Losing a key fob is a different kind of problem than losing a house key. Modern fobs are small computers: they carry a transponder chip, a radio remote, and often a proximity system that talks to the car without being touched. When one goes missing, cracks after a drop, or simply stops responding, you usually can't just copy it at a hardware counter. The car has to be taught to accept a new one.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to, which matters when the fob you need is the one that starts your car. We bring the equipment to you in Agoura Hills, so a lost key in a parking lot off Agoura Road or a dead fob in a driveway in Morrison Ranch gets handled where the car sits.
This page explains how replacement works, what shapes the cost, and what to expect locally. We would rather you understand the job before you call, so there are no surprises when we arrive.
How it works in Agoura Hills
- 1
Tell us about the vehicle
Call (323) 997-8867 and give us the make, model, and year, plus whether you have any working key left. Whether you have a spare changes the job considerably, so this first conversation helps us bring the right parts.
- 2
Confirm ownership
Before we cut or program anything, we ask you to show that the vehicle is yours. This protects you and is standard practice for responsible automotive locksmiths. Registration and photo ID are typically what we look for.
- 3
Identify the correct fob or smart key
Fobs vary by frequency, chip type, and button layout, and the wrong one will not program. We match the replacement to your specific vehicle, and where the system uses a physical emergency blade, we address that too.
- 4
Cut the blade if needed
Many fobs include a hidden mechanical key for the door lock. If yours does, we cut it on-site so you retain a way into the car even if the battery in the fob dies.
- 5
Program to the vehicle
Using diagnostic equipment connected to the car, we register the new fob so the immobilizer recognizes it. If an old, lost fob is a concern, we can discuss removing it from the car's memory so it no longer works.
- 6
Test everything before we leave
We check lock, unlock, trunk or hatch, panic, and push-button start where equipped, and we run the car to confirm it starts and keeps running. You leave with a fob that works, not a guess.

What affects the price
- Vehicle make, model, and year, since some brands use far more complex security systems than others.
- Type of key: a basic remote head key, a flip key, or a proximity smart key with push-button start each involve different parts and programming effort.
- Whether you still have a working key. Adding a copy from an existing key is generally simpler than starting from nothing after every key is lost.
- Whether a mechanical emergency blade needs to be cut or a new one needs to be produced.
- Parts availability for your specific fob, including whether an original-equipment or quality aftermarket unit is the better fit.
- Time and location of the call, since we are available around the clock and a late-night or hard-to-reach location can affect scheduling.
Why Agoura Hills chooses us
- Fully mobile service. We come to your car in Agoura Hills instead of asking you to tow it somewhere, which can save a stressful extra step.
- In business since 1987, with owner and lead technician David Shar behind the work, so this is a long-established local operation.
- Available 24/7, because fobs fail at inconvenient hours, such as after a late dinner or before an early commute.
- We explain the job in plain language, including when a replacement is truly needed and when a battery swap or reprogram might solve the problem.
- We program on-site and test every function before finishing, rather than leaving you to discover a dead button later.
- We can discuss securing your vehicle after a lost fob, including removing the missing one from the car's memory where the system allows.
Key Fob Replacement across Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills is a car-dependent community. Residents commute along US-101, the Ventura Freeway, and use Kanan Road, Agoura Road, and Cornell Road for daily errands. That means a dead or lost fob can leave you stuck far from home, whether you're parked at Whizin's Market Square, finishing a hike near Ladyface Mountain, or visiting the Reyes Adobe Historical Site. We come to wherever the vehicle is.
We work throughout the city, from the planned neighborhoods around Lake Lindero and Morrison Ranch to the semi-rural horse properties of Old Agoura. In Old Agoura, a fob that stops working after being dropped near a barn or trailer is a common kind of call, and long driveways and gated properties mean it helps to tell us about access when you phone. For homes in ZIP code 91301, and for those in 91376, the process is the same: we arrive with the equipment, verify ownership, and program the fob in place.
If you're heading to Chumash Park, Paramount Ranch, or along Thousand Oaks Boulevard and your key gives out, call (323) 997-8867. Because we are mobile only, there is no shop to visit; we meet you at your car, any time of day or night.
