Commercial double exit doors fitted with horizontal panic bars

Open now(323) 997-8867

A panic bar is the one piece of hardware on a commercial door that has to work every single time, in the worst moment. In Van Nuys, those doors are everywhere: aluminum-storefront shops on Van Nuys Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard, auto row businesses, offices near the Government Center, and industrial and aviation-adjacent buildings around Van Nuys Airport. Each one has a slightly different door, frame and use pattern, and the right exit device depends on all three.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar and our team bring that experience to every exit-device job. We are fully mobile, so there is no storefront to visit. We come to you, look at the door in person, and install or repair the hardware on site.

Whether you are adding a new emergency exit, replacing a worn-out rim device, fixing a bar that sticks or will not latch, or reworking hardware after a tenant change, we can help. We can also advise on how the hardware fits the way your door is actually used. For questions about code requirements for your specific occupancy, your local building and fire authorities have the final word, and we encourage checking with them on anything that affects a permit or inspection.

How it works in Van Nuys

1
Call and describe the door
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us what kind of door it is: aluminum storefront, hollow metal, wood, or glass. Mention whether it is single or double, and whether you need a new install or a repair. Photos of the door and frame help us bring the right parts.
2
On-site assessment
We come to your Van Nuys location and inspect the door, frame, hinges, closer and any existing hardware. Many exit-device problems are really alignment, door-sag or closer problems, so we check the whole opening before recommending anything.
3
Choose the right device
We go over options such as rim exit devices, vertical rod devices for double doors, and devices designed for narrow-stile aluminum doors. We match the device to your door, your traffic, and whether you need an exterior trim or key control from outside.
4
Installation or repair
We mount the device, prepare the door as needed, install strikes and trim, and set up any dogging or outside cylinder. For repairs, we replace worn latches, springs or linkages instead of replacing the full device when that makes sense.
5
Function testing
We cycle the door repeatedly to confirm it latches cleanly and releases with a single push. We check that the closer pulls the door fully shut and that nothing binds, because a bar that works only when the door is gently closed is not finished.
6
Keying and walkthrough
If the device has an outside cylinder, we key it to your system or rekey it after a tenant change. We walk you through dogging, daily operation and simple checks you can do so small problems get caught early.

What affects the price

The type of device: a basic rim exit device costs differently than a vertical rod device for a double door or a specialty narrow-stile model for aluminum storefronts.
Door and frame condition: a sagging door, bent frame or failing closer may need work so the new hardware performs properly.
Door material and preparation: aluminum, hollow metal, wood and glass doors each need different mounting and may need cutting or reinforcement.
Number of doors and whether the job is new install versus repair or replacement of an existing device.
Outside trim and keying needs, including cylinders, rekeying to an existing key system, or alarm and delayed-egress features.
Timing of the visit, such as after-hours or emergency service, since we are available 24/7 and the scope of the job is confirmed on site.

Why Van Nuys chooses us

Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, so we have seen the full range of storefront, warehouse and office doors found across the Valley.
Fully mobile: we bring tools and hardware to your door instead of asking you to come to a shop, which matters when the door in question cannot be left unsecured.
Available 24/7, so a failed exit device or a door you cannot properly secure does not have to wait for business hours.
We look at the whole opening, including closer, hinges and strike, instead of swapping a bar and leaving the real cause of the problem.
We handle both the exit hardware and the keying, so rekeying after a tenant change can happen in the same visit.
Honest recommendations: if repairing an existing device is the better call, we say so rather than pushing a full replacement.

Panic Bar Installation across Van Nuys

Van Nuys has an unusual mix of buildings, and that shapes exit-device work here. Along Van Nuys Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard, Victory Boulevard and Sherman Way, you find long runs of aluminum-storefront commercial buildings where narrow-stile doors are common and Adams Rite deadlatches often sit alongside panic hardware. Tenant turnover is frequent, and a change often means rekeying the outside cylinder and checking that the exit device still latches correctly.

Around the Van Nuys Civic Center and the Government Center, offices, service businesses and courthouse-adjacent properties have their own needs, often with multiple doors and steady foot traffic. Near Van Nuys Airport, in ZIP codes like 91406 and 91411, industrial and aviation-adjacent buildings rely on heavier doors and rear exits that see real wear. In 91401 and 91405, dense apartment corridors and older commercial strips often need exit hardware on stairwell, laundry or utility doors.

Neighborhoods such as Kester Ridge and the older Sylvan Park townsite mix 1920s to 1950s buildings with newer retrofits, so we sometimes meet old frames that need careful fitting. With I-405 and US-101 close by, we can reach most of the community. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
