A key that can be copied, lost or handed to a former employee is a weak point at any business entrance. Access control replaces that single point of failure with credentials you can issue, change and cancel. Keypad codes, proximity cards and key fobs let you decide who gets in, which doors they can use, and what happens when someone leaves. For Glendora businesses, from a small office to a boutique shop, this is often the most practical security upgrade available.

Glendora is not one kind of building. Glendora Village has historic early-1900s structures and boutique storefronts, where old frames, narrow doors and character details shape what hardware will fit. South Glendora has more post-war commercial and mixed-use buildings that tend to be more straightforward. Each calls for a different approach, and we look at the actual door, frame and power situation before recommending anything.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are mobile only. There is no storefront to visit. We bring the work to your entrance, whether you need one keypad on a back door or a multi-door card system, and we are reachable around the clock at (323) 997-8867.

How it works in Glendora

  1. 1

    Talk through how your business uses its doors

    We start by asking who needs to enter, when, and through which doors. A shop with a few employees has different needs from an office with shared suites, deliveries and after-hours cleaners. This shapes whether a keypad, cards or fobs make the most sense.

  2. 2

    Inspect the door, frame and surroundings

    We come to your location and look at the door material, the frame, the existing lock, and where power and wiring can realistically run. In older Glendora Village buildings, this step matters because original frames and finishes may limit what can be mounted.

  3. 3

    Recommend a system and hardware type

    We explain your options in plain terms: standalone keypad or reader locks versus a networked system, and electrified strikes, magnetic locks or electric lock sets. We tell you what each one does well and where it falls short, so you can choose with full information.

  4. 4

    Install and wire the hardware

    We mount the lock or reader, install any strike or release hardware, and connect power and controls. We aim to keep the door working properly and securely, and we take care with the finish of the frame and surrounding surfaces.

  5. 5

    Program credentials and test

    We set up user codes, cards or fobs, and test every function with you, including how the door behaves when it is locked, unlocked or loses power. You see how to add and remove users yourself.

  6. 6

    Hand over and explain next steps

    We walk you through day-to-day use, how to cancel a lost credential, and what to do if something stops working. If you need to add doors later, the system can be planned to grow.

What affects the price

  • The number of doors being controlled and whether each one needs its own reader or keypad.
  • The type of system: a standalone unit on one door versus a networked system managed from a central point.
  • The door and frame itself, including material, age and condition, and whether the hardware can be fitted without modification.
  • Wiring and power needs, such as how far cable must run and whether the building makes routing easy or difficult.
  • The kind of locking hardware, such as an electrified strike, magnetic lock or electric lock set, and its fire-egress requirements.
  • The number and type of credentials needed, such as cards, fobs or codes, and how many users must be set up.

Why Glendora chooses us

  • We are fully mobile and come to your Glendora business. There is no shop to drive to, and we are available 24/7.
  • Locksmithing has been our trade since 1987, so we understand the mechanical lock and door underneath the electronics.
  • You deal with an experienced locksmith team led by owner David Shar, not a call center passing work along.
  • We explain options honestly, including when a simple keypad is enough and a larger system would be unnecessary.
  • We pay attention to older buildings, such as Glendora Village's historic storefronts, where hardware must suit the door and frame.
  • You are shown how to manage your own users, so a lost card or departing employee does not require a service call.

Access Control across Glendora

Glendora's business entrances are varied. In Glendora Village, the historic downtown blocks hold early-1900s buildings and boutique storefronts. Older frames and glass doors there often call for careful hardware choices, and a keypad or reader lock can bring modern control to a door without changing the look of the storefront. We also see the practical side of this work, from cylinder replacements to lockouts at village shops, which keeps us familiar with how these doors are built.

South Glendora, where much of the housing is post-war single-family tract, also has small offices and service businesses along its main streets. Grand Ave, Glendora Ave and Lone Hill Ave carry steady traffic, and businesses along them often want a simple way to control back-of-house and employee entrances. In ZIP code 91740 and 91741, we handle both small, single-door installations and multi-door plans.

North Glendora is mostly foothill estates, but home offices and private properties there sometimes want access control too, especially behind gated drives. Whether your business sits near Citrus College, along historic Route 66 (Alosta Ave and Foothill Blvd), or close to the Interstate 210 corridor, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour to talk through your entrance.

Access Control in Glendora — FAQs

What is the difference between keypad, card and fob access control?
A keypad uses a code that people type in. Cards and fobs are carried credentials that you hold near a reader. Codes are simple and need no hardware for users, while cards and fobs make it easier to cancel one person's access without changing everyone else's. We can help you choose. Call (323) 997-8867.
Can you install access control on a historic storefront in Glendora Village?
Often yes. Older buildings have original frames and finishes that limit options, so we inspect the door first and recommend hardware that suits it. Some systems mount with minimal changes to the door. We tell you honestly what will and will not work.
Do you offer a storefront I can visit to pick a system?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We come to your Glendora business, look at the actual door, and discuss options on site. You can reach us at (323) 997-8867.
Are you available outside normal business hours?
Yes. We are available 24/7. Installation is usually planned, but if a lock fails or a credential problem leaves your business exposed, you can call us at any hour.
How much does access control installation cost?
It depends on the number of doors, the type of system, the condition of the door and frame, wiring needs, and how many credentials you need. We do not quote blind. After seeing your entrance, we explain what drives the cost so there are no surprises.
What happens to the door if the power goes out?
It depends on the hardware. Some locks stay locked when power fails, others release. We explain how your chosen setup behaves and make sure it fits your needs and safe exit requirements before we finish.
Can I remove a lost card or a former employee's access myself?
With most systems, yes. After installation we show you how to add and delete users or credentials. If you ever need help, call (323) 997-8867.
Can you add access control to an existing door lock?
In many cases we can upgrade an existing entrance by fitting a new keypad or reader lock or adding an electric strike. We check the door, frame and current hardware first to see what is realistic.
