A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. Maybe the opening manager's key snapped in the lock, a deadbolt stopped turning, or a door shut behind you during a late closing. In Temple City, that can mean a Las Tunas Drive storefront with customers waiting, or a small office where a team can't start the day. We understand that every hour a door stays shut costs a business something.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar still leads the work. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit, because the shop comes to you in a service vehicle equipped for commercial locks. We are available around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Our goal on a lockout is simple: get you in with as little damage as possible, then make sure the door secures properly again. If a lock is worn, a key was lost, or a former employee still has access, we can repair, rekey or replace hardware right there, so the emergency doesn't turn into a repeat problem.

How it works in Temple City

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time of day or night. Tell us what kind of door it is, such as a glass storefront, a steel back door or an office suite, and what type of lock you see. That helps us bring the right tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm you're authorized

    Before we open a commercial door, we need to be reasonably sure the person asking has the right to be there. A manager, owner or tenant who can show a connection to the business is typical. This protects you and your property.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the hardware: deadbolt, mortise lock, panic device, or electronic access. Older Las Tunas Drive storefronts often have aged hardware, while newer buildings may have different commercial-grade systems. This tells us the least destructive way in.

  4. 4

    Gain entry with minimal damage

    We favor non-destructive methods such as picking and bypass techniques where the lock allows. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock is damaged or defeats other methods, and we tell you before we do it.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace as needed

    Once inside, we can fix a sticking cylinder, rekey locks so lost keys no longer work, or install new hardware. If the lockout came from a broken key or failing lock, solving that now saves a second emergency call.

  6. 6

    Test and hand back keys

    We test the door from both sides, confirm the keys work smoothly, and make sure the business can be locked securely before we leave.

What affects the price

  • Time of day: an after-hours, weekend or holiday call is different from a daytime weekday call.
  • Type of lock and door: a standard deadbolt differs from a high-security cylinder, mortise lock, panic bar or electronic access system.
  • Condition of the hardware: worn, corroded or previously damaged locks can take longer to open and may need repair.
  • Whether rekeying or replacement is needed: opening the door is one task, and new cylinders, keys or hardware are separate.
  • Number of locks involved: a single front door is simpler than a building with several entry points or a suite with multiple doors.
  • Your location within the service area and access to the door, such as a rear alley or a locked gate.

Why Temple City chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at closing time or early morning is not left waiting for business hours.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar directly involved in the work.
  • A non-destructive approach first, so your storefront door, frame and glass stay intact whenever the lock allows.
  • Able to handle the follow-up on the spot, including rekeying after a lost key or employee turnover and replacing worn hardware.
  • Familiar with the mix of older storefronts and newer multi-unit buildings found in and around Temple City.
  • Clear communication about what we plan to do, and why, before any drilling or replacement.

Business Lockout across Temple City

Temple City's business life is concentrated along Las Tunas Drive, the walkable corridor in Downtown Las Tunas Drive where small shops, restaurants and offices sit in storefronts of many different ages. Older buildings often carry older locks, which can seize or break keys, and that's a common cause of lockouts. If you're in ZIP code 91780 and can't get into your shop, we come to you, whether you're near Temple City Boulevard, Rosemead Boulevard (SR-19) or Baldwin Avenue.

The city is also changing. Teardown-rebuild homes and new townhome and small apartment developments are appearing in areas such as Mission View Acres and the Camellia area. Builders and property managers sometimes need locksets supplied and keyed, a simple master key system set up, or turnover rekeying between tenants. Those jobs overlap with lockout work, because a lost key or unreturned set of keys at a commercial or multi-unit property is a good reason to rekey right away.

Whether you run a restaurant that gets busy during the annual Camellia Festival, an office near Lower Azusa Road, or a business a short walk from Temple City Park or Live Oak Park, you can reach us at (323) 997-8867 at any hour. We're mobile only, so there's no shop to drive to. We come to your door.

Business Lockout in Temple City — FAQs

Do you offer business lockout service in Temple City at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe your door and lock.
Will you damage my storefront door getting in?
We try to avoid it. Picking and bypass methods come first, and drilling is only a last resort for a damaged or very resistant lock. We'll tell you before drilling and discuss replacement options.
Do I need to prove I'm allowed into the building?
Yes. For a commercial door, we need reasonable assurance that you're the owner, manager or tenant. This protects the business and its property from unauthorized entry.
Can you rekey the locks after I get back in?
Yes. If a key was lost or an employee left, we can rekey the cylinders so old keys no longer work. This is often done right after the lockout is resolved.
Can you help with a lockout at a Las Tunas Drive restaurant or shop?
Yes. We work on storefront doors, back doors, deadbolts and commercial hardware. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us whether it's a glass door, steel door or other type.
How much does a business lockout cost?
It depends on the time of day, lock type, door condition and whether repair or replacement is needed. We don't quote numbers here, but we explain what affects the cost when you call.
Do you help property managers with new townhomes or apartment units in Temple City?
Yes. We can supply and key new locksets, set up a simple master key system and rekey units between tenants. It's a common need with the new multi-unit buildings in the area.
Do I have to come to your shop for new keys?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront to visit. We bring the work to your location in Temple City.
