Losing the key to your F-150 is stressful, especially when the truck is your work vehicle. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our service is fully mobile. We have no shop to tow your truck to. We come to wherever the F-150 is parked, whether that is a job site, a driveway or a parking structure.

The F-150 has used more than one key system across the 2007–2024 model years. Which key your truck needs depends on the trim level and the VIN, so we confirm the correct key by VIN before any cutting or programming begins. This helps avoid buying a key that looks right but will not work with your truck.

Whether you need a spare while you still have a working key or you have lost every key, we can help. A spare is usually simpler and more affordable than starting over after all keys are lost, so it is worth making one before the last key goes missing.

Ford F-150 key systems by year

Earlier years: PATS transponder bladed key, often integrated remote-head/flip

Earlier F-150 trucks generally use a bladed metal key with a transponder built into the head, which works with the truck's passive anti-theft system. Many versions combine the blade and remote buttons in a single remote-head or flip-style key. Replacement generally involves cutting a new blade and programming the transponder so the truck recognizes it, plus pairing the remote functions if the key has them. The exact key, chip and programming depend on trim and VIN, and we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting. This applies whether you need a spare or have lost all keys.

Recent years: Intelligent Access proximity fob with push-button start on many trims

More recent F-150s on many trims use an Intelligent Access proximity fob, which lets you unlock the doors and start the truck with a push button while the fob is nearby. Replacement generally means supplying a compatible fob and programming it to the truck so it is recognized. Some fobs also contain a hidden emergency blade for backup entry. Because the right fob depends on trim and VIN, we confirm the correct one by VIN before ordering or programming. We can do this for a 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.

    We test locking, unlocking, starting and any remote or push-button functions, and can make an additional spare while we are there.

What to have ready

  • Proof of ownership, such as the registration or title

  • The VIN, found on the dashboard near the windshield, the driver door jamb or your registration
  • Any remaining keys or fobs for the truck, if you have them

What affects the price

Ford F-150 keys — FAQs

What if I lost all my F-150 keys?
We can help with all-keys-lost situations. We come to your truck, verify ownership and VIN, and make and program a new key. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare F-150 key?
Yes. If you still have a working key, making a spare is generally simpler than replacing after all keys are lost. We confirm the correct key by VIN first.
I never had an original key. Can you still help?
Usually yes. With proof of ownership, photo ID and the VIN, we can work out the right key for the truck, even if you bought it used without a key.
What is the difference between a push-button fob and a bladed key?
Earlier F-150s generally use a bladed transponder key, sometimes with built-in remote buttons. Recent trims often use a proximity fob with push-button start. Your trim and VIN determine which one your truck needs.
What do you need to make my key?
Proof of ownership, a matching photo ID and the VIN. We use the VIN to confirm the correct key before cutting or programming.
Do I need to tow my truck?
No. We are fully mobile and have no shop, so we come to the truck and do the work on site.
Will the key I get work with my exact truck?
The exact key, chip and programming depend on your trim and VIN. That is why we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting anything.
