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.

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.

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.
