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. 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. 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. 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. 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

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.

BMW keys in Athens — FAQs

What if I lost all my BMW keys in Athens?
An all-keys-lost situation is something we handle regularly. We come to your BMW, verify ownership, confirm the correct key by VIN, and make and program a new one on site. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare BMW key if I still have one?
Yes. Making a spare while you still have a working key is usually simpler than an all-keys-lost job. It is also a smart way to avoid being stranded later. We can do it at your home or workplace in Athens.
What if I have no original key at all?
You can still get a new key. We verify that you own the car, use the VIN to identify the right key, and then program it to your BMW. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will explain what documents to have ready.
Is a push-button key different from a bladed key?
Yes. Many 3 Series and 5 Series cars use Comfort Access push-button keys for keyless entry and start, while others use a bladed key with an encrypted transponder. Your VIN helps confirm which one your car takes.
How do you confirm which key my BMW needs?
We use your VIN along with the model and year to identify the correct key type. This avoids ordering or cutting the wrong key. We also check your ID and proof of ownership before starting.
Do I need to tow my BMW to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to the vehicle anywhere in Athens, West Athens and nearby ZIP codes like 90044, 90047 and 90061.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes, we operate 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you are locked out or without a working BMW key.
