A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. A manager arrives to open the shop and the deadbolt won't turn, an employee pulls a door shut with the keys inside, or a warehouse roll-up door padlock jams during a busy shipping day. In Chatsworth, where so much of the economy sits in industrial buildings, small offices and self-storage facilities, a locked door can stall deliveries, payroll and customers all at once.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. We bring our tools to your door at any hour, day or night, weekends and holidays included. Owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on working carefully around commercial hardware, so the goal is always to get you in with as little damage to the door, frame and lock as the situation allows.

Whether the problem is a lost key, a broken key in a commercial cylinder, a seized lock, or a door that closed behind someone, we start by figuring out what is actually wrong. Often the lock can be opened without drilling or replacing it. When a lock is worn out or compromised, we can repair or replace it on the same visit so the building is secure when we leave.

How it works in Chatsworth

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us what kind of door it is (glass storefront, steel office door, roll-up warehouse door), what type of lock you see, and whether anyone is inside. That helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you're authorized

    Before we open a commercial space we need reasonable confirmation that you are the owner, manager or tenant with the right to enter. This protects you and the property owner, and we will explain what we need when you call.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the hardware, the door, the frame and the surrounding conditions. Commercial deadbolts, panic hardware, storefront locks and padlocks each call for a different approach.

  4. 4

    Open with the least damage possible

    We favor non-destructive entry first. If a lock is seized, broken or high-security hardware makes that impractical, we explain the options and any hardware that would need to be drilled or replaced before we proceed.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace if needed

    Once you are in, we can rekey a cylinder, repair a worn latch, replace a failed deadbolt or swap a padlock so the door works reliably and the building stays secure.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over keys

    We test the lock and door several times, cut or hand over working keys, and point out anything worth addressing later, such as a sagging door or worn strike plate.

What affects the price

  • The type of door and lock involved: a standard office deadbolt, a storefront lock, panic hardware and a high-security cylinder all take different amounts of work.
  • Whether non-destructive entry works or the lock must be drilled, which affects both the time and the replacement hardware needed.
  • Whether you only need the door opened, or also want rekeying, repair, a new deadbolt, a replacement padlock or additional keys.
  • The time of day, since after-hours, weekend and holiday calls involve different scheduling than a weekday daytime call.
  • Your location within Chatsworth and the surrounding area, and how easy it is to reach the door, such as a rear loading dock, a gated yard or an upper-floor suite.
  • The condition of the existing hardware, because worn, corroded or previously damaged locks can take more effort to open and may be better replaced.

Why Chatsworth chooses us

  • Fully mobile, 24/7: we come to your business at any hour, and there is no shop counter to visit.
  • Serving Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with hands-on experience across storefront, office and industrial hardware.
  • Owner-led: David Shar is the owner and lead technician, so you are dealing with a locksmith with real accountability.
  • Non-destructive entry comes first, because we would rather save your door and lock than replace them unnecessarily.
  • One visit can cover entry plus rekeying or replacement, which is useful for lease changes, lost keys or staff turnover.
  • We explain options and what they involve before work begins, so there are no surprises about what we're doing to your door.

Business Lockout across Chatsworth

Chatsworth's business life is spread across more than one kind of property. The industrial and business district around Canoga Avenue, Prairie Street and Lassen Street is full of warehouses, light manufacturing and self-storage buildings, where lockouts often involve roll-up-door padlocks, rear dock doors and commercial deadbolts. A tenant in 91311 whose lease just changed may want every lock rekeyed to a single master so old keys no longer work. We handle that kind of consolidation alongside the emergency entry.

Other calls come from the edges of town. Around the Santa Susana Pass area and Indian Hills, and across the equestrian horsekeeping district, working properties have barns, tack rooms, gated driveways and padlocked storage. A business owner who runs a boarding or training operation and is locked out of a tack room may also need the barn padlock and gate lock replaced, and we can do both on site. In the hills near Stoney Point, heat, dust and Santa Ana grit can seize exterior deadbolts, so we clean, re-pin or replace them depending on their condition.

We reach Chatsworth businesses off Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Devonshire Street, Nordhoff Street, Plummer Street and De Soto Avenue, and ZIP codes 91311 and 91313 are part of our regular coverage. Whether you are near the Chatsworth Transportation Center, along the Ronald Reagan Freeway, or out toward Santa Susana Pass Road, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Business Lockout in Chatsworth — FAQs

Do you really come out to Chatsworth businesses at night?
Yes. We are a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so nights, weekends and holidays are all covered. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door you're locked out of.
Can you open a commercial door without damaging it?
Often, yes. We try non-destructive entry first. If the lock is seized, broken or high-security, we will explain whether drilling or replacement is needed before we do it.
Will I need to prove I'm allowed into the building?
We ask for reasonable confirmation that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. It protects you and the property owner, and we will tell you what to have ready when you call.
Can you help with roll-up warehouse doors in the industrial district?
Yes. We handle roll-up-door padlocks and hardware, dock doors and commercial deadbolts. If you need locks rekeyed to one master after a lease change, we can do that too.
I run an equestrian property near Santa Susana Pass. Can you help with a tack room lockout?
We can. We open the tack room, and if needed replace the barn padlock or driveway gate lock so everything works properly. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss it.
What if my key broke off in the lock?
A broken key in a commercial cylinder can usually be extracted. After that we can cut a new key, rekey the cylinder or replace it if it's damaged.
How is the cost of a business lockout determined?
It depends on the lock and door type, whether non-destructive entry works, the time of day, access to the door and any rekeying or replacement you want. Call us and we will go over the factors.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. We are fully mobile and work on site at your business. For a lockout anywhere in Chatsworth, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
