A business lockout in Commerce rarely looks like a lockout at a house. It might be a manager stuck outside an aluminum-storefront shop on Washington Blvd before opening, a night-shift supervisor whose key no longer turns the office panic hardware, or a warehouse tenant who cannot open a roll-up door or a dock gate padlock. In a city built around distribution centers, cold storage and the rail activity around the BNSF Hobart intermodal yard, a locked door can quickly stall a shift, a delivery or a whole crew.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, because our locksmiths drive to your door, whether that is an industrial park off Eastern Ave or a small office near Atlantic Blvd. We answer around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays, which matters when the businesses around you run on odd hours.
Our goal on a commercial lockout is to get you in with as little damage as the hardware allows, then leave the door secure and working. If a lock is worn out, seized or compromised, we can explain your options on the spot: repair, rekey or replacement. We do not guess at what you need before seeing the door, and we will tell you plainly if a lock should be replaced rather than simply opened.
How it works in Commerce
- 1
You call, we confirm the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door you are dealing with: glass storefront, steel office door, roll-up, dock gate or padlocked chain-link. We ask a few questions about the hardware and whether anyone is inside, then dispatch a mobile locksmith. We do not promise arrival times, but we are available 24/7.
- 2
We verify you are authorized
Before we open a commercial door, we ask for reasonable proof that you are the owner, manager or an authorized tenant, such as ID, a lease, or a business connection to the property. This protects you and your neighbors from someone trying to enter a space that is not theirs.
- 3
We assess the lock and choose the least damaging method
Aluminum-storefront deadbolts, panic bars, cylinder locks on roll-up doors and high-security padlocks each call for different approaches. We pick the method that opens the door without drilling or cutting unless the hardware leaves no other choice.
- 4
We open the door and check the hardware
Once you are in, we look at why you were locked out. A worn cylinder, a bent strike, a failing panic device or a lost key may be the cause. We show you what we found so you can decide what to do next.
- 5
Repair, rekey or replace, if you want it
If a key is lost or an employee has left, we can rekey cylinders or reset a master-key system. If a padlock or hasp was cut or damaged, we can replace it with a stronger one. You decide before we start any work beyond the entry.
- 6
We test and secure before we leave
We confirm the door locks and unlocks smoothly with working keys, and that the building is secure when we go. You leave with a door that is closed up properly, not just opened.

What affects the price
- The type of lock and door: a standard storefront deadbolt is a different job from a high-security padlock, a panic device or a roll-up door cylinder.
- Whether the lock can be opened without damage or has to be drilled or cut, which can mean replacement parts.
- Time of day and day of the week, since after-hours, overnight and holiday calls involve different demands than a daytime call.
- Where your site is in Commerce and how far our mobile technician has to travel to reach it.
- Whether you want extra work after entry, such as rekeying, replacing a hasp or padlock, repairing panic hardware, or resetting a master-key system.
- The number of locks involved, as a single door differs from a dock wall or a building with several tenant doors.
Why Commerce chooses us

Business Lockout across Commerce
Commerce is a heavily industrial city, and that shapes the lockouts we see. Warehouses and distribution centers cluster near the BNSF Hobart intermodal yard and along roads like Eastern Ave, Telegraph Rd and Atlantic Blvd, while aluminum-storefront shops line stretches of Washington Blvd. With the I-5, I-710 and SR-60 all passing through, many businesses here keep early, late and overnight hours, so a lockout does not always happen at a convenient time.
The work varies by part of town. In the Citadel district, near the Citadel Outlets, retail and office doors need quick, tidy entry that does not disrupt customers. Around Bandini and the commercial blocks off Washington Blvd, we often deal with dock gates, hasps and padlocks. A typical call might be a cut lock on a loading-dock gate that needs a stronger padlock and hasp, or a distribution tenant that needs a full rekey and master-key reset, including dock roll-up padlocks and office panic hardware, after an employee is terminated. Businesses in ZIP codes like 90040 and 90022 are part of our regular service area, as are those in 90023 and 90091.
Commerce also has residential pockets such as Rosewood Park and Bristow Park, with small stucco bungalows from the 1940s and 1950s. Their original deadbolts can wear down and seize in the jamb, and we have helped with that kind of lockout too. Whether you work near the Commerce Library, the Commerce Casino or an industrial yard, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
