Need Ford car keys in Bell? Crenshaw Lock Company sends a fully mobile locksmith to your F-150 or Explorer 24/7, whether you lost every key or just want a spare. We come to the vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 and have your VIN ready.

Fords are everywhere in Bell, from F-150 work trucks parked near the industrial and riverfront area to Explorers shuttling families along Atlantic Avenue. Most of these vehicles use Ford PATS transponder keys or Intelligent Access push-button keys, and a lost or broken key can stop a workday or a school run cold. Since 1987, Crenshaw Lock Company has helped Southern California drivers get moving again without a tow.
We are fully mobile, so there is no shop to visit and no need to tow your truck. We come to your driveway, work lot, or curb, verify ownership, and cut and program a replacement for your specific vehicle. The exact key type is confirmed by your VIN, not guessed from the model name, which matters because Ford has offered different key styles across model years of both the F-150 and Explorer.
How it works in Bell
- 1
Call and share your VIN
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the model, year, and where the vehicle is parked. The VIN, found on the dash near the windshield or on your registration, lets us confirm the correct key type for your Ford.

We come to your vehicle
A mobile locksmith drives to you anywhere in Bell, whether that is a driveway, a job site, or a parking lot. Nothing needs to be towed.
- 3
Verify ownership
Before making a key, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, such as ID matched to registration or title. This protects you and keeps keys out of the wrong hands.
- 4
Cut and program the key
We prepare a new PATS transponder key or Intelligent Access key as your vehicle requires, and program it to the truck or SUV. This works for lost-key, spare-key, and all-keys-lost situations.
- 5
Test everything
We check that the key starts the engine, locks and unlocks the doors, and that any remote buttons work before we finish.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic bladed transponder key differs in cost from an Intelligent Access push-button key.
- Model year and trim of your F-150 or Explorer, which determine the system and key style, confirmed by VIN.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the work required.
- Number of keys needed, since adding a spare during the same visit is often more efficient.
- Time of service, as after-hours and emergency calls are handled 24/7 and may be quoted differently.
