A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. A shift supervisor leaves the keys inside a warehouse office, a lost ring takes the only key to a roll-up door, or a lock fails after a break-in attempt and the gate will not open. In Sun Valley, where so much of the economy runs along San Fernando Road and the industrial corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport, a locked door can mean idle crews, delayed deliveries and an unsecured property all at once.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, which means there is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools to you, whether that is a glass storefront door, a steel man-door beside a roll-up, a hardened yard-gate padlock, or an office suite deadbolt.

Our approach is to get you in with as little damage as the situation allows, then help you decide what should happen next. Sometimes the lock simply needs to be opened and you carry on. Other times the lockout reveals a problem, such as worn hardware, keys that too many former employees still hold, or a gate lock that has been tampered with. We will tell you plainly which situation you are in, and you decide what to do about it.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what you are locked out of: a storefront, a man-door, a roll-up door, a gate padlock or an interior office. Knowing the lock type and whether the door is steel, glass or aluminum helps us arrive with the right equipment.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before we open a commercial door, we ask who you are in relation to the business, such as owner, manager or tenant. This protects the property owner and keeps us from opening a door for someone with no right to be there.

  3. 3

    We travel to your location

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician drives to your address in Sun Valley, whether that is a unit off San Fernando Road, a building near Glenoaks Boulevard, or a yard closer to the Verdugo foothills. We make no promises about arrival timing, but we are available around the clock.

  4. 4

    Non-destructive entry first

    We start with methods that preserve the lock and the door: picking, bypass or manipulation where the hardware allows it. Hardened padlocks, high-security cylinders and some commercial panic hardware may need a different approach, and we explain that before we proceed.

  5. 5

    Test, repair or rekey if needed

    Once you are in, we check that the lock and door operate properly. If a key is lost, an employee has left or the lock was damaged, we can rekey or replace the hardware on the spot so the old keys stop working.

  6. 6

    Secure the property before we leave

    We confirm the door latches and locks correctly and that your remaining keys work. If damage cannot be fixed immediately, we discuss a temporary way to keep the building secure until it can be properly repaired.

What affects the price

  • Type of lock: a standard storefront deadbolt, a commercial cylinder, a high-security lock and a hardened yard padlock each call for different tools and time.
  • Door and gate construction: steel man-doors, glass storefronts, roll-up doors and fenced yard gates present different access challenges.
  • Time of day: nights, weekends and holidays involve different scheduling than a weekday daytime call, even though we are available 24/7.
  • Distance and location: the travel to your site and how easy it is to reach the door, such as a gated yard or a unit deep in an industrial complex, affects the job.
  • Follow-up work: rekeying, replacing damaged hardware or upgrading a lock after a break-in is separate from the entry itself and depends on the parts involved.
  • Condition of existing hardware: worn, corroded or previously tampered locks can take longer to open and may need replacement.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Serving Los Angeles area businesses since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar involved in the work.
  • Fully mobile, so every call is answered by a technician who comes to the door rather than sending you to a shop.
  • Comfortable with industrial hardware common in Sun Valley: roll-up door locks, hardened gate padlocks, man-door sets and fleet-related key needs.
  • Non-destructive entry is our first approach, so your door and lock stay usable whenever the hardware allows.
  • We explain options before work begins, including whether a rekey or replacement is worth it, with no pressure to buy more than you need.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a lockout hits during an overnight shift or a weekend delivery window.

Business Lockout across Sun Valley

Sun Valley is one of the most industrial neighborhoods in the San Fernando Valley, sitting at the base of the Verdugo Mountains. Warehouses, manufacturers, auto-dismantlers and recycling yards line San Fernando Road, and the corridor behind Hollywood Burbank Airport is dense with commercial buildings. In ZIP code 91352, we see lockouts involving roll-up doors, chain-link yard gates secured with hardened padlocks, and steel man-doors that were never rekeyed after staff turnover.

Typical calls fit the area. A warehouse in the airport industrial corridor may need its roll-up door and man-door opened after a key goes missing, then rekeyed so former employees no longer have access. An auto-dismantler or recycling yard on San Fernando Road might call after a break-in or theft, needing the gate opened and heavier padlocks and gate locks fitted. Getting around is usually straightforward with I-5, CA-170, Glenoaks Boulevard, Sunland Boulevard and Vineland Avenue all nearby, though we never promise arrival times.

Not every Sun Valley call is industrial. The Stonehurst area, near the historic Stonehurst Recreation Center, has 1920s stone and clinker-brick houses, and some owners run small offices or studios from them. Original hardware there calls for a careful touch, and we can open, rekey or upgrade a deadbolt without ruining the character of the door. Whether you are near the LADWP Valley Generating Station smokestacks, close to the Pink Motel, or up toward La Tuna Canyon, call (323) 997-8867.

Can you open a roll-up door or yard gate as well as a regular door?
We work on roll-up door locks, gate locks, hardened padlocks and standard man-doors. The method depends on the hardware, and we will explain the approach before starting.
Will you damage my lock or door getting in?
We try non-destructive entry first, such as picking or bypass. Some hardened or high-security hardware may need drilling or replacement, and we will tell you that up front.
Do I need to prove I own or manage the business?
Yes, we ask you to confirm your connection to the property, such as owner, manager or tenant. That protects the building and everyone who works there.
Can you rekey the locks after I get back in?
Yes. If keys are lost or a former employee still has one, we can rekey the doors and gate locks so the old keys no longer work. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss it.
My yard was broken into on San Fernando Road. Can you help?
We can open a damaged or jammed gate, replace compromised locks and recommend heavier-duty padlocks and gate hardware. Describe the damage when you call (323) 997-8867.
Do you have a shop I can come to?
No. We are fully mobile only, with no storefront. A technician comes to you at your business address.
How is the price of a business lockout decided?
It depends on the lock type, door or gate construction, time of day, location and any follow-up work like rekeying or replacement. We do not quote numbers here, but we explain what affects the cost when you call.
