Torrance is not a single kind of commercial city. It has the huge retail draw of Del Amo Fashion Center, the historic brick storefronts along El Prado in Old Torrance, strip centers on Hawthorne, Crenshaw and Sepulveda, and large industrial zones near the airport and the freeways. Each of these asks something different of a lock, and a commercial locksmith who treats them all the same will leave you with the wrong hardware.

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. There is no storefront to visit; we bring tools, cylinders, key-cutting capability and hardware to your door, which matters when a business cannot close up until a lock is fixed.

Our commercial work in Torrance covers emergency lockouts, rekeying after staff changes, master-key and restricted-keyway systems, aluminum-storefront cylinders, door closers, panic and exit hardware, and securing a property after a break-in attempt. We answer around the clock, because commercial problems tend to show up at closing time, overnight, or on the morning of a delivery.

How it works in Torrance

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of building and door you have: glass storefront, steel back door, roll-up, or office suite. Whether it is an emergency or a scheduled job, details like the door type and the lock brand help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    Confirm authority and assess the site

    Before opening or changing anything, we confirm that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. On arrival we inspect the door, frame, cylinder, closer and any exit hardware to find the real cause, not just the symptom.

  3. 3

    Entry or repair with minimal damage

    For lockouts we use non-destructive methods first so doors, frames and storefront glass stay intact. If hardware has failed, we repair it or replace the failed component rather than the whole assembly when that is sound.

  4. 4

    Rekey, upgrade or build the key system

    We can rekey to remove old keys, set up keyed-alike or master-key schemes by department or tenant, and recommend restricted keyways where key control matters. We explain the tradeoffs so you pick what fits your staffing.

  5. 5

    Test, label and hand over

    We test every lock, closer and exit device through full operation, confirm doors latch and release as required, and give you working keys. We note what was done so your records stay clear.

What affects the price

  • The type of door and hardware involved, such as an aluminum storefront mortise cylinder, a standard commercial deadbolt, or a panic device
  • Whether the work is an emergency lockout or a scheduled visit, and the time of day it is needed
  • The number of cylinders, doors or keys, especially for master-key and keyed-alike systems
  • Whether parts can be repaired or must be replaced, including closers and exit hardware
  • Restricted or high-security keyways and the key control that comes with them
  • Condition of the existing door and frame, and any security repair needed after attempted forced entry

Why Torrance chooses us

  • Fully mobile, so we work at your site rather than asking you to bring anything to a shop
  • Available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, for businesses that cannot wait until morning
  • In business since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, personally leading the work
  • Comfortable with both old and new: 1920s mortise hardware on El Prado and modern aluminum-storefront and panic hardware in retail centers
  • We explain options and tradeoffs plainly and fix what is broken instead of pushing a full replacement
  • Non-destructive entry is our first approach, to protect your doors, frames and glass

Commercial Locksmith across Torrance

Torrance businesses span a wide range. In Old Torrance, historic brick commercial buildings along El Prado often have older mortise locks and wood or steel doors that deserve careful repair rather than wholesale replacement, and we work to keep a building's character while bringing its security up to date. Around Del Amo Fashion Center and the Hawthorne Blvd and Carson corridors, retail tenants rely on aluminum-storefront cylinders, closers and panic hardware, much of which needs service after hours when stores are closed.

The industrial and office areas near Torrance Municipal Airport (Zamperini Field), along Crenshaw Blvd, Sepulveda Blvd and Torrance Blvd, and near the I-405 and I-110 freeways need different solutions: steel doors, gates, shared-tenant key systems and controlled access for staff and deliveries. We regularly see the need for rekeying after turnover and for keyed-alike setups across multiple doors.

We serve all Torrance ZIP codes, including 90501 near downtown and Old Torrance, 90503 and 90505 across West Torrance and Southwood, 90504 to the north and 90502 around Walteria. We also reach businesses near Hollywood Riviera and the Pacific Coast Hwy. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Commercial Locksmith in Torrance — FAQs

Do you offer commercial locksmith service in Torrance at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour for a lockout, a broken lock or a security issue at your business.
Can you service storefront locks at Del Amo or nearby retail centers?
Yes. We work on aluminum-storefront mortise cylinders, door closers and panic hardware, including after store hours. Please make sure the tenant or property manager authorizes the work.
Can you set up a master-key system for my Torrance business?
Yes. We design master-key and keyed-alike systems around your doors and staff roles, and can recommend restricted keyways for tighter key control. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your layout.
We just had an employee leave. Should we rekey?
Usually yes, if that person had keys. Rekeying makes old keys useless without replacing all your hardware, and it is often the most economical way to restore control.
Do you work on older buildings in Old Torrance?
Yes. We repair and service older mortise hardware and can discreetly add modern security to historic doors where appropriate, so the building's character is preserved.
What can affect the price of commercial lock service?
The door and hardware type, the number of locks and keys, the timing of the call, whether parts can be repaired or need replacement, and the keyway security level all matter. We explain the factors before work begins.
Do you have a shop in Torrance I can visit?
No. We are mobile only and come to your business, which saves you travel and downtime.
Do you verify who I am before opening a business door?
Yes. We confirm that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant before opening or rekeying anything, which protects your property and ours.
