A panic bar is one of the few pieces of hardware where the door has two jobs at once: keep the wrong people out, and let everyone inside leave instantly in an emergency, with no key, no knob and no special knowledge. In Agoura Hills that matters for a wide mix of buildings, from aluminum-storefront retail along Agoura Road and Kanan Road to offices, studios, fitness spaces, restaurants and the common-area rooms of planned communities.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen nearly every way an exit device can go wrong: bars that stick, latches that no longer catch, trim that has been drilled and re-drilled, and doors that were fitted with the wrong device for the way the door is actually used. We are fully mobile, so we come to your door with the tools and hardware to evaluate it on site. There is no storefront to visit.

Whether you are outfitting a new tenant space, replacing a worn rim device on a back door, or fixing a bar that will not retract, the goal is the same: a door that locks securely when it should and opens freely from the inside every time. We will talk through what the door is used for, and we recommend hardware that fits the door and the way people use it rather than the most complicated option.

How it works in Agoura Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the type of door (aluminum storefront, hollow metal, wood), whether it is a single or double door, and what is wrong or what you want installed. Photos of the door and any existing hardware help us arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    On-site assessment

    We come to your location and look at the door, frame, hinges, closer and any existing device. A panic bar only works as well as the door it is mounted on, so we check for sagging, misalignment and frame damage before recommending anything.

  3. 3

    Choosing the right device

    We go over the options: rim devices, vertical rod devices for double doors, mortise-style units, and whether the outside needs a key cylinder, a lever trim or no trim at all. We explain the tradeoffs in plain language so you can decide.

  4. 4

    Installation or repair

    We mount the device, fit strikes and trim, and adjust the latch so it retracts smoothly with light pressure. For repairs, we service or replace worn parts, fix alignment and make sure the door closes and latches fully on its own.

  5. 5

    Testing and walkthrough

    We test the door repeatedly from the inside and outside, confirm the bar releases freely, and show you how any key or dogging feature works. We also point out upkeep to watch for, such as loose mounting screws or a closer that needs adjusting.

What affects the price

  • The type of device: a basic rim exit device differs in cost from a vertical rod unit for double doors or a heavier-duty model for high-traffic doors.
  • Door material and condition: aluminum storefront, hollow metal and wood doors need different mounting methods, and a door that is out of alignment may need adjustment first.
  • Single or double doors, and how many openings are being done in one visit.
  • Trim and keying choices, such as an outside lever, a key cylinder, or no exterior hardware at all, and whether the cylinder should match an existing key system.
  • Whether the job is a new installation, a repair of an existing device, or removal and replacement of worn or mismatched hardware.
  • Finish and grade requirements, which can depend on how heavily the door is used and what your property manager or landlord specifies.

Why Agoura Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, 24/7: we come to your door rather than asking you to bring anything to a shop, which suits a door that cannot be left unsecured.
  • Serving the region since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work and bringing decades of hands-on door hardware experience.
  • We look at the whole opening, including frame, hinges and closer, because a new bar on a sagging door will not solve the problem.
  • Straightforward recommendations: we explain which device fits the door and will tell you when a repair is enough instead of a full replacement.
  • Experience with both commercial storefronts and the common-area doors found in planned communities and multi-unit properties.
  • We test the door before we leave and walk you through how it operates so you are not guessing later.

Panic Bar Installation across Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills has a distinct mix of commercial and community buildings. Along Agoura Road and Kanan Road you find aluminum-storefront retail and office suites, where narrow stile doors call for exit devices that fit slim frames. Around Whizin's Market Square and the shopping and dining areas near the US-101 Ventura Freeway, busy back-of-house doors for restaurants and shops get heavy daily use, which wears latches and strikes faster than people expect.

Residential neighborhoods generate their own exit-hardware needs. Around Lake Lindero, townhome and condo communities often have clubhouse, fitness room, pool equipment and other common-area doors that benefit from reliable exit devices. Morrison Ranch and the surrounding 1970s and 80s planned communities have shared facilities and nearby offices and small businesses, and Old Agoura's equestrian properties sometimes include workshops, event barns and commercial-style outbuildings where an emergency exit makes sense.

We work throughout the city, including addresses in the 91301 ZIP code, and we are used to getting around via Kanan Road, Cornell Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard. Since we are mobile, you do not need to be near Ladyface Mountain or any particular corner of town. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Panic Bar Installation in Agoura Hills — FAQs

What is a panic bar and how is it different from a regular door lock?
A panic bar, also called an exit device, lets anyone leave by pushing a horizontal bar, with no key or twisting motion. A regular lock usually needs a hand to turn a knob or thumb latch. Panic bars are designed for fast, effortless exit in an emergency.
Can you install a panic bar on an aluminum storefront door?
Yes. Aluminum storefront doors are common along Agoura Road and Kanan Road, and they often have narrow stiles that need devices designed for them. We check the door profile on site and match the hardware to it.
Do you repair existing panic bars or only install new ones?
We do both. Many bars that stick, fail to latch or will not retract can be adjusted or have worn parts replaced. If the device or door is too worn, we will tell you honestly and explain replacement options. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe the problem.
Can the outside of the door still be locked if it has a panic bar?
Often yes. Depending on the device, the outside can have a key cylinder, a lever trim or no trim at all. The inside always releases freely for exit. We help you choose the configuration that fits how the door is used.
Do you handle double doors with panic hardware?
Yes. Double doors commonly use vertical rod devices or a pair of rim devices with a mullion. We assess the doors and frame so both leaves align and latch properly.
Are you available outside business hours for a door that will not secure?
Yes, we are 24/7 and fully mobile. If a broken exit device leaves your door unable to lock, call (323) 997-8867 at any hour and we will work out the best way to get it secured.
Do I need to be on-site when you do the work?
Someone with authority over the property should be there, or you can arrange access with us in advance. We confirm the details when you call, especially for tenant spaces and shared community facilities.
Will you work with my property manager or landlord requirements?
We can match finish, keying and device type to specifications from a landlord, property manager or HOA where you have them. Share the requirements when you call so we plan the right hardware.
