Access control replaces the question of who still has a copy of the key with a system you can manage. In place of a brass key that can be duplicated anywhere, each person gets a code, a card or a fob, and you decide which doors it opens. For a Temple City shop, office, restaurant or small multi-unit building, that can mean fewer rekeys, less worry when staff change, and a clearer way to handle back doors and shared entrances.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on practical, mobile service. We do not run a storefront. We bring the tools and hardware to your property, look at the actual door, and recommend a setup that suits how the business operates rather than the most elaborate option on the shelf.

Temple City's commercial mix is varied. Older storefronts along Las Tunas Drive often have original frames and doors that need careful evaluation. Newer townhome and small apartment developments have entrances, gates and common doors where a fob or keypad is much easier to manage than a ring of keys. We handle both kinds of work, and we explain each choice in plain language so you know what you are buying and how it will be used day to day.

How it works in Temple City

  1. 1

    Talk through the entrance and who needs access

    We start with a call to (323) 997-8867 and a few questions. How many doors are involved, how many people need entry, do hours differ by person, and is this a shop, an office, a restaurant or a residential building's common area? Those answers shape the system far more than brand names do.

  2. 2

    Walk the site and inspect the door

    Because we are mobile, we come to you and examine the door, frame, hinges, strike area and nearby power. Older storefront doors, such as those found in mixed-age buildings, may be metal, wood or aluminum glass, and each handles electronic hardware differently. We tell you what the door can support before anything is installed.

  3. 3

    Choose keypad, card, fob or a combination

    A keypad suits a small team that rarely changes. Cards and fobs make more sense when people come and go, since one lost credential can be deactivated without touching the others. We explain the tradeoffs honestly, including how each option behaves during a power interruption and how you would manage users afterward.

  4. 4

    Install the hardware and connect power

    We mount the reader or keypad, set the lock or electric strike, and handle wiring and power so the door still latches properly and meets your need for safe exit. We test operation from both sides and check that the door closes and secures on its own.

  5. 5

    Program users and test everything

    We set up codes, cards or fobs, assign who opens which door, and test each credential. Before we leave, we confirm that the manual override works and that you know how to add or remove a user.

  6. 6

    Hand-off and follow-up support

    You receive a clear walk-through of day-to-day use, including what to do when an employee leaves or a fob goes missing. If you add a second door or another tenant later, we can extend the system rather than starting over.

What affects the price

  • The number of doors being controlled, since each entrance needs its own reader, lock hardware and testing.
  • Type of credential: a simple keypad differs from a card or fob system that supports many individual users.
  • Door and frame condition and material, because older or unusual doors may need modification or reinforcement before electronic hardware will work reliably.
  • Electrical and wiring needs, including how far power must run and whether the door can be reached without opening walls.
  • Lock type, such as an electric strike versus a magnetic or electrified lockset, and any fire or exit requirements at the entrance.
  • Number of users and the amount of setup, programming and training your team needs.

Why Temple City chooses us

  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so installation and urgent door problems are handled at your property without a trip to a shop.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar guiding the work rather than a rotating call center.
  • We look at the real door first, so you are not sold hardware that does not suit an older Las Tunas Drive storefront.
  • As locksmiths, we handle the mechanical side as well as the electronic side: rekeying, deadbolts, and backup keyed override all in one visit.
  • Plain-language explanations and honest recommendations, including when a simpler keypad is a better fit than a full card system.
  • Experience with both single businesses and multi-unit property turnover, so we can set up systems that are manageable for property managers.

Access Control across Temple City

Temple City is a quiet, mostly residential valley-floor city, and its business life centers on the walkable Las Tunas Drive corridor. Shops, restaurants and offices in Downtown Las Tunas Drive sit in storefronts of many ages, which means door types and wiring conditions vary from one address to the next. We check each entrance individually before recommending keypads, cards or fobs, and we serve ZIP code 91780 and the surrounding area.

Outside the main commercial strip, the city is changing. Teardown-rebuilds and new townhome and small apartment projects are appearing in areas like Mission View Acres and the Camellia area, alongside the older 1950s and 1960s ranch and stucco homes. For small multi-unit buildings, shared entrances, side gates and utility rooms are good candidates for fob or keypad access, and property managers appreciate being able to cancel a credential instead of rekeying between tenants.

We reach businesses near Las Tunas Dr, Rosemead Blvd (SR-19), Baldwin Ave, Lower Azusa Rd and Temple City Blvd, and we are comfortable working around events like the annual Camellia Festival, when foot traffic through town picks up. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule a visit.

Access Control in Temple City — FAQs

What kinds of access control can you install for a Temple City business?
We install keypad, card and fob systems for business entrances. The right one depends on how many people need access and how often that group changes. Call (323) 997-8867 and we can talk through options for your door.
Can access control work on an older storefront door on Las Tunas Drive?
Often yes, but we inspect the door and frame first. Older wood, metal or aluminum-and-glass doors each take electronic hardware differently, and sometimes the door needs adjustment or reinforcement. We tell you what is realistic before work begins.
Is a keypad or a fob system better for a small shop?
A keypad is simple and works well for a small, stable team. Cards or fobs are better when staff change or you want to deactivate one person's access without affecting others. We explain the tradeoffs for your situation.
Do you offer 24/7 service for access control problems?
Yes. We are a fully mobile locksmith available 24/7. If a reader stops working or a door will not secure, call (323) 997-8867 and we will help get the entrance sorted.
Will the door still work if the power goes out?
That depends on the lock type chosen. Some hardware stays locked and some releases when power is lost, and exit safety matters at any commercial door. We discuss this during planning and make sure there is a keyed or manual override where appropriate.
Can you set this up for a small apartment or townhome building?
Yes. Shared entrances, gates and common rooms are good fits for fobs or keypads, and a lost credential can be disabled instead of rekeying every lock. We can also rekey individual units between tenants.
How do I add or remove a user later?
We show you how during the hand-off, and we can handle changes for you if you prefer. Adding a door or more users later is usually easier when the original system was planned with growth in mind.
Do I need to visit your shop to get started?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront to visit. We come to your Temple City property, look at the doors and handle the installation on site.
