Losing a car key is stressful anywhere, but in Agoura Hills it can be especially inconvenient. Many of us live a drive away from everything: up Kanan Road, out past Chumash Park, or tucked into a hillside street below Ladyface Mountain. When the only key is gone, or snapped off in the ignition, a tow to a dealership across the Valley is a costly and slow way to solve it.
Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit. David Shar and the technicians have been serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we bring the key cutting and programming equipment to wherever your car is parked: a driveway in Morrison Ranch, a parking space at Whizin's Market Square, a shoulder along Agoura Road, or a lot near the US-101 on-ramp.
We can replace transponder keys, remote-head keys, flip keys, and many smart or proximity keys, often when no original key exists. What is possible depends on the make, model, and year of your vehicle, and we will tell you plainly what we can do before any work begins.
How it works in Agoura Hills
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year of the car, and whether you have any working key at all. Tell us where the car is parked in Agoura Hills so we can plan the visit. We answer around the clock, including nights and holidays.
- 2
Verify ownership
Before we make a key for any vehicle, we ask for proof that it is yours. That usually means a photo ID and registration or title that match. This protects you and keeps keys from ending up in the wrong hands.
- 3
Identify the key type and code
We determine whether your car uses a basic metal key, a transponder chip, a remote-head key, or a smart key. Where possible, we generate the cut from the vehicle's lock or key code rather than needing the original, which is how we work when every key is lost.
- 4
Cut the new key on site
Using mobile cutting equipment, we cut the blade to match your locks. We test it in the door and ignition before moving to programming so there are no surprises.
- 5
Program the key to the vehicle
We pair the transponder or remote to your car's computer so it starts the engine and, where applicable, locks and unlocks the doors. If a lost key is a concern, we can discuss removing the missing key's access on vehicles that allow it.
- 6
Final test and handoff
We check every function with you: door lock, trunk, remote buttons, and starting the engine multiple times. You leave with working keys and a clear explanation of what was done.

What affects the price
- Make, model, and year of the vehicle, since many newer or European models need more involved programming than older domestic cars
- Type of key: a basic cut key, a transponder key, a remote-head key, and a smart proximity key all differ in parts and labor
- Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes how the key is generated and programmed
- Number of keys needed, as a spare made in the same visit is usually more efficient than coming back later
- Time and location of the call, including after-hours or holiday service and how far we travel
- Whether additional work is needed, such as extracting a broken key from the ignition or repairing a worn lock
Why Agoura Hills chooses us
- Fully mobile service: we come to your car in Agoura Hills rather than asking you to get it towed to a shop
- In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work, so experience is behind the keys we make
- Keys cut and programmed on site, even when you have no original key to copy
- Ownership is verified before any key is made, which protects you if your car or documents are ever questioned
- Straightforward explanations of what your vehicle needs and what affects the cost, with no timing promises we cannot keep
- Available 24/7, which matters when a key goes missing late at night after a drive on the 101 or a day at Paramount Ranch
Car Key Replacement across Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills is a spread-out community, and cars end up in all kinds of places. In Old Agoura, with its horse properties and gated ranch homes, a lost key may mean being stuck at a barn or trailhead far from the main road. In Morrison Ranch and around Lake Lindero, the more typical call is a driveway or townhome parking spot where the only key has vanished or a remote has stopped working. We work in both settings, wherever your vehicle sits.
We regularly serve the 91301 and 91376 ZIP codes, and we know the roads that connect them: Agoura Road, Kanan Road, Cornell Road, Thousand Oaks Boulevard, and the US-101 corridor. If your car is at Whizin's Market Square, near The Canyon club, at Chumash Park, or by the Reyes Adobe Historical Site, tell us the nearest cross street and we will find you.
Because we are mobile only, there is no shop to drive to. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us where you are in Agoura Hills, and we will take it from there. If your lost key also came with house keys on the same ring, we can talk through rekeying your locks as well.
