Losing the only key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer is stressful, especially when the truck is parked at a Lake Balboa apartment, a driveway off Balboa Blvd, or a lot near the Sepulveda Basin. Many Fords use a PATS transponder key, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. Each type has to be matched to your specific vehicle before it will start the engine.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our service is 100% mobile. We have no shop for you to get to, so there is no tow needed just to start the job. We bring the equipment to wherever the Ford is parked, and we handle lost keys, extra spares, and all-keys-lost situations right at the vehicle.

How it works in Lake Balboa

  1. 1

    Call and share your Ford details

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the model, the year, and where the Ford is parked in Lake Balboa. Let us know if you have any working key left, or if every key is lost.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    Our mobile technician drives to your location, whether that is a driveway, a street, or a lot near the park. Since we work on site, you will not need a tow.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN

    We ask for proof you own the vehicle and use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your Ford. A PATS transponder key and an Intelligent Access push-button key are not interchangeable, so the VIN settles it before anything is cut or programmed.

  4. 4

    Cut and program the new key

    We prepare the new key to match your Ford and set it up to work with the vehicle. We then test the key's functions, including starting the engine and, where applicable, the remote features, before we finish.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Lake Balboa

Lake Balboa is a mix of settings, and each presents its own key problem. Around the Sepulveda Basin and the Lake Balboa park area, people park near Anthony C. Beilenson Park, the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area, and The Japanese Garden (SuihoEn), and a key can be lost on a walk or at a picnic. In the Balboa Blvd residential tracts, F-150 and Explorer owners often keep a single key on a hook at home, so one misplaced key can leave a household without a spare. We meet you at the driveway or curb in ZIP 91406 and handle the job there.

Along the Victory/Vanowen multifamily corridor, many residents park in shared lots or on the street, and a lost Ford key can mean getting a new key without a ride to anywhere else. Our mobile service handles that on the spot. Whether you are near Woodley Park, the Sepulveda Dam, or a quiet side street, call (323) 997-8867 any hour, and we will come to your Ford.

Ford keys in Lake Balboa — FAQs

I lost all my Ford keys in Lake Balboa. Can you still make a new one?
Yes. All-keys-lost is a job we handle regularly. We come to your Ford, verify ownership, use the VIN to confirm the right key, and then prepare and program a new one. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Should I get a spare before I lose my last key?
Yes. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is generally simpler and less costly than an all-keys-lost situation. We can do it at your home or workplace in Lake Balboa, since we are fully mobile.
Can you make a key if I have no original key and no paperwork?
Often, yes. We confirm the correct key by VIN and need reasonable proof that you own the vehicle, such as a registration and ID. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will tell you what to have ready.
What is the difference between a PATS key and an Intelligent Access key?
A PATS key is typically a bladed key with a transponder that the truck must recognize to start. An Intelligent Access key is a push-button style key that works with a start button. Which one your F-150 or Explorer uses depends on its year and trim.
How do you know which key my Ford needs?
We use the VIN and the vehicle details to confirm the correct key type before we cut or program anything. That avoids buying a key that will not work with your Ford.
Do I need to tow my Ford to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to the vehicle wherever it is parked in Lake Balboa, so no tow is needed for key replacement.
