A business lockout rarely happens at a convenient time. Maybe the opener's key snapped in the front door on Platt Avenue, a manager left the keys inside a locked office suite off Sherman Way, or a deadbolt seized up just before a shift. Whatever the cause, a locked door means lost hours, waiting staff and a building that may be unsecured. We are a fully mobile locksmith, so we come to your location at any hour. There is no storefront to visit.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around the idea that commercial customers need a clear answer and a clean result. In West Hills, commercial space tends to be a mix of small retail strips, medical and professional offices, school and service facilities, and home-based or light-commercial units. Each has different hardware, and a good locksmith has to recognize that quickly.

Our goal during a lockout is to get you in with as little damage as the situation allows, then make sure the building is secure when we leave. If a lock is worn out, broken or has lost keys behind it, we can repair, rekey or replace it in the same visit so you aren't left with a door that fails again next week.

How it works in West Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night. Tell us what kind of door it is (glass storefront, steel back door, office suite, roll-up or gate), what lock you see, and whether anyone or anything is inside. That helps us bring the right tools and parts.

  2. 2

    Confirm you're authorized

    Before we open a commercial door, we ask you to show you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. It protects you and your neighbors, and it's a normal part of legitimate locksmith work.

  3. 3

    Assess the lock and door

    On arrival we look at the lock type, the door material and its condition. Many lockouts can be solved without damaging anything by picking, bypassing or using specialty entry tools. The hardware tells us which method is least invasive.

  4. 4

    Open the door with the least damage possible

    We use non-destructive entry first. If a lock is broken, jammed or corroded, drilling or extraction may be the only reasonable option, and we explain that before we do it so there are no surprises.

  5. 5

    Repair, rekey or replace as needed

    Once you're in, we can fix a failing cylinder, rekey locks if keys are lost or an employee has left, or install a new commercial deadbolt or panic hardware. You choose what happens next.

  6. 6

    Test and secure the property

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

What affects the price

  • The type of lock and door: a standard keyed deadbolt differs from a high-security cylinder, a storefront aluminum door or a commercial exit device.
  • Whether non-destructive entry works, or the lock has to be drilled, extracted or the hardware replaced.
  • What happens after entry: simple opening only, or rekeying, repair, replacement hardware or new keys.
  • The time of day and day of the week, since we work around the clock including nights, weekends and holidays.
  • Your location and how accessible the door is, such as a hillside site, a gated lot or an interior suite.
  • The number of locks involved, for example one front door versus several doors needing to be rekeyed to match.

Why West Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a lockout at 2 a.m. gets the same attention as one at noon.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, which means experience across decades of lock hardware.
  • We try non-destructive entry first and explain it clearly when drilling or replacement is the only sensible choice.
  • We can handle everything from the lockout to rekeying, repair and new commercial hardware in one visit.
  • We understand the West Hills mix of older tract-era buildings, small offices and newer gated developments, and the hardware that comes with each.
  • We describe the work and what affects the cost up front, with no pressure and no invented promises.

Business Lockout across West Hills

West Hills sits at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, and its commercial life follows the main roads: Platt Avenue and the Platt Village corridor, Sherman Way, Vanowen Street, Victory Boulevard, Roscoe Boulevard, Saticoy Street, Fallbrook Avenue and Woodlake Avenue. Businesses along these streets, mostly in the 91307 and 91304 ZIP codes, range from small shops and offices to medical and professional suites near West Hills Hospital & Medical Center. We work across all of it.

Because the community was part of Owensmouth and Canoga Park before being named West Hills in 1987, much of the building stock is from the 1960s through the 1980s. Older commercial hardware in that era, including Kwikset and Schlage cylinders, tends to wear out, stick or break keys as it ages. That's a common reason for lockouts here, and often a good moment to replace a tired lock instead of just opening it.

Further toward the hills, around Valley Circle Boulevard, the Bell Canyon edge and ZIP 91307 and 91308, you find gated developments, hillside properties and home-based businesses with gate locks and call boxes. Near places like Shadow Ranch Park, Orcutt Ranch, Chaminade College Preparatory and the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve, access can be quiet and winding, and that is exactly where a mobile locksmith helps. Call (323) 997-8867 and we'll come to you.
