- Keys & fobs programmed on site
- Available 24/7

A BMW key is more than a piece of metal. Most 3 Series and 5 Series keys carry an encrypted transponder, and many cars use Comfort Access for keyless entry and push-button start. That means a replacement has to be matched to your specific car, and a generic hardware-store copy will not start it.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and BMW Comfort Access and encrypted keys are our specialty. We are fully mobile, so whether you are stuck at home in Athens or stranded along the Harbor Freeway corridor, we bring the equipment to your car instead of making you arrange a tow to a shop.
How it works in Athens
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your BMW model, the approximate year, and whether you have lost every key, need a spare, or have a damaged fob. We tell you what to expect before we head out.
- 2
We come to your vehicle
Our mobile technician drives to wherever the BMW is parked in Athens, whether that is a driveway, a street, or a lot near Broadway or Figueroa. Nothing needs to be towed.
- 3
Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN
We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your 3 Series or 5 Series. This keeps us from guessing at what your car needs.
- 4
Cut, program and test
We prepare the new key, whether bladed or push-button, and program it to your BMW. Then we test every function, including locking, unlocking and starting, before you pay.
What affects the price
- Whether you need a spare or are in an all-keys-lost situation, since the latter takes more work
- The key type for your model and year, such as a bladed key versus a Comfort Access push-button key
- How many keys you want made in the same visit
- Time of day, since we operate 24/7 including nights, weekends and holidays
- Whether the key needs cutting in addition to programming
BMW keys across Athens
Athens is a tight-knit unincorporated community with a lot of daily driving along the I-110 (Harbor Freeway) and I-105 (Century Freeway) corridors. BMW owners in the Athens Park neighborhood and in adjacent West Athens often call us after a key goes missing at home, at work, or after a trip along the Broadway or Figueroa commercial strips. We serve ZIP codes 90044, 90047 and 90061, and we come directly to your car.
If you are parked near Athens Park Community Regional Park at 12603 S Broadway, or outside a home or rental in West Athens, you do not have to leave the car. Crenshaw Lock also handles home and business lock work, such as rekeying after a tenant turnover or securing a Figueroa storefront, so one local company can help with both your car and your property.
