad, card or fob credentials, and how many users need them.
  • The condition and material of the door and frame, including whether reinforcement or repair is needed first.
  • Whether the door needs electrified hardware, a new strike, or a replacement of the existing lock body.
  • How much rekeying or cylinder replacement is needed on doors that stay mechanical.
  • Whether the work is scheduled in regular hours or requested urgently at night or on a weekend.

Why Artesia chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7 service: we come to your business rather than asking you to bring anything to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, so we have worked on a wide range of commercial doors, old and new.
  • We look at the door first and the electronics second, because access control is only as good as the hardware it is mounted on.
  • Owner-led: David Shar leads the work, so you are talking with the person who knows the job.
  • We handle the mechanical side too, including rekeys, high-use commercial cylinders and deadbolts, so one company covers the whole entrance.
  • We explain options plainly, including when a simple keypad is enough and you do not need a larger system.

Access Control across Artesia

Artesia's business life centers on Little India along Pioneer Boulevard, a dense strip of jewelry stores, grocers, restaurants and sari and retail shops. These are busy, high-use entrances. Doors open and close all day, staff come and go, and stockrooms and back doors need to stay controlled. A jewelry shop may want tighter control on a back office or safe room, while a restaurant or grocery may simply be tired of re-keying every time someone leaves. Access control gives these businesses a cleaner way to manage that.

Downtown Artesia has smaller offices and shops tucked along South Street and Gridley Road, many in older, compact buildings where the doors and frames have seen years of use. In those cases we check the existing hardware carefully, since a worn latch or loose frame can undermine even a good keypad or fob reader. Businesses near the Artesia Historical Museum, DES Portuguese Hall and Artesia Park often have their own entrance quirks, from older wood doors to rear lots and side entries.

Whether your business is in ZIP code 90701 or 90702, and whether you are just off SR-91 or tucked deeper into town, we come to you. Artesia grew from a dairy-farming community into a close-knit, culturally rich city, and its businesses tend to be owner-run and personal. We treat each entrance the same way: look at the door, listen to how it is used, and install something that works day to day. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.

Access Control in Artesia — FAQs

What types of access control do you install in Artesia?
We install keypad, card and fob systems for business entrances. During a visit we look at your door and how your team uses it, then help you choose. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your entrance.
Do I need a card or fob system, or is a keypad enough?
For a small team with a single entrance, a keypad is often enough. If you have staff turnover or want to cut off one person without changing codes for everyone, cards or fobs usually work better.
Can access control work on my Little India storefront?
Often yes. Storefronts on Pioneer Boulevard vary, including glass doors, steel doors and roll-down gates, so we inspect the door and frame first and recommend hardware that suits it.
Do you also handle rekeying and replacement cylinders?
Yes. Many businesses keep some doors mechanical and put access control on others. We can rekey, install commercial cylinders and replace worn deadbolts on the same visit.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront. We come to your business in Artesia, and you can reach us 24/7 at (323) 997-8867.
What if an employee leaves and still has a code or fob?
With access control you can remove that user's code or deactivate their card or fob without re-cutting keys. We show you how during setup, and you can call us if you need help.
Will you tell me the price before starting?
We discuss what affects the cost, such as the number of doors, credential type and door condition, before work begins. We do not guess at figures without seeing your entrance.
Can you install access control after an attempted break-in?
Yes. We can check the damage, repair or reinforce the door and lock, and add access control so the entrance is both stronger and easier to manage.
