A key that has been copied a dozen times is not much of a security plan. For Santa Clarita businesses, from small offices in Old Town Newhall to warehouses and suites around Valencia, access control replaces that guesswork with a system that decides who can enter, and lets you change that decision without rekeying a single door.
Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen how access control goes right and wrong. The systems that work well are matched to the door, the people using it and the way the business actually operates. The ones that disappoint are usually bought off a shelf and bolted onto a door that was never prepared for them.
We install keypad, card and fob systems for business entrances. We are mobile only, with no storefront, so every job begins with a conversation about your doors and ends with a working system at your location. We do not quote anything before understanding what you are protecting.
How it works in Santa Clarita
- 1
Talk through the entrance and the users
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us about the door: glass storefront, steel warehouse door, or suite entry. We ask who needs access, whether that changes by shift or role, and whether you need to remove someone quickly when they leave.
- 2
Assess the door, frame and hardware
Because we are mobile, we look at the door in person. We check the frame, the existing lock or exit device, door closer and whether power can reach the door. The best electronic reader fails if the door does not latch properly.
- 3
Choose keypad, card or fob
Keypads suit small teams and are simple to run. Cards and fobs suit larger groups because a lost credential can be disabled without affecting anyone else. We explain the tradeoffs so you choose what fits your staff.
- 4
Install and wire the system
We mount the reader, install the electric strike or locking hardware, and connect power and controls. Where a door has a panic bar or exit device, we make sure people can always leave safely.
- 5
Program credentials and test
We set up codes, cards or fobs, then test every one on the actual door, including the exit path and the way the door behaves when it closes behind you.
- 6
Walk you through day-to-day use
Before we leave, we show you how to add and remove users and what to do if a credential is lost, so you are not dependent on us for routine changes.

What affects the price
- The number of doors being controlled, since each entrance needs its own reader and locking hardware.
- The type of credential chosen: keypad, card or fob, and how many users need them.
- The door and frame condition, including whether the existing door can hold electric hardware or needs repair first.
- Whether power and wiring already reach the door or must be run to it.
- The locking method, such as an electric strike or magnetic lock, and any exit device or panic bar involved.
- Whether the job is scheduled in business hours or is an urgent after-hours call.
Why Santa Clarita chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, so we handle the job at your door rather than asking you to visit a shop.
- Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
- We treat the door as part of the system, checking latching, frames and exit devices rather than just mounting a reader.
- Honest recommendations on keypad versus card versus fob based on your team, not on what is easiest to sell.
- Experience with both lock hardware and electronics, so mechanical and access-control issues get solved in one visit.
- We teach you to manage users yourself so routine changes do not require a service call.
Access Control across Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita is spread across several distinct commercial areas, and each tends to need something different. Offices and shops in Old Town Newhall and along Sierra Highway often have older doors and frames that need a careful look before electronic hardware goes on. In Valencia, businesses near Valencia Blvd, Newhall Ranch Rd and the Westfield Valencia Town Center area often want clean, professional entries for multi-person teams, where cards or fobs make sense.
We also understand the industrial side. A warehouse door near Valencia's industrial areas, in ZIP 91355, may rely on a panic bar or exit device that has to keep working while access control is added. Safe exit always comes first, and we plan the hardware around it. Out in Canyon Country and Saugus, gated communities and HOA-managed properties have their own pedestrian gates and keypad or fob needs, and we can work with those entrances too.
Whether your business is in 91350, 91351, 91321 or 91387, or somewhere off I-5, CA-14 or Soledad Canyon Rd, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour, and we will talk through what your entrance needs.
