Losing a car key is stressful anywhere, but in Glendora it often happens in the middle of a day that is already full: a hike near the Big Dalton Canyon trailheads, a class at Citrus College, a stroll through Glendora Village, or a long commute on the Foothill Freeway. Suddenly the key is gone, or it snapped in the ignition, and the car is sitting where you left it. We are a fully mobile locksmith, so there is no shop to tow your car to. We bring the equipment to you.
Modern car keys are more than a piece of cut metal. Most vehicles built in recent years use a transponder chip, a remote fob, or a smart proximity key that must be programmed to the car's computer. A hardware-store copy will turn a lock but will not start the engine. Our work covers both the physical cutting and the electronic programming, and it can be done from the vehicle's lock and onboard system even when no working original exists.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on straightforward, honest service. When you call (323) 997-8867, we will ask a few questions about the vehicle, explain what is involved for your specific key type, and then come to wherever the car is parked in Glendora.
How it works in Glendora
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Phone (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the year, make and model, where the car is, and whether you have any working key. Whether the key is lost, broken, or stolen changes the approach, so we ask a few quick questions.
- 2
Confirm the vehicle and key type
We determine whether your car uses a basic cut key, a transponder key, a remote head key, a switchblade key, or a push-button smart key. This tells us what needs to be cut and how it must be programmed.
- 3
Verify ownership
Before making a key, we ask for proof that the car is yours, such as ID matched to registration or title. This protects you and every other vehicle owner in town.
- 4
Cut the key on site
Using the vehicle's lock or key code information, we cut a new key at your car, whether it is in a driveway off Lone Hill Ave, a lot near Citrus College, or a roadside pull-out. No original key is required.
- 5
Program to the vehicle
We connect programming equipment to the car and pair the new key or fob so the engine will start. Remote buttons are synced when your vehicle supports it.
- 6
Test everything before we leave
We try the door, trunk, remote functions and ignition several times, and make sure you are comfortable with the new key. If any old lost keys can be removed from the car's memory, we can discuss that.

What affects the price
- Key technology: a basic cut key, a transponder key, a remote-head key and a smart proximity key involve very different parts and programming work.
- Vehicle make, model and year: some manufacturers require more involved procedures or specialized codes than others.
- Whether you have a working key: copying an existing key is often simpler than creating one from scratch when all keys are lost.
- Number of keys needed: having a spare made while we are already on site is usually more efficient than a second visit later.
- Time of day and location: we operate around the clock, and after-hours calls or hard-to-reach spots can affect the final quote.
- Extra services: erasing a lost key from the car's memory or repairing a damaged ignition or door lock adds work beyond the key itself.
Why Glendora chooses us
- Fully mobile: we work at your car, so you do not need a tow to a dealership or a ride to a shop.
- Works without an original key: we can cut and program a new key from the vehicle itself when every key is lost.
- On-site programming: cutting and electronic pairing are done in one visit when the vehicle allows it.
- Serving the region since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
- Clear explanation up front: we tell you what your key type requires before work begins, with no pressure to add anything unnecessary.
- Available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, so a lost key does not have to wait until business hours.
Car Key Replacement across Glendora
Glendora covers a lot of different settings, and a lost key can happen in any of them. In North Glendora, where foothill estates sit along winding streets and some homes are behind gates or long private drives, a car may be parked far from the road, and we are used to navigating those approaches. In Glendora Village, the historic downtown with its boutique storefronts and shared parking, we can usually work right at the curb or in a nearby lot. South Glendora is mostly post-war single-family tract neighborhoods, where driveway service is the norm.
We work across both Glendora ZIP codes, 91740 and 91741, and reach drivers near Citrus College, the Glendora Country Club area, the foothill trailheads at Big Dalton Canyon, and along Grand Ave, Glendora Ave, Lone Hill Ave and the historic Route 66 corridor of Alosta Ave and Foothill Blvd. If your key went missing along the Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) side of town, tell us where the car is parked and we will plan the visit.
Because we are mobile only, there is no storefront to visit. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us where you are in Glendora, and we will come to you.
