Ford trucks and SUVs are everywhere in Altadena, from F-150s hauling gear for rebuild projects to Explorers handling the hill roads up toward the foothills. Most of them use Ford's PATS transponder system or Intelligent Access push-button keys, so a key that merely fits the ignition or turns a lock will not start the vehicle without proper programming.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. We do not have a shop for you to tow to. Our technician comes to the vehicle, whether it is parked at home, at a jobsite, or at a trailhead, and cuts and programs a replacement on the spot. Whether you lost your only key, want a spare before you lose one, or have no working keys left, we handle it where the vehicle sits.

How it works in Altadena

  1. 1

    Call and share your vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the model, the approximate year, and where the truck or SUV is parked in Altadena. Tell us whether you have one working key, a damaged key, or none at all.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    Our mobile technician drives to you. Nothing needs to be towed, and you do not have to find a ride to a shop. We verify ownership before any key work begins.

  3. 3

    Confirm the key by VIN

    We use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your specific Ford, whether it is a bladed PATS-style key or an Intelligent Access push-button key. We never guess from the model name alone.

  4. 4

    Cut, program, and test

    We cut the key if it requires a blade, program it to the vehicle, and test the lock, door, and start function. If you wish, we add a spare in the same visit so you are not caught out again.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Altadena

Altadena stretches from the flats near Janes Village and The Meadows up into the hillside streets around Christmas Tree Lane on Santa Rosa Avenue and the Altadena Country Club. We serve ZIP codes 91001 and 91003, and we regularly work at homes, parking areas near Charles White Park and Farnsworth Park, and trailheads like the Cobb Estate / Sam Merrill Trailhead, where a lost key can end a hike on a bad note.

Many Altadena households are rebuilding or restoring after the Eaton Fire, and we understand that a truck is often the lifeline for that work. Our mobile service meets you at a jobsite, a surviving home, or a hillside driveway. We also handle home lock needs for the same community, such as rekeying seized deadbolts, setting contractor lockboxes, and rekeying a newly purchased hillside home, so one call to Crenshaw Lock Company can cover both your vehicle and your property.

Ford keys in Altadena — FAQs

What if I lost all my Ford keys in Altadena?
An all-keys-lost situation is something we handle regularly. We come to your vehicle, confirm the correct key by VIN, and cut and program a new one on site. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Ford key before I lose my only one?
Yes, and it is usually the easier route since a working key is available. We come to you, program the spare, and test it. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule.
What if I have no original key at all?
You do not need the original. We verify ownership, use the VIN to identify the right key for your F-150 or Explorer, and create a new one without a tow.
What is the difference between a bladed key and a push-button key?
A bladed PATS-style key has a cut metal blade plus a transponder that the vehicle must recognize. An Intelligent Access key is a push-button style that lets the vehicle start without inserting a blade. Which one yours uses depends on the exact vehicle.
How do you confirm which key my Ford needs?
We use the VIN, not just the model name, because key types can vary by year and trim. The VIN lets us confirm the right key before cutting or programming anything.
Do I need to tow my truck or SUV anywhere?
No. We are fully mobile and work wherever the vehicle is parked in Altadena, whether at home, a jobsite, or a trailhead.
