A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. Maybe the manager's key snapped in the lock while opening up, a closing employee pulled the door shut with the keys inside, or a lock simply stopped turning on a Monday morning with customers on their way. In Calabasas, where so much commerce sits along Calabasas Rd, Parkway Calabasas and the lifestyle retail around The Commons at Calabasas, a locked front door means more than inconvenience. It means a dark storefront, idle staff and lost hours.
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, so there is no storefront to visit. Our work comes to your door, day or night, weekends and holidays included. We focus on getting you back inside without destroying the door, frame or hardware whenever that is realistically possible.
Commercial doors differ from residential ones. Aluminum-storefront doors with narrow stiles, panic hardware, high-security cylinders, keypad and card-access systems, and glass entries with floor-mounted or surface-mounted locks each need a different approach. Knowing which technique suits which door is what separates a quick, clean entry from an expensive repair. We also help you afterward: rekeying, replacing a damaged cylinder, or making copies so the same lockout doesn't repeat.
How it works in Calabasas
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the business address, what type of door is locked, and whether it is a storefront, office suite or gated property. A few details about the lock and any alarm help us arrive with the right tools.
- 2
Confirm authorization
Before we open anything, we need reasonable assurance that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. For leased space, that may mean contacting the property manager. This protects you and your neighbors.
- 3
Assess the door and hardware
On arrival we inspect the lock type, door material, frame condition and any panic or access hardware. This lets us choose the least destructive method, whether that is picking, bypass or another non-damaging technique.
- 4
Gain entry with minimal damage
We open the door using the method that best protects your hardware. If a lock is broken, seized or damaged, we explain options before drilling or replacing anything so you decide with full information.
- 5
Repair, rekey or replace as needed
If the lockout revealed a worn cylinder, a lost key, or a departing employee who still holds access, we can rekey or replace the lock on the spot and cut new keys so your business is secure again.
- 6
Review and prevention
Before leaving, we confirm the door locks and unlocks smoothly. We also suggest practical steps such as spare key control or a keyed-alike setup, so you aren't locked out again.

What affects the price
- Time of day and urgency: after-hours, weekend and holiday calls involve different scheduling than a mid-week daytime visit.
- Type of lock and door: standard cylinders, high-security cylinders, panic hardware and aluminum-storefront locks require different tools and time.
- Whether the lock can be opened without damage or must be drilled, repaired or replaced.
- Extra work after entry, such as rekeying, new cylinders, key duplication or repairing a damaged strike or frame.
- Access control complexity, including keypads, card readers or integrated alarm systems that may need to be bypassed or reset.
- Location and site access, such as gated properties or buildings where we must coordinate with a property manager or gatehouse.
Why Calabasas chooses us
- Fully mobile since 1987: we travel to your business rather than asking you to come to a shop, and we are available 24/7.
- Owner-led experience: David Shar leads the work, which means decades of hands-on familiarity with commercial hardware.
- Damage-conscious approach: we try non-destructive entry first and explain options before any drilling or replacement.
- Commercial and residential range: from aluminum storefronts to gated-community offices and smart-lock systems, we work across the types of buildings Calabasas actually has.
- Clear communication: we explain what we found, what we recommend and what it affects before work proceeds.
- Follow-through on security: we can rekey, replace or duplicate keys during the same visit so the lockout is actually resolved.
Business Lockout across Calabasas
Calabasas has a distinctive mix of commercial settings. Retail and dining at The Commons at Calabasas rely on aluminum-storefront doors and glass entries, which often use narrow-stile locks and need a careful, experienced touch. Old Town Calabasas along Calabasas Rd has smaller shops and offices where older hardware and mixed key systems are common. Along Las Virgenes Rd, Parkway Calabasas and Mulholland Hwy, business parks and professional suites bring keypad, card-access and alarm integration into the picture.
Much of the city is guard-gated, including The Oaks, Calabasas Hills and Mulwood, and that affects service calls. Home offices, small practices and property-management or real estate work inside these communities may require coordination with a gatehouse or HOA before we can reach the door. If you are in ZIP code 91302, tell us when you call whether the property is gated so we can plan around entry procedures and avoid delays.
We reach Calabasas via US-101 (Ventura Freeway) and the surrounding canyon roads, including Old Topanga Canyon Rd. Whether your business is near Calabasas Lake, close to King Gillette Ranch, or tucked into a hillside office near Malibu Creek State Park, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
