Losing a key fob in Beverly Hills rarely happens at a convenient moment. It might slip out of a pocket on Rodeo Drive, get left in a valet stand near the Beverly Wilshire, or simply stop responding after years of use. Modern fobs and proximity keys are more than a button and a blade: each one is electronically paired with your vehicle, so a replacement has to be cut, if applicable, and programmed correctly to work.
Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to, and you should not have to drive a car with no working key anyway. We bring the equipment to wherever the vehicle is parked, in a driveway in The Flats, a gated hillside property off Benedict Canyon Drive, or a garage in the Golden Triangle. We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on straightforward, honest work.
This page explains how a fob replacement typically works, what affects the cost, and what to expect. Because every make, model, and year is different, the best first step is a call to (323) 997-8867 so we can ask a few questions about your vehicle and tell you what is realistically involved.
How it works in Beverly Hills
- 1
Tell us about the vehicle
Call (323) 997-8867 and give us the make, model, and year, plus whether you have any working key left. Whether you have a spare, or have lost every key, changes the approach, so this conversation sets expectations early.
- 2
We come to your location
Because we are mobile and available 24/7, we meet you where the car is. That might be a home driveway, a hotel valet area, an office garage, or the roadside. You do not need to tow the vehicle to us.
- 3
Verify ownership
Before creating a key for any vehicle, we ask for proof that you are the owner or authorized user, such as registration and identification. This protects you and is a standard practice for responsible locksmiths.
- 4
Prepare and program the new fob
We select a compatible fob or smart key and, if your vehicle uses a physical emergency blade, cut it. We then program the fob to the vehicle's system. Depending on the car, this can be done with a spare present or as an all-keys-lost situation.
- 5
Test every function
We confirm that lock, unlock, trunk, panic, and push-button start or ignition operation all work as they should. If your vehicle supports remote start or a power liftgate, we check those too.
- 6
Review spares and next steps
We talk through whether a second spare makes sense. Having a backup programmed while we are already there is often simpler than starting over after the next lost key.

What affects the price
- Vehicle make, model, and year: luxury and European vehicles common in Beverly Hills often use more complex smart-key systems than basic remote-and-blade setups.
- Type of key: a basic remote head key, a flip key, and a proximity smart key each involve different hardware and programming steps.
- All keys lost versus a spare on hand: programming without any existing key usually takes more work than adding a key to a car you can already start.
- Whether an emergency blade must be cut, and whether the key uses a high-security laser-cut profile.
- Fob source: original manufacturer parts versus quality aftermarket options can differ in cost and in features.
- Time and location of the call: after-hours service, hillside or gated addresses, and travel distance can all be factors.

Key Fob Replacement across Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills has a way of making vehicles part of daily life, and part of the landscape. In The Flats, with its period-revival homes and tree-lined streets, many owners keep cars in detached garages or on private drives where a technician can work comfortably. Up in Trousdale Estates, mid-century homes often sit behind keypad driveway gates, and in BHPO and along Benedict Canyon Drive the properties are hillside and gated. We are used to coordinating access so the work can happen at your door.
In the Golden Triangle, cars live a different life: parked in garages near Canon Drive, left with valets around the Beverly Wilshire, or tucked into structures close to Rodeo Drive. A lost fob there can mean a stranded evening or a missed appointment. Because we are mobile, we can meet you in a garage or on the street, or at hotel properties such as The Beverly Hills Hotel if arrangements allow. Whether you are in ZIP 90210, 90211, or 90212, the process is the same.
If you are near Will Rogers Memorial Park, driving along Sunset or Santa Monica Boulevard, or heading home on Coldwater Canyon Drive when a fob fails, call (323) 997-8867. We will talk through the situation and plan the best way to get you moving again.
