Business locks have a harder job than residential ones. They are used dozens of times a day, shared among staff, and tied to insurance, liability and sometimes patient or customer privacy. In Tarzana, that means everything from master-keyed suites along the Ventura Blvd corridor to roll-up doors and storefront cylinders on the side streets off Reseda Blvd and Tampa Ave.

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, with no storefront to visit. Our work comes to your building, whether you are locked out at midnight, replacing hardware after a staffing change, or planning a more organized key system for the whole property.

This page explains how commercial work typically goes, what influences the cost, and what is specific to doing it in Tarzana. We do not quote prices without seeing the job, but we will always explain what is driving the number before work starts.

How it works in Tarzana

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us what kind of business it is, what type of doors and locks you have, and whether this is an emergency lockout, a rekey or an upgrade. That helps us bring the right tools and parts.

  2. 2

    Verify authority to work on the property

    Before opening or changing anything, we need to confirm you are the owner, manager or an authorized tenant. For leased suites that may mean checking with the property manager, which protects you and the building.

  3. 3

    Assess the hardware and key system

    On site, we look at the cylinders, deadbolts, panic hardware, door closers and any existing master-key or access-control setup. We identify what can be saved, what is worn out and what is mismatched.

  4. 4

    Explain the options and cost drivers

    We lay out the realistic choices, such as rekeying versus replacing or adding keyed-alike doors, and explain what affects the price, so there are no surprises when work begins.

  5. 5

    Do the work and test every door

    We rekey, repair, install or open as agreed, then test each lock with the new keys, including from the inside and with any master key. Hardware that binds or sticks gets adjusted before we leave.

  6. 6

    Hand over keys and key records

    You receive the working keys and a clear explanation of who holds what level of access. We recommend tracking key holders so the next staffing change is simple.

What affects the price

  • The type of job: an emergency lockout, a rekey, a repair and a full hardware replacement are all different amounts of labor and parts.
  • The number of doors or cylinders involved, especially in multi-room medical or professional suites that need to be keyed to a common master.
  • Hardware grade and complexity, such as high-security cylinders, panic bars, mortise locks, electronic or keypad systems and gate or intercom integration.
  • Time of day and urgency, since after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled work.
  • Condition of existing hardware, including seized or damaged locks that need extraction or rebuild before they can be rekeyed.
  • Whether a master-key system needs to be designed or restructured, which takes planning in addition to the physical work.

Why Tarzana chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at a Ventura Blvd office or a warehouse after closing does not have to wait for business hours.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the technical work rather than handing it off to unknown subcontractors.
  • Experience with master-keyed suites, which matters in Tarzana's medical and professional office buildings where staff turn over and access levels need to change.
  • We explain options and cost factors before starting, and we do not pad quotes with services you do not need.
  • We handle the older hardware common in mixed-age buildings, including mortise locks that have seized, and will tell you honestly when repair makes more sense than replacement.
  • Our focus is on keeping your business secure and compliant with your lease and insurance expectations, not on upselling electronics you will not use.

Commercial Locksmith across Tarzana

Tarzana sits on both sides of Ventura Blvd, and the commercial needs differ by area. The Ventura Blvd medical and commercial corridor in ZIP 91356 is dense with professional offices, clinics and retail, many near Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center. These suites often use master-key systems, so when a front-desk employee or practitioner leaves, a rekey or master-key restructure is a common request. Staff turnover is the most frequent reason these buildings call us.

North of the Boulevard, the Tarzana flats include small businesses, shops and mixed-use buildings along Reseda Blvd, Tampa Ave and Lindley Ave. Older storefronts and 1950s-era buildings sometimes carry original hardware, and a seized mortise lock is a realistic problem. In those cases we extract the lock, assess whether it can be rebuilt, and get the door secure again, whether it is a business or a home-office entrance.

South of the Boulevard, the hillside areas and the El Caballero area in ZIP 91357 and nearby mix private estates with home offices and small commercial uses such as clubs and service businesses. Gated properties may need coordination between locks, gate intercoms and smart-lock systems. Whether you are near Mulholland Dr, the El Caballero Country Club or the Tarzana Recreation Center, we are mobile, and we come to you from US-101 or surface streets without you having to leave your site.

Commercial Locksmith in Tarzana — FAQs

Do you offer 24/7 commercial locksmith service in Tarzana?
Yes. We are available around the clock, every day, and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will discuss your situation and how we can help. We do not make timing promises, but we will be upfront about availability.
Can you rekey a medical or professional office suite on Ventura Blvd after staff changes?
Yes. Rekeying after staffing changes is a common request. We can rekey the suite, restructure a master-key system so different staff have different access levels, and test every door. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe the layout.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing commercial locks?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work while keeping the existing hardware. Replacing swaps the hardware itself. Rekeying is often more economical when the lock is in good shape, while replacement makes sense if it is worn, damaged or outdated.
Do you work on older mortise locks in Tarzana's older buildings?
Yes. Older storefronts and homes on the flats north of Ventura Blvd sometimes have mortise locks that seize or wear. We can extract them, assess whether a rebuild is practical, and replace them if not.
Can you help with gates, intercoms and smart locks?
We can work on keyed and electronic locks and coordinate with gate and intercom systems on properties such as hillside estates south of the Boulevard. Complex systems depend on the specific equipment, so we assess on site before committing to a plan.
How much does a commercial locksmith job cost?
It depends on the number of doors, the hardware type, the condition of existing locks, whether a master-key system is involved and the time of day. We explain these factors before starting. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your specific job.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so there is no storefront. We come to your business in Tarzana, which also means we can see your doors and hardware firsthand.
Do I need to prove I am authorized before you open or rekey a door?
Yes. We confirm you are the owner, manager or an authorized tenant before working. For leased suites, we may ask you to verify with the property manager. This protects you, your neighbors and the building.
