City of Industry is not a typical car-key town. Very few people live here. Most of the people who lose a key are working: a driver at a distribution center off Valley Blvd, a night-shift employee at a cold-storage facility, a salesperson visiting an import/export office, or someone who pulled off SR-60 for a meeting and came back to find the key gone. A lost or snapped key in a warehouse lot is more than an inconvenience, because it can strand a shift, a delivery, or a company vehicle.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead tech David Shar built the business around a simple idea: come to the customer. We are fully mobile and have no storefront, so you never have to tow a car to a shop just to get a key made. We come to the parking lot, loading yard, or roadside where the vehicle is sitting, and we cut and program the replacement key there.

This page explains how replacement works for the vehicles you are likely to see in an industrial city: personal cars, work trucks, delivery vans, and fleet vehicles. It also covers what affects the cost, what we need from you, and what to do if you have lost every key you own.

How it works in City of Industry

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. We ask for the make, model, and year, where the vehicle is parked, and whether you have any working key at all. Whether it is a lot near Grand Crossing or a shoulder near an SR-60 on-ramp, we note the location so we can come prepared.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership

    Before we make a key for any vehicle, we need reasonable proof that you are entitled to it. That usually means a photo ID plus registration, title, or a company authorization for fleet vehicles. This protects owners and is a standard part of responsible automotive work.

  3. 3

    Identify the key type

    Modern keys range from basic cut keys to transponder keys, remote-head keys, and smart or push-button proximity keys. We identify what your vehicle uses, because that determines the blank, the cutting method, and the programming steps.

  4. 4

    Cut the key on site

    When you have no original, we can generate a cut from the vehicle's lock or from key code information tied to the vehicle, then cut the blank at your location. Because we work from a mobile setup, the work happens beside the car instead of at a counter.

  5. 5

    Program and pair the key

    Most newer vehicles need the new key paired electronically with the immobilizer so the engine will start. We program the key and any remote functions, then add or clear keys when appropriate.

  6. 6

    Test everything before you go

    We test the key in the door, trunk or glovebox if applicable, ignition or start button, and remote buttons. If you lost the old key, ask about removing it from the vehicle's memory so a lost key cannot be used.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some brands use more complex security systems than others.
  • Key type: a simple cut key, a transponder key, a remote-head key, and a smart proximity key differ in hardware and programming effort.
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which can change how much work is needed to generate a new one.
  • Number of keys needed, such as a spare for a fleet vehicle or a full set for a company van.
  • Time of day and location, because after-hours and night-shift calls differ from a daytime visit to a lot.
  • Extra work such as damaged ignition cylinders or removing lost keys from the vehicle's memory.

Why City of Industry chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we come to the vehicle, so you do not need a tow to a shop just for a key.
  • In business since 1987, with owner and lead tech David Shar leading the work.
  • Available 24/7, which matters in an area where shifts run through the night.
  • Comfortable with both personal cars and work vehicles such as vans and fleet units, plus the commercial locks around them.
  • We explain what affects the cost before we begin rather than surprising you afterward.
  • We verify ownership before cutting keys, which keeps your vehicle secure.

Car Key Replacement across City of Industry

City of Industry is mostly warehouses, distribution centers, cold-storage buildings, light manufacturing, and flex office units, with only a few hundred residents. That shapes our calls. Many car key jobs here start in a big employee lot or a loading yard rather than a driveway, whether that is a facility off Valley Blvd, a business near Azusa Ave, or the industrial district next to Bassett. In ZIP codes like 91746 and 91744, we often meet people who left their keys on a dock or lost a fob while working a long shift.

The city stretches from the Grand Crossing area to Industry Hills, where Pacific Palms Resort and Industry Hills Golf Club (with the Eisenhower and Zaharias courses) draw visitors who may be far from home when a key goes missing. The area is also crossed by SR-60 and I-605, so drivers passing through sometimes need help at the roadside. The former Puente Hills Mall site, known to film fans from Back to the Future, is a reminder of how much of the city has changed.

Because we also handle commercial hardware, we can often help the same business with its vehicles and its buildings, including master-key systems, panic bars on dock man-doors, and padlocks on storage yards. If a company van key and a gate padlock both need attention, that is one call to (323) 997-8867.

Car Key Replacement in City of Industry — FAQs

Can you make a car key if I have lost every key?
Yes, in most cases. We can cut and program a new key on site even with no original. We will need proof of ownership first. Call (323) 997-8867 with the vehicle details.
Do I need to tow my car to you?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your vehicle in City of Industry, whether it is in a warehouse lot, a loading yard, or on the roadside.
Are you available at night?
Yes, we are available 24/7. That includes overnight and weekend calls, which matter in an area full of night-shift facilities. Call (323) 997-8867 at any hour.
What do I need to show you?
Bring a photo ID plus proof that you are entitled to the vehicle, such as registration or title. For company vehicles, a written authorization from the business is helpful.
Can you replace a smart key or push-button start fob?
Often yes, depending on the vehicle. Proximity keys need to be programmed to the car. Tell us the make, model, and year when you call so we can confirm.
Can you help with work vans and fleet vehicles?
Yes. Many calls here involve delivery vans and company vehicles. We can make replacement or spare keys, and we can also help with fleet and gate hardware at the same facility.
How is the price decided?
It depends on the vehicle, the key type, whether you have an existing key, how many keys you need, and the time and place. We explain the factors when you call.
Will the lost key still start my car?
It might. Ask us about removing lost keys from the vehicle's memory during programming where the vehicle allows it, so the missing key cannot be used to start the car.
