A commercial door works harder than almost anything else in a building. On a busy stretch like Van Nuys Boulevard, a storefront door can open and close hundreds of times a day, and the hardware shows it. Latches drag, thumb turns loosen, closers slam or stall, and a lock that once turned smoothly starts to need a jiggle. Eventually the door will not secure at closing time, and that is when a small repair turns into an urgent one.

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, which means there is no storefront to visit. We bring tools and hardware to your Arleta shop, office, or small commercial property and work on the door where it hangs. We repair and replace storefront hardware, aluminum-frame door hardware, and mortise lock sets, which are the three types you are most likely to find in neighborhood commercial buildings.

Arleta's commercial areas are mostly small, owner-run properties: shops, service businesses, and offices along the arterials and in the strip centers between the residential tracts. These buildings often have older aluminum storefront doors, narrow stile frames, and hardware that has been patched over the years. Our approach is to look at what you actually have, repair it when repair makes sense, and replace it when it does not, and to explain the difference plainly.

How it works in Arleta

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what type of door it is (glass storefront, aluminum frame, or a solid door with a mortise lock) and what is going wrong. Whether it will not latch, will not lock, or will not open, the details help us bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    We come to you

    We are fully mobile and work 24/7, so we travel to your Arleta location instead of asking you to bring anything in. If the door cannot be secured, we treat that as the priority.

  3. 3

    Inspect the door, frame and hardware

    We check the lock body, cylinder, latch, strike, hinges, pivots, and closer. On aluminum and storefront doors, a lot of what looks like a bad lock is really a sagging door, a misaligned strike, or a worn pivot, so we find the real cause first.

  4. 4

    Repair or replace, with options explained

    If the hardware can be repaired reliably, we do that. If a mortise body is worn out, a storefront latch is failing, or parts are no longer made, we explain the replacement choices and why we suggest them before any work begins.

  5. 5

    Install, align and test

    We fit the new or repaired hardware, align the latch and strike, and test the door through repeated cycles, locked and unlocked, from both sides. We also test with the closer if one is installed.

  6. 6

    Rekey and hand over keys

    If staff have changed or keys have gone missing, we can rekey the cylinders as part of the visit so the old keys stop working. You leave with a door that closes, latches, and locks the way it should.

What affects the price

  • The type of door: glass storefront, narrow-stile aluminum, and mortise-lock doors each use different hardware and take different labor.
  • Repair versus replacement: adjusting or rebuilding existing hardware usually costs differently than installing a new lock body or latch set.
  • Hardware grade and brand: heavier commercial-grade hardware costs more than light-duty parts, and some older mortise or storefront parts take longer to source.
  • The condition of the door and frame: a sagging door, bent frame, or worn pivots can add work beyond the lock itself.
  • Number of doors and cylinders: several doors, rekeying, or keying locks alike affects the total.
  • Time of the call: after-hours and emergency work may be priced differently from a scheduled daytime visit.

Why Arleta chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a door that will not lock at night can be handled without waiting for a shop to open.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so the experience behind storefront and mortise work is long-standing.
  • We diagnose the whole door, not just the lock, since alignment, pivots, and closers cause many hardware complaints.
  • We will tell you when a repair is enough instead of pushing a full replacement.
  • We work with the older aluminum-frame and mortise setups common in established commercial buildings, not only new hardware.
  • Rekeying and keying alike can be done on the same visit, which helps small businesses with staff turnover.

Commercial Door Hardware across Arleta

Arleta's business life runs along a few clear lines. The Van Nuys Boulevard corridor holds many of the small shops and service businesses, and the Woodman Avenue and Osborne Street commercial strip, around the Osborne Street and Woodman Avenue intersection, is another cluster of storefronts and offices. Many of these buildings date from the same postwar growth that produced the neighborhood's tract housing, which means older aluminum storefronts and aging hardware are common, and so are doors that have been repaired more than once.

We work throughout ZIP code 91331, including the Branford Park district near Branford Recreation Center and Park, where small commercial and mixed-use properties sit close to residential streets such as Branford Street. Businesses near Arleta High School and along the main arterials often need hardware that stands up to constant daily use and sometimes to attempted forced entry, so we look closely at strike plates, jambs, and frame condition as well as the lock itself.

Because we are mobile only, there is no shop to drive to. Whether you run a business on Van Nuys Boulevard, along the Woodman and Osborne strip, or near Branford Park, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to the door.

Commercial Door Hardware in Arleta — FAQs

What kinds of commercial door hardware do you repair in Arleta?
We repair and replace storefront hardware, aluminum-frame door hardware, and mortise lock sets, including latches, cylinders, handles, pull sets, strikes, and related parts. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
My storefront door will not lock at night. Can you come out after hours?
Yes. We are a 24/7 mobile locksmith, so you can call (323) 997-8867 at any hour and we will work to get the door secured.
Do I need a new lock or can the existing one be repaired?
Often the existing hardware can be adjusted or rebuilt. We inspect the lock, latch, strike, hinges, and frame first, and if replacement is the better option we explain why before starting.
Why does my aluminum door stick or fail to latch?
The cause is frequently a sagging door, worn pivots, or a misaligned strike rather than a bad lock. We check alignment and the closer as part of every inspection.
Can you rekey the locks on my business at the same time?
Yes. If an employee left or keys were lost, we can rekey the cylinders during the same visit, and key multiple locks alike if you want one key. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange it.
Do you have a shop in Arleta I can visit?
No. We are fully mobile only, so we come to your business and do the work on-site.
How much does commercial door hardware repair cost?
It depends on the door type, whether we repair or replace, the grade of hardware, the condition of the frame, the number of doors, and the time of day. We explain the options before work begins.
Do you serve businesses near Van Nuys Boulevard and Woodman Avenue?
Yes. We serve all of Arleta, including the Van Nuys Boulevard corridor, the Woodman and Osborne commercial strip, and the Branford Park area in ZIP 91331. Call (323) 997-8867.
