Mission Hills is not a place where one access control setup fits every door. Along Sepulveda Boulevard you find small storefronts and professional offices. Near Providence Holy Cross Medical Center there is a cluster of medical and professional suites. Around the historic Mission district, older buildings and converted properties sit beside quiet residential streets. Each of these has different needs when it comes to who can come in, when, and how you take that access away again.
Access control replaces the ordinary key problem with something you can manage. Instead of wondering who still has a copy of the front door key after a staff change, you can issue a code, a card or a fob to each person and cancel it when they leave. Depending on the system, you can also give different people different access, such as front door only for part-time staff and the supply room for a manager.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are mobile only, with no storefront to visit. We come to your Mission Hills business, look at the doors and frames, and recommend hardware that suits the building and how you use it, rather than the most complicated option on the shelf.
How it works in Mission Hills
- 1
Talk through what you need
We start with a call to (323) 997-8867. Tell us what kind of business you run, how many entrances you want to control, and how many people need access. A medical office with staff turnover has different needs from a small shop with two employees.

Look at the doors on site
Because we are fully mobile, we come to you and examine each door: material, thickness, frame condition, the existing lockset, and what power or wiring is available nearby. Older commercial frontage and converted buildings often have surprises, and it is better to find them before installation.

Choose the right type of system
We explain the practical difference between keypad, card and fob systems. Keypads are simple but codes can be shared. Cards and fobs let you cancel one person without affecting anyone else. Some doors suit a standalone reader, while others are better served by a more connected system.

Install and secure the hardware
We mount the reader or keypad, fit the electric strike or lockset that releases the door, and make sure the door still closes and latches properly. We pay attention to how the door behaves in daily use and keep egress in mind, so people can always leave safely.
- 5
Program users and test everything
We set up codes, cards or fobs for your people and test each one at the door. We check that the door locks behind users, that the release works as expected, and that nothing sticks in different weather or at different times of day.
- 6
Show you how to manage it
We walk you through adding and removing users, so the next staff change is a quick task rather than a rekey. If you want ongoing support or to add more doors later, you know who to call, any hour of the day.

What affects the price
- The number of doors being controlled, since each entrance needs its own reader or keypad and its own release hardware.
- The type of system chosen: a simple standalone keypad is a different job from card or fob readers managed across several doors.
- Door and frame condition and material, as metal, wood and glass storefront doors each call for different mounting and strike solutions.
- Wiring and power needs, including whether power is already near the door or has to be run to it.
- How many users you need to set up and whether they need different levels of access.
- Whether existing locks need to be rekeyed, repaired or replaced as part of the installation, and the hour at which you need the work done.
Why Mission Hills chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, so installation and urgent door problems can be handled at your business without a trip to a shop.
- In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so experience with older buildings comes from years of actual door work.
- We recommend what fits your doors and your staff rather than pushing the most elaborate system.
- We handle the mechanical side as well as the electronic side: rekeying, deadbolts, strikes and door hardware, so you deal with one company.
- We explain how to run the system yourself, so you are not dependent on us for every small change.
- We are comfortable working in older and historic-adjacent buildings where hardware should be fitted carefully and without needless damage to the door.
Access Control across Mission Hills
Mission Hills has a distinct mix of old and new. The Historic Mission district around Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana and the Andres Pico Adobe, documented as the second-oldest residence in Los Angeles, brings a lot of history, and businesses and offices nearby often occupy older structures where hardware needs to be installed sympathetically. Dennis Park, a historic tract, has the same kind of character. We take care with older doors and frames so that an access control upgrade does not cost a building its charm.
Commercial activity concentrates along the Sepulveda Boulevard corridor, with additional frontage along San Fernando Mission Boulevard and Brand Boulevard. Small retailers, service businesses and professional offices here often want a simple way to control staff entrances, back doors and supply rooms. Near Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, medical and professional offices frequently need to manage access as staff change, and a card or fob system can make that far easier than reissuing keys. We can also handle commercial rekeying and a simple master-key setup for suites that do not need a full electronic system.
Whether your business is in 91345 near the Mission, close to the CA-118 (Ronald Reagan Fwy), or along one of the main boulevards, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what makes sense for your building.
