A Ford key is more than a piece of metal. Many Fords use a PATS transponder key, and newer models such as the Explorer often use an Intelligent Access push-button key. The car has to recognize the key before it will start, so a hardware-store copy won't do the job. Whether you drive an F-150 for work along the Atlantic Avenue commercial strip or an Explorer for the family, we handle both key styles.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. We have no shop for you to visit. We drive to your vehicle in Cudahy, confirm the right key for your truck or SUV from the VIN, and make the key at the curb, in a driveway or in a parking lot. This works for a lost key, a worn-out spare or an all-keys-lost situation.
How it works in Cudahy
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the Ford model, year and where the vehicle is parked. Have the VIN ready, since it is on the dash near the windshield and on the door jamb sticker. We explain what to expect before we head out.
- 2
We come to your vehicle
Our mobile locksmith travels to you anywhere in Cudahy, day or night. Because everything happens at the vehicle, you never need a tow or a trip to a dealer.
- 3
Verify ownership and confirm the key
We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your Ford, whether a PATS-style transponder key or an Intelligent Access key.

Cut and program the new key
We make the key and program it to your Ford on site. If you have lost all keys, we can create a working key from scratch. Programming a spare is usually simpler when a working key already exists.
- 5
Test everything before we leave
We test the key in the door, the ignition or push-button start, and the remote functions. We suggest getting a spare so you are not stranded again.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and an Intelligent Access push-button key differ in hardware and programming work.
- Model year and trim: the F-150 and Explorer have changed over the years, which affects the key your VIN calls for.
- Lost-key situation: an all-keys-lost job takes more work than adding a spare when a working key exists.
- Number of keys: making more than one key in a single visit is often more efficient than coming back later.
- Time of service: late-night and urgent calls can be priced differently from scheduled visits.
Ford keys across Cudahy
Cudahy is a compact city, and Ford trucks and SUVs are a daily sight along the Atlantic Avenue corridor, around the Clara Street area and through the Santa Ana Street district. We serve all of it in ZIP 90201, from drivers parked near Cudahy Park and Lugo Park to people working along the Atlantic Avenue commercial strip or heading toward the Los Angeles River.
Many Cudahy lots hold several homes, with rear units down long shared driveways, which can make a lost key stressful after dark. Our mobile locksmiths work in those tight spots and can also help with related lock needs on the same visit, such as rekeying units with separate keys or fitting a padlock and gate latch on a driveway security gate. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
