Commercial double exit doors fitted with horizontal panic bars

A panic bar is one of the few pieces of hardware that has to work perfectly on the worst day your building ever has. When people need to leave quickly, a single push has to release the door, every time, with no key, no special knowledge and no second motion. In a city as commercially varied as Torrance, from retail around Del Amo Fashion Center to industrial buildings and small shops in Old Torrance, that hardware shows up on a wide range of doors, and each one has its own quirks.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We install new panic bars and exit devices, and we repair, adjust and replace worn ones. That includes rim devices on standard doors, devices on aluminum storefront doors, and the trim, cylinders and strikes that go with them. We are mobile only, so there is no showroom to visit. We come to the door and work on it where it hangs.

Panic hardware is also tied to safety rules, and we want to be straightforward about that. Requirements depend on how a space is used, how many people occupy it and what the door is part of. Your local fire authority and building department make the final call on what your building needs. What we do is install and service the hardware carefully, so the doors you have operate the way they were designed to, and we can talk through options when you are unsure what suits a particular opening.

How it works in Torrance

1
Tell us about the door and the building
Call (323) 997-8867 and describe the opening: wood, hollow metal or aluminum storefront, single or double doors, and whether you are adding a device or fixing one. Photos of the door, the existing hardware and the frame help us arrive with the right parts.
2
Assess the door, frame and existing hardware
On site, we check that the door hangs square, the frame is sound and the closer is working. A panic bar will only perform as well as the door it is mounted on. Sagging hinges or a misaligned strike are common culprits in devices that stick or fail to latch.
3
Match the device to the opening
We discuss rim, surface vertical rod or mortise-style devices, the finish, and whether you need an outside trim, key cylinder or alarm feature. Aluminum storefront doors often need devices designed for narrow stiles, so the choice is not one-size-fits-all.
4
Install, align and test
We mount the device, set the strike and adjust the latch so it engages cleanly and releases with a light push. We then cycle the door many times, confirm it closes and latches on its own, and check that the outside trim behaves as intended.
5
Walk through operation and upkeep
Before we leave, we show you or your manager how the device works, how to dog it down if that is appropriate, and what to watch for over time, such as loose mounting screws or a latch that no longer fully extends.
6
Repairs and after-hours service
If a device is already installed and failing, we repair or replace worn parts. Because we are available 24/7, we can handle work after closing so a retail or office door is secure and functioning by the time you open.

What affects the price

The type of device: a basic rim exit device differs from a surface vertical rod or concealed vertical rod unit, and each requires different parts and labor.
The door material and condition. Aluminum storefront, hollow metal and wood doors each need different mounting methods, and a door that needs reinforcement or alignment adds work.
Single or double doors. Pairs often need two devices, a mullion or additional hardware, and more careful alignment.
Extras such as outside trim, keyed cylinders, alarmed devices, electric latch retraction or integration with existing access control.
Whether this is a new installation or a repair or replacement, and whether old hardware must be removed and the door prepped or patched.
Timing of the visit, including after-hours or emergency calls versus a scheduled appointment.

Why Torrance chooses us

Fully mobile service. We bring parts and tools to your door in Torrance, so there is no storefront trip and no need to take the door off-site in most cases.
Available 24/7, which matters for businesses that cannot leave an exit door broken overnight or need work done after closing.
Experience since 1987 across commercial and residential hardware, including older mortise setups and modern storefront systems.
Owner-led operation under David Shar, so you are dealing with an experienced locksmith rather than a call center.
We fix the door as well as the device. Alignment, closers and strikes are checked because they often cause the problem.
Honest guidance on what we can do. We install and service hardware, and we will tell you to confirm code questions with your fire or building authority.

Panic Bar Installation across Torrance

Torrance has a lot of doors that need exit hardware, and they are not all alike. Around Del Amo Fashion Center and the retail corridors along Hawthorne Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard and Carson-area frontage, tenants often have aluminum storefront doors with exit devices that see constant use. A retail tenant near Del Amo may need a mortise cylinder, closer and panic hardware serviced after hours so the store can open on schedule, and that is exactly the type of call we handle at night or on a weekend.

In Old Torrance, the historic district along El Prado mixes older brick commercial buildings with small shops and restaurants. Doors here can be older and not perfectly square, which makes careful fitting important when adding or repairing an exit device. Businesses in ZIP 90501 and nearby 90503 and 90505 also include light industrial and warehouse space where rear and side exits need dependable hardware, while the large industrial zones near Torrance Municipal Airport (Zamperini Field) and the I-405 and I-110 corridors have their own demands for heavy-duty doors.

We also work with churches, schools, offices and small businesses scattered through Southwood, West Torrance, Walteria and the Hollywood Riviera area, including along Pacific Coast Highway and Torrance Boulevard. Wherever you are in 90502, 90503, 90504 or 90505, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
