Losing a car key is stressful anywhere, but in Granada Hills it tends to happen in very ordinary places: a school drop-off near Granada Hills Charter High School, a trailhead at O'Melveny Park, a grocery run along Balboa Blvd, or a driveway in the Knollwood area. Because this is a spread-out northern Valley community where most people depend on their cars, a missing key can stop the whole day.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit and no need to tow your vehicle to a dealer. We come to wherever the car is parked, cut a new key to your vehicle's code, and program it to the car on site. This works even if you have lost every key you owned, which is called an all-keys-lost situation and is often the one people fear most.

David Shar has run the business since 1987, and that long history with vehicles and locks shapes how we work: we explain what your car needs, tell you what the job involves before we begin, and avoid unnecessary steps. Whether you have a basic cut key, a transponder key, a remote-head key, or a push-button start fob, the goal is the same: a working key in your hand, in your driveway or parking spot, without a tow.

How it works in Granada Hills

  1. 1

    You call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year of the vehicle, where it is parked, and whether you have any working key left. We are available 24/7, so a late-night call from a Balboa Blvd parking lot is as welcome as a morning one.

  2. 2

    We confirm ownership

    Before cutting or programming anything, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, such as ID matching the registration or title. This protects you and every other car owner in Granada Hills from key duplication by the wrong person.

  3. 3

    We come to your vehicle

    Our mobile service travels to you, whether that is a ranch-home driveway off Devonshire St, a hillside street near the foothills, or a lot near the Ronald Reagan Fwy. Everything needed is carried with us, so the work happens where the car sits.

  4. 4

    The key is cut to your vehicle

    With no original key, we can generate a cut from the vehicle's information and create a new key blank cut to match. If the car uses a laser-cut or high-security key, we use the right method for that style rather than forcing a generic blank.

  5. 5

    We program the key to the car

    Most modern vehicles need the new key or fob paired electronically with the immobilizer. We program it on site and, where the vehicle allows, can add a spare so you are not stranded again.

  6. 6

    We test everything before we leave

    We confirm the key turns the lock and starts the engine, and that remote functions like lock and unlock work. We then walk through what we did so there are no surprises.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some cars use simple keys while others require more involved programming.
  • Key type: a basic cut key, transponder key, remote-head key, smart key, or push-button start fob each involve different parts and procedures.
  • Whether you have any working key. Having a spare to copy is usually simpler than an all-keys-lost situation where a key must be created from scratch.
  • Number of keys needed, since adding a spare during the same visit is often more practical than a second call later.
  • Time of day and location of the vehicle, as after-hours and more remote foothill calls can affect the overall quote.
  • Any condition of the vehicle that adds complexity, such as a damaged ignition or a lock that has been worn or tampered with.

Why Granada Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987. We bring the work to your car and do not operate a storefront.
  • On-site cutting and programming, so most jobs do not require towing to a dealership.
  • Able to help in all-keys-lost situations, not only when you have a key to duplicate.
  • We explain the job and the price factors before work starts, with no pressure to add things you do not need.
  • Always available, 24/7, which matters for lockouts and lost keys that never happen at convenient times.
  • Owner-led by David Shar, with decades of hands-on locksmith experience behind how the work is done.

Car Key Replacement across Granada Hills

Granada Hills spans a wide stretch of the northern San Fernando Valley, from the older core along Chatsworth St in Old Granada Hills to the mid-century Eichler homes of Balboa Highlands and the quieter streets around Knollwood. Many residents in ZIP codes 91344 and 91394 park in driveways and carports on 1950s and 1960s ranch-style lots, and that is exactly where we handle most key replacements: right at the curb or in the driveway, without moving the vehicle.

Drivers here cover a lot of ground. A commute may take you along Balboa Blvd, Zelzah Ave, or Hayvenhurst Ave to the I-405, the Ronald Reagan Fwy (SR-118), or I-5 to the east. Weekend trips often head to O'Melveny Park, Bee Canyon, or the Bull Creek area, where a key can easily slip out of a pocket on a trail or in a dusty parking area. Foothill heat and Santa Ana dust are also hard on key fobs and ignition cylinders over time, so a key that works poorly may be worth replacing before it fails entirely.

If your key is lost or broken in Granada Hills, call (323) 997-8867. We will come to your location, whether that is near Granada Hills Charter High School, along San Fernando Mission Blvd, or at a home in Old Granada Hills, and get a new key cut and programmed on the spot.

Car Key Replacement in Granada Hills — FAQs

Can you make a car key if I have lost all of my keys?
Yes. All-keys-lost is a common call. After confirming ownership, we cut and program a new key on site. Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year to get started.
Do I need to tow my car from Granada Hills to a dealer?
In most cases, no. We are fully mobile and do the cutting and programming where your car is parked, whether that is a driveway, a street, or a parking lot.
Do you work at night and on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. You can reach us at (323) 997-8867 at any hour, including holidays.
What proof of ownership will I need?
We typically ask for photo ID that matches the vehicle registration or title. This is a standard safeguard to make sure keys are only made for the rightful owner.
Can you replace a key fob or smart key as well as a basic key?
Many vehicles can be handled, including transponder keys, remote-head keys, and push-button start fobs. Tell us your vehicle details when you call and we can confirm what is possible.
Is it cheaper to have a spare made now rather than wait?
Often it is more convenient, since a spare made while we are already there avoids a second emergency call. Pricing depends on your vehicle and key type, and we explain it before starting.
Will the old lost key still work after you program a new one?
On many vehicles, programming can be set up so the lost key is removed from the car's memory. Ask us when you call, and we will tell you what your vehicle supports.
Can you come to a trailhead or foothill area near O'Melveny Park?
We serve Granada Hills as a mobile service, including areas near the foothills. Call (323) 997-8867 with your location and we will confirm how we can reach you.
