A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. Maybe the opening manager's key snapped in the cylinder, a lock failed overnight, or someone pulled the door shut with the keys still sitting on the counter. In Lomita, where many businesses are small and owner-run, a locked door can mean a closed shop, staff standing on the sidewalk and customers driving past.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. We come to you, whether you are along Pacific Coast Hwy, on Narbonne Avenue, on Lomita Boulevard or in a small office tucked behind one of the side streets. We are available around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Our goal on a commercial lockout is simple: get the door open, keep the hardware intact whenever that is realistic, and make sure the business is secure before we leave. If a lock is damaged or worn out, we can repair or replace it on the spot, and we can rekey if a lost key means you no longer know who has access.

How it works in Lomita

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of business it is, what type of door and lock you have, and whether the problem is a lost key, a broken key, a jammed lock or a door that will not latch. Details such as a glass storefront door, a steel back door or a keypad help us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before opening a commercial door, we need reasonable confirmation that you own, manage or lease the space. A lease, a business license, a utility bill or an ID tied to the business is typically enough. This protects you and your neighbors from someone trying to enter a place that is not theirs.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival, we look at the lock type, the door material and the condition of the frame. Commercial storefronts, aluminum-framed glass doors, rear service doors and interior office doors each call for a different approach.

  4. 4

    Open the door with the least damage possible

    We use professional non-destructive entry methods first, such as picking, bypass or decoding, so the lock and door stay in working order. If a lock is seized, broken or has been tampered with, we explain the options before doing anything that affects the hardware.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace if needed

    If the cause was a worn cylinder, a broken key or a lost set of keys, we can repair the lock, rekey it so old keys stop working, or install a new commercial-grade lock and cut fresh keys on site.

  6. 6

    Secure the premises and check operation

    Before we leave, we test every key and the door's latching, and confirm the business is properly locked and secure. That matters most for after-hours calls, when you may be leaving the space unattended.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: after-hours, overnight, weekend and holiday calls can be priced differently from regular business hours.
  • Type of lock and door: a standard keyed knob or deadbolt is a different job from a high-security cylinder, panic hardware, a keypad or a glass storefront lock.
  • Whether the lock can be opened without damage or has to be drilled, which can add the need for replacement hardware.
  • What happens after entry: simple entry, rekeying, a repair or a full replacement each carry different labor and parts costs.
  • Number of doors involved: if several entrances or interior doors need to be opened or rekeyed, the work scales accordingly.
  • Your location within our service area and the access conditions on arrival, such as a rear alley entrance or a locked gate.

Why Lomita chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at 2 a.m. or on a holiday gets the same attention as one at noon.
  • In business since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, leading the work, so you are not dealing with a call center reselling jobs.
  • Non-destructive entry comes first, because replacing a door or frame is rarely what a business owner wants.
  • We can handle the whole problem in one visit: open the door, then repair, rekey or replace the lock and cut keys if needed.
  • We ask for proof of authorization before opening a commercial door, which protects tenants, landlords and neighbors alike.
  • No storefront and no pretense: we tell you plainly what we can do on site and what the options are before work begins.

Business Lockout across Lomita

Lomita is a compact city of about 1.9 square miles, and its commercial life is concentrated in a few places. The Lomita Boulevard and City Center area has small retail, offices and service businesses, many in older buildings with long-standing hardware. The Narbonne Avenue corridor carries a steady mix of shops, professional offices and food businesses, and Pacific Coast Hwy (SR-1) lines up larger storefronts and traffic-facing businesses. Businesses in the 90717 ZIP code often have a front door, a rear service door and sometimes a storage or gate lock, each of which can fail on its own.

Because Lomita was incorporated in 1964 and much of the building stock dates from the 1940s through the 1980s, we often see aging locks, worn cylinders and keys that have been copied from copies. A key that finally snaps or a deadbolt that stops turning is a common cause of a lockout. We also see small apartment complexes where a manager needs a laundry room or office lock opened or replaced between tenants, and a lockout can overlap with a rekey.

We travel the area's main routes, including Western Ave, Lomita Blvd, Narbonne Ave and Pacific Coast Hwy, and we also serve people near Harbor Hills and the foothills leading up toward the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Whether your business is a few blocks from Lomita Park and the Lomita Railroad Museum or farther along the highway, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
