Losing the key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer in Artesia is stressful, especially when the vehicle is parked outside a shop on Pioneer Boulevard or at home. Many Ford keys carry a transponder tied to the Ford PATS anti-theft system, and newer models use push-button Intelligent Access keys. A copy that only cuts metal will not start the engine, so the key has to be properly matched to your vehicle.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no shop to tow your Ford to. We come to the vehicle wherever it sits in Artesia, verify ownership, confirm the correct key for your VIN, and get you back on the road. Whether you have one key left, none at all, or just want a spare before you lose the last one, we can help.
How it works in Artesia
- 1
Call and share your VIN
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your Ford model, year, and where the vehicle is parked. Your VIN, found on the dash near the windshield or on the door jamb label, helps us confirm exactly which key your truck or SUV needs.

We come to your vehicle
Our mobile locksmith drives to you in Artesia, whether you are at home, at work, or in a parking lot. Nothing needs to be towed, and we work right at the vehicle.

Verify ownership and identify the key
We ask for ID and proof of ownership, such as registration or title. We then confirm the correct key type for your Ford, either a bladed PATS transponder key or a push-button Intelligent Access key, using your VIN.

Cut, program, and test
We prepare the new key and program it to your vehicle, including all-keys-lost situations where no working key is available. We then test the key to make sure it starts the engine, locks and unlocks the doors, and works its remote functions.

Add spares while we are there
If you are down to one key, we recommend adding a spare during the same visit. It is usually simpler than a full all-keys-lost situation later.
What affects the price
- Key type: a bladed PATS transponder key and a push-button Intelligent Access key are different products and are quoted differently.
- Number of keys working: replacing a single spare is different from an all-keys-lost situation where none can be used to start the vehicle.
- Model and year: F-150 and Explorer generations vary, and your VIN determines the exact key and procedure required.
- Extra keys: cutting and programming more than one key in one visit can be more efficient than separate trips.
- Time and location of service: after-hours or late-night calls may be quoted differently than daytime appointments.
Ford keys across Artesia
Artesia is compact, but Ford trucks and SUVs are everywhere here. We regularly serve drivers in Downtown Artesia and around Little India on Pioneer Boulevard, where customers shopping, dining, or working along the International and Cultural Shopping District can find themselves without a working key. We also come to homes in the older residential streets near Artesia Park, so a lost key does not have to mean a tow.
We serve both Artesia ZIP codes, 90701 and 90702, and can meet you near local spots like the Artesia Historical Museum or the DES Portuguese Hall. Because we are fully mobile, you can reach us 24/7 at (323) 997-8867. Tell us your location and VIN, and we will plan the visit from there.
