A commercial door works harder than almost any other part of a building. A retail entrance on Thousand Oaks Boulevard might open and close hundreds of times a day, and an office suite door in a business park carries the weight of every employee, delivery and visitor. When the hardware starts to fail, you notice: a latch that drags, a push bar that no longer retracts, a closer that slams, or a lock cylinder that turns only after some jiggling. Those small problems tend to become after-hours emergencies, usually when a door will not lock and the business is left exposed overnight.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the company around practical commercial and residential work. We are 24/7 and fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools and a working knowledge of storefront, aluminum-frame and mortise hardware to you. That means we can diagnose the door where it hangs, which matters because the cause is often alignment, wear or a mismatched part rather than the lock itself.
Our commercial door hardware work covers repair and replacement. Sometimes a worn latch, strike or cylinder can be serviced and the door goes back to work. Other times the hardware is past saving, or no longer suits how the door is used, and replacement is the honest recommendation. We explain which situation you are in and what each choice involves, so you can decide with clear information.
How it works in Thousand Oaks
- 1
Call and describe the door
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us what the door is doing: type of frame (aluminum storefront, hollow metal or wood), type of hardware, and whether it is secure right now. If the building cannot be locked, say so, and we treat that as the priority.
- 2
We come to you
Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, a technician travels to your location in Thousand Oaks, whether that is a storefront, an office suite or a tenant space. We bring a range of common commercial parts and tools for on-site work.
- 3
Inspect the door, frame and hardware
Before replacing anything, we check how the door hangs, whether the frame has shifted, how the closer is adjusted, and whether the latch, strike, pivot or cylinder is the real culprit. Aluminum storefronts and mortise doors fail in different ways, so the diagnosis guides the fix.
- 4
Repair or replace, with a clear recommendation
We explain whether adjustment, repair or replacement makes sense. For mortise hardware, that may mean servicing or swapping a lock body. For storefront doors, it may involve push bars, rim or deadlatch hardware, closers or cylinders. You approve the plan before work begins.
- 5
Install, test and finish cleanly
We install the hardware, align the strike and latch, adjust closing and latching action, and cycle the door repeatedly with keys in hand. If you want keying coordinated with an existing system, we can address that during the visit.
- 6
Walk-through and follow-up advice
Before we leave, we show you how the door should operate and point out any wear on neighboring doors worth watching. You leave with a door that locks and a clear idea of what, if anything, to plan for next.

What affects the price
- The type of door and frame: aluminum storefront, hollow metal and wood doors with mortise locks each need different parts and different labor.
- Repair versus full replacement: adjusting or rebuilding existing hardware is a different scope than swapping out a complete device.
- The grade and style of hardware chosen, such as standard function versus heavier-duty commercial grades, panic or exit devices, or specialty finishes.
- Whether the part is a common stock item or an older or discontinued mortise body that must be sourced or matched.
- Keying requirements, including matching an existing key system, restricting keys, or integrating with a master-key setup.
- Time of day and urgency: an after-hours emergency call to secure a building is handled differently from a scheduled daytime upgrade, and the number of doors affects the total.
Why Thousand Oaks chooses us
- Fully mobile service means we work on your actual door in place, rather than asking you to bring parts or a lock to a shop.
- Open 24/7, so a storefront that will not lock at night is something we can respond to rather than leave until morning.
- In business since 1987, with hands-on experience across storefront, aluminum-frame and mortise hardware.
- We diagnose before we replace, checking alignment, closers and frames so you are not paying for a new lock that fixes nothing.
- We can handle keying alongside the hardware, which helps tenants and managers who need doors to fit into a master-key plan.
- Straight recommendations: if repair will do, we say so, and if replacement is smarter, we explain why.
Commercial Door Hardware across Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks has a commercial mix that puts real demands on door hardware. The Oaks mall and the retail corridors along Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Moorpark Road rely on storefront entrances that see heavy daily use. Around the Civic Arts Plaza and the Fred Kavli Theatre, public-facing doors need to function reliably for crowds and still lock down at the end of the night. Further out, the large office and biotech parks, with Amgen's headquarters campus as the best-known neighbor, create demand for tenant suites with multiple interior and exterior doors, master-key systems and access control.
We serve the whole city and its neighborhoods, including Newbury Park, North Ranch, Dos Vientos Ranch and Lynn Ranch. A small office or shop in Newbury Park near ZIP 91320 may have a single aluminum-frame entry that has worn after years of use, while a professional suite near 91360 or 91362 might need mortise hardware serviced or keyed to fit a building system. We also work in the 91358 and 91359 areas, where business and home-based office doors have their own needs.
Getting around is straightforward from US-101 and SR-23, with Moorpark Road, Lynn Road, Hampshire Road and Borchard Road connecting the business areas to the surrounding neighborhoods. Wherever the door is, from a storefront near California Lutheran University to a suite in a business park off Thousand Oaks Boulevard, our mobile technicians come to you at any hour. Call (323) 997-8867.
