Losing the key to a Ford is stressful, especially when it's the truck you rely on for work or the Explorer that carries the family. Many Fords use a transponder system such as PATS, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. These keys have to be set up to communicate with your vehicle's computer, so a copy from a hardware counter usually won't start the engine.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are mobile only. There's no shop to tow your truck to. Our technician comes to wherever your Ford is parked in Downey, whether that's at home, at work, or in a parking lot, and handles lost-key, spare-key, and all-keys-lost situations on site.
How it works in Downey
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us your Ford's model and year and where it's parked. We'll ask for the VIN, which is how the correct key type is confirmed for your specific vehicle rather than guessed from the model name.

Our mobile technician travels to your F-150 or Explorer in Downey. Nothing needs to be towed, and you don't have to find a ride to a shop.

Verify ownership and identify the key
Before we cut or program anything, we confirm you're the owner or authorized user. We then match the key style, whether a bladed PATS-style key or a push-button Intelligent Access key, to your VIN.

Cut, program, and test
We make the new key and program it to your Ford, then test it on the ignition or push-button start, along with door and remote functions. If you only had one key, we can add a spare during the same visit.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and a push-button Intelligent Access key are different products with different costs.
- Number of keys: all keys lost, one spare, or several spares change the work involved.
- Model and year of your F-150 or Explorer, which affects the system and key style confirmed by the VIN.
- Whether you have an original key to work from or the vehicle needs a fresh setup from scratch.
- Time and location of the call, since we're available 24/7 across the area.
