A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. Maybe the owner of a shop near Cerritos Towne Center arrives to open and finds the key snapped in the cylinder, or a manager at an office along Bloomfield Ave is shut out after a late shift when the door closes behind them. Every hour the door stays shut can mean lost sales, delayed staff and an unsecured building. Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and commercial entry is a core part of that work.

We are fully mobile and available 24/7. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools and hardware knowledge to you. Cerritos has a lot of commercial property: a regional mall, a large auto dealership row, and office and retail centers with aluminum-storefront doors, panic hardware and master-keyed systems. Each of these behaves differently, so the first thing we do is learn what kind of door and lock you have before touching anything.

Our goal is to get you in with as little damage as the situation allows, then leave the building secure. Where a lock is worn out, broken or compromised, we can explain your options for repair, rekeying or replacement, and you decide. Owner and lead technician David Shar has spent decades on commercial doors, and that experience shapes how we approach every call.

How it works in Cerritos

  1. 1

    You call, we listen

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what happened: the type of business, the door involved, and whether keys are lost, broken or locked inside. A few questions help us arrive prepared for the specific hardware.

  2. 2

    Verify you're authorized

    Before opening any commercial door, we ask for reasonable proof that you are the owner, manager or an authorized tenant. This protects you and your neighbors from someone trying to enter a space that is not theirs.

  3. 3

    Assess the door and lock

    We look at the door type, whether it is an aluminum storefront, a glass door with a rim or mortise lock, a steel back door or a panic-bar exit. We choose the least destructive method that suits that hardware.

  4. 4

    Non-destructive entry first

    Where possible we use picking, bypass or specialty tools to open the lock without damaging the door, frame or glass. If a lock is damaged or has failed, we explain what entry will require before proceeding.

  5. 5

    Check, repair or rekey

    Once you're in, we test the lock and door operation. If a key was lost or an ex-employee may still have one, we can discuss rekeying or master-key changes so the old key stops working.

  6. 6

    Secure and confirm

    We make sure the door locks properly, hand over working keys if new ones were cut, and confirm the final cost with you before we wrap up.

What affects the price

  • Type of lock and door: a standard keyed deadbolt differs from a mortise cylinder, panic hardware or a high-security system.
  • Time of day: after-hours, weekend and holiday calls involve different logistics than a weekday daytime call.
  • Condition of the hardware: worn, broken or jammed locks can take more time and may need repair or replacement.
  • Whether entry is non-destructive: if the door or lock must be drilled or removed, parts and labor change the total.
  • Follow-up work: rekeying, master-keying, new keys or hardware upgrades after you're back in are separate from the entry itself.
  • Location and access: how easily we can reach the door, such as mall service corridors or gated lots, can affect the job.

Why Cerritos chooses us

  • Fully mobile and open 24/7, so a lockout at a closing-time retail door or an early-morning office is handled the same way.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar personally involved in the work, not a call-center handoff.
  • Familiarity with commercial hardware: aluminum storefronts, master-keyed systems, panic bars and mortise locks common in retail and office centers.
  • Non-destructive methods are tried first to protect your doors, frames and glass.
  • We verify authorization before opening, which protects your business and property managers.
  • We explain the cost and options before work begins, with no pressure to buy upgrades you do not need.

Business Lockout across Cerritos

Cerritos is a master-planned city, and its commercial life is concentrated in a few distinct areas. Around Los Cerritos Center, tenants deal with storefront hardware, back-of-house doors and management changes that sometimes call for a rekey and new master-key structure. The Cerritos Auto Square dealership row has its own mix of showroom doors, service bays, offices and vehicles, and the Cerritos Towne Center area has offices and shops that rely on keyed entry and keypads alike. We serve 90703 and the surrounding commercial areas.

Getting around is straightforward for a mobile service. SR-91 and I-605 bring traffic through the city, while South St, Del Amo Blvd and Bloomfield Ave connect the shopping and office districts. Whether your business is near the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, the Cerritos Library and Civic Center area, or a strip center off one of these roads, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Much of Cerritos was built out in the 1970s, so older commercial buildings can have aging locks and frames that fail at awkward moments. If your lockout turns out to be a worn cylinder or a master-key system nobody has documented, we can help you sort out a cleaner, more secure setup once you're back inside.

Will you damage my door to get me in?
We try non-destructive methods first, such as picking or bypass tools, so your door, frame and glass stay intact. If a lock has failed or is damaged and entry requires more, we explain that before proceeding.
Do I need to prove I own or manage the business?

Yes. After entry we can rekey locks and discuss a master-key setup so previous keys no longer work. This is a common need for tenants taking over a space.
How is the cost of a business lockout determined?
It depends on the lock and door type, time of day, condition of the hardware, whether entry is non-destructive and any follow-up work. We confirm the cost with you before we begin.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are a mobile-only service and come to your location anywhere in Cerritos, including the 90703 area. There is no storefront to visit.
