Van Nuys is one of the most varied commercial districts in the San Fernando Valley. Within a few miles you find aluminum-storefront strips along Van Nuys Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard, auto row dealerships, government offices around the Civic Center, and aviation-adjacent industrial space near Van Nuys Airport. Each of these has its own hardware, its own risks and its own headaches when a lock fails or a tenant leaves.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has spent decades working on exactly this kind of door. We are a mobile service only. There is no storefront to visit; we bring tools, hardware and key-cutting capability to your location, day or night.

Commercial work is rarely just a lock. It is a business that cannot open, a warehouse that needs to be secured tonight, or a landlord turning over a unit and needing every key accounted for. We approach each call by asking what the door needs to do for your operation, then recommending the simplest fix that does it properly.

How it works in Van Nuys

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the type of building, the door or hardware involved, and whether you are locked out, changing tenants, or fixing a failing lock. That lets us plan the right parts before we arrive.

  2. 2

    Assess the hardware on site

    We look at the door, frame and lock. On Van Nuys storefronts that often means an aluminum door with an Adams Rite deadlatch, a pivot or panic device, and sometimes a mortise cylinder. We check for wear, misalignment and prior damage before touching anything.

  3. 3

    Explain options before work begins

    We lay out what can be repaired, what should be rekeyed, and what is better replaced. You hear the reasoning and the cost drivers up front, and you decide how to proceed.

  4. 4

    Rekey, repair or install

    We do the work at your door: rekeying cylinders after a tenant change, adjusting or replacing panic hardware, installing deadbolts, or setting up master key systems for multi-door sites. We try to preserve good hardware rather than replace it unnecessarily.

  5. 5

    Test and hand over keys

    Every lock is cycled repeatedly with the door open and closed. We cut and test keys, confirm that old keys no longer work where rekeyed, and walk you through what changed so your records stay accurate.

What affects the price

  • Type of service: a emergency lockout, a rekey, a repair, and a full hardware installation all involve different labor and parts.
  • Hardware grade and type: standard deadlatches, high-security cylinders, panic exit devices and electrified hardware vary widely in material cost.
  • Number of doors and keys: rekeying one office is different from rekeying a multi-tenant building or building a master key system.
  • Time of the call: after-hours and urgent requests differ from scheduled daytime work, even though we are available 24/7.
  • Condition of the door and frame: bent aluminum stiles, worn strikes or damaged closers can add repair work beyond the lock itself.
  • Location and access: reaching a secured industrial yard or a site with limited entry may affect how the visit is planned.

Why Van Nuys chooses us

  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar personally involved in the work and standards.
  • Fully mobile and available 24/7, so a failed lock at night does not have to wait for opening hours.
  • Familiar with aluminum-storefront hardware common on Van Nuys Boulevard, Sepulveda and Victory, including Adams Rite deadlatches and panic devices.
  • Comfortable with both older mortise hardware and modern commercial systems, so mixed-age buildings are not a problem.
  • We recommend repair or rekeying when it solves the problem, rather than pushing full replacement.
  • Clear explanations of options and cost factors before work starts, with no pressure.

Commercial Locksmith across Van Nuys

Van Nuys sits at the center of the Valley, and its business mix reflects that. Around the Van Nuys Civic Center and the Valley Municipal Building, offices, legal services and small firms near the Van Nuys Courthouse often need controlled keying and reliable entry hardware. Along Van Nuys Boulevard, Sepulveda and Victory, storefronts and auto dealerships rely on aluminum-framed doors that take daily abuse and need hardware kept in adjustment.

Near Van Nuys Airport, in ZIP codes like 91406 and 91411, aviation-related and industrial tenants have their own needs: roll-up and personnel doors, warehouse security, and key control when staff and contractors change. We also work in 91401 and 91405, where commercial strips sit beside apartment corridors and older residential blocks. Quick access from I-405, US-101 and Sherman Way means we can cover the whole district.

Even in the older parts of town near Sylvan Park and Kester Ridge, mixed-use and converted buildings may still carry vintage mortise hardware beside modern locks. We can service both, keep period doors intact where that matters, and bring the security up to a standard that suits a working business.

Do you offer commercial locksmith service in Van Nuys at night?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will work out the next step with you.
Can you rekey my storefront after a tenant change?
Yes. We commonly rekey Adams Rite deadlatches and mortise cylinders on aluminum storefronts so previous tenants' keys no longer work. We also check the door and strike while we are there.

We repair, adjust and replace panic hardware. Often the issue is alignment or a worn latch, which can be fixed without replacing the whole device.
Can you set up a master key system for several doors?
Yes. Master key systems suit multi-suite offices, warehouses and apartment buildings. We plan the key hierarchy with you so access matches who actually needs it.
Do I have to come to a shop?
No. We are mobile only and have no storefront. We come to your business, and call (323) 997-8867 to start.
What affects the cost of commercial lock work?
Mainly the type of service, hardware grade, number of doors and keys, door condition and timing. We explain these before starting so there are no surprises.
Do you work near Van Nuys Airport?
Yes. We serve airport-area businesses and industrial sites in the surrounding ZIP codes, including warehouse and personnel doors and key control for changing staff.
Can you help if a lock on an older building is failing?
Yes. We service vintage mortise locks and older cylinders, repairing when practical. If replacement is the better choice, we tell you why. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss it.
