A commercial door works harder than almost anything else in a building. A shop door on Las Tunas Drive may open and close hundreds of times a day, and the hardware pays for it. Latches drag, closers lose their check, thumb turns loosen, and a lock that worked fine last month starts to stick. When that hardware fails, you can't properly secure the business or let customers in.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are a fully mobile locksmith with no storefront to visit. We bring tools and common hardware to your door in Temple City and work on the spot wherever possible, whether the door is a narrow-stile aluminum storefront, a wood door with a mortise lock, or a newer glass entry.
This page covers what commercial door hardware work involves in a city like Temple City: older mixed-age storefronts along the business corridor, small offices, restaurants, and newer multi-unit buildings that need properly keyed and maintained common doors. If something is failing now, call (323) 997-8867 any hour.
How it works in Temple City
- 1
Call and describe the door
Tell us what kind of door it is (aluminum storefront, glass, wood, or a door with a mortise lock) and what it is doing. Is the key not turning, is the latch not catching, or is the door not closing? A clear description helps us bring the right parts. Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
- 2
On-site inspection
We come to your location and look at the whole assembly, not just the lock. Misaligned frames, worn hinges, loose mounting and bad closers often cause what looks like a lock problem. We explain what we find before any work begins.
- 3
Repair or replace, your choice
Many mortise cases, cylinders, strikes and storefront latches can be repaired or rebuilt. When parts are worn out or no longer available, we discuss replacement options. We lay out the realistic choices so you can decide what suits the building and the budget.
- 4
Install and fit the hardware
We install the new or repaired hardware and adjust it to the door. That includes alignment of the latch and strike, backset and stile fit on aluminum doors, and the smooth operation of any closer or panic device involved.
- 5
Rekey and key control
If keys have been lost or staff have changed, we can rekey the cylinders so old keys stop working. For a business with several doors, we can discuss a simple master key arrangement so that you carry fewer keys.
- 6
Test and secure before we leave
We operate the door repeatedly, lock and unlock with every key, and confirm it closes and latches properly. You leave with a door that secures the business, not a temporary fix.

What affects the price
- The type of door and frame: narrow-stile aluminum storefront hardware differs from mortise hardware on a wood or hollow-metal door.
- Whether the existing hardware can be repaired or rebuilt, or whether it needs full replacement.
- The grade and brand of hardware you choose, and whether matching parts are readily available for older installations.
- The number of doors and cylinders involved, including rekeying or setting up a master key system.
- Extra components such as closers, panic or exit devices, electric strikes, or door and frame repair needed for proper operation.
- The time of the call: after-hours and emergency service differs from a scheduled daytime visit.
Why Temple City chooses us
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a failed storefront lock does not have to leave your business exposed overnight.
- In business since 1987, with long experience on older mortise hardware and aluminum storefront doors.
- Owner-led: David Shar is the lead technician, so the people who set standards also do the work.
- We look at the whole door, including frame, hinges and closer, rather than only swapping the lock.
- We explain repair versus replacement honestly and do not push parts you do not need.
- One company for emergency lockouts, rekeying and hardware upgrades, so your keys and doors stay consistent.
Commercial Door Hardware across Temple City
Temple City is mostly a quiet residential city, which makes its commercial pockets stand out. Downtown Las Tunas Drive is a walkable corridor of small shops, restaurants and offices in storefronts of many different ages. Older buildings there often have worn aluminum storefront hardware or original mortise locks that deserve repair or a thoughtful upgrade. We work in the 91780 ZIP code and across the city, from Las Tunas Drive to businesses near Rosemead Blvd (SR-19), Baldwin Ave and Lower Azusa Rd.
A shop owner might call after a lockout, a stuck latch at closing time, or when a former employee still has a key. For those, we can repair the hardware, rekey the cylinders and secure the door the same visit. Being mobile means we come to you, whether the business sits near Temple City Park, off Temple City Blvd, or on a side street near the busy stretch of Las Tunas.
The city is also seeing teardown-rebuilds and new townhomes and small apartment buildings in areas such as Mission View Acres and the Camellia area. Property managers and builders there may need commercial-grade hardware on common doors, keyed alike or with a simple master key, and turnover rekeys between tenants. We can help with those too, supplying and keying hardware so the property is ready to operate.
