A commercial door works harder than almost anything else in a building. It opens hundreds of times a day, gets slammed by wind and carts, and is expected to lock reliably every night. In Burbank, that covers everything from aluminum-storefront shops along Olive Ave and San Fernando Blvd to production offices in the Media District and older buildings on Magnolia Boulevard's antique row. When the hardware starts to fail, the problems are usually familiar: a sticky latch, a dropping closer, a panic device that will not retract, or a lock that no longer lines up with its strike.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around mobile service. We have no storefront for you to visit. Our work is done at your door, which matters for commercial hardware because the real cause of a problem is often in the frame, the alignment or the way the door hangs, and you can only see that on site.

Our commercial door hardware work covers repair and replacement of storefront hardware, aluminum-frame door hardware and mortise locksets. Sometimes a worn part can be rebuilt or adjusted and sometimes it is smarter to replace it. We tell you which is which and why, so you can decide based on how the door is used, how secure it needs to be and how long you want the fix to last.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe what is happening: the type of door (glass storefront, aluminum frame, wood with a mortise lock), the symptoms, and whether the building is currently secure. If it is not, we treat that as the priority, since we are available 24/7.

  2. 2

    On-site inspection

    We examine the whole door assembly, not only the lock. That includes the latch and strike, hinges or pivots, closer, threshold, frame alignment and any panic or exit hardware. Many 'lock problems' turn out to be alignment or wear problems.

  3. 3

    Repair or replace, explained plainly

    We lay out the options. A mortise case may be serviceable, or a storefront lock may be beyond saving. You hear what each choice involves and what it means for security and longevity before work begins.

  4. 4

    Fit and adjust the hardware

    We install or repair the hardware so it works smoothly with the door, working with the narrow stiles of aluminum storefronts and the deep pockets of mortise doors. We adjust the strike, closer and latch so the door closes and locks without force.

  5. 5

    Rekey and key control if needed

    If staff have changed or keys have gone missing, we can rekey the new hardware and discuss master-key or restricted-key arrangements so you know who holds access.

  6. 6

    Test and walk through

    We cycle the door repeatedly, test the lock from both sides, check emergency egress where applicable and show you anything you should watch for, such as a closer that may need seasonal adjustment.

What affects the price

  • The type of door and frame: aluminum storefront, hollow metal and wood doors each call for different hardware and installation methods.
  • Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or rebuilt, or must be replaced entirely.
  • The grade and brand of the hardware chosen, including heavy-duty mortise sets, panic devices and closers.
  • Whether the frame, strike or door needs alignment work in addition to the hardware itself.
  • The number of doors and the amount of rekeying or master-keying involved.
  • Timing and access, such as an after-hours or emergency call versus a scheduled visit.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your door, so we can diagnose frame and alignment issues directly instead of guessing from a description.
  • Experience since 1987 with older mortise hardware as well as current storefront and aluminum-frame systems.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a door will not lock and a business has to be secured overnight.
  • We look at the entire door assembly and tell you honestly when a repair will do and when replacement makes more sense.
  • Owner-led operation under David Shar, with straightforward explanations rather than pressure to replace more than necessary.
  • We handle the rekeying and key-control side as well, so hardware and access control are sorted in the same visit when possible.

Commercial Door Hardware across Burbank

Burbank's commercial doors vary a lot. In the Media District, production offices and aluminum-storefront strips near the studios see heavy foot traffic and frequent staff changes, which is where rekeying, master-key planning and dependable closers earn their keep. Around Warner Bros. Studios and Walt Disney Studios, the surrounding businesses often have security expectations that go beyond a basic storefront lock, and we plan hardware with that in mind.

Magnolia Park is a different story. Its older commercial buildings and the shops along Magnolia Boulevard's antique row often have original or long-serving mortise hardware, and many nearby 1920s to 1940s bungalows still carry period locks. We repair and rekey mortise sets where we can, and add modern security without needlessly altering vintage doors. Businesses in ZIP 91505 and 91506 near Hollywood Way and Olive Ave are a common part of our work, as are those in 91502 and 91504.

Equestrian properties in the Rancho District need tough, weather-resistant gate and padlock hardware, and we also serve business owners near Hollywood Burbank Airport, IKEA Burbank and Downtown Burbank. With I-5, SR-134, Victory Blvd and San Fernando Blvd running through the city, our mobile service reaches most Burbank doors without you needing to go anywhere. Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.

Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door, and we will help you get it secured and working.
Can you work on aluminum-frame storefront doors?
Yes. Aluminum storefront doors have narrow stiles and specific lock and latch types, and we repair and replace hardware on them, including locks, closers, pivots and strikes.
My mortise lock is old. Can it be saved?
Often it can. Many mortise cases can be serviced, rekeyed or fitted with new trim. If the case is badly worn or parts are unavailable, we will explain replacement options plainly.
Do you have a shop I can bring hardware to?
No. We are mobile only and come to your Burbank location, which lets us inspect the whole door and frame in place.
We had staff turnover. Can you rekey our office?
Yes. We can rekey existing locks or install new hardware and discuss master-key or restricted-key options. Call (323) 997-8867 to talk through how many doors are involved.
How do you decide between repair and replacement?
We check wear, alignment and security needs. If a repair will hold up and meet your needs, we say so. If the hardware is failing or inadequate for the door's use, we recommend replacing it and explain why.
Do you work on doors near the Burbank studios?
Yes. We serve businesses throughout Burbank, including the Media District and the areas around the major studios, and can discuss higher-security hardware and access needs.
How is the price determined?
It depends on the door type, whether hardware can be repaired or must be replaced, the grade of hardware, any frame work, the number of doors and the timing. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your situation.
