A business lock problem rarely waits for a convenient hour. A restaurant closes at 2 a.m. and the back door will not latch. A new manager starts Monday and nobody knows how many copies of the old keys are floating around. A warehouse off Victory Boulevard has a roll-up gate that no longer secures properly. Crenshaw Lock Company handles these situations for North Hollywood businesses, and we are fully mobile, so the work happens at your door instead of at a counter.

Our commercial work covers the hardware that keeps a working business secure: rekeying and master key systems, exit devices and panic bars, commercial deadbolts and mortise locks, storefront aluminum-door locks, door closers, lockouts, and electronic or fob-based access control. We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the work, so the experience behind a job is real rather than a sales pitch.

North Hollywood has an unusual mix of commercial buildings. There are aluminum storefronts along Lankershim and Magnolia, older converted spaces with original hardware, small offices tucked into apartment-heavy blocks, and newer mixed-use buildings with electronic access. Each one calls for a different approach, and we start by looking at what is actually on your door before recommending anything.

How it works in North Hollywood

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us the type of business, the type of door (glass storefront, steel back door, roll-up gate) and what is going wrong. That lets us bring the right hardware and pins in the first trip.

  2. 2

    We drive to your location

    Because we are fully mobile, a technician comes to your site in North Hollywood with tools and stock on board. There is no shop to visit. We confirm who is authorized to approve work on the property before we begin.

  3. 3

    Assess the hardware and the risk

    We inspect the lock, the strike, the door and the frame. A panic bar that sticks may need only adjustment, while a worn cylinder on an aluminum storefront door may need replacing. We explain the options plainly and let you choose.

  4. 4

    Repair, rekey or replace

    We do the work on site: rekeying cylinders, installing commercial-grade deadbolts, repairing exit devices, or building a master key structure so managers, staff and cleaning crews each carry only the access they need.

  5. 5

    Test everything and hand over keys

    We cycle every lock, check that doors latch and release correctly, and make sure fire-egress hardware still lets people exit freely. You get working keys and a clear idea of who holds what.

  6. 6

    Plan follow-up security

    If we noticed other weak points, such as an unprotected back door or a poorly fitted closer, we mention them without pressure so you can schedule improvements when it suits your budget.

What affects the price

  • Type of work: a simple rekey differs from repairing an exit device, installing a master key system, or adding electronic access.
  • Hardware grade and brand: commercial-grade Grade 1 deadbolts and heavy-duty exit devices cost differently than lighter hardware.
  • Number of doors and cylinders: rekeying one office door is a different scope than keying an entire building or multi-tenant space.
  • Door and frame condition: aluminum storefront stiles, warped steel doors or worn frames can add repair or adaptation work.
  • Time and urgency: after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled daytime work.
  • Access control complexity: fobs, keypads, readers and power or wiring requirements affect scope.

Why North Hollywood chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a broken lock at night does not mean an unsecured business until morning.
  • In business since 1987, with experience across offices, restaurants, retail and industrial doors.
  • Owner-led: David Shar is directly involved, so you are not passed through layers of dispatch to reach someone accountable.
  • We explain options and likely costs in terms of factors before work starts, with no pressure to buy upgrades you do not need.
  • We pay attention to life-safety hardware, making sure panic bars and egress doors still release properly after any work.
  • We work with both older mechanical systems and newer fob-based access control, which suits North Hollywood's mixed building stock.

Commercial Locksmith across North Hollywood

North Hollywood businesses range from small shops to large production-related operations. In the NoHo Arts District, restaurants, theaters and offices cluster around Lankershim Boulevard near the El Portal Theatre, and many have aluminum-framed glass doors, back-of-house service doors and exit devices that take daily abuse. A common call is a restaurant whose staff has turned over: the panic bar needs repair, and the back doors should be rekeyed or placed on a master key system so former employees no longer hold working keys.

Further along Magnolia Boulevard and toward North Hollywood West and Toluca Woods, you find a blend of small storefronts, professional offices and older buildings with hardware that has been in place for decades. Near the North Hollywood Metro Station, where the B Line ends and the G Line busway runs, newer mixed-use buildings often use fob readers and multipoint locks, and those need a different skill set than a traditional storefront deadbolt. Warehouses and light industrial sites near Vineland Avenue and Victory Boulevard may also need gate locks, high-security cylinders and controlled keying.

We serve ZIP codes including 91601, 91602, 91605, 91606 and 91607, and approach from US-101 or SR-170 as needed. If you manage a business anywhere in North Hollywood and your locks are failing, or you simply want to know who holds keys, call (323) 997-8867.

Commercial Locksmith in North Hollywood — FAQs

Do you offer commercial locksmith service at night in North Hollywood?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so we can come to your business after closing. Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the problem.
Can you rekey my restaurant after staff turnover?
Yes. Rekeying the back-of-house and entry cylinders makes old keys useless. We can also set up a master key system so managers and staff carry only the access they need.
Can you repair a panic bar or exit device?
Often, yes. Many exit devices only need adjustment or part replacement. We also check that the door still releases freely for safe egress. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe the issue.
What is a master key system and do I need one?
It lets different keys open different sets of locks, with a top-level key for owners or managers. It suits multi-door offices, restaurants and warehouses where staff need varying access.
Do you work on aluminum storefront doors?
Yes. Storefront doors along Lankershim and Magnolia often use narrow-stile aluminum frames with specific lock types, and we can repair, rekey or replace the hardware.
Can you install electronic or fob access control?
We can discuss keypad and fob-based systems for suitable doors. The right setup depends on the door, power availability and how many people need access.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are mobile only, so every job happens at your location. This also means we can respond directly to the door that needs attention.
How is commercial work priced?
Cost depends on the type of work, hardware grade, number of doors, door condition and timing. We explain these factors before starting. For a conversation about your site, call (323) 997-8867.
