Chatsworth has one of the larger concentrations of industrial and warehouse buildings in the northwest San Fernando Valley, and the locks on those buildings work hard. Roll-up doors get cycled all day, deadbolts take a beating from dust and heat, and tenants change faster than keys get tracked. A commercial locksmith here needs to understand all of that, not just how to cut a key.
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 when a problem will not wait until Monday. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the work to your door, whether that is a unit off Lassen Street, an office near Devonshire, or a gated yard in the hills.
This page explains what commercial work we do in Chatsworth, how a typical job goes, what affects the cost, and what to ask before you hire anyone. If you are in the middle of a lockout or a break-in repair right now, skip ahead and call (323) 997-8867.
How it works in Chatsworth
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Tell us what kind of building it is, what the lock or door is doing, and whether the site is currently secure. A jammed roll-up door padlock and a locked-out office manager call for different preparation, so a few details help us arrive with the right hardware.
- 2
Confirm who is authorized
For a business, we want to know that the person asking has the authority to change or open the locks, such as the owner, property manager or tenant of record. This protects you as much as us, especially during lease disputes or ownership changes.
- 3
Assess the hardware on site
We look at the doors, cylinders, deadbolts, padlocks, hasps and any access hardware, and tell you plainly what can be saved and what is worn out. Many commercial locks can be cleaned, re-pinned or rekeyed rather than replaced.
- 4
Open, repair, rekey or replace
We do the work you approved, whether it is a non-destructive entry, rekeying several locks to one key, installing a high-security commercial deadbolt, or replacing roll-up door hardware. Where possible we avoid drilling and keep the door intact.
- 5
Set up your key system
After a lease change or staff turnover, we can organize locks so one key or a master arrangement covers the right doors. We will explain who holds what and how to add keys later without redoing everything.
- 6
Test and hand over
Before leaving, we cycle every lock we touched, check the door closes and latches properly, and hand over all keys. You get a clear explanation of the work so your records are in order.

What affects the price
- Whether the job is an emergency after-hours call or a scheduled visit, since late-night and urgent work takes different planning.
- The number of locks, doors and padlocks involved, which matters on larger warehouse or multi-suite sites.
- The grade and type of hardware, such as standard commercial deadbolts versus high-security cylinders with restricted keyways.
- Whether existing locks can be rekeyed or repaired, or must be replaced because of wear, corrosion or damage.
- The complexity of the key system, including master keying or matching several doors to one key.
- Door condition and type, since roll-up doors, steel doors and glass storefronts each have different hardware and labor needs.
Why Chatsworth chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a Chatsworth business is not waiting for a shop to open.
- In business since 1987, which means decades of experience with older commercial hardware as well as current systems.
- Led by owner David Shar, so you are dealing with an accountable operator rather than an anonymous dispatcher.
- We aim to repair or rekey before replacing, which can keep costs reasonable on aging industrial doors and padlocks.
- We discuss options and what the work involves before starting, without pressure to upgrade things that do not need it.
- Experience across both commercial sites and nearby rural-style properties, useful in a city where warehouses and horse properties sit close together.
Commercial Locksmith across Chatsworth
Chatsworth sits in the far northwest corner of the Valley, against the Santa Susana Mountains, and its commercial needs reflect that mix. The industrial and business district around Canoga Avenue, Prairie Street and Lassen Street, mostly in ZIP code 91311, is full of warehouses, light manufacturing and self-storage. A typical call there is a tenant who has just signed a new lease and wants roll-up door padlocks and commercial deadbolts rekeyed to a single master, so old keys held by former occupants stop working.
Head toward the Indian Hills and Santa Susana Pass area, and the properties change. Gated lots, barns and tack rooms are common, and some are run as small businesses such as boarding or training. We handle barn padlocks, tack-room locks and driveway gate locks, which see dust, sun and weather that wear out cheap hardware quickly. The equestrian horsekeeping district has the same needs on a smaller scale, often in ZIP code 91313 and nearby.
We reach businesses along Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Devonshire Street, Nordhoff Street and Plummer Street, and near the Chatsworth Transportation Center where the Metrolink and Amtrak station draws commuters and small shops. With the Ronald Reagan Freeway close by, getting around the area is straightforward at any hour. Whatever the address, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
