A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. The owner of a shop on Holt Avenue arrives to open and the key snaps in the cylinder. A property manager near Garey Avenue finds the office door won't latch after a late night. A vendor setting up at Fairplex discovers a padlock has seized on a storage container. In each case the real problem is the same: the business can't operate until the door opens, and every hour closed costs you.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile and available 24/7. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools and hardware to you in Pomona and work at your door, whether it is an aluminum storefront, a steel back door, or an older wood door in a brick building downtown.
Our approach to commercial entry is to get you in with as little damage as possible, confirm that you are authorized to be there, and then deal with whatever caused the lockout, whether that is a worn cylinder, a failing latch, a broken key, or a lock that needs to be rekeyed. You can call us at (323) 997-8867 at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
How it works in Pomona
- 1
Call and describe the door
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of business it is, what type of door you have (glass storefront, steel, wood, or a container), and what happened. Details like a broken key, a jammed latch, or a lost key set help us bring the right tools and parts.

We come to you
We are fully mobile, so a technician travels to your Pomona location, whether that is a shop on Holt Avenue, an office near the I-10 corridor, or a loft building downtown. We make no promises about arrival timing over the phone; we will tell you honestly what to expect when you call.
- 3
Confirm you are authorized
Before opening anything, we ask for reasonable proof that you own, lease, or manage the business. This protects you and your neighbors, and it is a standard step for any responsible locksmith.
- 4
Non-destructive entry first
We start with the least damaging methods: picking, bypassing, or manipulating the latch. Many commercial doors, including storefront aluminum and standard commercial cylinders, can be opened without harming the lock or frame. If drilling or cutting is the only option, we explain why first.
- 5
Repair, rekey, or replace
Once you are inside, we can repair a damaged cylinder, extract a broken key, rekey the lock if keys are lost or a former employee still has one, or replace hardware that failed. You decide what makes sense.
- 6
Secure before we leave
We test the door and lock from both sides, confirm that the keys work smoothly, and make sure the business is secure when we go. That matters most for lockouts that happen after hours.

What affects the price
- Type of door and lock: a standard commercial cylinder, a high-security lock, a panic bar, or a glass storefront door each take different tools and time.
- Method required: non-destructive entry is usually simpler than drilling or cutting, which may require replacement hardware.
- Time of day: nights, weekends, and holidays involve different scheduling than a weekday daytime call, even though we are 24/7.
- Follow-up work: rekeying, repairing a damaged cylinder, extracting a broken key, or replacing hardware adds to a plain entry.
- Number of locks involved: opening one door costs differently from handling several doors, a container, and a back entrance in the same visit.
- Your location within Pomona and surrounding areas, since we travel to you and distance affects the job.
Why Pomona chooses us
- In business since 1987, so we have seen the older commercial hardware in downtown Pomona brick buildings as well as newer aluminum storefront systems.
- Fully mobile and open 24/7, which suits businesses that discover a lockout at opening time, closing time, or in the middle of the night.
- Led by owner and lead technician David Shar, so you deal with a seasoned locksmith rather than a call center script.
- We try non-destructive entry first and tell you before we drill or cut anything, so you aren't surprised by damage to your door.
- We handle the whole problem, from entry to rekeying and hardware replacement, so you don't need a second visit from another company.
- Straightforward about pricing: we explain what affects the cost up front and don't make timing promises we can't keep.
Business Lockout across Pomona
Pomona's commercial landscape is varied, and lockouts look different depending on where you are. Along Holt Avenue and Garey Avenue, aluminum-storefront retail is common, with glass doors and narrow-stile hardware that can fail or jam. In the Downtown Pomona Arts Colony and along Antique Row on 2nd Street, older brick commercial buildings and loft conversions often have a mix of vintage and newer locks, so we check carefully before choosing a method. Businesses in ZIP code 91766 and nearby 91767 often fall into one of these two categories.
Some of our work follows the local calendar. During LA County Fair setup at Fairplex, vendors sometimes find that a padlock on a storage container has seized, and the job needs emergency on-site cutting and replacement. Near Cal Poly Pomona and Western University of Health Sciences, small offices, campus-adjacent shops, and student rentals have their own needs, from a locked-out manager to a landlord who needs several units rekeyed before new tenants arrive. Properties in 91768 and 91769 include a mix of these.
Whether you are in Phillips Ranch, Westmont, Ganesha Hills, near Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, or just off the I-10, SR-60, SR-57, or SR-71, the process is the same: call (323) 997-8867, tell us where you are, and we come to you. We do not have a shop, so everything happens at your door.
