Losing the key to your Equinox is stressful, whether you have one left or none at all. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile: we come to wherever your Equinox is parked. There is no shop to tow it to.

The Equinox has been built across several years with different key systems, from transponder bladed or remote-head flip keys on earlier models to proximity push-button smart fobs on most recent trims. The exact key, chip and programming depend on your trim and VIN, so we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting or programming anything.

We can make a spare key while you still have a working one, which is usually the easier and less stressful route, or handle an all-keys-lost situation where no original key is available. Either way, we verify ownership first and then work at your vehicle.

Chevrolet Equinox key systems by year

Earlier years: Transponder bladed or remote-head/flip key

Earlier Equinox models typically use a transponder key, either a bladed key with a chip in the head or a remote-head/flip key that combines the key and lock/unlock buttons. The blade is cut to match your locks, and the key's chip must be programmed so the vehicle recognizes it. The exact key type, chip and programming depend on trim and VIN, so we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting. This works for a spare or an all-keys-lost situation.

Recent years: Proximity push-button Smart fob on most trims

Recent Equinox models on most trims use a proximity push-button smart fob. The vehicle detects the fob nearby, so you can start it with a button instead of turning a blade in the ignition. Replacement involves sourcing the correct fob and programming it to the vehicle. Because the exact fob and programming depend on trim and VIN, we confirm the correct key by VIN first. We can do this as an added spare or when all keys are lost.

Exact key, chip and programming vary by trim and VIN — we confirm the right key for your car before cutting.

How we replace your key

  1. 1

    Call and share vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your Equinox's year, trim and location, and whether you have a working key or all keys are lost.

  2. 2

    Verify ownership

    At the vehicle, we check your photo ID and proof of ownership before any key work begins.

  3. 3

    Confirm the key by VIN

    We use your VIN to confirm the correct key type for your trim before cutting or programming, since the exact key and chip vary.

  4. 4

    Cut and prepare the key

    For bladed or flip keys, we cut the blade to fit. For smart fobs, we source the correct fob for your vehicle.

  5. 5

    Program and test

    We program the new key to your Equinox and test starting, locking and unlocking, plus any remote buttons, before we finish.

  • Valid photo ID matching the owner's information

Chevrolet Equinox keys — FAQs

What if I lost all my Chevrolet Equinox keys?
We handle all-keys-lost situations on site. After verifying ownership, we confirm the correct key by VIN and then cut and program a new key at your vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Equinox key?
Yes. Having a spare made while you still have a working key is typically simpler. We confirm the right key for your trim by VIN, then cut and program it.
What if I have no original key?
That's fine. We can create a key without an original, once you show proof of ownership and photo ID and we verify the VIN.
What's the difference between a push-button fob and a bladed key?
Earlier Equinox models use transponder bladed or remote-head flip keys that go into the ignition. Recent models on most trims use a proximity smart fob that starts the vehicle with a push button. Your VIN helps us confirm which applies to your Equinox.
What do you need from me to get started?
Proof of ownership, photo ID, and your VIN. We also need access to the vehicle. Having these ready helps the visit go smoothly.
Do I need to tow my Equinox to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your vehicle anywhere in Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County, so no towing is needed.
Are you available outside business hours?
Yes, we are available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you need help with your Equinox key.
