A business lockout is rarely just an inconvenience. A shop owner on Citrus Ave who can't open before the morning rush, an office manager standing outside with a team waiting, or a night-shift employee locked out after taking out the trash all have the same problem: the doors are shut and the day is on hold. Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and commercial lockouts are a regular part of that work.

We are a fully mobile operation. There is no storefront to visit; our technicians drive to you, at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. We don't promise arrival times over the phone because traffic on the I-10, Azusa Ave or Grand Ave varies, but we will tell you honestly what we can do and what to expect once we reach your door.

Covina has an unusual mix of commercial buildings. Historic downtown has 1920s and 1930s storefronts with older mortise and rim locks, while newer offices and retail around Badillo St and San Bernardino Rd more often have modern commercial cylinders, panic hardware and storefront glass doors. Knowing which you have makes a real difference in how we get you in without damage, and we prefer methods that leave your door and frame intact.

How it works in Covina

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us the address, the type of business, and what kind of door is locked: wood, glass storefront, metal, or a rear service door. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before we open any commercial door, we need reasonable assurance that you are the owner, manager or tenant with authority over the space. That protects you and your neighbors from someone else gaining access.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the hardware: deadbolt, mortise lock, panic bar, or storefront cylinder. Older downtown buildings may have worn or unusual hardware, so we check before choosing a method.

  4. 4

    Non-destructive entry first

    Whenever possible we open the lock by picking or bypass techniques so the door, frame and glass are not damaged. If a lock is broken or seized, we explain the options before doing anything more invasive.

  5. 5

    Test, repair or rekey if needed

    Once you are in, we make sure the lock works smoothly. If keys were lost, an employee left, or the hardware was damaged, we can rekey or replace the cylinder so your business is secure before we leave.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: after-hours, weekend and holiday calls are handled differently from daytime calls, and the service reflects that.
  • Type of lock and door: a standard cylinder is a different job from a high-security lock, mortise lock or panic bar on a glass storefront.
  • Condition of the hardware: worn, broken or previously tampered locks can take more time and may need repair.
  • Whether rekeying or replacement is needed afterward: getting you in is one task; changing locks because of lost keys or a former employee is another.
  • Number of doors involved: a single front door costs less labor than several interior, rear and suite doors.
  • Your location within the service area and the travel involved to reach you.

Why Covina chooses us

  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar leading the work, so experience with older commercial hardware is real, not claimed.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at 2 a.m. gets the same attention as one at noon.
  • Familiarity with older mortise and rim locks found in historic downtown Covina buildings, along with modern commercial hardware.
  • Non-destructive entry is our first approach, to protect your doors, frames and storefront glass.
  • We discuss the work before we start and don't push replacements you don't need.
  • We can rekey on the spot, so you leave with a secure business rather than a temporary fix.

Business Lockout across Covina

Covina's commercial life centers on historic Downtown Covina along Citrus Ave, where 1920s and 1930s storefronts sit near Heritage Plaza and the Covina Center for the Performing Arts. Businesses here often have original wood-frame doors with older mortise or rim locks, sometimes alongside newer deadbolts added over the years. Those mixed setups can be tricky, and a careful approach matters when the door itself is part of the building's character. Many of these addresses fall in ZIP code 91723 and 91722.

Beyond downtown, businesses line Azusa Ave, Grand Ave, Badillo St, San Bernardino Rd and Arrow Hwy, with easy freeway access along the I-10. Commuters using the Covina Metrolink station on the San Bernardino Line sometimes call after an early or late shift when they discover a locked office or shop. We also work in Charter Oak (91724) and the Covina Hills area to the south, where home offices and small businesses operate from larger-lot properties.

Whether you run a small retail shop near the theater, an office on Grand Ave, or a service business in Charter Oak, call (323) 997-8867. We'll come to you, wherever in Covina you are, at any hour.
