A business lock problem rarely waits for a convenient time. A storefront cylinder jams before opening, an employee leaves and keys are unaccounted for, or a back-door deadbolt fails after a break-in attempt. In West Covina, where retail, medical offices, apartment properties and light industrial space sit close together, those problems come in many forms. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our commercial work comes from that long experience.

We are a fully mobile locksmith. There is no storefront to visit; our technician drives to your site in a equipped vehicle and does the work on location. That suits businesses well, because you do not have to leave the premises unsecured or shuttle doors and hardware around. We are available 24 hours a day, every day, including nights and holidays, when many commercial emergencies happen.

Our commercial work covers lockouts, rekeying, master key systems, panic and exit hardware, storefront and glass-door locks, high-security cylinders, and electronic access control. David Shar, our owner and lead technician, has built the business on explaining your options plainly and recommending only what your door and your risk actually call for.

How it works in West Covina

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what happened: a lockout, a failed lock, a staff change or a security upgrade. Tell us the type of door and building, and whether it is an emergency, so we can bring the right hardware.

  2. 2

    Confirm access and authority

    Before opening or changing anything, we need to know you are authorized to do so, as the owner, manager or property representative. This protects you and the building's other occupants.

  3. 3

    Assess the door and hardware

    On arrival we inspect the door, frame, cylinder and any exit device or closer. Many commercial lock complaints trace to alignment or wear rather than the lock itself, so we check before replacing parts.

  4. 4

    Do the work on site

    We open, rekey, repair or install as needed, using non-destructive methods whenever the door allows. For rekeys, we reset cylinders so old keys no longer work and cut new ones on the spot.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We test every lock repeatedly, confirm the door latches properly and any panic hardware releases, and give you keys. If you have a key system, we can note the hierarchy so future additions are straightforward.

  6. 6

    Talk through next steps

    If we see weak points, such as an unprotected strike plate or an aging deadbolt, we point them out and let you decide. There is no pressure to approve anything beyond the original job.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: opening a locked door, rekeying existing cylinders, repairing hardware and installing new locks are all different jobs with different labor and parts.
  • The hardware involved: standard cylinders, high-security cylinders, mortise locks, panic bars and electronic access devices vary widely in cost.
  • The number of doors or cylinders: rekeying a single office is a different scope than a multi-door retail space or a whole apartment complex.
  • Time of day: after-hours, weekend and holiday calls involve different scheduling than planned daytime work.
  • Key system complexity: master key or restricted-keyway systems require planning and extra cutting compared to simple keyed-alike setups.
  • Condition of doors and frames: warped, damaged or poorly aligned doors may need additional repair for new hardware to work properly.

Why West Covina chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a business can get help at 3 a.m. after a break-in or before the morning opening.
  • In business since 1987, with commercial experience across retail, offices, warehouses and multi-unit properties.
  • Owner-led: David Shar is directly involved, so you are dealing with someone accountable for the work.
  • We try non-destructive entry first, which preserves doors, frames and hardware where possible.
  • We explain options in plain language and do not push upgrades you do not need.
  • We verify authorization before opening or rekeying, which protects property owners and tenants alike.

Commercial Locksmith across West Covina

West Covina's commercial landscape is varied. Around the Eastland / Plaza commercial district, retail tenants at Plaza West Covina and Eastland Center rely on storefront cylinders, back-of-house doors and exit hardware that take daily wear. Cylinder service, lockouts and rekeys after staff turnover are typical requests in this area, and we handle them on site so a shop is not left exposed.

Away from the retail core, the city's apartment complexes off Azusa Ave and Amar Rd generate steady turnover rekeys, mailroom and gate hardware work, and common-area door repairs for property managers. Near Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital, medical and professional offices often need controlled access, file-room locks and after-hours security that tenants can manage. Businesses along Vincent Ave, Glendora Ave, Sunset Ave and Francisquito Ave, in ZIP codes such as 91790 and 91791, also call for routine office and warehouse lock service.

Because we are mobile, we can reach businesses along both the I-10 and SR-60 corridors, including sites in 91792 and 91793. We also do residential-grade high-security deadbolt and rekey work in the South Hills and Woodside Village for owners who run home offices or want matching keys across property and business.

Do you have a shop I can visit in West Covina?
No. We are mobile only, with no storefront. Our technician brings tools, cylinders and key-cutting equipment to your location.
Can you rekey my store after an employee leaves?
Yes. Rekeying resets the cylinders so old keys stop working, usually without replacing the locks. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss how many doors you have.
Can you help if I am locked out of a retail space at Plaza West Covina or Eastland Center?
We can help with commercial lockouts, though you must be an authorized tenant or representative. Mall and center rules may also apply, so it helps to mention your location when you call.
Do you handle apartment complex turnover rekeys?
Yes. Property managers in West Covina use us for unit rekeys between tenants, along with common-area door and gate hardware. Tell us the number of units and we will plan accordingly.
Can you install panic bars and exit hardware?
Yes. We install and repair panic bars and other exit devices, and we test that they release properly. Compliance requirements vary by building, so confirm any specific code needs with your property or local authority.
What factors affect the price of commercial lock work?
The type of work, hardware, number of doors, time of day and the condition of the door all matter. We explain the scope before starting; call (323) 997-8867 to talk through your situation.
Do you set up master key systems?
Yes. A master key system lets different staff open different doors while a manager holds broader access. We plan the hierarchy with you so it fits how your business operates.
