Many Pacoima businesses still run on a ring of keys that nobody can fully account for. A shop on San Fernando Road hires a few people, loses a few, and no one remembers who still has a copy of the man-door key. An access-control system fixes that problem at the source. Each person gets their own code, card or fob, and when someone leaves you cancel that one credential instead of rekeying every lock.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar has seen how different the needs are from one building to the next. A warehouse man-door beside a roll-up gate needs very different hardware from a retail suite on Van Nuys Boulevard or a small office tucked into an industrial park. We install keypad, card and fob systems for business entrances and match the hardware to the door, the traffic and the way your crew actually works.

We are mobile only. There is no storefront to visit. We come to your site, look at the door, frame and surroundings, and recommend a system that fits. You get a straight explanation of what the system will and will not do, and we make sure you know how to add and remove users before we leave.

How it works in Pacoima

  1. 1

    Talk through the entrance

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what you are protecting. Is it a warehouse man-door, a front office, a yard gate, or a retail entry? We ask how many people need access, whether hours matter, and whether you have had a theft or turnover.

  2. 2

    On-site door and frame assessment

    We come to your location and inspect the door, frame, strike area and existing hardware. Steel man-doors, aluminum storefronts and older wood doors each take readers and electrified locks differently, and we check for power and wiring routes.

  3. 3

    Choose keypad, card or fob

    A keypad suits small crews and is simple to manage. Cards and fobs give each person an individual credential that can be canceled alone. We explain the tradeoffs in plain terms and recommend the one that fits your workflow.

  4. 4

    Install the hardware

    We mount the reader or keypad, fit the electrified lock or strike, and wire the controller and power supply. Where a door needs reinforcing so the new lock works properly, we address that during the install.

  5. 5

    Program users and test

    We set up credentials for your team, test the system through repeated cycles, and confirm the door secures and releases correctly. We also check that the door can be exited safely without a credential.

  6. 6

    Hand-off and training

    We show you or your manager how to add users, remove users and change codes. When an employee leaves, you will know exactly what to do, and you can call us if you want help later.

What affects the price

  • Number of doors or entrances being controlled, since each opening needs its own reader and lock hardware.
  • Type of system chosen: a standalone keypad is a different scope than a card or fob system with a controller.
  • Door and frame material, and whether steel, aluminum or older wood needs reinforcement or special strikes.
  • Wiring and power needs, including how far the power supply sits from the door and how hard the run is to reach.
  • Number of users and credentials issued, plus any need for scheduled access hours.
  • Whether you also want existing locks rekeyed, panic hardware adjusted or a gate or roll-up door secured at the same visit.

Why Pacoima chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so installs and emergency fixes after a break-in can be handled on your schedule.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead tech, so you deal with an experienced locksmith rather than a call center.
  • We think about the whole entrance, including the door, frame and strike, not just the electronic reader.
  • We can tie access control into the rest of your security needs, like rekeying man-doors and fitting hardened padlocks on yard gates.
  • We explain options plainly and do not push a bigger system than your building needs.
  • We train you on adding and removing users before we leave, so you are not dependent on us for routine changes.

Access Control across Pacoima

Pacoima's business landscape is unusually varied. The industrial corridor along San Fernando Road is full of warehouses, auto-repair shops and recycling yards where man-doors, roll-up gates and padlocked yards all need attention. In those buildings, access control tends to solve a specific problem: too many keys in too many hands. Further along Van Nuys Boulevard, the 'Mural Mile' retail strip has storefronts and small offices with glass and aluminum entries that call for a different approach to readers and electric strikes.

We work across Pacoima's ZIP codes, including 91331 around Van Nuys Boulevard and Laurel Canyon Boulevard, as well as 91333 and 91334. Whether your business sits near Hansen Hills, close to San Fernando Gardens, or in the industrial blocks near Glenoaks Boulevard, we come to you. Quick access to I-5 and San Fernando Road means we can reach businesses across the neighborhood without a storefront anywhere.

A typical Pacoima job might be a shop that has just had a theft or lost a few employees and wants a clean slate. We can rekey the roll-up gate and man-door, add a keypad or fob reader to the main entry, and fit hardened padlocks where the yard needs them. Businesses near Whiteman Airport and around Ritchie Valens Recreation Center & Park often have different layouts, so we always look at the actual door before recommending hardware.

Access Control in Pacoima — FAQs

What kinds of access control do you install for Pacoima businesses?
We install keypad, card and fob systems for business entrances. A keypad is simple and good for small teams, while cards and fobs let you cancel individual users. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will help you pick.
Do you come to my shop or warehouse?
Yes. We are fully mobile and have no storefront, so we come to your location anywhere in Pacoima, including the San Fernando Road industrial corridor and Van Nuys Boulevard.
Can access control work on an old steel man-door at a warehouse?
Often yes, but we inspect the door and frame first. Older doors may need reinforcement or a different strike so the electrified lock works reliably and securely.
What happens when an employee quits?
With a card, fob or individual code, you delete that person's credential and nothing else changes. That is much easier than rekeying every lock, and we show you how before we finish.
Can you also rekey my roll-up gate and fit padlocks?
Yes. Many Pacoima shops pair access control with rekeying of the man-door and roll-up gate, plus hardened padlocks on yard gates. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss the full entrance.
How is the price determined?
Cost depends on the number of doors, the system type, door and frame material, wiring needs, and how many users you need. We explain the factors and the scope on site, so you know what drives the quote.
Is the door still safe to exit if the power goes out?
Safe exit is part of how we plan and test every installation. We check that people can always leave the building and explain how the lock behaves if power is interrupted.
Are you available outside normal business hours?
Yes, we are available 24/7. If a break-in leaves your entrance compromised, call (323) 997-8867 any time and we can discuss securing it and upgrading to access control.
