A business lockout is rarely just an inconvenience. Staff are standing outside, customers are turning away, deliveries are waiting, and an opening time is slipping. Whether a key was lost, a lock failed, or a door jammed overnight, the goal is the same: get you back inside quickly, without damaging the door, frame or hardware if it can be avoided.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit. We travel to your storefront, office suite, warehouse or commercial building, whatever the hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
Commercial doors are not the same as residential ones. Storefront glass doors, panic bars, mortise locks, high-security cylinders and electronic access systems each call for different methods. We match the approach to the hardware in front of us, so you get an entry that fits your door rather than a one-size-fits-all attempt.
How our business lockout service works
- 1
You call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the address, the type of door and lock, and whether anything looks damaged. Details like a glass storefront, a panic bar or a keypad help us bring the right tools.
- 2
We confirm you're authorized
Before opening any commercial door, we ask for reasonable confirmation that you are the owner, manager or an authorized tenant. This protects you and the property.
- 3
We travel to your location
Our mobile technician drives to your business with the tools for commercial entry. Nothing needs to be towed, carried in or brought to a shop.
- 4
Entry with the least damage possible
We assess the lock and choose a non-destructive method first, such as picking or bypass techniques. Drilling or other destructive entry is considered only when the hardware leaves no practical alternative, and we explain it first.
- 5
Check the lock and secure the door
Once you're in, we make sure the lock, latch and door still work properly. If a cylinder is worn, broken or if keys are missing, we can rekey or replace it so the business is secured before we leave.
What affects the price
- The type of door and lock: a standard cylinder, a mortise lock, a panic device or a high-security lock require different effort and tools.
- Time of day: after-hours, overnight, weekend and holiday calls can be priced differently from daytime service.
- Your distance from our route across Los Angeles and Ventura County, since we travel to you.
- Whether entry can be non-destructive or the lock needs repair, rekeying or replacement afterward.
- The condition of the door and frame, such as a jammed, warped or previously damaged door.
- Whether multiple doors or locks need attention, for example a front entrance plus a back or office door.
