Ford keys vary more than most drivers expect. Many F-150 and Explorer models use a transponder key tied to Ford's PATS anti-theft system, while others use a push-button Intelligent Access key that lets the truck or SUV start without a blade in the ignition. Which one your vehicle needs depends on the model, year and trim, and we confirm it with your VIN rather than guessing from the badge.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and every call is fully mobile. We have no shop for you to get to. Whether you are parked near Yale Ave in Claremont Village, on a campus street near The Claremont Colleges, or in the hills of North Claremont, we bring the equipment to your Ford and handle lost keys, extra spares and all-keys-lost situations on the spot.

How it works in Claremont

  1. 1

    Call and share your vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the model, the approximate year and where the Ford is parked. We ask about your situation: all keys lost, one key left, or a spare wanted. You will also need your VIN, which is visible at the base of the windshield or on the door-jamb label.

  2. 2

    We come to your Ford

    A mobile locksmith drives to your location in Claremont, whether that's a driveway, a Village parking spot or a campus lot. Everything is done at the vehicle, with no towing required in most cases.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN

    We ask for ID and proof of ownership before making any key. We then use your VIN to confirm which key type your F-150 or Explorer needs, whether a PATS transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key.

  4. 4

    Cut, program and test

    We prepare the new key to fit your Ford, program it to the vehicle, and test it thoroughly. That covers the remote functions and starting the engine. If you want a spare, we can make it during the same visit.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Claremont

Claremont is a walkable college town, and Ford drivers here get stranded in all sorts of places. Students and staff around The Claremont Colleges (Pomona, Harvey Mudd, Scripps, Claremont McKenna and Pitzer) sometimes lose a key in a busy lot, and shoppers along Yale Ave in Claremont Village can come back to a truck with no key in sight. We come to you in ZIP 91711 and meet you at the vehicle.

Ford trucks and SUVs are also common up in North Claremont and the Claraboya hillside, and near trailheads such as Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, where a lost key is a real problem on a quiet road. The same goes for visitors to the California Botanic Garden. Wherever the Ford is parked in Claremont, call (323) 997-8867 and we will bring the key service to it. Our team also handles home and business lock work in town, including Village Craftsman bungalows, but this page is about your Ford.

Ford keys in Claremont — FAQs

I lost all my Ford keys in Claremont. Can you still make a new one?
Yes. An all-keys-lost situation is something we handle regularly. We verify ownership, confirm the correct key from your VIN, and make and program a new key at your vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Ford key so I'm not stranded again?
Yes. Having a spare made while you still have a working key is generally simpler than starting from nothing. We can do it at your home, workplace or campus parking spot in Claremont.
What if I don't have an original key at all?
You can still get a replacement. We need proof that you own the vehicle and your VIN, then we create a key that matches your Ford. No original key is required.
What is the difference between a bladed key and a push-button Ford key?
A bladed transponder key is cut to turn in the ignition and talks to the PATS anti-theft system. A push-button Intelligent Access key lets you start the vehicle without inserting a blade. Which one your F-150 or Explorer uses depends on its model and year.
How do you know which key my Ford needs?
We use your VIN to confirm the correct key type for your specific vehicle, instead of relying on a guess. Having the VIN ready when you call (323) 997-8867 helps us prepare the right key.
Do I need to tow my F-150 or Explorer anywhere?
No. Our service is fully mobile, so we come to the vehicle in Claremont and do the work there. Towing is generally not necessary for key replacement.
Do you work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, for Ford owners in Claremont and the surrounding area.
