A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. The owner arrives to open a Washington Blvd storefront and the key snaps in the cylinder. A manager steps out the back of a tenant suite and the door latches behind them. An employee closing up discovers the lock will not turn at all. In each case, the day stops until the door is open, and every hour matters to the people waiting on it.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, under owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, which means there is no storefront to visit. We come to you, whether that is a retail space, an office, or a commercial building, at any hour, every day of the year.

Our approach to commercial entry is to open the door without destroying it whenever that is realistic. Aluminum storefront doors, glass entries, and commercial cylinders each call for different methods. We assess the hardware first, then choose the least invasive way in, and if a lock is failing or damaged, we can repair or replace it on the same visit so the business can be secured again before we leave.

How it works in Montebello

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time. Tell us what kind of door it is, such as an aluminum storefront, a mall tenant suite, or an office entry, and what happened: lost key, broken key, a latch that engaged, or a lock that will not turn. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before opening any commercial door, we need to be reasonably sure the person asking has the right to enter. That might be the owner, a manager, or a tenant. We may ask for identification or other proof connected to the business. This protects you and your property.

  3. 3

    Inspect the hardware

    On arrival, we look at the lock, the door, the frame, and any panic hardware or closers. Storefront doors with narrow stiles, older office locks, and standard commercial deadbolts each respond to different entry methods, so a quick look comes first.

  4. 4

    Open the door with minimal damage

    We use the least destructive method suited to the lock. The aim is a clean entry that leaves the door, frame, and glass intact. If a broken key is stuck inside the cylinder, we extract it as part of the work.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey, or replace if needed

    If the lock is worn, damaged, or you suspect a lost key is in the wrong hands, we can rekey the cylinder or replace the hardware on the spot. You can then lock up properly and know who holds working keys.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over keys

    Before we finish, we test the lock several times from both sides, confirm the door closes and latches correctly, and hand over working keys so the business is secure and ready to operate.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock and door: a standard commercial cylinder, a storefront door with specialized hardware, or a high-security lock each take different effort.
  • Whether the situation is a simple entry or involves a broken key, a damaged cylinder, or a lock that has failed internally.
  • Whether you need only the door opened or also want rekeying, a replacement lock, or new keys made.
  • The time of day and day of the week, since nights, weekends, and holidays involve after-hours service.
  • Your location within the service area and how accessible the door is, such as a mall suite, a rear entry, or a gated lot.
  • Whether additional hardware, such as a closer, panic bar, or strike plate, is damaged and needs attention.

Why Montebello chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at an early opening or a late close is handled without waiting for business hours.
  • In business since 1987, with experience across many kinds of commercial doors, from older office hardware to aluminum storefronts.
  • Owner-led: David Shar is the lead technician, so the work reflects long hands-on experience rather than a call center handing off jobs.
  • We try non-destructive entry first, protecting your door, frame, and glass when it is possible to do so.
  • We can handle entry, broken-key extraction, rekeying, and replacement in one visit, so you are not left with a door that opens but will not secure.
  • We verify authorization before opening a commercial door, which protects the business and its tenants.

Business Lockout across Montebello

Montebello's commercial life stretches across a few distinct areas. Washington Blvd carries a long run of storefronts, many with aluminum-framed glass doors and commercial cylinders that see heavy daily use. The Shops at Montebello brings tenant suites and mall-style entries, where a failed lock or a snapped key can keep a shop closed during its busiest hours. Offices and service businesses sit along Montebello Blvd and Beverly Blvd, with access from I-5 and I-710 making the city easy for us to reach across Los Angeles County.

We serve the 90640 ZIP code and the areas around it, including North Montebello and the Montebello Hills, where newer development sits on the former oil-field slopes. Business owners and property managers around Grant Rea Park, the Juan Matias Sanchez Adobe, and the Quiet Cannon event center also sometimes need after-hours entry for venues and facilities. Montebello Gardens, the adjacent unincorporated area, is within reach as well.

Because we are mobile only, there is no shop to drive to. If your door is stuck, your key is broken, or you are simply locked out, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to the business, whatever the hour.
