Modern BMWs use encrypted keys and, on many models, Comfort Access keyless entry. A key that looks right but isn't matched to your car won't start it, so a hardware-store copy or generic fob is rarely the answer. Our technicians work on 3 Series and 5 Series keys every week, and Comfort Access and encrypted keys are our specialty.

We are a mobile service only. There is no shop to tow to: we drive to your BMW, whether it sits near Lake Balboa, in a Sepulveda Basin parking area or on your own street. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we handle lost keys, added spares and all-keys-lost cases at the vehicle.

How it works in Lake Balboa

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your BMW's model and year, where it is parked, and whether you have one working key, a damaged key or none at all. We'll explain what to expect and give you a clear quote before we head out.

  2. 2

    We come to your BMW

    A mobile technician drives to your vehicle in Lake Balboa, with the equipment needed to work on site. Nothing needs to be towed, and you stay with your 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 the correct key type for your specific BMW. We don't guess from the make alone, because 3 Series and 5 Series keys vary by model year and equipment.

  4. 4

    Cut, program and test

    We provide the key, whether bladed, push-button or Comfort Access, and set it up to work with your car. Then we test that it starts the engine, locks and unlocks, and that any spare works too.

  5. 5

    Add a spare while we're there

    If you were down to one key or none, we suggest adding a spare during the same visit. It's usually simpler than a second emergency call later.

What affects the price

BMW keys across Lake Balboa

Lake Balboa sits in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, and BMW owners here park in a wide mix of places. Around the Sepulveda Basin and Lake Balboa park area, a key can be lost on a walk near Anthony C. Beilenson Park, at the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area, or after a visit to the Japanese Garden at Tillman. Along the residential tracts off Balboa Blvd, many cars are parked in driveways or at the curb, and we can work right there. In the ZIP code 91406, we also serve the Victory/Vanowen multifamily corridor, where apartment parking lots and tight garages are common.

Whether you're in a ZIP 91406 apartment complex, near Woodley Park or close to Sepulveda Dam, the process is the same: we come to the car, confirm the key by VIN, and get you driving again. Our locksmiths also help with the home side of things if you need it, but this page is about your BMW. If you've lost your only key or your fob stopped working, call (323) 997-8867 any hour.

BMW keys in Lake Balboa — FAQs

What if I've lost all my BMW keys in Lake Balboa?
An all-keys-lost situation can still be solved on site. We verify ownership, confirm the correct key by VIN, and make and program a new key at your car. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare BMW key if I still have one?
Yes. Adding a spare while you have a working key is typically the easiest route. We come to you, confirm the key type by VIN, and set up the spare so both keys work.
What if I don't have an original key at all?
You don't need an original key. We use your VIN and proof of ownership to determine the right key for your BMW, then create one from scratch at your vehicle.
Is a push-button key different from a bladed key?
Yes. A bladed key has a physical cut blade, while push-button and Comfort Access keys rely on a proximity or remote system. Which one your 3 Series or 5 Series uses depends on the year and equipment, which the VIN helps confirm.
How do you confirm the right key for my BMW?
We use your VIN, along with the model and year, to identify the correct key type. We don't guess based on appearance. If you have questions before booking, call (323) 997-8867.
Do I need to tow my BMW to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to wherever your car is parked in Lake Balboa, including driveways, apartment lots and street parking.
Do you offer service at night and on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, for BMW key replacement across Lake Balboa and the surrounding area.
