A BMW key is more than a piece of metal. On a 3 Series or 5 Series, the key carries encrypted data that the car checks before it will start, and many models use Comfort Access so the car unlocks as you approach with the key. When the only key goes missing, or the last spare stops working, you cannot simply have a copy cut at a hardware store. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and encrypted BMW keys and Comfort Access systems are a specialty of ours.

We are fully mobile, so there is no tow to a shop. Our technician drives to wherever your BMW is parked in Hawthorne, whether that is a driveway, an apartment garage, a work lot near the airport, or a street curb. We cover lost-key calls, spare-key duplication, and all-keys-lost situations where no working key remains. The exact key your car needs is confirmed by the VIN, so we match it to your specific vehicle instead of guessing from the model name.

How it works in Hawthorne

  1. 1

    Call and share your vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your BMW model, the approximate year, and where the car is parked. Let us know whether you have one working key, a damaged key, or none at all.

  2. 2

    We come to your BMW

    Our mobile locksmith drives to your vehicle anywhere in Hawthorne. Nothing needs to be towed, and the work is done right at the car.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN

    We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm which key your BMW requires. This keeps us from cutting or programming the wrong key for your 3 Series or 5 Series.

  4. 4

    Cut, program, and test

    We prepare the new key, whether it is a push-button smart key or a bladed style, and program it to your car. Then we test locking, unlocking, Comfort Access if equipped, and starting before we leave.

What affects the price

BMW keys across Hawthorne

Hawthorne is a busy mix of homes, aerospace work, and new development, and BMW owners here park in all kinds of places. We see calls from residents in Holly Glen and Ramona, where cars sit in driveways and on quiet residential streets, and from people in and around Bodger Park who get locked out or lose a key during a family outing. In the 360 South Bay community, many drivers park in shared or garage-style spaces, and we bring everything needed to the vehicle so you do not have to move it.

We serve ZIP codes 90250 and 90251, including commuters heading to the SpaceX headquarters on Rocket Road, workers at the aerospace campuses near Hawthorne Municipal Airport / Jack Northrop Field, and anyone who lost a key after a night out in the hometown of the Beach Boys. Wherever your BMW is parked in Hawthorne, call (323) 997-8867 any hour and we will come to you.

BMW keys in Hawthorne — FAQs

What if I lost all my BMW keys in Hawthorne?
We can help with all-keys-lost situations. We come to your car, verify ownership, confirm the correct key by VIN, and make and program a new key on site. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Can you make a spare BMW key?
Yes. Having a spare made is much easier than replacing keys after losing the last one. We can make an extra key for your 3 Series or 5 Series at your location in Hawthorne.
What if I don't have my original key at all?
You do not need the original. We use your VIN and proof of ownership to determine the right key and create a new one. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
What is the difference between a push-button key and a bladed key?
A push-button smart key works with Comfort Access and lets the car recognize you without using a blade. A bladed key has a physical cut that turns in a lock. Your VIN helps us confirm which type your BMW uses.
How do you confirm the right key for my BMW?
We use your VIN along with the vehicle details and proof of ownership. This confirms the correct key type for your specific car instead of relying on the model name alone.
Do I need to tow my BMW to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to the vehicle wherever it is parked in Hawthorne, so no towing is needed.
