A metal key works fine until the day you need to know who has one. Employees leave, tenants turn over, contractors borrow keys, and a strip-center suite that was rekeyed last year may still have a dozen copies floating around Lancaster. Access control replaces that guesswork with credentials you can issue, change and cancel without swapping a single cylinder.

Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar's team installs keypad, card and fob systems on the kinds of entrances you find across the Antelope Valley: aluminum storefront doors, steel back doors, office suites, warehouse and shop doors near Fox Field, and gated or shared entries at apartment and commercial properties.

We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we meet you at the building, look at the actual door, frame and power situation, and recommend a system that fits. We do not push a one-size package, because a single-door office and a multi-tenant property need different things.

How it works in Lancaster

  1. 1

    Talk through who needs access

    We start by asking how the building is used: how many people come and go, whether you have shifts, tenants or vendors, and whether doors need to be restricted by time or by person. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can begin this conversation by phone.

  2. 2

    Look at the door in person

    Because we come to you, we inspect the real door. Aluminum storefront stiles are narrow and limit which hardware fits. Steel and wood doors allow other options. We check frame condition, existing locks, and whether a worn or sun-damaged cylinder should be replaced during the job.

  3. 3

    Choose keypad, card, fob or a mix

    Keypads are simple for small teams but codes get shared. Cards and fobs let you cancel one lost credential without affecting anyone else. We explain the tradeoffs plainly and match the system to your door and budget.

  4. 4

    Install the reader, lock and power

    We mount the reader or keypad, fit an electric strike, magnetic lock or electrified hardware as appropriate, and handle power and wiring. We keep egress in mind so people can always exit safely, and we aim for a clean, tidy finish.

  5. 5

    Program and test

    We enroll credentials, set any schedules, and test every function with you, including what happens during a power interruption, so you are not discovering surprises later.

  6. 6

    Walk you through management

    Before we leave, we show you how to add, remove and change credentials. We also keep a mechanical key override available where it makes sense, so a dead battery never locks you out.

What affects the price

  • Number of doors being controlled, since each opening needs its own reader and lock hardware.
  • Door type and condition, such as aluminum storefront, steel, or wood, and whether the frame or an old cylinder needs repair first.
  • Credential type: simple keypads generally differ in scope from card or fob systems with many users.
  • Locking method, including electric strike, magnetic lock, or electrified hardware, and the power supply each requires.
  • Wiring complexity, such as how far the reader sits from power and whether walls or ceilings need to be opened.
  • Extra features like scheduling, multiple user groups, or integration with an existing alarm or gate.

Why Lancaster chooses us

  • Operating since 1987, with decades of hands-on experience on commercial doors, not only residential locks.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so we can secure an entrance after a break-in and install your system on a schedule that suits your business.
  • We inspect your actual door first rather than quoting a generic package, which avoids hardware that does not fit narrow storefront frames.
  • We handle the lock side and the access side together, so rekeying, repair and electronic control come from one provider.
  • We explain tradeoffs honestly, including when a simple keypad is enough and when cards or fobs are worth it.
  • Owner-led: David Shar stands behind the work.

Access Control across Lancaster

Lancaster businesses are spread across a wide grid, from the shops and restaurants of The BLVD along Lancaster Boulevard to strip centers on Avenue K, Avenue J and Avenue L, and industrial and aviation-related buildings near William J. Fox Airfield. Many of those strip units have aluminum storefront doors, which have their own hardware limits and benefit from careful selection of strikes and readers. We have also seen how sun exposure in the high desert can degrade exterior cylinders, which matters when you are adding electronics to an existing door.

We work across Lancaster's ZIP codes, including 93534 near the downtown core, 93535 in the east and south, and 93536 in West Lancaster. Whether your building is in West Lancaster, East Lancaster, Quartz Hill or near the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds, we come to you rather than asking you to bring anything in.

Property managers in the area often juggle rental turnover and vacant units, where lost keys mean repeated rekeying. Access control can reduce that churn at shared entries and common doors. If you manage a property near CA-14, Sierra Highway or 10th Street West, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what makes sense for your doors.

Access Control in Lancaster — FAQs

What types of access control do you install in Lancaster?
We install keypad, card and fob systems for business entrances. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will help you decide which fits your doors and the number of people who need access.
Can access control go on an aluminum storefront door?
Often yes, but narrow stiles limit what hardware fits. We inspect the door first and choose a compatible reader and lock, which is common on Avenue K and Lancaster Boulevard strip centers.
Is a keypad or a fob system better?
Keypads are simpler and good for small teams, but codes can be shared. Cards and fobs let you cancel one lost credential without affecting others. We explain both so you can choose.
Do you offer 24/7 service for access control?
Yes, we are a 24/7 mobile locksmith. If a break-in damages a door, we can help secure it, and we can schedule installations at times that suit your business. Call (323) 997-8867.
Will people still be able to exit safely?
Yes. We plan every installation with safe exit in mind, so people can leave without a credential, and we explain how the door behaves during a power loss.
Do I need a storefront visit?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your building anywhere in Lancaster, including West Lancaster, East Lancaster and Quartz Hill.
Can you add access control to a multi-tenant or rental property?
Yes, shared entries and common doors are a good fit. It can reduce repeated rekeying after tenant turnover since you cancel credentials instead of changing cylinders.
How do you price an access control installation?
Price depends on factors like door count, door type, credential type, wiring and features. We do not quote without seeing the setup. Call (323) 997-8867 to start the conversation.
