A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. The owner arrives to open and the key snaps, a manager steps out to the dumpster and the door latches behind them, an employee leaves the only key at home, or a lock simply stops turning. In Granada Hills, that might be a shop along Chatsworth St in the older core, a small office off Balboa Blvd or Devonshire St, or a unit in a center near Zelzah Ave or Rinaldi St. Whatever the cause, the goal is the same: get you back inside without wrecking the door, frame or hardware.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We come to your location, whether you are on a main boulevard, in a rear service lot, or at a building tucked near the foothills. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, because a locked-out business loses time whenever the door stays shut.

Commercial doors are not residential doors. You may be dealing with a storefront aluminum door with a narrow stile, a steel back door with a deadbolt, a panic bar on an exit, a keypad or a high-security cylinder. Our approach is to identify the lock, choose the least destructive way in, and then leave the door secure and working. If the lock is worn, damaged or the key was lost, we can talk about repair, rekeying or replacement once you are inside.

How it works in Granada Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the address, what kind of business it is, and what the door looks like: glass storefront, steel back door, roll-up, or gated entry. Tell us whether a key broke, was lost, or the lock is jammed. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you can authorize entry

    Before opening a commercial door, we need to be reasonably sure the person asking is the owner, manager or an authorized tenant. We may ask for identification or some connection to the business. This protects you and your neighbors.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the lock type, the condition of the door and frame, and any alarm or access system. Whenever possible we choose a non-destructive method so the door, glass and finish are left intact.

  4. 4

    Open the door

    We use professional entry methods suited to the hardware, from picking and bypass techniques to careful work on a stuck latch. If a lock is broken or seized, we will explain the options before doing anything that could affect the hardware.

  5. 5

    Test and recommend next steps

    Once you are in, we check that the lock and door operate smoothly. If a key was lost or a former employee still holds one, we can rekey the cylinders. If hardware is failing, we can discuss repair or replacement. You decide what to do.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock and door: a standard deadbolt differs from a high-security cylinder, panic hardware or a storefront aluminum door.
  • Whether the entry can be non-destructive, or the lock is damaged, seized or broken and needs repair or replacement.
  • Time of day and day of the week, since we work nights, weekends and holidays and after-hours calls differ from daytime ones.
  • The location and access, including rear service lots, gated properties or buildings farther up toward the foothills.
  • Follow-up work such as rekeying after lost keys, replacing a worn cylinder, or adjusting a door that will not latch.
  • The number of doors involved, such as a front entrance, rear door and interior office or storage doors.

Why Granada Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so we come to your business rather than asking you to go anywhere.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar involved in the work.
  • We favor non-destructive entry to protect your door, frame and glass whenever the situation allows.
  • We explain options and what affects cost before work is done, with no pressure to replace hardware that can be repaired.
  • We handle follow-up on the spot, including rekeying, cylinder replacement and door adjustment, so the building is secure when we leave.
  • We confirm authorization before opening a commercial property, which protects owners and tenants alike.

Business Lockout across Granada Hills

Granada Hills is a northern Valley community, and its business doors reflect that mix. In Old Granada Hills along Chatsworth St, older storefronts and offices often have aging hardware that has seen decades of daily use, and worn cylinders and sticking latches are a common cause of lockouts. Around Balboa Blvd, Devonshire St and Zelzah Ave, you will find small offices, medical suites and retail spaces where a quick, clean entry matters because customers are waiting. We serve ZIP codes 91344 and 91394 and the surrounding area.

The terrain adds its own wrinkles. Properties toward the foothills, near O'Melveny Park, Bee Canyon and Bull Creek, can involve gated driveways and exterior locks that stick after dusty, hot Santa Ana conditions. Businesses and home offices in the Balboa Highlands and Knollwood areas may also have restoration-sensitive or older hardware, and we treat that with care instead of reaching for the quickest destructive option.

Getting around is straightforward from the Ronald Reagan Fwy (SR-118), I-405, I-5 and Sepulveda Blvd, along with Hayvenhurst Ave and San Fernando Mission Blvd. Near Granada Hills Charter High School or the Knollwood Country Club area, we arrive ready to work at the door, whatever the hour. If you are locked out, call (323) 997-8867.

Can you also rekey the locks after a lockout?

Yes. We are fully mobile and can work on exterior door locks and gate hardware, including units that stick from dust and heat. Tell us about the gate type when you call.
Can you open panic bars, keypads or high-security locks?
Often, yes, depending on the exact hardware. Describe the lock when you call so we can plan the right approach, and we will tell you if something needs repair or replacement.
How is the price of a business lockout determined?
It depends on the lock and door type, how easily it can be opened without damage, the time of day, your location, and any follow-up work. We explain what applies to your situation before we start.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your business in Granada Hills. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will take it from there.
