A commercial door works harder than almost anything else in a building. A café on Manhattan Beach Boulevard might open and close its entrance hundreds of times in a day, and a salon or office near Metlox Plaza sees constant traffic. When the hardware starts to fail, you notice quickly: a latch that sticks, a thumbturn that spins freely, a closer that slams or barely moves, or a lock cylinder that no longer accepts a key. Because these doors are your front line for security and customer access, they deserve attention before a small problem becomes a lockout or a door that cannot be secured at night.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and commercial hardware is a regular part of that work. We repair and replace storefront hardware, aluminum-frame door hardware, and mortise lock sets, which are the heavy-duty bodies set into the edge of the door. Each has its own parts and quirks. Narrow-stile aluminum doors, for example, limit what can be installed, while mortise locks offer a lot of flexibility but need careful fitting and the right trim.
We are a fully mobile operation. There is no storefront to visit; David Shar and our technicians bring the tools and common parts to your door, day or night. That matters in a beach city where businesses keep odd hours and a failed lock at closing time cannot wait. We look at what is actually wrong first, and repair what can reasonably be repaired rather than replacing everything by default.
How it works in Manhattan Beach
- 1
Call and describe the door
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what type of door it is (glass storefront, aluminum frame, or a solid door with a mortise lock), what it is doing, and whether the business is currently secure. This helps us bring the right parts.
- 2
On-site inspection
We come to your location and examine the door, frame, hardware and alignment. Many apparent lock problems are really caused by a sagging door, a worn hinge or pivot, or a closer out of adjustment, so we check the whole assembly.
- 3
Repair or replace, explained plainly
We explain what we found and whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Worn cylinders, broken strikes, failed latches and damaged trim can often be fixed. When a mortise body or exit device is past saving, we discuss replacement options that fit your door and use.
- 4
Installation and fitting
We install the hardware with attention to backset, door prep and frame constraints, which matter a great deal on aluminum doors. Where it makes sense, we can rekey or key to your existing system so staff do not carry extra keys.
- 5
Testing and handoff
We cycle the door repeatedly, check latching, locking from both sides, and closer behavior, and make sure the door can be secured when you leave. You get the keys and a clear explanation of what was done.

What affects the price
- The type of door and hardware: storefront, aluminum-frame and mortise sets differ in complexity and parts cost.
- Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or must be fully replaced, including cylinders, latches, strikes and trim.
- Grade and finish of the replacement hardware, including corrosion-resistant finishes that suit coastal air.
- Door and frame condition, since alignment, hinge or pivot wear and closer problems can add work.
- Number of doors and keying needs, such as rekeying or keying alike across several entrances.
- Timing and urgency, including after-hours calls where the business needs to be secured right away.
Why Manhattan Beach chooses us
- Fully mobile 24/7 service: we come to your business, with no shop visit and no need to leave a door unsecured.
- Operating since 1987, with commercial hardware as part of our everyday work rather than a sideline.
- We diagnose the whole door, not just the lock, because alignment and closers are a common hidden cause.
- Experience with narrow-stile aluminum doors and mortise bodies, where the wrong part simply will not fit.
- Plain-language recommendations: we repair when repair is reasonable and say so when replacement is the better choice.
- Keying help for multi-door businesses, so owners and staff manage fewer keys.
Commercial Door Hardware across Manhattan Beach
Manhattan Beach businesses sit in a distinctive mix of settings. Around Metlox Plaza and the downtown streets near the Sand Section, shops, restaurants and offices occupy compact storefronts with glass and aluminum doors that take constant use. Closer to the Manhattan Beach Pier, The Strand and Marine Avenue, salt air and sand are hard on hinges, latches and cylinders, and we often see hardware that has stiffened or corroded long before it wears out mechanically. Corrosion-resistant finishes and periodic maintenance are worth discussing for these locations.
Further inland, commercial doors along Sepulveda Blvd, Rosecrans Ave and Aviation Blvd, as well as the retail around Manhattan Village, tend to be busier and more varied, from office suites and medical practices to service businesses in East Manhattan Beach. Properties in the 90266 ZIP code range from older buildings with original mortise locks to newer tenant improvements with modern aluminum storefronts, and each calls for a different approach.
Whether you run a business near Polliwog Park, in the Tree Section, or up toward the Hill Section, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what the door is doing and head over, any time of day or night.
