Losing the key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer is stressful, especially when the truck is parked outside your home or work in Athens. Many Fords use PATS transponder keys, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. Both need the key to be properly matched to your vehicle before it will start the engine.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no shop visit and no tow to a dealer: we come to the vehicle wherever it sits. Whether you have lost your only key, want a spare before that happens, or have no working keys at all, we can help.

How it works in Athens

  1. 1

    Call and share your vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the model and year of your Ford, your location in Athens, and whether you have a spare or have lost all keys.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership and the correct key by VIN

    We use your VIN to confirm the correct key type for your Ford, and we verify that you own the vehicle before making any key. This keeps the key matched to your exact truck or SUV instead of guessing.

  3. 3

    We come to your vehicle

    Our mobile technician meets you at your Ford, whether at home, at work, or in a parking lot. Everything is done on site with no tow required.

  4. 4

    Cut, program, and test

    We prepare the new key, match it to your Ford so it starts the engine, and test the key and any remote functions before we finish. Old lost keys can be removed from use where the system allows.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Athens

Athens is a mix of older bungalows, rental homes, and busy commercial strips, and F-150s and Explorers are common here as work trucks and family vehicles. We regularly help drivers in the Athens Park neighborhood near Athens Park on S Broadway, as well as in neighboring West Athens, whether the Ford is parked on the street or in a driveway.

We serve ZIP codes 90044, 90047, and 90061, and reach drivers along the I-110 Harbor Freeway and I-105 Century Freeway corridors as well as storefronts along Broadway and Figueroa. If your keys disappear at a job site or after a long shift, we come to you. We also handle home and commercial lock needs in the area, such as rekeys and deadbolt replacement.

Ford keys in Athens — FAQs

What if I lost all keys to my Ford?
We can help with an all-keys-lost situation. We confirm ownership, use your VIN to identify the correct key, and make and program a new one at your vehicle in Athens. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Can you make a spare Ford key?
Yes. Having a spare made while you still have a working key is usually simpler than replacing after losing everything. We come to you, and the key is matched to your vehicle.
What if I don't have my original key?
You do not need the original. We work from your VIN and proof of ownership to determine the correct key for your F-150 or Explorer and create a new one on site.
What is the difference between a bladed PATS key and a push-button key?
Many Ford trucks use a PATS transponder key that is cut and matched to the vehicle. Intelligent Access models use a push-button key fob that is programmed to the vehicle. Which one yours uses depends on model and year.
How do you confirm the right key for my Ford?
We use your VIN along with the model and year, and we verify ownership. This lets us confirm the proper key type before we make anything.
Do I need to tow my Ford to a dealer?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your vehicle in Athens, so there is typically no need for a tow. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
