City of Industry is almost entirely non-residential. Its streets are lined with distribution centers, cold-storage buildings, import/export facilities, light manufacturing and aluminum-storefront flex offices. For these buildings, a metal key on a ring is often the weakest part of the security plan. Keys get copied, employees leave without returning them, and nobody can say who opened the dock door at two in the morning. Access control replaces that guesswork with credentials you can issue, restrict and cancel.

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, so every assessment, installation and adjustment happens at your building. That suits an industrial city, where the job might be a perimeter gate off Valley Blvd, a front office door at a flex unit, or a man-door beside a loading dock.

We install keypad locks, proximity card readers and key fob systems for business entrances, and we pair them with the hardware that actually holds the door shut: electric strikes, magnetic locks, panic and crash bars, and high-security deadbolts. A reader is only as good as the door it is mounted on, so we look at the whole opening, not just the electronics.

How it works in City of Industry

  1. 1

    Talk through the site

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are protecting: a single office door, several dock doors, a tenant suite or a gated yard. We ask how many people need access, whether schedules matter, and whether the doors are used by night-shift staff.

  2. 2

    Walk the doors and frames

    We come to your building and examine each opening. We check the door material, aluminum storefront stiles, steel man-doors or gate hardware, along with existing panic bars, closers and the power available nearby. Doors that cannot hold a reader reliably get flagged before any work starts.

  3. 3

    Choose the right credential type

    Keypads suit small teams and low-turnover areas. Cards and fobs suit larger staffs because each person gets an individual credential that can be cancelled. We explain the tradeoffs plainly and match them to how your operation really runs.

  4. 4

    Install and wire the hardware

    We mount readers or keypads, fit the electric strike, magnetic lock or electrified hardware, and run low-voltage wiring. Exit devices stay functional so people can always leave, which matters for life safety on any door that serves staff.

  5. 5

    Program users and test every opening

    We enroll credentials, set who can enter which doors, and test each one repeatedly, including exit from the inside and behavior if power is interrupted. You are shown how to add and remove users yourself.

  6. 6

    Hand over and follow up

    We leave you with a clear picture of what was installed and how to manage it. If you later need to add a door, rekey a master-key system or repair a panic bar, we can return.

What affects the price

  • The number of doors or gates being controlled, since each opening needs its own reader and locking hardware.
  • The type of door: aluminum storefront, hollow metal, wood or a sliding or swing gate each call for different mounting and locking methods.
  • Credential type and quantity, such as a simple keypad versus a card or fob system with many individual users.
  • Whether existing exit devices, closers or frames can be reused or need repair or replacement to work properly with the new lock.
  • Wiring conditions: distance to power, whether cable can be run through walls or conduit, and how exposed an outdoor gate location is.
  • Timing of the visit, as after-hours or emergency service differs from a scheduled daytime installation.

Why City of Industry chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987, so we assess your actual doors on site instead of selling you a package from a catalog.
  • One company handles both the electronics and the mechanical hardware: panic bars, mortise and rim cylinders, high-security deadbolts and padlocks.
  • Available 24/7, which matters for facilities running night shifts or needing urgent securing after a break-in or a termination.
  • We can combine access control with master-key work, so older mechanical doors and new electronic ones fit into one coherent plan.
  • We keep exit devices code-minded. A door should never trap the people inside, and we test egress on every opening.
  • Led by owner David Shar, so you deal with an experienced locksmith rather than a rotating sales contact.

Access Control across City of Industry

City of Industry's building stock is built around logistics and manufacturing. Along Valley Blvd and Azusa Ave, and in the Bassett-adjacent industrial district, large warehouses often have a front office door, several dock man-doors and a perimeter gate, each with different security needs. Near Grand Crossing and the rail yards, storage yards and container areas add gate and padlock concerns. We work with all of it, and we reach sites in ZIP codes such as 91746, 91744, 91745 and 91789.

Common scenarios here include a distribution warehouse where a terminated employee still holds keys to dock doors, offices and gates. Moving the most-used entrances to card or fob control lets you cancel one credential in seconds instead of rekeying everything. Another is a loading-dock man-door with a broken panic bar that traps night-shift staff. That needs prompt repair, and it is a good moment to consider adding a reader above it.

The city is also home to Industry Hills, with Pacific Palms Resort and the Eisenhower and Zaharias courses of Industry Hills Golf Club, where hospitality and club facilities have their own staff-only and back-of-house doors. With SR-60 and I-605 running through the city, we are mobile and can come to wherever your business sits. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.

Access Control in City of Industry — FAQs

What kinds of access control do you install for City of Industry businesses?
We install keypad, card and fob systems for business entrances, along with the electric strikes, magnetic locks and exit hardware that go with them. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your doors.
Is access control better than a master-key system for a warehouse?
It depends. Master-key systems work well for mechanical doors, but lost keys mean rekeying. Cards and fobs can be cancelled individually. Many warehouses use both, and we can set up either or a mix.
Can you add access control to an aluminum storefront door?
Usually yes. Storefront doors have narrow stiles, so we choose hardware that fits, such as a surface-mounted or strike-based solution. We inspect the door first to confirm what will work reliably.
Will the door still let people out in an emergency?
Yes. We design installations so people can always exit, and we test egress on every door. We keep panic bars and exit devices working as part of the installation.
Do you work at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. For urgent needs like a broken exit device or a compromised gate, call (323) 997-8867.
Can you secure gates and storage yards, not just office doors?
Yes. We handle gate hardware, high-security padlocks and cut or seized padlock removal for yards and containers, and we can discuss keypad or card control for gates.
What happens when an employee leaves?
With card or fob control, you remove that person's credential and their access ends. With mechanical keys, the affected cylinders usually need rekeying. We can help with either approach.
Do I need to visit your shop to get started?
No. We have no storefront because we are mobile only. We come to your City of Industry building to assess, install and program the system.
