Panic bars are not what most people picture when they think of Hidden Hills. This is a guard-gated city of large estates, equestrian properties and quiet lanes. But panic hardware has a real place here. Private event barns, large stables, detached workshops, guest houses with outbuildings, pool houses, and the school and community-type spaces in and around the city sometimes need doors that open instantly from the inside with a single push, while staying secure from the outside.

A panic bar, also called an exit device, lets someone leave in an emergency without turning a knob, working a thumb latch or finding a key. On a barn full of animals, an entertaining space that hosts guests, or a business-style room on an estate, that matters. The hardware has to move smoothly, latch reliably and hold up to dust, moisture, heat and daily use. Horse properties are hard on hardware, so a bar that is chosen and fitted well is worth far more than a cheap one that sticks or corrodes.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit. We come to your property, look at the door, and install or repair the exit hardware on site. Because many Hidden Hills properties are behind manned entry gates, we coordinate access so the work goes smoothly.

How it works in Hidden Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door and its purpose

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the door: barn, event space, guest house, workshop or something else. Tell us whether it is single or double, wood, metal or glass, and whether it must stay locked from outside.

  2. 2

    Coordinate gate entry

    Most properties here sit behind the manned Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road entry gates. We work with you so the gate is notified and we can reach the property without delay on your end.

  3. 3

    On-site assessment

    We look at the door material, thickness, swing, frame condition and how it is used. We check whether an existing device can be repaired or whether new hardware is the better choice, and we explain the options plainly.

  4. 4

    Select and fit the hardware

    We match the exit device to the door, such as a rim-style bar, a vertical rod arrangement for double doors, or a version suited to outdoor exposure. We install it square and aligned so it latches cleanly and releases with a light push.

  5. 5

    Test and adjust

    We operate the bar repeatedly, check the latch engagement, confirm the outside trim or key cylinder works as intended, and make adjustments so the door closes and secures properly.

  6. 6

    Walk-through and keying

    We show you how the device works and, if needed, key the outside cylinder to match your existing system so staff and family do not carry extra keys.

What affects the price

  • Whether you need a new installation or a repair of an existing exit device
  • Single door versus double doors, which may need vertical rods or a mullion
  • Door material and condition, since wood, metal and older ranch-style doors prep differently
  • Outdoor or barn exposure that calls for more weather-resistant hardware
  • Whether the outside needs a key cylinder, trim or no outside access at all
  • Keying the new device to match an existing master or keyed-alike system

Why Hidden Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile, so we work at the door where the problem is rather than asking you to bring anything anywhere
  • Available 24/7, including when a failing exit device leaves a door unsafe or unsecured
  • In business since 1987 under owner and lead tech David Shar
  • Familiar with estate and equestrian properties, including barns, tack rooms, guest houses and gated driveways
  • Able to tie new exit hardware into your existing keying so you are not managing extra keys
  • Plain explanations of repair versus replacement, with no pressure to buy more than the door needs

Panic Bar Installation across Hidden Hills

Hidden Hills is a small, private city next to Calabasas, reached from the US-101 (Ventura Freeway) corridor and set off by its manned gates. In the Long Valley Road area, many properties are large estates with guest houses, pool houses and outbuildings. Some of those spaces host gatherings or serve as workshops, and an exit device can make those doors safer without giving up security from outside.

In the Spring Valley Road area and the Round Meadow area, the equestrian character is strong, with barns, stables and tack rooms on roughly one-acre-plus lots and access to the private equestrian trail network. Barn doors take dust, moisture and heavy daily use, so we pay attention to durability and smooth operation. The mix of original 1950s-60s ranch homes and newer custom builds also means door types vary widely, and we fit the hardware to each.

We serve ZIP code 91302 and coordinate with the entry gates so a visit is straightforward. If you are near Round Meadow Elementary School or along Round Meadow Rd, Long Valley Rd or Spring Valley Rd, call (323) 997-8867 and we will work out the details with you.

Panic Bar Installation in Hidden Hills — FAQs

Do you install panic bars in Hidden Hills at any hour?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will discuss your door and schedule the work.
Why would a Hidden Hills property need a panic bar?
Barns, event spaces, workshops, guest houses and larger outbuildings may need doors that open instantly from inside in an emergency while staying secure from outside.
Can you repair an existing panic bar instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Sticking latches, worn parts and misalignment can frequently be fixed. We check the device and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are mobile only. We come to your property in Hidden Hills and do the work on site.
How do you handle the manned entry gates?
We coordinate with you so the Long Valley Road or Spring Valley Road gate knows we are expected. Call (323) 997-8867 to set this up.
Will a panic bar work on a barn or outdoor door?
Yes, with the right hardware. Barn doors face dust and moisture, so we recommend devices suited to that exposure and fit them carefully.
Can the outside of the door still be locked?
Yes. A panic bar can release freely from inside while the outside is locked or fitted with a key cylinder or trim, depending on how you want the door to function.
Can you key the new device to match my other locks?
In many cases we can key the outside cylinder to match your existing system, which is helpful for estates with several buildings. Call (323) 997-8867 to ask about your setup.
