A commercial door works harder than almost anything else in a building. It gets opened hundreds of times a day, slammed by wind, propped with a trash can, and leaned on by carts and deliveries. When the hardware starts to fail, the symptoms are familiar: a latch that no longer catches, a closer that slams or barely moves, a panic bar that sticks, or an aluminum storefront door that has to be lifted and shoved to lock. In El Segundo, those problems show up in very different buildings, from a Main Street shopfront to a light-industrial suite in Smoky Hollow to an office park east of Sepulveda.
Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and our team work entirely on a mobile basis. There is no storefront to visit. We come to your door with the tools and a range of common commercial hardware, diagnose what is really wrong, and repair or replace it on site. Often a door that seems to need new hardware actually needs an alignment adjustment, a new strike, or a closer reset, and we will tell you which it is rather than sell you parts you do not need.
Our commercial door hardware work covers storefront and aluminum-frame doors with narrow stiles, mortise lock bodies and cylinders, exit devices, closers, hinges, pivots, strikes, and the trim that goes with them. We can also coordinate hardware with rekeying or master-key work so your doors operate as one coherent system. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour, since we are available 24/7 and a broken door lock rarely picks a convenient time.
How it works in El Segundo
- 1
Describe the door and the problem
When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask what kind of door it is (aluminum storefront, hollow metal, wood), what the hardware does or fails to do, and whether the door can currently be secured. That helps us plan the right parts and advise on temporary security if the business is exposed.
- 2
On-site inspection
We check the whole opening, not just the lock. Hinges, pivots, closer arm, threshold, strike alignment and frame condition all affect whether hardware works. Many failures trace back to a door that has sagged or a frame that has shifted.
- 3
Repair or replace, with a clear recommendation
If a mortise body, cylinder or exit device can be serviced economically, we say so. If it is worn out, obsolete or a mismatch for the door, we explain why replacement makes sense and what options fit your door profile and use.
- 4
Install and adjust
We fit new hardware or restore existing parts, then adjust the closer speed and latching force, align strikes, and make sure the door swings and locks without force. Aluminum-frame doors often need careful handling of narrow stiles and pre-drilled prep, so we match hardware to what the door can accept.
- 5
Key and system coordination
If the new cylinders should work with your existing keys, or if this is a good moment to rekey or set up a master-key arrangement across multiple doors, we handle it during the same visit when possible.
- 6
Final test and walkthrough
Before we leave, we cycle the door repeatedly, test the locking and exit function, and show you or your staff how everything works so the door is ready for the next opening.

What affects the price
- The type of door and frame: aluminum storefront, hollow metal and wood doors each accept different hardware and take different amounts of labor.
- Whether the hardware can be repaired or must be replaced, and the grade and brand of the replacement mortise lock, exit device or closer.
- The number of doors in the job and whether keying, rekeying or master-key work is included.
- The condition of the opening: sagging doors, worn hinges or pivots, and damaged frames or strikes add work beyond the lock itself.
- Special features such as electrified hardware, fire-rated door requirements, or compatibility with an existing access-control system.
- Whether the visit is after hours or an emergency call, and any parts that are not commonly stocked and must be sourced.
Why El Segundo chooses us
- Fully mobile: we bring the work to your El Segundo door, so you are not closing up or hauling hardware anywhere.
- Available 24/7, which matters when a storefront will not lock at night or a staff change forces urgent after-hours work.
- In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead tech, so commercial hardware problems are familiar territory.
- We diagnose the whole opening and tell you honestly when an adjustment will fix what looks like a replacement job.
- We work with storefront, aluminum-frame and mortise hardware and can tie it into rekeying and master-key systems in one visit.
- We explain options plainly and do not use hype, so you can make a decision based on how your door is actually used.
Commercial Door Hardware across El Segundo
El Segundo is really two towns on either side of Sepulveda Blvd, and the hardware needs differ accordingly. East of Sepulveda, large corporate and aerospace campuses, the area around Los Angeles Air Force Base, the Mattel headquarters and the office zones along Aviation Blvd and Rosecrans Ave rely on high-security commercial doors, electronic access control and master-key systems. Facilities teams there often need interior office hardware serviced after hours following staff changes, and that is exactly the kind of work a mobile, 24/7 service can handle without disrupting the workday.
In Smoky Hollow, the light-industrial and creative district, buildings tend to mix older roll-up and steel doors with newer aluminum storefront entries for offices and studios. A multi-suite building there may want matching hardware, a master-key setup and a clean path to an access-control upgrade, so that each tenant's door works with the right keys. Downtown and Main Street storefronts, with their glass-and-aluminum entries facing foot traffic, tend to wear out closers, pivots and latches from constant daily use, and a door that does not latch properly is a security issue as well as a nuisance.
We serve businesses throughout ZIP code 90245, from properties near Imperial Hwy and El Segundo Blvd to shops close to The Point shopping center and offices within reach of the I-105. Near the coast, salt air is hard on exposed hardware, so we pay attention to corrosion on exterior locks, strikes and hinges when we inspect a door. Whatever the building, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
