San Fernando is a small city with a big commercial personality. Along San Fernando Road, Truman Street and the San Fernando Mall, many businesses operate out of early-1900s brick buildings with original storefront doors, transoms and hardware that has been patched, painted over and swapped piecemeal for decades. When a latch sticks, a closer slams, or a lock stops turning, the fix is rarely as simple as buying a new knob.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and David Shar and our team have worked on every common type of commercial opening: narrow-stile aluminum storefront doors, wider-stile glass doors, wood doors with mortise locksets, and the occasional old door that predates modern hardware standards. We diagnose what is actually failing, whether that is the lock body, the strike, the pivots, the closer, the exit device or the door alignment, and repair or replace only what needs it.

We are mobile only. There is no shop to drive to. We bring tools and common hardware to your door, whether you run a shop downtown, an office near City Hall, or a small business off Maclay Avenue or Brand Boulevard. Because we are available around the clock, a door that will not secure at night does not have to mean a sleepless night or an unprotected storefront.

How it works in San Fernando

  1. 1

    Call and describe the door

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door it is: aluminum storefront, glass, wood with a mortise lock, or something older. Tell us what is happening, such as a sticking latch, a key that will not turn, or a door that will not close. Photos of the hardware help us arrive prepared.

  2. 2

    Inspect the whole opening

    We look beyond the lock. Hardware problems on older storefronts often come from a sagging door, worn pivots, a misaligned strike or a failing closer. We check how the door hangs and closes, because a new lock on a door that binds will fail again soon.

  3. 3

    Explain the options before work begins

    We explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense and what each involves. On historic downtown buildings we talk through preserving original character where practical, along with modern security and any property-owner or landlord requirements.

  4. 4

    Repair or replace the hardware

    We service or replace mortise locksets, storefront deadlocks, thumbturns, push-pull sets, exit devices, strikes and closers as needed, fitting parts to the existing door prep when possible so the frame and glass are disturbed as little as possible.

  5. 5

    Rekey or key as needed

    After an ownership change, an employee departure or lost keys, we can rekey the new or existing hardware so old keys stop working, and set up keys for the people who actually need them.

  6. 6

    Test and hand over

    We cycle the lock and door repeatedly, confirm the latch seats cleanly, and make sure the door closes and secures on its own. You leave with a door that locks properly and a clear understanding of what was done.

What affects the price

  • The type of door and frame: narrow-stile aluminum, glass, or wood with a mortise pocket each call for different hardware and labor.
  • Whether the job is a repair or a full replacement, and how many components (lock body, strike, closer, pivots, exit device) are involved.
  • The grade and style of hardware chosen, from standard commercial sets to heavier-duty or specialty hardware matched to an older building.
  • Condition and alignment of the door and frame, since worn or sagging openings may need adjustment in addition to new hardware.
  • Whether rekeying, master keying or multiple keyed-alike doors are part of the work.
  • Time of day and urgency, since after-hours and emergency calls are handled differently than scheduled work.

Why San Fernando chooses us

  • Experience with older commercial openings: transom-era storefronts, early mortise hardware and aluminum frames that have been modified over the years.
  • Fully mobile service, so repairs happen at your door without you leaving a vulnerable storefront to go find parts.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a door will not lock at closing time or has been damaged overnight.
  • In business since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician overseeing the work.
  • We diagnose the whole opening and tell you plainly when a lock swap will not solve the actual problem.
  • Rekeying after an ownership or staffing change is a routine part of our work, not an upsell.

Commercial Door Hardware across San Fernando

Downtown San Fernando is one of the more walkable commercial districts in the northeast Valley area, and its character comes from the older buildings. Along the San Fernando Mall and the corners of Truman Street and San Fernando Road, brick storefronts with transoms and aging entry doors are common. When a business changes hands, as happens regularly in a downtown like this, the existing lock is often a mystery: unknown keys, worn cylinders, and hardware that has been repaired a few times over. We help new owners get these doors secure and rekeyed in the 91340 area.

San Fernando is its own city of roughly two and a half square miles, entirely surrounded by Los Angeles, and it is easy to reach by road from I-5, CA-118, Maclay Avenue and Brand Boulevard. That compact layout means we can serve businesses downtown, around City Hall and the Lopez Adobe area, and those closer to the neighborhoods near Las Palmas Park and the Layne Park and Recreation Park area.

While this page is about commercial hardware, we also see the same older-building challenges at homes and mixed-use properties, such as early-1900s bungalows near Las Palmas Park with original mortise or skeleton-key locks. If you are not sure whether your door counts as commercial or residential, call (323) 997-8867 and we will sort it out together.

Commercial Door Hardware in San Fernando — FAQs

Can you repair hardware on the older storefront doors downtown?
Yes. We work on older mortise locksets, aluminum storefront hardware and transom-era doors. Where parts are worn, we repair or replace them and fit new hardware to the existing door prep when we can. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your door.
We just bought a business on the San Fernando Mall. Should we rekey?
In most cases yes. After an ownership change you cannot know who holds copies of the old keys. We can rekey or replace the cylinders so only your keys work, and repair any worn hardware at the same visit.
Do you offer 24/7 service for a storefront that will not lock?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. If your door will not secure, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through the situation and get help moving.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only. We come to your business in San Fernando with tools and common hardware so the work happens at your door.
What commercial door types do you handle?
Aluminum-frame storefront doors, glass doors, wood doors with mortise locks, and related hardware such as exit devices, closers, strikes and push-pull sets.
Is it better to repair or replace old hardware?
It depends on condition and availability of parts. Sometimes a repair or adjustment solves it, especially if the door is misaligned. Other times worn mortise or storefront hardware is best replaced. We explain both options before starting.
Can you work on a door while preserving the building's original look?
Often, yes. We try to keep original doors and fit compatible hardware so the character of older downtown buildings is preserved while security improves. Landlord or historic requirements are worth confirming first.
Do you also handle residential lockouts in San Fernando?
Yes. San Fernando is fully reachable by road, and we assist with residential lockouts and lock upgrades as well. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
