The Chevrolet Silverado has used several key systems between 2007 and 2024. Depending on the model year and trim, your truck may use a transponder bladed key, a remote-head flip key, or a proximity push-button Smart fob. The exact key, chip and programming depend on your trim and VIN, so we never guess.

Whether you need a spare key or have lost every key, we handle it at your location. Crenshaw Lock Company has been serving the area since 1987 and is fully mobile. We have no shop, so we come to your Silverado at home, at work, or on the roadside.

Before any key is cut, we confirm the correct key for your truck by VIN and verify ownership. This helps ensure the new key matches your specific Silverado and works properly with its security system.

Chevrolet Silverado key systems by year

Earlier years: Transponder bladed and remote-head/flip keys

Earlier Silverados typically use a transponder key, either a traditional bladed key with a chip in the head or a remote-head/flip key that folds the blade into a fob with lock and unlock buttons. The blade is cut to match your locks, and the transponder must be programmed so the truck will start. If you have a working key, we can usually make a spare from it. If all keys are lost, we can generally create a new key from the VIN and ownership documents. The exact key type and programming depend on your trim and VIN, and we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting.

Recent years: Proximity push-button Smart fob on many trims; flip keys on base trims

Recent Silverados commonly come with a proximity Smart fob that lets you start the truck with a push button while the fob is inside, while base trims may still use a flip key. Smart fobs are programmed to the truck electronically rather than simply cut, and the right fob depends on trim and options. We confirm the correct key by VIN before ordering or cutting anything. This applies to spare keys and all-keys-lost situations, and we handle both at your vehicle.

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

Chevrolet Silverado keys — FAQs

What if I lost all keys to my Silverado?
We can help with all-keys-lost situations. We verify ownership, confirm the correct key by VIN, then cut and program a new key at your truck. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Silverado key?
Yes. A spare is a good idea before you lose your only key. We confirm the right key by VIN and program it to your truck on site.
I have no original key. Is that a problem?
No. With proof of ownership, photo ID and the VIN, we can generally create a key without an original, depending on your trim and system.
What is the difference between a push-button fob and a bladed key?
A bladed or flip key has a cut metal blade and a transponder chip. A proximity Smart fob lets you start the truck with a push button while the fob is inside. Which your Silverado uses depends on year, trim and VIN.
What do you need to get started?
Proof of ownership, photo ID and your VIN. We confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting, and we come to you since we are fully mobile.
Do I need to tow my truck anywhere?
No. We have no shop and come to your Silverado, so towing is generally not needed for key service.
Will the exact key and programming be the same for every Silverado?
No. The exact key, chip and programming vary by model year, trim and VIN, which is why we confirm by VIN first.
