City of Industry is not a typical lockout town. Only a few hundred people actually live here, and the city is overwhelmingly warehouses, distribution centers, cold storage, import/export facilities and flex units. That means a true house lockout here is uncommon, and when it happens the situation is often unusual: a caretaker's quarters above a shop, a live-work unit, a manager's residence on a larger property, or a home tucked near Industry Hills. We treat each one as the specific case it is rather than reading from a script.
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. Our technicians come to your door at any hour, every day of the year, with the tools to open a locked entry the way a locksmith should: by working with the lock rather than against it.
Because the building stock here is so commercial, many residential-style doors in the city are fitted with hardware you would not find on a suburban house: high-security deadbolts, rim cylinders, mortise locks and aluminum-storefront doors with narrow stiles. Knowing how those behave matters. A technician who only works on standard house deadbolts can end up drilling something that did not need to be drilled. Our goal is entry with the lock and door intact, followed by a clear explanation of what, if anything, should be repaired or upgraded.
How it works in City of Industry
- 1
Call and describe the door
Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us where you are, what kind of door it is (a standard house door, a storefront-style aluminum door, a gate), and whether the key is lost, broken or locked inside. These details help us bring the right tools the first time.
- 2
Confirm you belong there
Before opening any door, we ask for reasonable proof that you live in or are authorized to enter the property, such as ID matching the address or a lease. This protects residents and property owners alike, and it is standard practice for any responsible locksmith.
- 3
Assess the lock and door
On arrival we look at the lock type, the door material and the condition of the strike and frame. Deadbolts, rim cylinders, mortise locks and panic hardware each call for a different technique, and the assessment determines whether we can open it non-destructively.
- 4
Open it without damage
We use picking, bypass or decoding methods first, aiming to leave the cylinder, the finish and the frame untouched. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock is damaged or defeated in a way that nothing else will work, and we tell you before we do it.
- 5
Check security afterward
Once you are inside, we can look at whether the lock is worn, whether a lost key means the lock should be rekeyed, and whether the door hardware needs attention. Any repair or replacement is optional, and we explain it plainly.

What affects the price
- The type of lock involved: a standard deadbolt generally takes different effort than a high-security cylinder or a mortise lock.
- Time of day, since late-night, weekend and holiday calls involve different demands on our 24/7 mobile service.
- Door and hardware condition, because a worn, misaligned or previously damaged lock can complicate a clean entry.
- Whether non-destructive entry is possible, or whether a lock must be drilled and replaced.
- Any follow-up work you choose, such as rekeying after a lost key, replacing a lock, or repairing a strike plate.
- Distance and access conditions on arrival, including gated properties and large industrial sites.
Why City of Industry chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7: we come to the door, and there is no storefront to drive to.
- In business since 1987, with owner David Shar personally leading the work.
- Familiarity with commercial-grade hardware common in City of Industry, including mortise locks, rim cylinders and aluminum-storefront doors.
- A non-destructive approach first, with drilling reserved for cases where nothing else will work.
- Clear explanations before work begins, so you know what is being done and why.
- Experience across both residential and commercial work, which suits a city where the two often overlap.
House Lockout across City of Industry
City of Industry's residential footprint is tiny, so lockouts here tend to cluster in the places where someone does live or stay: homes and condos near Industry Hills, quarters on larger properties, and live-work units on the edge of the commercial districts. Around Grand Crossing and the Bassett-adjacent industrial district, a locked door might be an office-and-apartment combination or a caretaker's unit where the hardware is commercial grade.
We cover the city's ZIP codes, including 91744, 91745, 91746, 91748 and 91789, along with 91714, 91715 and 91716. Many of these reflect the city's business character, and some serve mostly commercial or PO-box addresses, so when you call, giving the street address and a nearby cross street or landmark helps us find you quickly. Valley Blvd, Azusa Ave, SR-60 and I-605 are the main routes we use to reach different parts of the city.
Landmarks like Pacific Palms Resort, Industry Hills Golf Club with its Eisenhower and Zaharias courses, and the rail yards help people describe where they are, especially at night when industrial streets look alike. Whatever the address, the approach is the same: confirm who you are, open the door carefully, and make sure you leave secure.
