Running a business in Sherman Oaks means your doors work hard. Along the Ventura Boulevard corridor, storefronts open and close all day, staff come and go, and a single lost key or a departed manager can turn into a real security question. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and commercial lock work has been part of that story from the start.

Our service is fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; owner and lead technician David Shar and our team bring the tools and hardware to your door, whether that is an aluminum-storefront entry near the Sherman Oaks Galleria, a back-of-house door at a restaurant, or a rolling gate at a warehouse. We are available around the clock, which matters when a lock fails at closing time or a break-in leaves a door unsecured overnight.

Commercial work is different from residential. Doors are used heavily, fire and egress codes shape what hardware you can use, and many businesses need keys organized by employee or department. We approach each job by asking what you are protecting, who needs access, and how to keep that control simple to manage over time.

How it works in Sherman Oaks

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Reach us at (323) 997-8867 at any hour. Tell us what type of door and lock you have, what happened, and whether the business is currently secure. We will tell you what we can do and what to expect before we head out.

  2. 2

    On-site assessment

    We look at the door, frame, hardware and how the space is used. For a storefront this often means checking the Adams Rite style lock, the pivots and the panic device, plus whether the door closes and latches properly.

  3. 3

    Clear options before work begins

    We explain whether rekeying, repair or replacement makes the most sense, and discuss pricing factors openly. You approve the plan before we start.

  4. 4

    Rekey, repair or install

    We carry out the work on site: rekeying cylinders, servicing or replacing panic hardware, fitting high-security cylinders, or installing electronic and keypad access. Work is tested so doors lock, latch and release as they should.

  5. 5

    Key control and handoff

    We cut and label keys, help you decide who gets which key, and explain how to request more later. If you use restricted keyways, we explain how duplication is controlled.

  6. 6

    Follow-up guidance

    We point out any worn hardware, door alignment issues or code concerns we noticed, so you can plan upgrades without pressure.

What affects the price

  • The type of work: rekeying existing cylinders is a different job from replacing hardware or installing electronic access control.
  • The hardware involved, such as standard commercial cylinders versus high-security systems like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, or panic devices and storefront locks.
  • The number of doors, locks and keys, since a multi-door office or warehouse takes more time and materials than a single entry.
  • Condition of the door and frame, including alignment problems or worn parts that must be corrected for the lock to work properly.
  • Time and urgency, including after-hours or emergency calls when the business must be secured right away.
  • Complexity of access control, such as keypads, gate integration or reprogramming existing systems.

Why Sherman Oaks chooses us

  • Serving the Los Angeles area since 1987, with an owner-led operation under David Shar rather than a call-center dispatch.
  • Fully mobile, so the work happens at your business and there is no shop visit or leaving your doors unattended.
  • Experience with aluminum-storefront hardware, panic devices and high-security cylinders common on Ventura Boulevard and in upscale local properties.
  • Available 24/7, which suits restaurants, retail and offices that cannot always schedule lock work during business hours.
  • Plain explanations of options and pricing factors before work starts, without upselling hardware you do not need.
  • Attention to key control, so a manager leaving or a lost key does not leave you guessing who can still get in.

Commercial Locksmith across Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks is a business district with very different settings. Along Ventura Boulevard and around the Sherman Oaks Galleria district at Ventura and Sepulveda, many tenants operate behind aluminum-framed glass doors with Adams Rite style locks and panic hardware. Restaurants and boutiques near the Galleria and Westfield Fashion Square often call us after staff changes, when rekeying is the cleanest way to restore control. In ZIP code 91403, offices and shops line the main corridors, and in 91423 we see a similar mix of commercial and residential-adjacent properties.

The area also includes gated and high-value properties that need business-grade thinking. South of the Boulevard, in the Santa Monica Mountains hillsides near Fryman Canyon, estates may combine high-security Medeco or Mul-T-Lock cylinders with driveway gate keypads that need reprogramming. In Chandler Estates, owners of valuable homes after a purchase sometimes want smart locks installed and everything rekeyed. We handle that kind of access control work as well as standard commercial service.

Getting around Sherman Oaks means working with Ventura, Sepulveda and Van Nuys Boulevards and the I-405 and US-101 interchanges. As a mobile service available at all hours, we plan our routes around those roads so we can reach businesses across the neighborhood, from the valley floor to the hillside edge.

Commercial Locksmith in Sherman Oaks — FAQs

Do you offer commercial locksmith service in Sherman Oaks at night?
Yes. We are 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, including nights, weekends and holidays, and we will help secure your business.
Can you rekey my Ventura Boulevard storefront after a manager leaves?
Yes. Rekeying the storefront lock, such as an Adams Rite style lock, makes old keys useless without replacing the whole door hardware. We can also check your panic hardware at the same visit.
Do you work on panic bars and exit devices?
Yes. We can service, adjust, repair or replace panic hardware, and we can check that the door latches and releases correctly. If a device is worn or misaligned, we will explain your options.
Can you install high-security locks like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock?
Yes. We fit high-security cylinders for businesses and private estates. These offer restricted keyways and stronger resistance, and we explain how key duplication is controlled.
Can you reprogram a gate keypad or access control system?
We can work on driveway gate keypads and similar access systems, including reprogramming codes after a change in staff or ownership. Call (323) 997-8867 to describe your system.
Do I need to visit your shop?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is mobile only. We come to your Sherman Oaks location with the tools and parts needed for most jobs.
How is commercial pricing determined?
Pricing depends on factors such as the type of work, hardware, number of doors, door condition and time of day. We discuss these with you before starting so there are no surprises.
Do you handle smart locks for homes as well as businesses?
Yes. We install, troubleshoot and rekey smart locks, including for high-value homes in areas like Chandler Estates. Call (323) 997-8867 for a conversation about your needs.
