Losing a key fob in Glendora can happen anywhere: at a Big Dalton Canyon trailhead after a morning hike, in a parking space near Glendora Village, or in the lot at Citrus College after a long class day. Modern fobs are more than a button remote. Many contain a transponder chip, and some are proximity keys that the car must recognize before it will start. When one disappears or stops working, the car may not start at all, and a tow to a dealer is often the first suggestion people hear.

Crenshaw Lock Company is a fully mobile locksmith, so there is no shop to drive to. We come to the car. That matters when the vehicle won't start, or when your only working key has just broken in half. We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business on handling these jobs at the curb, in the driveway, or in the parking lot.

This page explains how fob replacement works, what influences the cost, and what to have ready when you call. We don't quote prices on a web page because the right answer depends on your exact vehicle, so we explain the factors instead and help you understand the job before work begins.

How it works in Glendora

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model, and year, whether you have any working key left, and whether the fob is lost, cracked, or simply not responding. This helps us plan the right fob and programming method before we arrive.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    Because we are fully mobile, we meet you where the car is: a North Glendora driveway, a street in south Glendora, or a lot near Glendora Village. You don't need to tow the vehicle anywhere.

  3. 3

    Confirm ownership

    Before cutting or programming anything, we ask for reasonable proof that the vehicle is yours, such as ID and registration or title. This protects you and every other vehicle owner.

  4. 4

    Cut and prepare the replacement

    If your fob includes an emergency key blade, we cut it to match the vehicle. We then check that the replacement fob is compatible with the car's system, whether it uses a standard remote, a transponder, or a proximity design.

  5. 5

    Program and test

    We pair the new fob to the vehicle's computer and test each function: lock, unlock, trunk or hatch, panic, and starting the engine. If you want an old lost fob removed from the system, ask us and we will discuss whether your vehicle supports that.

  6. 6

    Spare and wrap-up

    We suggest having a spare made while the equipment is already out, since adding a key is usually simpler than starting over after losing your last one. You leave with everything working and a clear explanation of what was done.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some brands use far more complex security systems than others.
  • Type of key: a basic remote, a transponder key with a chip, or a smart/proximity fob that starts the car with a push button.
  • Whether you still have a working key. Adding a copy is often simpler than creating a first key when every key is lost.
  • Whether the fob needs an emergency blade cut or the ignition or door lock has an issue that requires additional work.
  • Whether a used or aftermarket fob is acceptable or an original-equipment part is needed for your vehicle.
  • Time of day and how far the technician must travel, since we operate 24/7 across a wide service area.

Why Glendora chooses us

  • Fully mobile service. There is no storefront, so every job is done at your car, saving a tow.
  • Available 24/7, including nights and weekends, for situations like a lost fob after an evening in Glendora Village.
  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
  • We explain the job and the pricing factors before work begins, so there are no surprises at the end.
  • We handle both older transponder keys and newer smart/proximity fobs, and we will tell you honestly if a vehicle is better handled by the dealer.
  • We verify ownership before programming, which protects you and the integrity of the trade.

Key Fob Replacement across Glendora

Glendora is a foothill city, and that shapes how people lose and replace fobs. Hikers heading to Big Dalton Canyon and the foothill trailheads sometimes drop a fob on the trail or leave one in a jacket, then return to a car that won't unlock. Students and staff at Citrus College, and shoppers and diners in Glendora Village, often park for hours, and a fob that goes missing in a crowded lot is a common call. We reach those spots without asking you to move the car.

Residents in North Glendora's foothill estates often park on sloped or private drives, sometimes behind gates, and many drive newer vehicles with proximity keys. We come to the driveway so you aren't stuck trying to move a car that can't start. In south Glendora, where post-war tract homes line quiet streets, a spare fob for a family car is a practical safeguard. We serve both ZIP codes, 91740 and 91741, with access from the Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) as well as Grand Ave, Glendora Ave, Lone Hill Ave, and the historic Route 66 corridor along Alosta Ave and Foothill Blvd.

Whether you're near Glendora Country Club or just off Route 66, call (323) 997-8867 and we'll work out the next step. We're mobile, so you can stay with your vehicle.

Key Fob Replacement in Glendora — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I've lost all my keys in Glendora?
In many cases, yes. Creating a first key when every key is lost takes more steps than copying an existing one, but it is often possible on site. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details and we'll tell you what to expect.
Do I need to tow my car to you?
No. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile with no storefront. We come to your car in North Glendora, Glendora Village, south Glendora, or anywhere nearby.
Can you program a smart or proximity key?
We work on many smart and push-button-start fobs. Support varies by make, model, and year, so call (323) 997-8867 and we'll confirm whether your vehicle is something we can handle.
What do I need to show to prove the car is mine?
We ask for reasonable proof of ownership, such as a government ID along with registration or title. This protects you and keeps programming responsible.
How much does a replacement key fob cost?
It depends on the vehicle, the type of fob, whether you have a working key, and the time and distance involved. We don't post fixed figures because they would be misleading. Call (323) 997-8867 and we'll explain what affects your job.
Is it cheaper to go to the dealer?
It depends on the car. The dealer usually requires a tow or a trip in, while we come to you. We'll be honest if your vehicle is better served at a dealer.
Can you make a spare fob so this doesn't happen again?
Yes, and we recommend it. Adding a spare while we're already there is usually easier than starting from scratch after losing your last key. Call (323) 997-8867 to ask.
Do you work evenings and weekends in Glendora?
Yes. We're available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, which helps when a fob goes missing after hours.
