A panic bar is the one piece of hardware on a commercial building that has to work perfectly on the worst day. It lets people leave quickly by pushing, with no key, no knob and no thinking, while still keeping the door secure against entry from outside. In Paramount, where small manufacturers, warehouses, retail storefronts and busy swap-meet operations all sit within a few miles of each other, that balance between security and safe exit shows up in a lot of different doors.

Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar leads the work. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We come to your shop, warehouse, office or retail space, look at the door, and install or repair the exit hardware on site.

Whether you are replacing a worn rim-type exit device on a rear door, fitting a new panic bar to a back exit at a Paramount Boulevard business, or fixing a latch that no longer retracts cleanly, the goal is the same: a door that opens easily from inside and stays secure from outside. We can also pair the exit device with the right outside trim or cylinder so your staff can still come and go with a key.

How it works in Paramount

  1. 1

    Tell us about the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the opening: single or double door, metal, wood or aluminum storefront, and whether it is an existing device that is failing or a brand-new installation. Photos of the door and any existing hardware help us plan the right parts.

  2. 2

    On-site assessment

    We come to your location and look at the door's material, thickness, hinges, frame and swing direction. We check how the door is used, whether it is a main exit, a rear exit from a shop floor, or a secondary door, so the device matches the job.

  3. 3

    Choose the right exit device

    We go over options such as rim devices, vertical rod devices for double doors, and trim choices on the outside, such as a keyed cylinder, lever or blank plate. We explain what each does so you can decide with clear information.

  4. 4

    Installation and alignment

    We mount the device, fit the strike, and align everything so the latch retracts smoothly with a single push. On metal doors this can include drilling and fastening through the door skin, and on aluminum storefront doors we use hardware suited to the narrow stile.

  5. 5

    Function testing

    We test the push action repeatedly, confirm the door latches on closing, and check that the outside trim or key operates as intended. If the door has a closer, we make sure it is not fighting the latch.

  6. 6

    Walkthrough and care tips

    We show you how the device works and what to watch for, such as sticking latches, loose mounting screws or a door that no longer closes fully. We explain when to call us before a small issue becomes a failure.

What affects the price

  • The type of exit device: a basic rim device costs differently than a vertical rod device for a pair of doors or a heavier-duty model.
  • Door material and condition: steel, wood and aluminum storefront doors each need different mounting methods, and a damaged or warped door may need extra work.
  • Whether you need a new installation or a repair or replacement of an existing device, since removal and prep of old hardware adds labor.
  • Outside trim and keying: a keyed cylinder, a lever trim or a blank plate, and whether the cylinder should be keyed to match other locks in your building.
  • Number of doors in the job, since several openings in one visit are handled more efficiently than scattered separate trips.
  • Timing and access: after-hours or urgent calls may be priced differently from scheduled work, and difficult access or a door that is hard to reach can affect labor.

Why Paramount chooses us

  • Mobile only and available 24/7, so we come to your Paramount business instead of asking you to bring a door anywhere.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar leading the work, so you get an experienced locksmith rather than a rotating call-center dispatch.
  • We match the device to how the door is actually used, from a shop-floor rear exit to a retail storefront, instead of selling one hardware type for everything.
  • We explain the difference between security and safe exit plainly, so you understand what each choice does for your staff and customers.
  • We can pair exit hardware with other commercial lock work in the same visit, such as rekeying, gate latches or padlocks for a yard.

Panic Bar Installation across Paramount

Paramount grew from the historic Clearwater and Hynes communities, and today it mixes post-war neighborhoods with a working industrial base along the rail and I-710 corridors. That means a lot of commercial doors that see daily use: metal shops, fabrication buildings and warehouses near the Long Beach Freeway, plus retail and service businesses along the Paramount Boulevard corridor and the Paramount Boulevard business district. Exit hardware on these doors takes real wear from carts, deliveries and heavy foot traffic.

For a fabrication shop in the 90723 ZIP code, a rear exit door often needs a sturdy device that opens easily from the shop floor but stays locked against anyone outside, especially after a theft or break-in attempt. For a retailer on Paramount Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue or Alondra Boulevard, a back-of-house exit may need a device that works smoothly with a busy stockroom. Businesses near the Paramount Swap Meet and Progress Park often have storefront or booth-area doors with their own hardware needs.

We reach Paramount from I-710, SR-91 and the main surface streets including Somerset and Lakewood Boulevards. Because we are mobile and available around the clock, you can call (323) 997-8867 whether your exit device is failing during business hours or you need a door secured and working again overnight.

Panic Bar Installation in Paramount — FAQs

What exactly is a panic bar?
A panic bar, also called an exit device, is a push-style bar on the inside of a door that releases the latch when pressed. It lets people leave quickly without a key or knob, while the outside remains locked or controlled. Call (323) 997-8867 if you need one installed.
Do you install panic bars on both metal and storefront doors in Paramount?
Yes. We work on steel and wood doors as well as aluminum storefront doors. Each has different mounting needs, so we assess the door first and choose hardware suited to it.
Can you repair a panic bar that sticks or won't latch?
Often, yes. Sticking, loose mounting, misaligned strikes and worn parts are common causes. We inspect it on site and repair it if that makes sense, or recommend replacement if the device is worn out.
Are you available after hours for a failed exit door?
Yes, we are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If an exit door will not latch or secure your building, call (323) 997-8867 and we will help get it working.
Can the outside of the door still use a key?
Usually. Many exit devices can be paired with outside trim such as a keyed cylinder or lever so staff can enter with a key. We can also key the cylinder to match your other locks.
Do you handle a whole building with several exit doors?
Yes. We can assess multiple openings in one visit and match each device to its door and use, which is useful for warehouses, shops and multi-door retail spaces.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No, we are mobile only. We come to your Paramount location, so there is no storefront. Call (323) 997-8867 to arrange a visit.
Can you combine panic bar work with other security upgrades?
Yes. While on site we can also help with items like rekeying, heavy-duty padlocks or gate latches for a material yard, so you can address several security needs in a single visit.
