A panic bar is one of the few pieces of hardware that has two jobs that pull in opposite directions. It has to keep a door secure against people who should not come in, and it has to let anyone out with a single push, in the dark, in a hurry, without thinking. When it is installed well you never notice it. When it is installed badly, it sticks, rattles, fails to latch, or leaves a door that will not hold when someone tries it from the outside.

Camarillo has a wide mix of buildings that need this hardware. There are aluminum-storefront retail units at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, business and light-industrial parks off Daily Dr and Carmen Dr, hangars and offices around Camarillo Airport, and older storefronts in the Old Town Camarillo historic district. Each one has a different door, a different frame, and often a different reason the existing exit device is giving trouble.

Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are mobile only, so there is no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and hardware to your door, look at what is actually there, and install or repair the device so it works the way it should every time someone leans on it.

How it works in Camarillo

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you have: a single or double door, wood, hollow metal or aluminum storefront, and whether this is a new install or a repair. Photos of the door, frame and any existing hardware help us arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    Assess the door and frame on site

    We check that the door hangs square, that the frame is solid enough to take the device, and what type of device suits the opening. Rim exit devices, concealed vertical rods and mortise types all behave differently, and aluminum storefront frames in particular limit which ones fit.

  3. 3

    Select the right exit device

    We match the device to the door, how it is used, and whether the exit needs an outside trim, a key cylinder or a dogging feature. For double doors we consider whether a mullion or vertical rods make more sense.

  4. 4

    Install, align and secure

    We mount the device, set the strike, and make sure the latch engages cleanly without binding. Fasteners go into solid material, and we align the door so the bar releases with light pressure rather than a shove.

  5. 5

    Test the exit and the outside

    We cycle the device repeatedly from inside, confirm the door latches on closing, and check that it cannot be pushed or pulled open from outside. If a closer is involved, we adjust its speed so the door shuts fully.

  6. 6

    Walk through use and upkeep

    We show you how any dogging or trim works, what to watch for as the hardware wears, and which parts to have looked at before a problem becomes a stuck door.

What affects the price

  • Whether the job is a new installation or a repair of an existing exit device, since repairs can sometimes be done with parts rather than a full replacement.
  • The type of door and frame, such as aluminum storefront, hollow metal or wood, which affects the device choices and the mounting work involved.
  • Single versus double doors, and whether vertical rod or mullion hardware is needed.
  • Features like outside trim, key cylinders, dogging or alarm options, and the finish required to match existing hardware.
  • Condition of the door and frame, including any alignment, closer or strike adjustments needed for the device to work properly.
  • Time of day, since we are available 24/7 and after-hours calls differ from scheduled daytime work.

Why Camarillo chooses us

  • Fully mobile service across Camarillo, so the work happens at your door with no storefront trip and no need to move equipment.
  • Operating since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so decades of door and exit-hardware experience stand behind the work.
  • Comfortable with aluminum storefront doors like those found in retail centers, where frame limitations shape which exit device will fit.
  • We test the exit from both sides, so the door releases easily for people leaving and stays secure against people outside.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a failed exit device leaves a business unable to lock up safely overnight.
  • Straightforward advice on repair versus replacement, rather than pushing a full swap when a part will do.

Panic Bar Installation across Camarillo

Camarillo businesses sit in several distinct pockets. At the Camarillo Premium Outlets and nearby retail along Ventura Blvd and Las Posas Rd, aluminum-framed storefront doors are common, and their narrow stiles call for exit devices designed to fit them. Shop owners in the 93010 area often call us when a closer and exit device have drifted out of alignment and the door no longer latches on its own.

In Old Town Camarillo, the historic district brings older buildings with doors that are not standard sizes, and sensible hardware choices that respect the character of the storefront while still meeting the need for a dependable emergency exit. Near Camarillo Airport and the business and light-industrial parks off Daily Dr, Carmen Dr and Pleasant Valley Rd, warehouses and offices tend to need heavy-duty devices on hollow metal doors that see constant use. Several of these sit in the 93012 and 93011 ZIP codes.

We reach all of it from US-101 (Ventura Fwy) and SR-34 (Lewis Rd), and we also work with community facilities and clubhouse-style buildings in places like Leisure Village, Mission Oaks and Spanish Hills when they need emergency-exit hardware. Wherever your door is in Camarillo, call (323) 997-8867.

Panic Bar Installation in Camarillo — FAQs

What is the difference between a panic bar and an exit device?
They are largely the same thing. A panic bar is the push bar most people recognize, and exit device is the broader term covering rim, vertical rod and mortise styles. We can help you choose the type that fits your door.
Can you install a panic bar on an aluminum storefront door?
Yes, though the narrow stile of many storefront doors limits which devices fit. We assess the frame first and use devices made for that kind of door, which is common at retail centers around Camarillo.
My panic bar sticks or will not latch. Can it be repaired?
Often, yes. Misaligned strikes, worn parts and closer problems are common causes. We inspect the door and device and tell you honestly whether a repair or replacement makes more sense. Call (323) 997-8867.
Do you handle double doors?
Yes. Double doors may use vertical rod devices or a removable mullion, depending on the frame and how the doors are used. We look at the opening and recommend what suits it.
Are you available after hours for a broken exit door?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If an exit door will not secure or will not open, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to your Camarillo location.
Can the door still be locked from outside with a panic bar?
That depends on the device. Many have an outside trim or key cylinder so staff can enter while the bar always allows exit. We help you choose the arrangement your door needs.
Can you work on older storefronts in Old Town Camarillo?
Yes. Older doors may be non-standard in size or condition, so we examine the door and frame first and pick hardware that works properly with what is there.
Do I need to bring the device to you?
No. We are mobile only and work on site at your business. Describe your door when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will arrive prepared.
