A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. Maybe the opening manager's key snapped in an aluminum storefront door on Magnolia Boulevard, or a production office in the Media District changed hands and nobody can find the right key. Whatever the cause, a locked door means lost sales, idle staff and a building you cannot secure. Our job is to get you in with as little damage to your hardware as the situation allows.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being reachable at any hour. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, because the work happens at your door, whether that is at noon on a Tuesday or in the middle of the night after an alarm call.

Commercial doors are not residential doors. Burbank has storefronts with narrow-stile aluminum doors, older retail buildings with worn cylinders, offices with panic hardware, and studio-adjacent facilities with access control. We approach each one differently, and we start by understanding what you have before we touch it.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the address, the type of door (glass storefront, steel back door, office suite), and what happened: lost key, broken key, a failed lock, or a lock changed by someone else. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before opening a commercial door, we need reasonable assurance that you are the owner, manager or tenant with authority over the space. We may ask for identification or a lease, a business license, or another way to connect you to the premises. This protects you as much as it protects the building.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the hardware: cylinder deadbolt, mortise lock, panic device, electronic strike or a keypad. Non-destructive entry is the goal, and the type of lock determines whether that is realistic.

  4. 4

    Open the door with minimal damage

    We use professional entry methods suited to the lock. When a lock is damaged, corroded or has a broken key inside it, we explain the options before we proceed, including whether drilling is truly necessary.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace on the spot

    Once you are inside, we can repair a faulty lock, extract a broken key, rekey the cylinders if keys are missing or a former employee had access, or replace hardware that failed. Because we are mobile, this often happens during the same visit.

  6. 6

    Secure the building before we leave

    We test the door through its full operation, confirm it locks and unlocks smoothly, and make sure you leave with working keys so the business can be closed up safely.

What affects the price

  • Type of door and lock: a standard storefront cylinder is a different job than a mortise lock, panic bar or high-security cylinder.
  • Time of day: after-hours, weekend and holiday calls involve different logistics than a daytime call.
  • Whether entry can be non-destructive or the lock must be drilled or the hardware replaced.
  • What happens after entry: a simple opening versus key extraction, rekeying, repair or new hardware.
  • Number of doors and locks involved, such as a single front door versus a suite with multiple entries or a shared gate.
  • Access control or electronic components, which can add diagnosis time compared with a purely mechanical lock.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • We have been serving the Los Angeles area since 1987, so we have seen the commercial hardware found in Burbank's older retail strips and newer office buildings.
  • We are 24/7 and fully mobile, so a lockout at night or on a holiday gets the same attention as a daytime call.
  • We prioritize non-destructive entry and will explain when damage to a lock is unavoidable before acting.
  • We verify authorization on commercial doors, which keeps your business from becoming the target of a bad actor.
  • We can fix the underlying problem in the same visit, whether that is rekeying after staff turnover or replacing a worn cylinder.
  • We talk plainly about what the job involves and the factors that affect the cost, without pressure.

Business Lockout across Burbank

Burbank is a working city, and its business districts are varied. Along Magnolia Boulevard in Magnolia Park, you find antique row shops and small storefronts in older buildings, where worn cylinders and original hardware are common culprits in lockouts. The area around 91505 and 91506 includes the Media District, with production offices, aluminum-storefront commercial strips and facilities that depend on tight key control. When a lockout hits a small office there, we are frequently also asked to rekey after crew changes.

Burbank's major employers shape what we see. Offices and vendors near Warner Bros. Studios and Walt Disney Studios often need more than a simple opening, such as master-keying or an access rekey when staff changes. Businesses near Hollywood Burbank Airport, Hollywood Way and Olive Avenue deal with irregular hours, which makes the 24/7 availability of a mobile locksmith especially useful. Shops near Downtown Burbank and San Fernando Boulevard have their own rhythms, and so do the retail areas near IKEA Burbank.

We reach Burbank businesses via I-5, SR-134 and Victory Boulevard, and we serve ZIP codes including 91502, 91504 and 91521. The Rancho District has its own commercial needs too: stables, barns and tack rooms with corroded padlocks and worn gate hardware that sometimes fail at the worst time. Wherever your business is, call (323) 997-8867.

Can you open a storefront door without damaging it?

We can rekey the cylinders so old keys no longer work. This is common after staff turnover, including in the Media District, and can often be done in the same visit as the lockout.
Can you help with offices that use master keys or access control?
We can discuss master-keying for multi-door offices and help with the mechanical side of many setups. For more complex electronic access control systems, we will tell you honestly what we can handle on site.
How is the price of a business lockout determined?
It depends on the lock type, time of day, whether entry is non-destructive, and any repair or rekeying afterward. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door so we can explain what affects your situation.
Do you have a shop I can come to in Burbank?
No. We are fully mobile only, with no storefront. We come to your business wherever it is in Burbank, from Magnolia Park to the Rancho District.
