Losing the key to a Nissan is stressful, especially in Hawthorne, where many drivers commute to aerospace jobs, park at apartments, or run errands along Hawthorne Blvd. Whether you drive an Altima, a Sentra or a Rogue, we bring the equipment to wherever the car is sitting. There is no tow and no trip to a dealership.
Many Nissans here use the Intelligent Key, a push-button-start smart key, while other models use a bladed key with a transponder chip. We handle lost-key, spare-key and all-keys-lost situations. The exact key your car needs is confirmed by its VIN, so we never guess. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987.
How it works in Hawthorne
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, year and where the car is parked. We will ask for the VIN, usually visible at the base of the windshield or on the door jamb, so we can confirm the right key type.
- 2
We come to your Nissan
A mobile locksmith drives to your location in Hawthorne with cutting and programming equipment. Your car stays where it is, whether that is a driveway, an apartment lot or a workplace.
- 3
Verify ownership
Before we make a key, we ask for proof that you own the vehicle or are authorized to access it, such as ID and registration or title. This protects you and every other Nissan owner.

Cut and program the new key
We prepare the key that matches your car, whether it is an Intelligent Key fob or a bladed transponder key, and program it to your Nissan. If all keys are lost, we can make a new one without an original.
- 5
Test everything
We test that the key starts the car, locks and unlocks the doors, and that any remote buttons work. We also suggest adding a spare so you are not stranded again.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic bladed transponder key differs from a push-button Intelligent Key fob.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost.
- Model and year of your Altima, Sentra or Rogue, confirmed by the VIN.
- Number of keys needed, since adding a spare in the same visit is often more efficient.
- Time of day and your location, as after-hours service is available 24/7.
Nissan keys across Hawthorne
Hawthorne drivers park in a wide mix of places, from the quiet streets of Holly Glen and the area around Bodger Park to apartments in Ramona and the newer 360 South Bay community. We serve all of them, plus the 90250 and 90251 ZIP codes, and we come to your car wherever it is.
With SpaceX on Rocket Road, the legacy Northrop Grumman campuses and Hawthorne Municipal Airport nearby, many people work long shifts or odd hours. When a key goes missing in a work lot or after a late night, our 24/7 mobile service means you do not have to wait for a shop to open. We have served this area since 1987.
