A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. A manager arrives to open the shop and the key snaps in the cylinder. An employee closes up and realizes the keys are still on the desk inside. A deadbolt jams on a cold morning, or a recently changed lock stops cooperating. In San Dimas, where small retail, civic buildings, offices and rural properties sit side by side, each of these situations calls for a slightly different approach.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being reachable at any hour. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we come to you with the tools needed to open commercial doors, glass storefront locks, office suites, gates and padlocked outbuildings, and we aim to do it without damaging your door, frame or hardware whenever that is possible.

Our goal is simple: get you inside, make sure the lock still works properly afterward, and help you decide whether anything should be repaired, rekeyed or upgraded so the same problem does not repeat. If you are standing outside a locked business right now, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what you are dealing with.

How it works in San Dimas

  1. 1

    You call, we listen

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door you are locked out of, whether it is a glass storefront, a steel back door, an office suite or a gate, and what the lock looks like. This helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    We confirm you are authorized

    Before opening any commercial space, we ask for reasonable confirmation that you are the owner, manager or an authorized tenant. It protects you and the property, and it is a standard part of responsible locksmith work.

  3. 3

    We come to you

    Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, a technician travels to your San Dimas location. We do not make timing promises we cannot keep, but we will stay in contact so you know what to expect.

  4. 4

    Non-destructive entry first

    We assess the lock and door and choose the least invasive method that suits the hardware. Picking, bypass and specialty entry tools come first. Drilling is reserved for situations where nothing else will work, such as a damaged or high-security cylinder.

  5. 5

    Check, repair or rekey

    Once you are in, we test the lock and door operation. If a cylinder is worn, a key broke inside, or keys were lost, we can repair, replace or rekey so the business is secure again.

  6. 6

    Clear explanation before payment

    We walk you through what was done and what, if anything, we recommend next, so you can make the decision rather than feel pushed into extra work.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock and door involved, such as a standard commercial deadbolt, a panic-bar exit door, a glass storefront lock or a high-security cylinder.
  • Whether entry can be done without damage or the lock must be drilled and replaced.
  • The time of day and day of the week, since after-hours and holiday calls take a technician away from rest and family.
  • Your location within the San Dimas area, including how far a technician must travel to reach a canyon property or a hillside site.
  • Whether you need extras after entry, such as rekeying, new keys, a replacement cylinder or repairs to a damaged strike or frame.
  • The number of locks involved, for example a main door plus a back door, gate or padlocked storage area.

Why San Dimas chooses us

  • Operating since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar guiding how the business works.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at a closing-time hour or on a holiday weekend is not a problem we turn away.
  • A non-destructive-first approach that tries to protect storefront doors, frames and finishes before anything is drilled.
  • Experience with the mix of properties found around San Dimas, from small downtown shops to padlocked gates and outbuildings on larger rural lots.
  • Honest pricing conversations: we explain the factors that affect cost instead of quoting figures we cannot stand behind.
  • Rekeying and lock repair available at the same visit, so you leave with a business that is actually secure.

Business Lockout across San Dimas

San Dimas has a character all its own, and business lockouts here look different depending on where you are. In Downtown and Old Town San Dimas, the western-themed facades along Bonita Ave hide ordinary but important commercial hardware: glass entry doors, rear service doors and small office suites for shops and civic buildings. A lockout at a business near ZIP code 91773 often means a storefront deadbolt or a back-alley door, and we plan our tools accordingly.

Head north and the feel shifts. Around San Dimas Canyon and toward Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park, larger lots, horse-keeping properties, barns, outbuildings and gated drives are common, and padlocks and gate chains are as likely to be the problem as a conventional door lock. If you run a boarding, training or home-based business on this kind of property and cannot get through a gate or into a tack room, call us and describe what you have.

We cover the routes people actually drive here, including Foothill Blvd, Arrow Hwy, San Dimas Ave and Bonita Ave, with the I-210 and SR-57 corridors connecting the city to the rest of the region. On the southern hills, Via Verde has HOA-standard hardware, and commercial or shared amenity doors there can follow specific community requirements. Whatever the location, the number is the same: (323) 997-8867.

Business Lockout in San Dimas — FAQs

Are you available at night and on weekends for business lockouts in San Dimas?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. We are fully mobile only. There is no storefront to visit, so a technician comes to your business instead.
Will you damage my storefront door getting me in?
We try non-destructive methods first, such as picking and bypass tools. Drilling is only used when the lock is damaged or the hardware leaves no other practical option, and we explain that before proceeding.
Do you need proof that I am allowed to enter the building?
Yes, we ask for reasonable confirmation that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. This protects the property and is standard for professional commercial entry.
Can you help with a padlocked gate or barn on a larger property near San Dimas Canyon?
Yes. Many rural-style properties in the area have gates, barns and outbuildings secured with padlocks or chains. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the setup so we can bring appropriate tools.
How much does a business lockout cost?
It depends on the lock type, whether entry is non-destructive, the time of day, your location and whether you need rekeying or repairs. We explain the factors and discuss cost with you before work begins.
Can you rekey the locks after I get back inside?
Yes. If keys were lost, stolen or an employee left, we can rekey or replace the cylinders during the same visit so old keys no longer work.
What should I do while I wait for the locksmith?
Stay safe and, if possible, have your ID or proof of association with the business ready. Note the door type and any visible damage, and keep (323) 997-8867 handy in case we need to update you.
