Fast, Reliable Commercial Locksmith Across Burbank

We keep Medeco and Schlage commercial cylinders on our trucks because Burbank’s media district buildings turn over tenants on production schedules, and a re-key can’t wait for parts to ship.
We’re Loxley Locksmith & Security, part of the Kingswell family of locksmith companies, and we’ve handled everything from studio back-lot master key systems to 1940s ranch-style homes in the Magnolia Park neighborhood. Our crews serve Burbank locally, with dispatch coordinated from our Los Angeles office. Call (682) 281-8985 and you’ll reach a live person, 24/7. No voicemail queue. No callback tomorrow.
Why Loxley Locksmith & Security Is Burbank’s Preferred Commercial Locksmith Company
Burbank isn’t a generic market. The concentration of Warner Bros., Disney, and independent production facilities here means building managers face re-keying cycles that Glendale and Pasadena simply don’t see at this volume. We’ve built our local inventory and scheduling around that reality.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the full hardware spectrum: Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy. When we arrive at a Burbank property, we carry the parts to finish the job in one visit. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we avoid the second-trip charge that burns customers who’ve already been let down by locksmiths who quoted low and showed up empty-handed.
Every job follows The Kingswell Way: we say the price before the work starts, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Our Commercial Locksmith team handles this standard on every call, whether it’s a single storefront re-key or a 200-cylinder master key system.
We’ve served residential and commercial customers since 2007. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers parts and labor, and if a repair fails inside that year, we return at no charge. The guarantee is included on every repair, not sold as an upgrade.
Storefront Door Repair in Burbank
Storefront Door Repair in Burbank addresses the aluminum and glass entry systems common along Magnolia Boulevard, San Fernando Boulevard, and the media district corridors where production offices lease short-term space. These doors take abuse from daily foot traffic, delivery dollies, and the thermal expansion that comes with 100°F+ San Fernando Valley summers. A typical storefront door repair in Burbank runs $200-$450 for hardware adjustment, hinge replacement, or lockset realignment; full door closer replacement adds $180-$320.
When the Frame Swells
Burbank’s summer heat expands aluminum door frames and wood door slabs, binding deadbolts and misaligning strikes. We see this spike every July and August. Our techs carry shims, strikes, and adjustable hinges to correct the bind without ordering parts.
Glass Door Hardware
Storefront glass doors use specialized pivot hinges and patch fittings that standard locksmiths don’t stock. We carry Adams Rite, CRL, and Jackson hardware on our Burbank trucks because media district buildings can’t wait three days for a pivot set to ship.
Commercial Door Closer Repair in Burbank
Commercial Door Closer Repair in Burbank fixes the hydraulic arms and spring mechanisms that control entry doors on office suites, retail spaces, and studio production buildings. A failed closer creates liability, energy loss, and security gaps. In Burbank, closer failure often traces to heat-degraded fluid, Santa Ana wind damage, or original hardware on post-WWII buildings that was never upgraded. Typical closer repair or replacement runs $180-$320; heavy-duty or concealed models run $280-$480.
Heat-Damaged Closers
The San Fernando Valley floor hits triple digits regularly. Hydraulic closer fluid breaks down faster here than in coastal zones. We stock ANSI Grade 1 closers rated for high-cycle, high-heat environments because a standard residential closer dies in six months on a Burbank commercial door.
Wind Misalignment
Fall Santa Ana events rattle door frames and knock closers out of adjustment. We reset arm geometry and check the full opening cycle, not just the latch speed. A closer that slams today tears hinges next month.
Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank
We stock and service Schlage, Medeco, and Yale hardware from our Burbank inventory, with same-day availability on most commercial cylinders, deadbolts, and access control components. Schlage Primus and Medeco Biaxial cylinders are standard for our media district master key installations. Yale 1800 series and August smart locks integrate into the access control systems we install for production offices cycling through tenant turnover. We don’t special-order what we should carry. That’s the difference between a one-visit job and a return trip that costs you another day of unsecured suites.
Common Commercial Locksmith Problems We See in Burbank Homes
- Production-wrap re-keying rushes. When a show wraps on a Burbank lot, building managers need every suite re-keyed before the next tenant’s Monday call time. We keep pre-pinned Medeco and Schlage commercial cylinders on the truck for exactly this predictable cycle.
- Summer heat binding deadbolts. Burbank’s 100°F+ days expand aluminum frames and wood slabs, turning smooth locks into stuck locks. The fix is usually frame realignment, not a new cylinder, but you need a tech who recognizes the difference.
- Original mortise hardware in Magnolia Park bungalows. Those 1940s-1960s ranch and craftsman homes still have mortise locksets that need specialty parts. We source Baldwin and Yale mortise components and can upgrade to modern ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts while preserving the door’s original character.
- Failed master key audits on older commercial buildings. Post-WWII Burbank commercial stock often has layered, undocumented key systems. We audit every cylinder, map the hierarchy, and deliver a written key control program so you know who has access to what.

FAQs About Commercial Locksmith in Burbank
Every few months, typically when a production wraps and a new tenant moves in. We keep extra Medeco and Schlage commercial cylinders on our trucks specifically for this cycle. Call (682) 281-8985 to schedule a master key audit so you’re ready for the next turnover.
The San Fernando Valley heat expands aluminum frames and wood door slabs, binding deadbolts against misaligned strikes. It’s a seasonal mechanical issue, not a lock failure. We adjust the frame and strike rather than selling you hardware you don’t need.
Yes. We regularly key Burbank ranch-style properties with detached workshops, guest houses, and gates to a single master key or total key-alike system in one trip. Our trucks carry the full Schlage and Medeco commercial cylinder inventory to finish without a return visit.
We can service it with Baldwin or Yale mortise components, or upgrade to a modern ANSI Grade 1 deadbolt that fits the existing door prep without damaging the original craftsman trim. We’ll show you both options with written prices and let you decide.
No. Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration so old keys no longer work. Drilling destroys the lock and is only necessary if keys are lost and no override exists. We always attempt non-destructive entry first, and we’ll tell you before any drill touches metal.
