A commercial door is used far more than a residential one. A shop on Ventura Blvd may open and close its front door hundreds of times a day, and that wear shows up in sagging closers, loose panic bars, worn latches and cylinders that bind. When the hardware fails, it is more than an annoyance: a door that will not latch leaves the business unsecured overnight, and a door that will not release is a safety problem. Crenshaw Lock Company repairs and replaces this hardware for Encino businesses.
We work on the types of doors you see up and down Ventura Blvd, Balboa Blvd and Encino Commons: glass storefront doors in aluminum frames with narrow stiles, older mortise-lock doors in professional buildings, and the mix of office suite doors and rear service entries behind them. Each of these uses different hardware, and the right fix depends on what is actually on the door. Sometimes a repair is all it takes. Sometimes the old hardware is worn past the point where repair makes sense, and replacement is the honest recommendation.
We have been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are mobile only, with no storefront to visit. We bring the tools and parts to your location, look at the door in place, and explain your options before we start. Because we are 24/7, a failed lock or a door that will not close does not have to wait for business hours.
How it works in Encino
- 1
Describe the door and the problem
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door it is: glass storefront, aluminum frame, or a wood or metal door with a mortise lock. Tell us what is going wrong, such as a latch that will not catch, a key that sticks, or a closer that slams. That helps us bring the right parts.
- 2
Inspect the hardware in place
We come to your Encino location and examine the door, frame, hardware and alignment. Many hardware problems are really alignment problems, so we check hinges, pivots, strike position and closer adjustment, not just the lock.
- 3
Explain repair versus replacement
We tell you plainly whether the existing hardware can be repaired or whether replacing it makes more sense. On mortise locks we look at whether the case, cylinder and trim can be rebuilt or matched. You decide before work begins.
- 4
Repair or install the hardware
We repair or replace the hardware on site, whether that is a storefront lock, a mortise lock body, a cylinder, an exit device, a handle set or a closer. We fit it to the door so it operates smoothly and latches securely.
- 5
Test, key and secure the door
We test the door through repeated cycles, confirm it latches and releases correctly, and make sure keys work. If the hardware was replaced, we can set up keying so the new locks fit your key system. Before leaving, we confirm the door is secure.

What affects the price
- The type of door: glass storefront, aluminum-frame, or mortise-lock doors each use different hardware and take different labor.
- Whether the hardware can be repaired or must be replaced, and how readily a matching part is available for older or discontinued mortise locks.
- The grade and style of the replacement hardware, including exit devices, closers and high-security cylinders.
- Keying needs, such as matching an existing key system, rekeying, or setting up keys for multiple doors.
- Whether the door or frame needs adjustment or related repair, like bent pivots, worn hinges or misaligned strikes, to make the new hardware work.
- The time of day and the urgency of the call, since after-hours emergency work differs from scheduled work.
Why Encino chooses us
- We are fully mobile, so repairs happen at your door in Encino with no need to bring anything to a shop.
- We work on storefront, aluminum-frame and mortise hardware, which means one call can cover the front entry and the back door.
- We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
- We are available 24/7, so a door that will not lock at night can be handled without waiting for morning.
- We tell you whether repair or replacement makes sense and explain why before work starts.
- We check the door and frame, not just the lock, because alignment is often the real cause of hardware failure.
Commercial Door Hardware across Encino
Encino's commercial life runs along Ventura Blvd, especially around Encino Commons, with more businesses and offices on Balboa Blvd, White Oak Ave, Hayvenhurst Ave and Sepulveda Blvd. Many of the shops, restaurants and professional suites here use aluminum-frame storefront doors, while some older buildings still have mortise locks that have been in service for decades. We serve businesses in ZIP codes 91316, 91436, 91416 and 91426.
Because we are mobile, we reach businesses across Encino from the Ventura Blvd corridor to offices near Burbank Blvd and Victory Blvd, and we are used to the access provided by US-101 and nearby I-405. Commercial customers often manage buildings where the neighbors are residential, from Encino Village to the estate areas near Royal Oaks and Amestoy Estates, so we keep that in mind when working after hours.
Whether your business is near Los Encinos State Historic Park, close to the Balboa Sports Complex, or on the northern edge by the Sepulveda Basin, the approach is the same: we come to you, look at the door and fix what needs fixing. We do not have a storefront, so every job is done at your location.
