A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. A manager arrives to open a Pioneer Boulevard grocery and the key snaps in the cylinder. An employee leaves with the only key to a back door. A roll-down gate lock jams after a long night. Every hour the door stays shut, customers go elsewhere, deliveries pile up and staff stand idle. Our job is to get you back inside without turning a lockout into a repair bill for a ruined door.

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: show up with the right tools and the right judgment. We are fully mobile and available around the clock. There is no storefront to visit, because we bring the work to your door in Artesia, whether that is a shop in Little India, an office near Downtown Artesia or a small commercial unit off South Street or Gridley Road.

Commercial hardware is not the same as the lock on a house. Artesia businesses often use high-use commercial cylinders, panic hardware, reinforced gate locks, and in the case of jewelers, time-delay mechanisms and safes. We assess what you actually have before touching it, then choose the least destructive method of entry. Once you are in, we can also fix whatever caused the problem, whether that is a worn cylinder, a broken key, or a lock that should be rekeyed after staff changes.

How it works in Artesia

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what kind of door is locked, such as a glass storefront, a steel back door, a roll-down gate or an office suite, and whether a key broke, was lost or the lock simply failed. That helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before opening a commercial space we need reasonable confirmation that you own, lease or manage it. This protects tenants and landlords alike, and it is a normal part of responsible lockout work.

  3. 3

    Assess the hardware

    On arrival we look at the lock type, the door and frame, and any gate or secondary lock. A standard commercial deadbolt, a high-security cylinder and a reinforced gate lock each call for a different approach.

  4. 4

    Open it with minimal damage

    We favor non-destructive entry wherever the hardware allows, so the door, frame and lock stay usable. If a lock is too damaged or too secure to open cleanly, we explain the options before drilling or replacing anything.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace as needed

    With the door open, we can repair a failing cylinder, extract a broken key, rekey locks after staff turnover, or install new commercial-grade hardware so the same lockout does not repeat.

  6. 6

    Test and hand back secure

    We test every lock we touched, make sure keys work smoothly, and confirm the business can be locked up properly before we leave.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock and door involved, since a standard commercial deadbolt, a high-security cylinder and a reinforced gate lock take different tools and skill.
  • Whether entry can be gained without damage, or whether the lock must be drilled or replaced to open the door.
  • What happens after entry, such as rekeying several doors, replacing worn cylinders or installing new hardware.
  • The time of day and the urgency of the call, since we answer 24/7 including nights, weekends and holidays.
  • Whether specialty equipment is involved, such as safes, time-delay locks or steel roll-down gates, which can need extra work.
  • The number of doors and locks that need attention during the same visit.

Why Artesia chooses us

  • Fully mobile and 24/7, so a lockout at closing time or before dawn gets answered instead of waiting for shop hours.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar directly behind the work.
  • Experience with the kinds of hardware Pioneer Boulevard businesses rely on, including safes, time-delay locks and reinforced roll-down gate locks.
  • A preference for non-destructive entry, with a clear explanation before any drilling or replacement.
  • One visit can cover the lockout and the fix, such as rekeying after staff turnover or replacing a worn commercial cylinder.
  • Honest communication about what a job involves, without pressure to replace hardware that can be saved.

Business Lockout across Artesia

Artesia is a small city with a distinct commercial identity. Little India along Pioneer Boulevard is the heart of it, a dense strip of jewelry stores, grocers, restaurants and sari and retail shops. These businesses lean on their locks every day. Jewelers need safes serviced and time-delay locks checked, and after an attempted break-in a steel roll-down gate lock often needs reinforcing. Restaurants and groceries with busy staff rosters frequently ask for a rekey and new high-use cylinders when employees leave. We handle all of that, along with the emergency lockout that brings you to us in the first place.

Further into Downtown Artesia, near landmarks like the Artesia Historical Museum, the DES Portuguese Hall and Artesia Park, you will find smaller offices and service businesses with their own needs. Artesia began as a dairy-farming town settled by Dutch and Portuguese dairymen, and the residential core still has modest post-war single-family homes on compact lots. If you own one of those homes and are locked out, we can open the door and replace a worn deadbolt in the same visit.

We serve ZIP codes 90701 and 90702 and reach businesses along SR-91, Pioneer Blvd, South St and Gridley Rd. Because we are mobile only, you will not visit a shop. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to your door.
