A panic bar has one job that matters above all others: when someone pushes on it in an emergency, the door opens. Everything about a good installation follows from that. The device has to suit the door, the door has to close and latch properly, and the hardware has to keep working after years of daily use. In Burbank, that covers a wide range of buildings, from retail strips and restaurants to production offices, warehouses, schools and churches.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are a mobile-only locksmith, so there is no storefront to visit. We come to you, look at the actual opening, and install or repair the exit hardware right there. That matters with exit devices, because the right choice depends on door material, door width, how the door swings, and whether it is a single or double door.

Some Burbank customers are installing a panic bar on a new or remodeled opening. Others have an existing device that sticks, rattles, fails to latch, or no longer retracts smoothly. We handle both. We can also rekey the outside trim so that your exit door stays secure from the street while still opening freely from inside. Because we cannot see your door from here, we do not quote blind; we assess the opening first and explain what it needs.

How it works in Burbank

  1. 1

    Describe the door and how it is used

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us about the opening: the door material, whether it is single or double, how many people use it, and whether it is an existing device or a new install. This helps us bring the right hardware on our mobile unit.

  2. 2

    On-site assessment

    We inspect the door, frame, hinges, closer and threshold. An exit device only works well on a door that hangs square and closes fully, so we look for sagging, a worn strike, or a closer that needs adjustment before we mount anything.

  3. 3

    Choose the right device

    We walk through options such as rim devices, vertical rod devices for double doors, and trim choices on the outside. We match the device to the door, and we recommend you confirm code and fire-rating questions with your local authority or fire inspector where they apply.

  4. 4

    Install and align

    We mount the device, set the strike, and align the latch so it engages cleanly. On aluminum storefront doors, we use hardware made for narrow stiles. On wood or hollow metal doors, we prepare the door properly so the device sits solid.

  5. 5

    Test and key the outside trim

    We operate the door repeatedly from the inside to confirm a smooth, reliable release, then check the exterior trim or cylinder. If you want the outside keyed to your existing system, we can set that up during the same visit.

  6. 6

    Walk-through and care tips

    We show you how the device works, how to spot early wear, and what to report if it starts to stick. Simple periodic checks keep an exit device dependable.

What affects the price

  • The type of device: a basic rim exit device differs from a vertical rod set for a double door or a specialty device for a narrow-stile storefront.
  • The condition of the door and frame, since sagging, damaged strikes or a failing closer may need correction for the device to work properly.
  • Whether this is a new installation requiring door preparation or a replacement of an existing device that already has mounting holes.
  • The number of openings, because multiple doors in one building can be handled efficiently in a single visit.
  • Outside trim and keying choices, including whether the exterior needs a keyed cylinder, a rekey, or integration with an existing key system.
  • Timing and access, such as after-hours or emergency work versus a scheduled appointment.

Why Burbank chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we bring the work to your Burbank building instead of asking you to remove a door or visit a shop.
  • Operating since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar involved in the work.
  • Available 24/7, which helps when a broken exit device leaves a business unable to secure or legally operate its door.
  • We assess the door and frame before recommending hardware, rather than selling a device that the door cannot support.
  • We handle both the exit hardware and the keying on the outside, so one visit can cover the whole opening.
  • We explain code questions plainly and point you to your local inspector for final determinations, rather than guessing.

Panic Bar Installation across Burbank

Burbank has a mix of commercial buildings that makes exit hardware a regular need. Around the Media District, offices and aluminum-storefront commercial strips often have narrow-stile glass doors that require devices designed for that profile. Production offices near Warner Bros. Studios and Walt Disney Studios deal with crew turnover, which means exit doors, outside trim and keying often get reviewed together.

Along Magnolia Boulevard, the antique row shops and restaurants in Magnolia Park often occupy older buildings with doors that have shifted over decades. Before adding a panic bar, we check that the door still closes and latches squarely. Businesses near Downtown Burbank and San Fernando Blvd, as well as warehouses and service buildings near Hollywood Way and Hollywood Burbank Airport, have their own mix of single and double exit doors.

We serve Burbank ZIP codes including 91501, 91502, 91504, 91505 and 91506, and reach buildings off I-5, SR-134, Olive Ave and Victory Blvd. If your door in 91505 or anywhere else in the city needs a new exit device or a repair, call (323) 997-8867.

Panic Bar Installation in Burbank — FAQs

Do you install panic bars on Burbank storefront doors?
Yes. Many Media District and Magnolia Boulevard businesses have aluminum storefront doors with narrow stiles, and we install exit devices made for that kind of door. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe yours.
Can you repair an existing panic bar instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Sticking, loose, misaligned or poorly latching devices can sometimes be repaired or adjusted. If the device is worn out or the door is the real problem, we will explain that honestly.
Are you available after hours?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If an exit door will not close or secure your Burbank business at night, call (323) 997-8867.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only. We come to your location and do the assessment and work on site.
Will a panic bar let people in from the outside?
Not unless you choose outside trim that allows it. Typically the exterior is locked or has a keyed cylinder, while the inside always opens freely. We can set up the outside to match your needs.
Do I need to worry about fire code?
Exit hardware is tied to safety requirements that vary by building and occupancy. We install devices correctly and can discuss options, but your local fire authority or inspector makes final determinations.
Can you do several doors in one visit?
Yes. Many Burbank buildings have multiple exit doors, and we can assess and work on them together. Call (323) 997-8867 to plan it.
Can you key the outside to match my existing locks?
In many cases we can rekey or set up the exterior cylinder to work with your current keys, which is helpful for offices and production spaces.
