Commerce is a city people drive through and work in as much as they live in it. I-5, I-710 and SR-60 all cross within a few miles, and the trucks, delivery vans, fleet pickups and commuter cars that move through here put a lot of wear on keys. A fob that gets dropped in a loading yard, run through a wash, or left in a jacket pocket does not always survive. When it fails, or disappears, the car can become a real problem, especially if it is a work vehicle.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no storefront to drive to and no tow needed. We bring the cutting and programming equipment to wherever the vehicle is parked, from a bungalow driveway in Rosewood Park to a lot near the Citadel Outlets or an employee lot by the Commerce Casino.

Key fob replacement covers several situations: a traditional remote head key with a blade and buttons, a flip key, and a smart or proximity key for push-button start cars. We can replace a lost fob, add a spare when you only have one left, or replace a broken one whose buttons or case have failed. Because we work on cars every day, we will tell you honestly when a fob is a simple job and when your particular vehicle has extra steps.

How it works in Commerce

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model, year, and whether you have a working key, a broken fob, or no key at all. That helps us bring the right fob type and programming tools for your car.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership

    Before we make or program a key, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, such as registration and a matching ID. This protects you and is a normal part of responsible automotive locksmith work.

  3. 3

    Identify the correct fob and key type

    We check whether your car uses a remote head key, a flip key, or a smart proximity key, and match the frequency and chip. Many fobs look alike but will not program to a different vehicle, so we verify before cutting or pairing anything.

  4. 4

    Cut the blade and program the fob

    If the key has a physical blade, we cut it on site. Then we program the transponder and remote functions to the vehicle's computer. On cars with all keys lost, this may involve creating a new key from the vehicle's data rather than copying an existing one.

  5. 5

    Test every function

    We test door locks, trunk or hatch release, panic, remote start where equipped, and the engine start. We also confirm that any old or lost fob handling is explained so you know what the car will and will not recognize.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model and year, since some brands use more complex security systems than others
  • Type of key: a basic remote head key, a flip key, or a smart proximity key all involve different hardware
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the programming method
  • Whether the blade needs to be cut, including laser-cut or high-security blades
  • Number of fobs needed, such as adding a spare at the same visit
  • Time of day and the location of the vehicle, since we are available around the clock

Key Fob Replacement across Commerce

Commerce is mostly industrial, with warehouses, distribution centers, cold storage and the large BNSF Hobart intermodal rail yard shaping daily life. That means a lot of work vehicles: company pickups, vans and personal cars parked in employee lots along Washington Blvd, Atlantic Blvd, Telegraph Rd and Eastern Ave. A driver finishing a shift in the Citadel district or near the yard who finds the fob missing does not want to wait until morning, and we answer calls at any hour.

Residential pockets such as Rosewood Park and Bandini, with their 1940s and 1950s stucco bungalows and post-war tract homes, often have cars parked on the street or in narrow driveways. We program fobs right there at the curb. The same goes for Bristow Park and for visitors parked near the Commerce Library, Rosewood Park itself, or the Commerce Casino, where a lost fob can ruin an evening.

We serve all of Commerce, including ZIP codes 90040, 90091, 90022 and 90023, and the freeway corridors that connect it to the rest of Los Angeles County. If your fob is gone or failing, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Key Fob Replacement in Commerce — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I have lost every key to my car in Commerce?
Yes, in many cases. We come to your vehicle, verify ownership, and create and program a new key to the car. The exact method depends on the make and year. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details.
Do you work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7, which matters in Commerce where many people work late shifts and overnight logistics hours.
Do I need to tow my car to you?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We bring the equipment to your car, whether it is in a driveway in Rosewood Park, a work lot off Washington Blvd, or a parking space near the Citadel Outlets.
What is the difference between a remote head key, a flip key and a smart key?
A remote head key has the blade and buttons in one piece. A flip key folds the blade into the fob. A smart or proximity key lets the car unlock and start without inserting a blade. Each uses different hardware and programming.
What do I need to show before you make a new fob?
We ask for proof of ownership, typically registration or title along with matching photo ID. It is a standard safeguard and protects you from someone else getting a key to your car.
Will my old lost fob still work after you program a new one?
On many vehicles we can erase lost keys from the car's memory so only the keys you hold will start it. Ask us when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will explain what is possible for your model.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
Sometimes. Online fobs may be the wrong frequency, locked to another vehicle, or low quality. We will check what you have, tell you honestly whether it can be programmed, and bring a reliable alternative if it cannot.
Can you help a business with several fleet vehicles in Commerce?
Yes. We can replace or add fobs for work vehicles and also help with commercial locks on facilities. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss the vehicles and what you need.
