A business lock is not just a bigger version of a house lock. It has to serve many people, survive heavy daily use, meet fire-egress expectations, and keep working when staff turns over. In West Hills, commercial properties range from medical and professional offices near West Hills Hospital & Medical Center to retail strips along Sherman Way, Vanowen St, and Victory Blvd, to small light-industrial units and school-adjacent facilities.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit; our work happens at your door, whether that is a suite in a business park, a roll-up door at a warehouse, or the back entrance of a restaurant after closing.
This page explains how commercial work with us typically goes, what drives the cost, and what West Hills business owners tend to ask. If something is urgent, a lockout, a break-in that damaged a door, or a lost master key, call (323) 997-8867 any hour.
How it works in West Hills
- 1
Call and describe the building
Tell us what kind of business it is, how many doors are involved, what type of hardware is on them, and what happened. A short conversation lets us bring the right cylinders, exit devices, and tools instead of guessing at your door.
- 2
On-site assessment
Our technician comes to your West Hills location and looks at the doors, frames, existing locks, and how people actually use the entrances. We check whether the problem is the lock, the strike, the closer, or the door alignment, because those get confused often.
- 3
Clear options before work starts
We explain what can be repaired, what should be replaced, and what can simply be rekeyed. You approve the scope before we begin, so there are no surprises about what is being changed.
- 4
Repair, rekey, or installation
We carry out the work: opening a locked-out office, rekeying a set of doors to a new key system, installing commercial-grade deadbolts or panic hardware, or setting up keypad and access control. Doors are tested for smooth operation and proper latching.
- 5
Key system and handoff
We cut and organize keys, talk through who should hold which level of access, and note how to add or remove people later. If you use keypad or card access, we walk your manager through basic administration.
- 6
Follow-up support
If a door sticks or a key feels off after the work, call (323) 997-8867 and we will address it. Businesses depend on doors that work every morning.

What affects the price
- Type of work: emergency lockout entry, rekeying, repair, or full hardware replacement each involve different labor and parts.
- Number of doors and cylinders, since rekeying or upgrading many openings at once is handled differently from a single door.
- Grade and type of hardware, such as standard commercial deadbolts versus panic bars, electrified locks, or high-security restricted keyways.
- Condition of the door and frame, because a warped door, damaged strike, or failing closer can add repair work beyond the lock itself.
- Access control needs, including keypads, card readers, or integration with existing systems.
- Time of service, as after-hours and emergency calls differ from scheduled daytime appointments.
Why West Hills chooses us
- Operating since 1987 under owner David Shar, so the person guiding the work has decades of hands-on commercial experience.
- Fully mobile and available 24/7, which suits businesses that cannot always schedule a lock problem for business hours.
- We work on the real door, diagnosing frames, closers, and strikes rather than selling a new lock when the issue is alignment.
- Master key and key control planning, so you can separate owner, manager, and employee access sensibly.
- Straightforward communication about scope before work begins, with no invented urgency or inflated claims.
- Experience across Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County, including mixed suburban commercial areas like West Hills.
Commercial Locksmith across West Hills
West Hills sits at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, and its commercial life reflects that. Along Platt Ave and the Platt Village corridor, small shops, restaurants, and service businesses often share older storefront doors with worn cylinders and keys that have been copied many times. Rekeying those doors is a practical way to reset who has access without replacing everything. Around the Shadow Ranch area, home-based and small professional offices sometimes need the same attention: a solid deadbolt, a keypad entry, or a clean key system.
Larger corridors such as Sherman Way, Vanowen St, Victory Blvd, Roscoe Blvd, and Saticoy St carry offices, medical suites, and light-industrial buildings, especially in ZIP codes 91307 and 91304. Businesses near West Hills Hospital & Medical Center often need reliable after-hours access for staff, and we can help with hardware that keeps entrances secure while still meeting egress needs. Toward the Valley Circle foothills and the Bell Canyon edge in 91307, 91308, you will find gated properties and community facilities where gate locks and entry hardware need to match the rest of the key system.
Because we travel to you, we are used to reaching sites across West Hills, from properties near Fallbrook Ave and Woodlake Ave to those closer to Orcutt Ranch and Shadow Ranch Park. Wherever your business sits, call (323) 997-8867 and we will talk through what you need.
