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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
