Claremont is not a typical Southern California business district. Between the independent shops and restaurants of Claremont Village, the academic buildings of The Claremont Colleges, and the light commercial properties along Foothill Blvd and Base Line Rd, the locks here serve very different needs. A boutique near Yale Ave needs a reliable deadbolt and a quick fix when a key breaks. A college building may need a carefully managed master-key hierarchy. A small office may just need to know who still holds a key.

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, with no storefront to visit. We work from our vehicles and come to you, 24 hours a day, which matters for a business that discovers a damaged door or a lost key at closing time or before dawn.

Our commercial work covers lockouts, rekeying, lock and exit-device repair, master-key systems, high-security cylinders, and access-control hardware. We try to explain options plainly, so you can choose what fits your building and your budget instead of buying more than you need.

How it works in Claremont

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of business it is, what door or lock is involved, and whether you are locked out or planning an upgrade. Details such as glass storefront, steel back door, or panic bar help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    Verify authorization

    Before opening or changing anything, we confirm that the person requesting work is authorized to do so, such as an owner, manager, or property representative. This protects your business and any other tenants or occupants.

  3. 3

    Assess the hardware on site

    We come to your location and look at the door, frame, cylinder, and any exit device. We check whether the issue is the lock, the alignment, or wear on the door. Often a repair solves what looked like a replacement.

  4. 4

    Open, repair, or rekey

    For lockouts we work to open the door with as little damage as possible. For key control, we rekey cylinders so old keys stop working, which is common after staff turnover or a lost key.

  5. 5

    Plan master-key or access-control needs

    For larger sites, we discuss how many doors, who needs access to which areas, and how keys will be tracked. We can build a master-key structure or install access hardware that suits how your people actually use the space.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We test every lock and key, confirm the door closes and latches properly, and walk you through what was done so you can keep clear records.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: a simple lockout differs from rekeying several doors or designing a master-key system.
  • Hardware grade and brand: standard cylinders, high-security cylinders, and commercial exit devices vary in cost.
  • The number of doors or cylinders involved and whether keys must be coordinated across them.
  • Door and frame condition, since damaged or misaligned doors may need repair beyond the lock itself.
  • Access-control complexity, including electrified hardware, readers, and how the system is wired or powered.
  • Time of day and urgency, as after-hours emergency calls differ from scheduled daytime work.

Why Claremont chooses us

  • Operating since 1987, with decades of commercial lock experience guiding recommendations.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a broken lock at closing time does not leave your business exposed overnight.
  • Owner and lead technician David Shar oversees the work, so there is accountability.
  • We favor repair and rekeying when they make sense, rather than pushing full replacement.
  • We are comfortable with both modern commercial hardware and older mortise-style locks found in historic buildings.
  • Clear explanations of options and factors affecting price, with no pressure to buy extras.

Commercial Locksmith across Claremont

In Claremont Village, many businesses sit in older buildings along and around Yale Ave, where doors may be historic, glass-fronted, or fitted with older hardware. A lockout at a Village shop, or a worn deadbolt on a back alley door, is the kind of call we handle. Because we come to you, we can assess the actual door in ZIP code 91711 rather than guessing over the phone.

The Claremont Colleges bring a different scale of need. Pomona, Harvey Mudd, Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and the graduate institutions all manage dorms, labs, and academic buildings that depend on organized key systems or access control. When a building needs rekeying, a master-key review, or hardware repair, a clear plan matters more than speed alone.

Businesses in North Claremont and the hillside Claraboya area, along with offices near Foothill Blvd, Indian Hill Blvd, Towne Ave, and Mills Ave, also call us for rekeying and security updates. With easy access from Interstate 10 and SR-210, we cover Claremont around the clock. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need us.

Commercial Locksmith in Claremont — FAQs

Do you offer emergency commercial lockout service in Claremont?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 if you are locked out of a shop, office, or warehouse, and we will work to get you back in.
Can you work on older locks in Claremont Village buildings?
Yes. Many Village buildings have older doors and hardware. We assess whether a lock can be repaired or rekeyed rather than replaced, which can help preserve original character.
Do you handle master-key systems for larger buildings?
Yes. We can design and set up master-key systems for offices and institutional buildings, including defining who has access to which doors. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your layout.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a commercial lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping the same hardware. Replacement swaps the lock entirely. Rekeying is often more economical after staff changes or lost keys.
Do you have a shop I can visit in Claremont?
No. We are fully mobile only and have no storefront. We travel to your business, wherever it is in Claremont.
Can you install or repair access-control hardware?
Yes, we work with electrified locks, readers, and related door hardware. We will review your doors and how people use them before recommending a setup.
How is commercial locksmith pricing determined?
Price depends on factors like the type of work, hardware grade, number of doors, door condition, and timing. We explain these before starting. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk through your situation.
Do you serve areas near Claremont too?
Yes. We serve Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County, including businesses near Claremont along major routes like Interstate 10 and SR-210.
