A dead or missing key fob rarely picks a convenient moment. In Calabasas it tends to happen at the far end of a drive: in the parking lot at The Commons at Calabasas after errands, at a trailhead near Malibu Creek State Park, or in your own driveway after a long commute on the Ventura Freeway. Because we are fully mobile, there is no shop to tow your car to. We bring the equipment to wherever the vehicle is parked.

Key fob replacement covers more than most people expect. It can mean a basic remote with lock, unlock, and trunk buttons, a flip key with a transponder chip, or a push-button-start smart key that your car recognizes by proximity. Each type has to be matched to your vehicle and programmed so the car accepts it. Many vehicles also let us remove a lost fob from the car's memory, so whoever finds it can no longer use it.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead tech David Shar. That experience matters with fobs, because the right approach depends on the make, model, and year, and on whether you still have a working key to copy. We will explain what your car needs before any work begins.

How it works in Calabasas

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year of the vehicle, where it is parked, and whether you have any working key or fob left. This tells us what type of fob is involved and what we need to bring.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    We are 24/7 and fully mobile, so we drive to you, whether that is a driveway in Calabasas Hills, a lot off Parkway Calabasas, or the roadside. If the car is inside a guard-gated community, we will coordinate entry with the gatehouse.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and identify the fob

    Before cutting or programming anything, we confirm that you are the vehicle's owner or authorized user. We then identify the correct fob type, frequency, and chip for your car, since similar-looking fobs are often not interchangeable.

  4. 4

    Cut, pair, and program

    If your fob has an emergency or flip key blade, we cut it to match. Then we program the fob so the vehicle recognizes it. When a lost fob is a concern, we can often erase the old one from the car's memory as part of the process.

  5. 5

    Test every function

    We test lock, unlock, trunk or hatch, panic, and push-button start where applicable, and make sure the car starts reliably. You leave with everything working and clear instructions for the new fob.

What affects the price

  • Fob type: a simple remote costs differently than a flip key with a transponder or a proximity smart key for push-button start.
  • Make, model, and year: some manufacturers use more involved security systems that require different programming procedures and parts.
  • Whether you have a working key: copying from an existing key is generally simpler than creating a new key when every key has been lost.
  • Parts availability: some fobs are common and easy to source, while others are specialty items for luxury or imported vehicles.
  • Time and location of the call: after-hours service, and travel to a more remote spot such as a hillside or canyon road, can affect the total.
  • Extra work requested: cutting an emergency blade, programming spares, or erasing a lost fob each add to the scope.

Why Calabasas chooses us

  • Fully mobile: no storefront and no towing needed. We do the work at your car, wherever it is parked.
  • Open 24/7, so a dead fob at night or on a weekend is not left waiting until business hours.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
  • We explain what your specific vehicle needs before starting and do not guess at fob compatibility.
  • We can often remove a lost fob from the car's memory so a missing key does not become a security problem.
  • Familiar with gated Calabasas communities and how gatehouse access works, so entry does not become a delay.

Key Fob Replacement across Calabasas

Calabasas has a car-heavy lifestyle that makes working fobs essential. Residents commute along US-101, run errands on Las Virgenes Road and Calabasas Road, and head up Mulholland Highway or Old Topanga Canyon Road on weekends. A fob that dies in a canyon turnout or at the lot by Calabasas Lake is a real problem, and our mobile service is built for exactly that.

Many of our Calabasas calls come from guard-gated neighborhoods such as The Oaks, Calabasas Hills, and Mulwood. In these communities, a technician typically has to be cleared through the gatehouse, so it helps to let the guard know we are expected. If you are in ZIP code 91302, give us your street address and any gate instructions when you call, and we will plan accordingly.

We also help people in Old Town Calabasas, at The Commons, and near King Gillette Ranch, where visitors and workers may be parked far from home when a fob fails. Wherever your vehicle is in Calabasas, call (323) 997-8867 any hour and we will come to you.

Key Fob Replacement in Calabasas — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. We can often create and program a new fob even when no working key remains, though the process depends on the vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 with your make, model, and year and we will tell you what is involved.
Do you come to me in Calabasas, or do I have to bring the car somewhere?
We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your vehicle, whether it is at home, at work, or in a parking lot at The Commons.
Can you work inside a gated community like The Oaks?
Yes. We are cleared through the gatehouse like any other service visitor. Tell the guard we are coming and give us any access instructions when you call.
What is the difference between a remote fob and a smart key?
A remote fob has buttons for locking and unlocking and usually works with a separate key for the ignition. A smart or proximity key lets the car detect it nearby so you can unlock and push-button start without taking it out of your pocket. Smart keys require more specialized programming.
Will the old fob still work after you program a new one?
On many vehicles we can erase lost or stolen fobs from the car's memory, so only the keys you keep will work. Ask us when you call (323) 997-8867 and we can confirm for your car.
Why not just buy a fob online?
Online fobs are often the wrong frequency or chip, or are locked to a different vehicle, and they still must be programmed. We identify the right fob for your car and program it, so you are not paying twice.
Do you offer service at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. If your fob fails late at night or on a holiday, call (323) 997-8867.
Can you make a spare fob at the same time?
Yes. Having a spare programmed during the same visit is usually more convenient than starting over after the next fob is lost. Tell us how many you want when you call.
