Losing the key to your Lexus ES is stressful, especially when the car relies on a proximity Smart Key and push-button start. Whether you have misplaced your only fob or want a spare before something goes wrong, we can help without you having to tow the car anywhere.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. We have no shop; we come to wherever the vehicle is parked, whether that is your home, workplace or a parking structure. We handle both a spare key when you still have a working one and the all-keys-lost situation when you have none.

The exact key, chip and programming for your ES depend on its trim and VIN. Before cutting or programming anything, we confirm the correct key by VIN so the replacement works properly with your specific vehicle.

Lexus ES key systems by year

Earlier years: Proximity Smart Key with push-button start and a mechanical emergency blade

These ES models use a proximity Smart Key that lets you start the car with a push button while the fob stays in your pocket or bag. Inside the fob is a mechanical emergency blade you can use to open the door if the fob battery is weak. Replacement generally involves identifying the correct fob and emergency blade for your car, cutting the blade if needed, and programming the new fob to the vehicle. Because the exact key and programming depend on trim and VIN, we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting. This applies for a spare or an all-keys-lost situation.

Recent years: Encrypted proximity Smart Key fob; programming confirmed by VIN

Newer ES models use an encrypted proximity Smart Key fob, which communicates securely with the car for entry and push-button start. Replacement generally involves matching the correct fob to your vehicle and programming it so the car recognizes it. The right fob and programming depend on the trim and VIN, so we confirm everything by VIN before proceeding. We can do this as an added spare or when every key has been lost, and we come to you.

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 describe the situation

    Contact us at (323) 997-8867 and tell us your ES model year, where the car is, and whether you have a spare key or have lost all keys.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    We are fully mobile, so a technician travels to your location anywhere in Greater Los Angeles or Ventura County. There is no shop to visit.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and VIN

    We check your photo ID and proof of ownership, then read the VIN to confirm the correct key for your trim.

  4. 4

    Prepare the key

    Once the key type is confirmed by VIN, we prepare the correct Smart Key fob and cut the emergency blade if your key requires one.

  5. 5

    Program and test

    We program the new key to your Lexus, then test entry, push-button start and any other keys you want working before we finish.

What to have ready

  • Proof of ownership, such as registration or title
  • A valid government-issued photo ID
  • The VIN, found on the dashboard near the windshield or on the door jamb sticker, or on your registration
  • Any working keys or fobs you still have, so we can program them or use them as a reference
  • Access to the vehicle at its current location

What affects the price

  • Whether you need a spare key or are in an all-keys-lost situation
  • The model year and trim, as confirmed by VIN
  • The type of Smart Key fob required for your car
  • Whether an emergency blade needs to be cut
  • How many keys you want made or programmed
  • Time of day and your location within the service area

Lexus ES keys — FAQs

What if I lost all keys to my Lexus ES?
We can help with all-keys-lost situations. We come to your car, verify ownership and VIN, confirm the correct key, and program a new Smart Key. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare key if I still have one?
Yes. Having a working key makes things simpler, and a spare is far easier to arrange before you lose your only one. We still confirm the correct key by VIN.
What if I have no original key at all?
That is fine. We can create a key from your VIN and ownership documents, provided you can prove ownership with ID and registration or title.
Is my ES push-button start or bladed?
Both, in a sense. The ES uses a proximity Smart Key with push-button start, and the fob contains a mechanical emergency blade for opening the door if the fob battery is weak.
Do the older and newer ES keys differ?
Earlier years use a proximity Smart Key with push-button start and an emergency blade. Recent years use an encrypted proximity Smart Key fob. In both cases the exact key and programming depend on trim and VIN.
What do I need to have ready?
Have your photo ID, proof of ownership and the VIN ready. We confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting or programming anything.
Do I need to tow my car to you?
No. We are mobile only and come to your vehicle, so there is no need to tow it anywhere.
