Commercial Locksmith in Thousand Oaks & Ventura County
CLS - Chandler Locksmith Services is a mobile commercial locksmith serving Thousand Oaks, Ventura County and neighboring Los Angeles County communities: master key systems, commercial rekeys, panic hardware and door closers, commercial lock and door hardware repair, and business lockouts. Owned and operated by Brad Chandler (California BSIS license #LCO8562), the business works on-site only, with free up-front estimates.
Businesses across Ventura County trust CLS - Chandler Locksmith Services for security that just works — the offices off Townsgate Road in Westlake Village, retail at the Simi Valley Town Center, the industrial parks and shops around Oxnard and Camarillo. Brad handles it himself, so you get one accountable person who knows your building, not a rotating crew.
We install and service master key systems, panic hardware and door closers, commercial-grade locks, and fast rekeys after staff changes — plus same-day lockout help during business hours to get you back open. Everything is licensed (CA BSIS #LCO8562), insured, quoted up front, and guaranteed.
Commercial door hardware by door type
The right lock depends on the door it goes on. This is how commercial hardware is typically matched to the three most common door types in Conejo Valley and Ventura County offices, shops, and suites.
| Door type | Recommended hardware grade | Common brands & product families | Typical commercial use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hollow metal door in a steel frame | ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 | Schlage ND Series or Sargent 10 Line cylindrical levers; Schlage L9000 or Corbin Russwin ML2000 mortise locks; Von Duprin 99 Series rim exit devices | Back and service doors, stairwells, warehouse doors, suite entries |
| Narrow-stile aluminum storefront door | Grade 1 narrow-stile hardware, sized to the door's stile and backset | Adams Rite MS1850 deadbolts and Adams Rite deadlatches; Von Duprin 33A/35A Series narrow-stile exit devices | Retail storefronts, restaurants, glass office-lobby doors |
| Solid-core wood door | Grade 1 for high-traffic doors; Grade 2 for light-traffic interior doors | Schlage ND (Grade 1) or AL (Grade 2) Series levers; Sargent or Corbin Russwin mortise locks on heavy-use doors | Interior office suites, medical and dental exam rooms, conference rooms |
Grades are ANSI/BHMA ratings (A156.2 covers bored/cylindrical locks, A156.13 mortise locks, A156.3 exit devices). Grade 1 is the heaviest-duty rating.
