A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. The opener leaves with the only key, a deadbolt jams on a cold morning, a manager closes up and realizes the keys are still on the desk, or a lock simply stops turning. In La Mirada, where commercial strips line Rosecrans Ave and Imperial Hwy and small offices sit tucked into the city's master-planned grid, any of those moments can stall a day's work, a delivery, or a shift change.
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. There is no storefront to visit; the shop comes to you, around the clock, with the equipment to handle commercial deadbolts, storefront glass-door locks, panic hardware, office keyed entries and more.
Our goal on a commercial lockout is to get you in with as little damage as possible, confirm the lock still works properly afterward, and help you decide whether a repair, rekey or upgrade makes sense. Where possible we open doors without drilling or replacing hardware, because the cheapest lock to fix is the one we did not have to destroy. If a lock is worn out or damaged, we will explain that plainly and give you options rather than pushing a replacement you do not need.
How it works in La Mirada
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door it is, what type of lock you see, and whether it is a front entry, back door, or interior suite. Photos or a quick description of the hardware help us bring the right tools.
- 2
Confirm you are authorized
Before we open any commercial door, we need reasonable confirmation that you own, lease, or manage the space. That protects you and your neighbors, and it is a standard part of responsible locksmith work.
- 3
Assess the lock and door
On arrival we look at the lock type, the door material, and the frame. Storefront aluminum doors, wood office doors, and steel back doors each call for a different non-destructive approach.
- 4
Open the door with the least damage possible
We use picking, bypass, or other entry methods first. Drilling is a last resort for a failed or high-security lock, and we will tell you before we do it.
- 5
Test and secure the hardware
Once you are in, we check that the lock operates smoothly, the latch catches, and the door closes and secures properly. If something is damaged, we can repair it right there.
- 6
Discuss rekeying, spare keys, or upgrades
If keys were lost or an ex-employee still has one, we can rekey the lock, cut new keys, or talk through options like a master key system so this does not become a repeat problem.

What affects the price
- The type of lock and door: a standard office deadbolt is a different job than a high-security cylinder or commercial panic bar.
- Whether the lock can be opened without damage or must be drilled and replaced, which adds parts and labor.
- The time of day or night you call, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours work differs from daytime work.
- Whether you want follow-up work such as rekeying, new keys, or hardware replacement once the door is open.
- How many doors are involved, for example a single storefront versus several interior suites or a gate and a back entrance.
- Travel distance within our service area, which varies depending on where in La Mirada or nearby we are headed from.
Why La Mirada chooses us
- Fully mobile and on call 24/7, so a lockout at midnight or on a holiday gets the same attention as one on a weekday morning.
- In business since 1987, with decades of experience on commercial hardware, not only residential locks.
- Owner-led: David Shar is the lead technician, so the people who run the company are the ones who understand your job.
- Non-destructive entry is our first approach, which keeps your door, frame, and lock intact whenever possible.
- We explain options in plain language and do not push replacements when a repair or rekey will do.
- Familiar with how La Mirada is laid out, from the Rosecrans and Imperial Hwy commercial corridors to institutional campus-style hardware around Biola University.
Business Lockout across La Mirada
La Mirada is a planned suburb, incorporated in 1960, and its commercial life follows the main roads. Retail strips and small offices along Rosecrans Ave and Imperial Hwy see steady foot traffic, while La Mirada Blvd and Valley View Ave connect businesses to the I-5 corridor. A lockout at a shop near the La Mirada Civic Center looks very different from one at a suite in a strip center, and we plan for the hardware accordingly. We work in ZIP codes 90637, 90638, and 90639.
The Biola University district in 90639 has its own rhythm. Campus buildings and nearby off-campus housing often use dormitory and institutional-style hardware, and late-night lockouts are common when a 24/7 mobile tech is the only realistic option. Offices and small businesses that serve the university community also run on irregular hours, which is exactly when a locked door becomes a problem.
On the other side of town, East La Mirada mixes residential tracts with neighborhood businesses, and the area around La Mirada Regional Park, the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, and Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center brings event-driven schedules where staff open and close at odd hours. Whether you manage a storefront, a facility gate, or an office suite, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
