A business door has to do more than keep people out. It has to open reliably for employees at six in the morning, release for customers and exiting staff during the day, and stay secure when the last person leaves. When a storefront lock sticks, a panic bar stops latching, or a key goes missing after an employee departs, the problem is rarely a convenience issue. It is an open front door, a closed shop, or a liability.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar and our team bring that experience to Simi Valley commercial properties. We are fully mobile: we have no storefront for you to visit, so every job happens at your location, whether that is a unit in a strip center, an office in a business park, or a roll-up and personnel door at a warehouse.

Our commercial work covers the hardware most Simi Valley businesses actually run: aluminum storefront locks, commercial mortise cylinders, panic and exit devices, office and suite door locks, rekeying, key control, and lockouts. We answer calls around the clock, because commercial lock failures do not keep business hours.

How it works in Simi Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone us at (323) 997-8867 and tell us what kind of door it is: aluminum storefront, hollow metal back door, glass office entry, or roll-up. Tell us what is wrong, such as a jammed cylinder, a panic bar that will not retract, or a lost key. That helps us bring suitable parts and tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm who is authorized

    Before opening or changing any lock, we ask you to show you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. For leased units, that may mean confirming with the property manager. This protects you and the building from someone else gaining access.

  3. 3

    Assess the hardware on site

    We inspect the lock, strike, latch, door closer and frame. On commercial doors, a lock that seems broken is often a misaligned door, a worn closer, or a bent strike. We tell you what we find before we start so you know whether the fix is a repair, an adjustment or a replacement.

  4. 4

    Open, repair or replace

    When a lockout is the issue, we work to open the door without damaging it where possible. For failing hardware, we repair or replace the cylinder, mortise body, panic device or latch, and we make sure the door closes, latches and releases the way it should.

  5. 5

    Rekey or restructure keys when needed

    After staff turnover, a tenant change, or lost keys, we can rekey locks so old keys stop working. We can also discuss key control, such as keeping separate keys for different areas, so access matches how your business really runs.

  6. 6

    Test and walk you through it

    We test every door we touch several times, check the exit function on panic hardware, and hand over working keys. Before we leave, we point out anything else on the door that may need attention soon.

What affects the price

  • The type of hardware: a standard cylinder rekey is a different job from replacing a commercial mortise lock body or a full panic exit device.
  • Whether the door is repairable or needs replacement parts, including cylinders, strikes, closers or exit device trim.
  • How many doors or locks are involved, since rekeying one office is not the same as rekeying a whole suite or building.
  • The condition of the door and frame, because aluminum storefront stiles are narrow and a misaligned or damaged door can add work.
  • Time of day and urgency, as after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled daytime work.
  • Key system requirements, such as master keying, restricted keyways, or key control for multiple staff or tenants.

Why Simi Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your shop, office or warehouse, so you do not need to leave a door unsecured to get help.
  • Available 24/7, which matters for businesses that discover a broken lock at closing time or find a door damaged in the morning.
  • In business since 1987 in Los Angeles and Ventura County, with owner David Shar involved in the work.
  • Experience with the hardware common in this area, including storefront locks, mortise cylinders and panic bars found in strip retail and business parks.
  • We explain whether a problem is the lock or the door itself, so you are not paying to replace hardware that only needed adjustment.
  • We verify authorization before opening or rekeying, which protects tenants, owners and property managers alike.

Commercial Locksmith across Simi Valley

Simi Valley's commercial landscape is a mix of retail centers, strip shopping along main corridors, and business parks. The Simi Valley Town Center has both enclosed and outdoor shops with storefront glass doors and back-of-house service doors. Along Cochran St and First St, many units use aluminum-framed storefront doors with commercial mortise locks and panic hardware, the kind that wear down after years of daily use. We also work with offices and light industrial tenants in business parks near Easy St and Madera Rd, in ZIP codes such as 93065 and 93063.

A common call here is an emergency panic-bar or storefront lock repair at a strip-retail unit on Cochran St, where a bar will not latch or a cylinder has seized. Because we travel to you, we can handle these at the door, often at closing time or early morning before opening. Whether the issue is in Texas Tract, near Tapo Canyon Rd, or out toward Wood Ranch, we can reach you from SR-118 or SR-23.

Simi Valley is also home to people who run businesses from home or manage rental properties in Big Sky, Wood Ranch and Santa Susana Knolls, and we can assist with those too. If you manage a small office near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library area or a unit off Sycamore Dr, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through the door and the problem.

Commercial Locksmith in Simi Valley — FAQs

Do you offer 24/7 commercial locksmith service in Simi Valley?
Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, every day, and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through your situation. We do not have a storefront; we come to your business.
Can you fix a panic bar that will not latch or release?
Usually, yes. Panic and exit devices often fail because of worn latches, misaligned strikes or damaged trim. We inspect the device and door, then repair or replace the parts needed and test the exit function.
My storefront door lock is jammed. Do I need a new lock?
Not always. A jam can come from a worn cylinder, a damaged latch, or a door that has dropped out of alignment. We check the whole assembly before recommending replacement.
Can you rekey my business after an employee leaves?
Yes. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, without replacing the lock hardware in most cases. It is a practical step after staff turnover or lost keys.
Do you work on aluminum storefront doors common in strip centers?
Yes. Many Simi Valley strip retail units, including those along Cochran St and First St, use aluminum storefront doors with commercial locks, and we service those regularly.
Will I need to prove I am allowed to authorize work?
Yes. We ask for confirmation that you are the owner, manager or authorized tenant. For leased spaces, we may need to coordinate with the property manager.
How is commercial pricing determined?
It depends on the hardware, number of doors, condition of the door and frame, parts needed, and time of day. Call (323) 997-8867, describe the job, and we can explain what affects the cost.
Can you help with a lockout at a warehouse or business park unit?
Yes. We handle lockouts on office, personnel and service doors, working to avoid damage where possible. Call (323) 997-8867 with the door type and location.
