A business lock problem rarely waits for convenient hours. A glass door that will not latch at closing, a key that disappeared with a former employee, or a back door forced open overnight all leave a building exposed. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our commercial work in North Hills follows the same practical approach: come to the site, look at the actual hardware, and fix the problem in a way that fits how the business operates.

North Hills is a mix of commercial strips, apartment properties and small industrial users. Along Nordhoff Street, Roscoe Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard you find many aluminum-frame storefronts with glass doors. Those doors commonly rely on Adams Rite-style deadlatches and narrow-stile hardware, which wear in particular ways and are targeted in particular ways during break-in attempts. We know that hardware and bring parts and tools suited to it.

We are mobile only. There is no shop to visit, which means our work happens where your door is: at the storefront, the office suite, the warehouse roll-up, or the leasing office of a garden-apartment complex. Owner and lead tech David Shar built the company on doing the job properly the first time, and we explain what we find and what your options are before we start.

How it works in North Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the type of door, the lock hardware if you know it, and whether this is a lockout, a damaged lock, or a planned upgrade. We are available 24/7, so a call at night or on a holiday is handled the same way.

  2. 2

    Meet us at the property

    Our technician drives to your North Hills location. Because we are fully mobile, everything needed for typical commercial work arrives with us, and we confirm you are authorized to make changes to the premises before we begin.

  3. 3

    Inspect the hardware and the damage

    We look at the door, frame, latch and cylinder. After an attempted break-in, we check for bent strike plates, damaged deadlatches and frame deformation, not just the visible lock, so a quick fix does not leave a weak point.

  4. 4

    Repair, replace or rekey

    Depending on what we find, we open the door without unnecessary damage, replace worn or compromised hardware, or rekey cylinders so old keys no longer work. For multi-unit or multi-door sites we can set up a master-key structure.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    We cycle every lock several times with the door open and closed, confirm the latch engages the strike cleanly, and hand over working keys. We also talk through key control so you know who holds what.

What affects the price

  • Type of hardware: standard cylinders, aluminum-storefront deadlatches and high-security cylinders each involve different parts and labor.
  • Scope of the job: a single lockout differs from rekeying many doors or building out a master-key system across a property.
  • Condition of the door and frame: bent frames, misaligned strikes or damage from a forced entry can add repair work beyond the lock itself.
  • Time of service: after-hours, weekend and holiday calls may be priced differently than scheduled daytime work.
  • Key quantity and type: the number of keys cut and whether they are restricted or standard affects the total.
  • Location and access: how complex it is to reach and work on the door, such as rear entries or secured enclosures, can influence the job.

Why North Hills chooses us

  • Serving the region since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, directly involved in the work.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so service happens at your door rather than at a counter.
  • Familiarity with aluminum-storefront hardware common on Nordhoff, Roscoe and Sepulveda, including Adams Rite-style deadlatches.
  • Experience with multifamily rekeys and master-key planning, which suits the apartment stock in North Hills East.
  • We explain findings and options plainly before work starts, and we do not quote dollar amounts over the phone that we cannot back up.
  • Repairs consider the door and frame as a system, so a replaced lock actually restores security.

Commercial Locksmith across North Hills

North Hills sits in the San Fernando Valley and is served by ZIP code 91343. It was once known as Sepulveda and grew out of the Mission Acres agricultural tract into postwar suburban neighborhoods. That history shows in the buildings: North Hills West is mostly 1950s and 60s single-family tract homes, while North Hills East is denser, with many 1960s and 70s dingbat and garden-apartment buildings and steady tenant turnover.

That split shapes the commercial work we see. In North Hills East, property managers often need several units rekeyed after a wave of move-outs, along with a master-key system so staff can access units without carrying a ring of mismatched keys. Mailbox and cluster-box locks come up as well. Along Nordhoff Street, Roscoe Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard, small businesses with aluminum-frame glass doors may need a worn or tampered deadlatch replaced and the cylinder rekeyed, especially after an attempted break-in.

We work throughout the area, whether your site is near the VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center, close to North Hills Community Park, or just off the I-405 and Devonshire Street. Even near the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area or the border with Northridge and California State University, Northridge, the process is the same: call (323) 997-8867 and we come to you.
