Artesia is a small city with a busy commercial heart. Pioneer Boulevard, home to Little India, is lined with jewelry stores, grocers, restaurants and clothing shops, many in compact storefronts that open early, close late and pass keys through many hands. Security needs here are specific: safes that must be serviced, locks that take heavy daily use, and roll-down gates that have to stand up to a determined attempt to force them.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we drive to your door with the tools and hardware needed to work on site, and we are available 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends and holidays.
Whether you are a new tenant who needs every lock changed before opening, a manager dealing with staff turnover, or an owner recovering from an attempted break-in, we aim to explain your options plainly, fix what is actually wrong, and leave your business secure. If you are unsure what you need, call (323) 997-8867 and describe the situation.
How it works in Artesia
- 1
You call, we talk through the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what is happening: a lockout, a damaged gate lock, a safe that is acting up, or a rekey after an employee leaves. We ask about the door, lock type and how urgent it is, so the right tools and hardware are on the truck. We do not promise arrival times, but we are available around the clock.

On-site assessment
A technician comes to your Artesia location and inspects the doors, cylinders, strikes, gates and any safe involved. We look for the real cause of the problem, such as a worn cylinder, a bent latch or damage from a forced-entry attempt, rather than assuming a full replacement is needed.
- 3
Clear options before work begins
We explain what we found and lay out your choices, for example rekeying existing hardware versus upgrading to higher-security cylinders, or repairing a gate lock versus reinforcing it. You approve the scope before we start.

Repair, rekey, install or service
We carry out the work on site: rekeying locks, installing commercial-grade cylinders and deadbolts, reinforcing roll-down gate locks, or servicing safes and checking time-delay mechanisms. Where a job calls for a part we do not have on the truck, we tell you so and plan the quickest sensible path.
- 5
Testing, keys and handover
We test every lock repeatedly, cut and label keys, and confirm that old keys no longer work where a rekey was done. We walk you through the result and suggest practical follow-ups, such as a key-control approach for staff, without pressuring you.

What affects the price
- Type of work: a straightforward rekey differs from installing new high-security hardware or servicing a safe.
- Number of locks and doors involved, such as a single storefront versus a multi-door office or warehouse.
- Grade and brand of hardware chosen, including high-use commercial cylinders, time-delay locks and reinforced gate lock assemblies.
- Condition of existing equipment, especially if a forced-entry attempt has damaged the door, frame or gate.
- Time of day and urgency, since after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled appointments.
- Key quantity and complexity, including restricted or controlled keyways for staff access.
Why Artesia chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a Pioneer Boulevard business is not left unsecured overnight while waiting for a shop to open.
- Operating since 1987 under owner David Shar, with decades of experience on commercial doors, gates and safes.
- Familiarity with the needs of jewelry stores, groceries and restaurants: safe service, time-delay locks, reinforced roll-down gate locks and frequent rekeys.
- We repair before we replace, and explain each option so you can decide what fits your budget and risk.
- We can also help with residential lockouts and worn deadbolts in Artesia's older neighborhoods, so one call covers both your business and your home.
- No storefront and no pressure: we come to you, show you what we found, and quote the work before starting.
Commercial Locksmith across Artesia
Artesia's commercial life centers on Pioneer Boulevard and the Little India district, where jewelers, grocers, restaurants and sari and retail shops share a dense strip close to Downtown Artesia. In ZIP codes 90701 and 90702, we see the same themes: high-value inventory that calls for a serviced safe and a dependable time-delay lock, steel roll-down gates that need solid lock reinforcement, and busy doors whose cylinders wear out quickly. A jeweler who has just survived an attempted break-in, for instance, often needs the gate lock strengthened, the safe checked and the time-delay lock confirmed working in one visit.
Restaurants and grocers along Pioneer Boulevard and nearby South Street and Gridley Road face a different pattern. Staff come and go, keys multiply, and nobody is certain who still has one. A rekey with new high-use commercial cylinders resets that situation without replacing every door. We can work around your hours, including late at night after closing, since we are mobile and always available.
Artesia began as a dairy-farming town settled by Dutch and Portuguese dairymen, and landmarks like the Artesia Historical Museum, DES Portuguese Hall and Artesia Park still reflect that history. Many homes behind the commercial strip are modest post-war houses on compact lots. If you own a business near SR-91 and also need help at home, such as a lockout or a tired deadbolt, we handle that too. Call (323) 997-8867.
