A panic bar is the hardware people lean on when something has gone wrong, so it has to work every time. In Thousand Oaks, that means exit doors in office and biotech parks, retail spaces near The Oaks mall, event and assembly spaces, schools, and restaurants. Done right, the door stays secure from the outside and opens freely from the inside with a single push.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar and the team handle exit device work as part of our commercial service. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; we bring the tools and hardware to your door, any hour of the day or night.
Some jobs are new installations on a door that never had an exit device. Others are repairs: a bar that sticks, a latch that no longer retracts, a trim that won't unlock, or a worn device after years of heavy daily use. We look at the door, the frame, and how the space is used before recommending hardware, so the result fits the building rather than being a one-size-fits-all product.
How it works in Thousand Oaks
- 1
Talk through the door and its use
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us about the door: where it leads, whether it is an exit only or also an entry, and what is not working. Knowing whether it is a single or double door, and how many people use it, helps us bring the right hardware.
- 2
Inspect the door, frame, and existing hardware
We come to your location and examine the door material, thickness, frame condition, and alignment. Hollow metal, aluminum storefront, and wood doors each call for different mounting and device types. A door that sags or drags is addressed before a new device is mounted.
- 3
Choose the right type of exit device
We go over options such as rim devices, vertical rod devices, and mortise-style devices, along with trim choices for doors that need outside access by key. We help you pick a device suited to the door and how the space is used, and we recommend you confirm requirements with your local building or fire authority.
- 4
Install, align, and secure
We mount the device, set the strike, and adjust the latch so it retracts smoothly and the door closes and latches reliably. Where outside access is needed, we fit the trim and cylinder and can key it to your existing system.
- 5
Test and walk you through it
We operate the device repeatedly from inside and outside, check closer behavior, and confirm the door latches fully. We show you or your staff how it works and what to watch for so small issues get caught early.

What affects the price
- Whether the job is a new installation or a repair of an existing device, since repairs can sometimes avoid full replacement.
- The type of device: rim, vertical rod, or mortise, and whether a single door or a pair of doors is involved.
- Door and frame material and condition, including any prep, reinforcement, or alignment work needed.
- Trim and cylinder needs, such as outside key access or keying to a master-key system.
- Any special features such as alarmed or delayed-egress hardware, or integration with access control.
- Time of service, since emergency or after-hours calls differ from scheduled daytime work.
Why Thousand Oaks chooses us
- Fully mobile service: we work at your door in Thousand Oaks rather than asking you to bring anything to a shop.
- In business since 1987, with experience across commercial exit hardware, master-key systems, and access control.
- Available 24/7, useful when a failed exit door has to be secured the same night.
- We look at the whole door, including frame, closer, and strike, so the new device works smoothly rather than just being bolted on.
- We can key outside trim into an existing master-key system, which suits multi-suite offices and biotech tenants.
- Plain explanations of options and what affects cost, with no pressure to buy more hardware than the door needs.
Panic Bar Installation across Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks has a mix of commercial buildings that rely on dependable exit hardware. Large office and biotech parks, including the area around the Amgen campus and business parks along Thousand Oaks Blvd and Rancho Conejo Blvd, often have multi-suite layouts where rear and stairwell doors need exit devices that tie into a master-key system. Retail around The Oaks mall and civic and event spaces like the Civic Arts Plaza and the Fred Kavli Theatre have heavy foot traffic, which wears exit devices quickly.
We serve the whole city, from Newbury Park and its commercial corridors to North Ranch, Dos Vientos Ranch, and Lynn Ranch, including ZIP codes 91320, 91360, 91362, 91358, and 91359. Whether your building sits off US-101, near SR-23, or along Moorpark Rd, Lynn Rd, Hampshire Rd, or Borchard Rd, we come to you.
Because the area includes churches, schools, restaurants, offices, and community spaces near places like California Lutheran University, exit doors vary a lot in age and style. We adapt to what is there, whether a worn device on an older door or new hardware for a tenant improvement. For urgent needs, call (323) 997-8867 any time.
