A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. Maybe the opener's key snapped in a storefront cylinder, a keypad quit in the afternoon heat, or a manager walked out and the door latched behind them. In Palmdale, where summer sun bakes aluminum doors and electronic hardware, these problems can stop a day of work before it starts.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile and available around the clock. There is no storefront to visit. We come to your door, whether it is a shop on Palmdale Blvd, an office near the Antelope Valley Mall, or a unit in the industrial area around Plant 42.
Our goal is simple: get you in, keep the door and lock working, and leave you secure. When a lock is worn out or damaged, we can explain your options for repair, rekeying, or replacement, and you decide what makes sense for your business.
How it works in Palmdale
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door it is, such as an aluminum storefront, a glass door, a steel back door, or an office suite, and what lock is on it. Details like a keypad, a panic bar, or a master-key system help us bring the right tools.
- 2
Confirm you are authorized
Before we open any commercial door, we need reasonable assurance that you are the owner, manager, or an authorized tenant. This protects you and the building. Having an ID, a lease, or a business document at hand makes it quick.
- 3
Assess the door and lock
We look at the door, frame, and hardware first. Commercial entry differs from a house: storefront cylinders, mortise locks, rim exit devices, and restricted keyways each call for a different approach. We choose the least destructive method that works.
- 4
Gain entry with minimal damage
Whenever possible we open the lock by non-destructive methods so the door stays intact. If the hardware is failing, jammed, or broken, we tell you before doing anything that would affect it.
- 5
Check the lock and offer next steps
Once you are in, we test the lock so the problem does not repeat. If a key was lost, an employee left, or a cylinder is wearing out, we can discuss rekeying, repair, or replacement, including master-key or restricted-key options.
- 6
Secure the building before we leave
We make sure the door closes, latches, and locks properly. If anything cannot be fixed on the spot, we talk through a temporary way to keep the business secure until it can be.

What affects the price
- The type of door and lock: a standard office deadbolt is a different job than a mortise lock, a high-security cylinder, or an exit device on an aluminum storefront.
- Whether the lock can be opened without damage, or whether it is jammed, broken, or has a snapped key that must be removed first.
- Time of day. Because we are 24/7, nights, weekends, and holidays may be priced differently from regular daytime hours.
- Your location within Palmdale and the surrounding area, including outlying spots toward Lake Los Angeles or Quartz Hill.
- Any follow-up work, such as rekeying, repair, or new hardware, and whether it involves master-key or restricted-key systems.
- Electronic components, such as keypads or card readers, that may need diagnosis if heat or wear is the cause of the lockout.
Why Palmdale chooses us
- Fully mobile and 24/7: we come to your business, and there is no shop for you to travel to.
- In business since 1987 with owner David Shar leading the work, so commercial doors are familiar territory.
- We favor non-destructive entry and tell you up front if a door or lock will need to be damaged or replaced.
- Experience with commercial hardware common around Palmdale, including aluminum storefront doors, master-key systems, and restricted keyways.
- We discuss rekeying and repair honestly, so you only pay for what the situation actually requires.
- We understand heat-related keypad and electronic lock failures, a real issue in the Antelope Valley.
Business Lockout across Palmdale
Palmdale's businesses are spread across a wide area, and so are the lockouts we see. Downtown Palmdale and Palmdale Blvd have older storefronts and small offices with aging cylinders and hardware. Newer retail and service businesses cluster near the Antelope Valley Mall and along Rancho Vista Blvd (Ave P), where tenants turn over and locks may be shared across several keyholders.
The industrial and commercial corridor around Air Force Plant 42 and Palmdale Regional Airport brings aluminum storefront doors, master-key setups, and restricted-key systems. These need a technician who understands commercial hardware rather than residential locks. In ZIP code 93550 and 93551, we can reach businesses along Sierra Highway, 10th Street West, and Avenue S, and we also serve 93552 and 93591 toward Quartz Hill and Lake Los Angeles.
The desert climate matters too. Summer heat can leave keypad locks sluggish or unresponsive, and sun-baked weatherstripping and latches can bind. If you are stuck outside a business anywhere from CA-14 to CA-138 (Pearblossom Hwy), call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
