A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. Maybe the opening manager's key snapped in the cylinder, a closing employee pulled the door shut with the keys inside, or a deadbolt that has worked for decades finally gave up. Whatever the cause, a locked door means lost sales, idle staff and a building you may not want to leave unsecured. Crenshaw Lock Company has handled commercial entry calls across Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and Lakewood's mix of retail, office and light commercial properties is familiar ground.

We are a mobile-only operation. There is no storefront to drive to; our technician brings the tools and hardware to your location, whether that is a unit near Lakewood Center, a suite at The Centre at Sycamore Plaza, or a small office off Lakewood Blvd or Del Amo Blvd. We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, because lockouts do not keep business hours.

Our approach is to get you in with as little damage as possible. Most commercial doors can be opened without drilling or destroying the hardware, and we will tell you plainly when a lock or door has to be repaired or replaced so you can decide what is best. David Shar, owner and lead technician, has built the company on straightforward explanations and work you can rely on after we leave.

How it works in Lakewood

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door you have, whether it is a glass storefront, a metal back door or a wood office door, and what type of lock is on it. Details like a seized deadbolt or a broken key help us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before we open anything, we need to be reasonably sure you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. A lease, business paperwork or on-site staff recognition may be part of that. It protects you and your neighbors.

  3. 3

    Assess the door and lock

    On arrival, our technician looks at the hardware, door frame and any security features such as panic hardware or a secondary lock. This determines the least destructive way in.

  4. 4

    Open the door with minimal damage

    We use non-destructive entry methods whenever the lock allows. If a lock is damaged or seized, we explain the options, which can include repair, rekey or replacement, before drilling or cutting anything.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or secure on the spot

    If a key was lost or an ex-employee still has one, we can rekey the cylinders or set up a new key system, including master-key arrangements, so access matches who actually works there now.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We operate the lock several times, confirm the door closes and latches properly, and hand over working keys so the building is secure before we go.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: after-hours, overnight, weekend and holiday calls involve different scheduling demands than a daytime visit.
  • Type of door and lock: a standard office knob lock differs from a high-security cylinder, panic bar or glass storefront door with a specialty lock.
  • Condition of the hardware: seized, corroded or previously damaged locks can take longer to open and may need repair or replacement.
  • Whether rekeying or replacement is needed: opening the door is one task; rekeying cylinders, adding keys or setting up master-key systems are separate work.
  • Number of doors and locks involved: a single door costs less effort than several entrances, interior offices or a gate.
  • Your location within the service area and the access to the door, such as a secured lot, upper floor or restricted loading area.

Why Lakewood chooses us

  • Fully mobile and 24/7: we come to your Lakewood business at any hour, with no storefront detour.
  • In business since 1987, with decades of commercial and residential lock experience across Los Angeles County.
  • Non-destructive entry first: we try to preserve your door, frame and hardware before considering anything more invasive.
  • Owner-led: David Shar is the lead technician, so the experience behind the company is the experience at your door.
  • Honest recommendations: if a lock can be repaired, we say so rather than pushing replacement, and we explain any extra work before starting.
  • Rekey and master-key capability on the same visit, useful for retail tenants onboarding new staff.

Business Lockout across Lakewood

Lakewood grew quickly in the early 1950s as a planned tract suburb, and its commercial life centers on Lakewood Center, the large regional mall that opened in that era, along with nearby strips and offices on Lakewood Blvd, Del Amo Blvd and Carson St. For retailers there, a lockout often involves storefront hardware, rear service doors or a staff key that has gone missing. A common request is a storefront rekey and master-key setup when new employees start, so everyone has the access they need and nothing more.

Businesses sit close to residential streets, too. Lakewood Village, Lakewood Park and Carson Park are filled with single-story ranch homes, many with home offices or small side businesses, and we also see aging mid-century deadbolts that seize in the jamb. If you operate from a home-based setup in 90712 or 90713, or from a unit near The Centre at Sycamore Plaza in 90712 or 90715, the same mobile service applies.

With I-605 and SR-91 bordering the city, we can reach Lakewood from the surrounding region, including 90711, 90714 and neighborhoods around Rynerson Park and Mayfair Park. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through your lockout and head your way, any hour of the day or night.

Business Lockout in Lakewood — FAQs

Do you offer business lockout service in Lakewood at night?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7 and fully mobile, so nights, weekends and holidays are covered. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will take it from there.
Will you damage my door or lock to get me in?
We try non-destructive entry first. Many commercial locks can be opened without harm. If a lock is seized or damaged, we explain the options before doing anything that affects the hardware.
Do I need to prove I am allowed to enter the building?
Yes, we need reasonable confirmation that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. A lease, business documents or recognition by on-site staff can help. This protects the property and the people who rely on it.
Can you rekey my storefront after a lockout?
Yes. If keys were lost, a former employee still has one, or you simply want a fresh start, we can rekey the cylinders on the same visit. We can also set up a master-key arrangement for new staff.
Do you have a shop in Lakewood I can visit?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront. Our technician comes to your business, whether near Lakewood Center, on Del Amo Blvd or elsewhere in the city. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
What affects the cost of a commercial lockout?
Mainly the time of day, the type of door and lock, the condition of the hardware, and whether rekeying or replacement is needed. We explain these factors when you call so there are fewer surprises.
My deadbolt seems stuck inside the door frame. Can that be fixed?
Often, yes. Older deadbolts can seize in the jamb, which is common in mid-century buildings. We assess whether the lock can be freed and repaired or if replacement makes more sense.
Do you also help with lockouts at home-based businesses in Lakewood?
Yes. We serve commercial spaces and home offices, including those in Lakewood Village, Lakewood Park and Carson Park. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe your door and lock.
