Burbank is a working city. Between the studio lots, the Media District offices, the shops along Magnolia Boulevard and the warehouses and light industrial buildings near the airport, there is a wide range of businesses here, and each one has different needs. A production office is worried about who still holds a key after a shoot wraps. A retailer on San Fernando Boulevard needs an aluminum storefront door that closes and latches properly every night. A stable owner in the Rancho District needs gate hardware that survives weather and daily use.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around commercial and residential work done properly. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools, key-cutting capability and hardware knowledge to your door, whether that is during business hours, after a break-in, or in the middle of the night.
This page explains how commercial locksmith work usually goes in Burbank, what affects the cost, and what to ask before hiring anyone. If you already know what you need, call (323) 997-8867 and describe the situation. If you are not sure, that is fine too. Part of the job is helping you figure out what is worth fixing now and what can wait.
How it works in Burbank
- 1
Tell us about the building and the problem
When you call, we ask what kind of business it is, what the doors and locks look like, and what happened. A lockout, a staff change, a failed deadbolt and a planned security upgrade each call for different preparation, so a few good questions up front help us arrive with the right parts.
- 2
Assess doors, frames and existing hardware
On site we look at more than the lock itself. A latch that will not catch is often a door alignment or frame issue, and aluminum storefront doors, hollow metal doors and wood doors all take different hardware. We tell you what we see, including when the problem is not the lock.
- 3
Recommend options in plain language
We lay out realistic choices, such as rekeying existing cylinders versus replacing them, or a simple keyed system versus a master key or electronic access setup. You decide what fits your budget and risk level, without pressure to buy more than you need.
- 4
Do the work on site
Rekeying, lock replacement, exit device repair, key cutting and master key system setup are handled at your location. Because we are mobile, work can be scheduled around your operations, and emergency calls such as after a break-in can be handled any hour.
- 5
Test everything and hand over keys
We test every lock and key, confirm doors latch and secure correctly, and document who holds which keys when a key system is involved. You leave with working hardware and a clear understanding of what was done.

What affects the price
- The type of work: a simple rekey is very different from installing new commercial-grade hardware or building a master key system with several levels.
- The number of doors and cylinders involved, since a single office door and a multi-suite production space are different in scope.
- Hardware grade and type, including high-security cylinders, panic and exit devices, and electronic or keypad access components.
- Door and frame condition, because aluminum storefront, hollow metal and older wood doors may need adjustment or additional parts to hold new hardware properly.
- Timing and urgency, since emergency after-hours calls differ from scheduled work.
- Complexity of access control or key management, such as restricted keyways, key tracking and coordinating with other vendors or property managers.

Commercial Locksmith across Burbank
Burbank's business landscape is unusually varied. The Media District around Olive Avenue and the streets near Warner Bros. Studios and Walt Disney Studios is full of production offices, post-production suites and support businesses where crews come and go. A common request there is master-keying and an access rekey after crew turnover, so that keys held by people who have moved on to the next project no longer open anything. If your office is in ZIP code 91505 or 91521, we regularly see this kind of need near the studios and along the Hollywood Way corridor.
Magnolia Park mixes small businesses with historic buildings. Many 1920s to 1940s structures along and near Magnolia Boulevard's antique row still carry original mortise hardware. Shop owners often want to keep the character of an old door while adding a modern Grade-1 deadbolt, and that is possible in many cases without altering the vintage door. Businesses in 91506 and 91501, near Downtown Burbank and San Fernando Boulevard, tend to have aluminum storefront doors where alignment, strikes and cylinders matter as much as the lock brand.
In the Rancho District, the equestrian properties have needs most locksmiths rarely think about: corroded tack-room padlocks, barn and stable latches, and worn driveway gate locks that take real weather and daily use. We also serve warehouses and industrial sites near Hollywood Burbank Airport and along I-5, SR-134, Victory Boulevard and Hollywood Way. Wherever you are in Burbank, including ZIP codes 91502, 91504, 91522 and 91523, we come to you.
