A commercial door works harder than almost any other part of a building. A shop on Lomita Boulevard may see it swing hundreds of times a day, and a small office on the Narbonne Avenue corridor may depend on one aluminum storefront door for both customers and security. When the hardware wears out, the door drags, the latch misses the strike, the closer slams or the lock stops turning. Those problems tend to show up at closing time or first thing in the morning.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our owner and lead technician, David Shar, has spent decades working on these systems. We handle storefront thumb-latch and push-pull hardware, aluminum-frame door locks, mortise lock bodies and cylinders, panic and exit devices, door closers, hinges, strikes and related parts. We are fully mobile and do not have a storefront, so the work happens at your door.

Lomita is a compact city of about 1.9 square miles, and many of its businesses sit in older buildings with older doors. Some are original to the 1960s and 70s, while others have been modified with newer glass or frames. That mix means no single hardware kit fits everything. We look at what is actually on your door, repair it when repair makes sense, and replace it when the parts are past saving.

How it works in Lomita

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour and tell us what the door is doing. Is it a storefront glass door, an aluminum-frame door or a wood or metal door with a mortise lock? Is it jammed, loose, not latching or locked with no key? That helps us bring suitable parts.

  2. 2

    Meet you on site

    We are fully mobile, so a technician comes to your business in Lomita. If the door is a security problem, such as a lock that will not secure the building, we treat that as a priority and talk through temporary options.

  3. 3

    Inspect the whole door

    Hardware problems are often caused by something nearby. We check the lock or latch, the strike, hinges, closer, alignment and frame. A latch that will not catch may be a worn lock, or a door that has sagged over time.

  4. 4

    Repair or replace with options

    We explain what we found and whether repair or replacement is the better choice. Many mortise locks and cylinders can be serviced, while worn trim, damaged exit devices and bent parts may need replacing. You decide before we proceed.

  5. 5

    Install, adjust and test

    We fit the hardware, align the strike and adjust the closer so the door swings, closes and latches properly. Then we operate the lock repeatedly with the door open and closed, and confirm the keys work.

  6. 6

    Rekey or add keys if needed

    If a former employee still has a key or you want a tidier key system, we can rekey the cylinders or cut additional keys on site so the repair also improves your security.

What affects the price

  • The type of hardware: a basic storefront latch is a different job from a mortise lock body, a panic device or a heavy-duty closer.
  • Repair versus replacement: servicing worn parts is often more economical, but hardware that is obsolete or damaged may need replacing.
  • Parts availability: common commercial hardware is easy to source, while discontinued or specialty items for older frames can take more effort.
  • Door and frame condition: a bent, sagging or misaligned door can add adjustment work beyond the lock itself.
  • Number of doors and cylinders: several doors, rekeying or a matching key system changes the scope.
  • Timing and urgency: an emergency or after-hours call involves different logistics than a scheduled visit, and we give details when you call.

Why Lomita chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your Lomita business, with no storefront and no need to bring the door to us.
  • Available 24/7: a door that will not lock at night is a real problem, and you can reach us at (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
  • Experience since 1987: David Shar and our technicians have worked on many generations of commercial hardware.
  • Repair first when it makes sense: we will not push replacement if a worn part can be serviced reliably.
  • Whole-door thinking: we check the closer, hinges, strike and alignment instead of treating only the lock.
  • Clear explanations: we tell you what we found and your options before work begins.

Commercial Door Hardware across Lomita

Lomita's business life runs along a few main routes. Lomita Boulevard and the City Center area hold small shops, offices and services, while the Narbonne Avenue commercial corridor has a steady run of storefronts. Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1) and Western Avenue carry traffic past many other businesses on the city's edges. Many of these buildings date from the decades after Lomita incorporated in 1964, so aluminum storefront frames and older mortise hardware are common.

We work throughout ZIP code 90717, from commercial spaces near Lomita Park and the Lomita Railroad Museum to small offices and mixed-use properties close to Harbor Hills. A typical call might be a Narbonne Avenue shop whose door no longer latches, or a Lomita Boulevard office where the closer has started to slam. Property managers with apartment buildings may also call us for common-area doors, laundry rooms and entry hardware alongside unit rekeys.

Because Lomita sits at the gateway to the Palos Verdes Peninsula, we also hear from businesses serving nearby gated communities and from owners who want their entrances to look and work properly. Whatever the building, we are mobile and available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what your door is doing.

Can you help with apartment common-area or laundry-room doors?
