Temple City is a quiet, mostly residential city, but its commercial side has real variety. Las Tunas Drive is a walkable corridor of small shops, restaurants and offices in storefronts built across many decades, and the rest of the city is steadily adding townhomes, small apartment buildings and rebuilt single-family homes. Each of those needs locks that match how the property is actually used, and that is the work a commercial locksmith does.

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, so there is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools, key-cutting capability and hardware to your door, whether that is a restaurant that cannot open, an office that needs a new key plan after a staffing change, or a property manager flipping a unit between tenants.

Commercial work differs from residential work. Doors may be aluminum storefront, hollow metal, or old wood in a converted building. Several people may need access at different levels. Insurance, tenants and employees all have a stake in who holds a key. We try to explain your options plainly, recommend what fits the building and your budget, and avoid selling hardware you do not need.

How it works in Temple City

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the type of business, the type of door or lock if you know it, and whether this is a lockout, a rekey, or a new installation. That helps us bring the right hardware and cylinders.

  2. 2

    Verify authority and assess the door

    For a lockout we confirm you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant before opening anything. Then we look at the door, frame, lock type and condition, since storefront glass doors, steel doors and older wood doors each call for different methods.

  3. 3

    Open, repair or rekey

    We use non-destructive entry whenever possible to get you back in without damaging the door. If a lock is worn or broken, we repair or replace it. For a rekey, we change the internal pinning so old keys no longer work, usually without replacing the hardware.

  4. 4

    Design the key plan

    For offices, small developments and multi-unit buildings, we can set up a simple master key system where one key opens many doors while individual keys open only their own. We talk through who needs access to what before cutting anything.

  5. 5

    Test, cut keys and hand over

    We test every lock several times from both sides, cut and label the keys, and show you how everything operates. You leave knowing exactly how many keys exist and which ones work.

What affects the price

  • Whether the job is an emergency lockout, a scheduled rekey or a new installation, since after-hours calls take different scheduling than planned work.
  • The number of cylinders or doors involved, which affects how much time and how many parts the job requires.
  • Door and lock type, such as storefront aluminum, hollow metal, or older wood, and whether the hardware is standard or high-security.
  • Whether you need repair or replacement of damaged hardware versus a straightforward rekey of what is already installed.
  • The complexity of the key plan, such as a master key system with multiple levels versus one key for a single door.
  • The number of keys to be cut and whether restricted or controlled key blanks are requested.

Why Temple City chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a stuck restaurant or shop is not waiting on business hours or a storefront to open.
  • Operating since 1987 under owner David Shar, which means decades of experience with mixed-age commercial buildings like those along Las Tunas Drive.
  • Rekey-first thinking: when existing hardware is sound, we rekey it instead of replacing it, which suits property managers handling tenant turnover.
  • Master key planning for small developments such as new townhome projects, built around how your property will actually be run.
  • Clear explanations of options before work begins, with no pressure toward hardware your building does not need.

Commercial Locksmith across Temple City

Temple City's commercial life centers on Downtown Las Tunas Drive, where shops, restaurants and service businesses sit close together in storefronts of varying age. A restaurant owner locked out after closing or a retailer who just lost an employee with keys is a common call, and we handle both in the 91780 area, from the Las Tunas business district out toward Rosemead Blvd (SR-19) and Baldwin Ave.

Beyond the storefronts, the city is changing. Mission View Acres and the Camellia area are mostly 1950s and 1960s single-story ranch and stucco homes, and teardown-rebuilds and new townhomes are appearing among them. Builders and owners of those projects often need new locksets supplied and keyed, sometimes with a simple master key. Property managers with older ranch homes or small apartment buildings also call us for turnover rekeys between tenants.

Whether you are near Temple City Park, Live Oak Park, or along Lower Azusa Rd and Temple City Blvd, we come to you. During busy community moments like the Camellia Festival, businesses on Las Tunas often want their locks in good order, and we are available around the clock.

Commercial Locksmith in Temple City — FAQs

Do you offer commercial locksmith service in Temple City 24/7?
Yes. We are a fully mobile locksmith available 24 hours a day, every day. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe your situation. We do not have a storefront, since we come to your business.
I am locked out of my Las Tunas Drive shop. What happens?
We confirm you are authorized to access the space, assess the door, and use non-destructive entry when possible. If a lock is damaged, we can repair or replace it so you can secure the shop before leaving.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing locks?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while keeping the existing hardware. Replacing swaps the hardware itself. Rekeying is often enough when locks are in good shape, such as after an employee leaves or a tenant moves out.
Can you set up a master key system for a small townhome or office project?
Yes. We can design a simple master key system so one key opens multiple doors while each door still has its own key. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk through how many levels of access you need.
Do you handle tenant turnover rekeys for property managers?
Yes. Rekeying units between tenants, whether an older ranch home or an apartment, is routine work for us. It ensures previous tenants' keys no longer work, and we can keep units on a consistent key plan.
Will you damage my door to get me in?
We aim for non-destructive entry first. Some situations, like a broken lock or a damaged frame, may require other approaches, and we explain that before proceeding.
Can you supply and key new locksets for a rebuilt home or new development?
Yes. We can supply locksets and key them to your plan, including matching keys across doors or a basic master system. Call us at (323) 997-8867 to discuss your project.
How is commercial pricing determined?
It depends on factors such as the type of service, number of doors or cylinders, door and lock type, and key plan complexity. We explain what applies to your job once we understand it.
