A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient moment. Maybe the opening manager's key snapped in the cylinder, a tenant's office door latched behind a cleaning crew, or a panic bar failed after a long weekend. In Thousand Oaks, where retail, medical, biotech and professional offices are spread along Thousand Oaks Blvd, Moorpark Rd and the business parks near the US-101, a locked door can stall staff, deliveries and customers quickly.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, under owner and lead technician David Shar. We are 24/7 and fully mobile, which means there is no shop to drive to. We bring the tools and the know-how to your door, whether that is a glass storefront with a mortise lock, a steel back door, or an interior suite door in a multi-tenant building.

Our goal in a commercial lockout is simple: get you in with as little damage as possible, confirm the lock still works properly, and help you decide whether anything should be repaired, rekeyed or upgraded so the same problem does not repeat. If a door or lock is beyond saving, we can talk through replacement options on the spot.

How it works in Thousand Oaks

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Reach us at (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the address, the type of door (glass storefront, steel service door, suite door, gate), and the kind of lock if you know it. That helps us bring the right tools for your building.

  2. 2

    Confirm you are authorized

    Before we open a commercial space, we need to be reasonably sure the person asking has the right to enter. A manager, owner, or tenant with a lease, ID or other proof of association with the business helps keep your property protected.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the hardware: deadbolt, mortise lock, panic device, electronic reader or keypad. We choose the least destructive method, aiming to open the door without drilling or damage whenever the hardware allows.

  4. 4

    Open the door and test it

    Once you are in, we check that the lock cycles smoothly, the latch catches, and the door closes properly. A lockout often reveals a worn cylinder or misaligned strike, and it is better to find that now than at closing time.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace if needed

    If a key broke, an employee left, or a lock was damaged, we can extract the key, rekey the cylinder, repair the hardware or install new locks. You decide what makes sense; there is no obligation to do more than get back inside.

  6. 6

    Secure the building before we go

    We make sure the entrance is locked and working before leaving, and we can provide fresh keys so you are not left with a door that only works on a good day.

What affects the price

  • The type of lock and door: a standard deadbolt on a back door is a different job than a high-security cylinder, mortise lock or commercial panic hardware.
  • Whether the door can be opened without damage or the lock must be drilled, repaired or replaced to restore access.
  • Time of day, since after-hours, weekend and holiday calls involve different availability than a daytime visit.
  • Your location within Thousand Oaks and the surrounding Conejo Valley, which affects travel for our mobile service.
  • Any follow-up work you choose, such as rekeying, extra keys, master-key changes, or upgrading to access control.
  • Whether electronic components like keypads, card readers or magnetic locks are involved and need troubleshooting.

Why Thousand Oaks chooses us

  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, so we have seen most commercial lock setups, including older hardware that is no longer common.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7; we come to your business rather than asking you to go anywhere.
  • Non-destructive entry is our first approach, which matters on glass storefronts and finished office doors.
  • We can handle the lockout and the follow-up in one visit, including rekeying, key replacement and basic hardware repair.
  • Owner-led: David Shar leads the work, so there is a single standard of care behind each job.
  • Straightforward explanations of what the lock needs, without pushing upgrades you do not need.

Business Lockout across Thousand Oaks

Thousand Oaks businesses come in many forms. Retail around The Oaks mall and along Thousand Oaks Blvd, offices near the Civic Arts Plaza, and large office and biotech parks, including those tied to the Amgen campus, all use different door hardware. Multi-suite office buildings in the Rancho Conejo Blvd and Thousand Oaks Blvd business park areas often rely on master-key systems, which add a layer of complexity when a tenant is locked out or a key goes missing. We are used to working with that kind of setup.

We also work throughout the neighborhoods that feed the city's small businesses and home offices. Newbury Park (ZIP 91320 and 91362 areas) has shopping centers and service businesses off Moorpark Rd and Borchard Rd, while North Ranch and Dos Vientos Ranch include professional offices and homes with gate and intercom systems. If your lockout involves an electronic gate or keypad as well as a door, tell us when you call.

Whether you are near California Lutheran University, along Hampshire Rd or Lynn Rd in the Lynn Ranch area, or off the US-101 or SR-23 corridors in ZIP 91360, call (323) 997-8867. We are mobile only, with no storefront to visit, so we come directly to your location in Thousand Oaks.

Business Lockout in Thousand Oaks — FAQs

Do you offer business lockout service in Thousand Oaks at night and on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through your situation and get to you.
Will you damage my door or lock to get me in?
We try to avoid it. Our first approach is non-destructive entry, which is especially important for glass storefronts and finished office doors. If a lock is damaged or too worn to open cleanly, we will explain the options before doing anything more invasive.
How do I prove I am allowed to open the business?
We ask for reasonable verification that you are the owner, manager or an authorized tenant. ID and something connecting you to the business or the lease usually works. This protects you and your neighbors from unauthorized entry.
Can you help if my office is part of a master-key system?
Yes. Many Thousand Oaks office and business parks use master-key systems. We can open your suite, and if keys have been lost we can discuss rekeying or adjusting the system with the property manager's approval.
What if the lock still does not work properly after you get me in?
We test the lock before we leave. If it needs repair, a rekey or replacement, we can do that during the same visit, or you can choose to deal with it later. Call (323) 997-8867 if you have questions about next steps.
How much does a business lockout cost?
It depends on the lock and door type, whether entry can be non-destructive, time of day, your location, and any follow-up work you request. We can discuss what applies to your situation when you call (323) 997-8867.
Do you have a shop I can visit in Thousand Oaks?
No. We are a mobile-only locksmith, so there is no storefront. We travel to your business anywhere in Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park and the surrounding areas.
Can you deal with keypads, card readers or electronic locks?
We can often troubleshoot and open doors with electronic components, and help with replacing or upgrading hardware. Describe the system when you call so we can prepare.
