A commercial door works harder than almost anything else in a building. A restaurant door on Ventura Boulevard may open hundreds of times a day, and a boutique near the Galleria may swing its front door from morning until closing. Over time, closers lose their spring, pivots wear, latches stop catching, and panic bars begin to stick. Crenshaw Lock Company repairs and replaces that hardware for Sherman Oaks businesses, with a focus on storefront, aluminum-frame and mortise doors.
We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar has seen most of the ways commercial hardware fails. Our work is fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring tools and common parts to your door, inspect what is actually wrong, and tell you whether a repair makes sense or the hardware should be replaced.
The work is not only about broken parts. Often a business calls because something changed: a manager left, keys went missing, a door no longer latches reliably, or an insurance or fire inspection flagged an exit device. We handle the hardware side of those situations, from rekeying an aluminum-storefront lock to checking that panic hardware releases as it should.
How it works in Sherman Oaks
- 1
Describe the door and the problem
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us whether the door is aluminum-frame glass, a wood or hollow-metal door with a mortise lock, or something else, and what it is doing: not latching, key will not turn, bar sticking, or door not closing fully.
- 2
On-site inspection
We come to your location and check the lockset, strike, hinges or pivots, closer, and any exit device. Many latching complaints turn out to be alignment or wear rather than a failed lock, so we look at the whole door.
- 3
Repair or replace recommendation
We explain what we found in plain terms. If a repair will hold up, we say so. If the hardware is worn out or mismatched to the door, we describe the replacement options before any work begins.
- 4
Hardware work and rekeying
We repair or install the hardware, whether that is an Adams Rite-style storefront lock, a mortise cylinder, or a panic device. If keys are a concern, such as after a manager departs, we rekey cylinders so old keys no longer work.
- 5
Function test and handoff
We cycle the door repeatedly, test the lock from both sides, confirm panic hardware releases freely, and make sure the door closes and secures properly. You receive working keys and a clear summary of what was done.

What affects the price
- The type of hardware involved: a simple storefront latch, a mortise lock body, and a full panic exit device differ widely in parts and labor.
- Repair versus replacement: adjusting or rebuilding existing hardware usually involves different parts and time than installing new units.
- The door and frame material and condition, since narrow aluminum stiles and worn frames can limit which hardware fits and how much prep is needed.
- Rekeying scope, including how many cylinders, how many doors, and whether you want a master key or restricted keyway.
- Whether the call is during normal hours or an after-hours or emergency visit, since we are available 24/7.
- Parts availability for older or specialty hardware, which can affect whether a part can be sourced quickly or must be ordered.
Why Sherman Oaks chooses us
- Fully mobile service: we work at your door instead of asking you to bring hardware anywhere, and there is no retail counter to visit.
- In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar bringing long experience to commercial storefront and mortise work.
- Familiarity with the aluminum-storefront and Adams Rite-style hardware common along Ventura Boulevard businesses.
- We check the full door, not only the lock, because closers, pivots, and strikes are often the real cause of a problem.
- Honest repair-or-replace advice: if a part can be fixed reliably, we do not push a full replacement.
- 24/7 availability for situations like a door that will not secure at closing time or a lockout after a staffing change.
Commercial Door Hardware across Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks has a busy commercial spine in the Ventura Boulevard corridor, lined with restaurants, boutiques, offices, and service businesses. Around the Sherman Oaks Galleria district at Ventura and Sepulveda, and toward Westfield Fashion Square, many storefronts use aluminum-frame glass doors with narrow-stile locks and panic hardware. Businesses in ZIP codes 91403 and 91423 call us for exactly that type of work.
A common scenario is a restaurant or boutique near the Galleria that needs its aluminum-storefront lock rekeyed and its panic hardware checked after a manager leaves. Handing back keys is rarely enough to feel secure, so we rekey the cylinders and confirm the exit device still works correctly. We also see wear on busy doors from constant daily use, and we reach shops from Van Nuys Boulevard to Sepulveda Boulevard with easy access via the I-405 and US-101.
Our work is not limited to the flats. Offices and small commercial properties near the hillside edge toward Fryman Canyon, and mixed-use buildings close to Sherman Oaks Castle Park, may have older mortise hardware that needs attention. Because we are mobile, wherever your Sherman Oaks door is, we come to it, day or night.
