A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. It might be an owner arriving to open a Metlox Plaza shop, a manager who locked the keys inside after closing near The Strand, or an office tenant on Sepulveda Blvd whose key broke in the cylinder. Every hour the door stays shut can mean lost sales, delayed staff and a building left unsecured, so the goal is to get you in quickly and leave the door working properly.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar built the business on mobile service. We have no storefront. The workshop comes to you, around the clock, whether the lockout happens at midday or in the middle of the night. We handle commercial glass doors, storefront deadbolts, rim and mortise locks, panic hardware, and office suite doors.

Manhattan Beach businesses have their own challenges. Salt air corrodes exterior hardware, coastal storefronts see constant foot traffic, and many buildings have been renovated several times, leaving a mix of old and new locks on one property. We take those conditions into account, aiming to open the door with the least damage and tell you plainly if the lock behind it needs attention.

How it works in Manhattan Beach

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us the type of business, the kind of door (glass storefront, steel back door, office suite) and the lock if you can see it. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before we open any commercial door, we need reasonable confirmation that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. This protects you and your neighbors from someone else getting into a building they should not enter.

  3. 3

    Assess the door and lock

    On arrival, we look at the lock type, the condition of the door and frame, and any signs of corrosion or prior damage. Beachfront locations often have worn or seized hardware, which affects the best way in.

  4. 4

    Non-destructive entry first

    Wherever possible we use picking, bypass or decoding methods that leave the lock and door intact. Drilling is reserved for situations where non-destructive methods will not work, and we explain the reason before doing it.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace if needed

    If the lock is damaged, worn or the keys are lost, we can rekey the cylinder, repair the hardware or replace it on the spot, so the business is secure when we leave.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over keys

    We test every key and the door's latching, confirm the door locks securely, and make sure you leave with working keys and an understanding of any follow-up recommended.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock and door involved, since a standard storefront deadbolt differs from a high-security cylinder or panic device.
  • Whether the lock can be opened without damage or must be drilled and replaced.
  • The time of day, as after-hours, weekend and holiday calls involve different demands on our availability.
  • Whether you also need rekeying, new keys, or replacement hardware after the entry.
  • The condition of the hardware, including salt corrosion or seized parts common near the coast.
  • Your location within Manhattan Beach and the access to the building, such as upper floors or secured parking.

  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.

  • Experience with a wide range of commercial hardware, from glass-door locks to panic bars and office suite doors.

Business Lockout across Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach is a compact coastal city with a lively mix of businesses. Along the Sand Section, shops, cafes and offices sit near the Manhattan Beach Pier, The Strand and the Roundhouse Aquarium, where sea air is tough on exterior locks, latches and hinges. Metlox Plaza and the downtown corridor have a pedestrian-heavy retail setting where a lockout can quickly disrupt a business day.

Further inland, commercial properties line Sepulveda Blvd, Rosecrans Ave, Manhattan Beach Blvd and Aviation Blvd, and Manhattan Village draws tenants and retailers of all kinds. Professional offices in the Hill Section and East Manhattan Beach also call us when keys are lost, locks jam or an employee turnover requires access control to be reset. Whether the address is in ZIP code 90266 near Marine Ave or tucked behind a retail center, we come to you.

Because we are mobile, there is no shop to drive to. If you are locked out near Polliwog Park or anywhere else in 90266, call (323) 997-8867 and we will take it from there, day or night.
