Losing the key to a Ford is stressful, especially when it is a work truck like an F-150 or a family Explorer you rely on every day. Many Fords use a PATS transponder key, where a coded chip in the key has to be recognized by the vehicle before it will start. Newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. Either way, a plain hardware-store copy will not start the engine.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. We have no shop for you to tow to. We bring the equipment to wherever the Ford is parked in Long Beach, whether that is a driveway, a parking structure or a curb, and we cut and program the key there. We confirm the exact key for your vehicle by its VIN, so you get the right one the first time.
How it works in Long Beach
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the model, the year and whether you have any working key. We will ask for the VIN, which is visible at the base of the windshield or on the door jamb sticker, so we can confirm the correct key type.

We come to your Ford
A technician drives to the vehicle in Long Beach, and you never need a tow. We verify ownership before any work begins, which protects you and your vehicle.

Key cutting or fob selection
For a bladed PATS key we cut a new key to match the vehicle. For an Intelligent Access push-button system we supply a matching smart key. This works for lost-key, spare and all-keys-lost situations.

Programming and testing
We program the new key to your Ford so the vehicle recognizes it, then test the doors, remote functions and starting before we finish. If you want a spare, we can add it during the same visit.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and a push-button Intelligent Access smart key are different products with different costs.
- Model and year: the F-150, Explorer and other Fords can require different key hardware depending on the VIN.
- Lost-key situation: an all-keys-lost job takes more work than adding a spare when you still have a working key.
- Number of keys: programming a spare in the same visit is usually more efficient than a separate call later.
- Time and location of the call: after-hours service is available 24/7, and the circumstances of the call can affect the quote.
Ford keys across Long Beach
Long Beach keeps Ford owners on the move, from contractors with F-150s in Bixby Knolls and California Heights to families with Explorers in Belmont Shore and Belmont Heights. We also work around Naples, Wrigley, Alamitos Beach and Downtown Long Beach. Salt air near the water is hard on keys and locks, so a worn key or sticky ignition and door cylinder is something we see in coastal areas.
We serve ZIP codes across the city, including 90803 in Belmont Shore and Naples, 90807 in Bixby Knolls, and 90802 in Downtown. If you are stranded at a visitor spot like the Queen Mary, the Aquarium of the Pacific, Shoreline Village or The Pike Outlets, or near the CSULB campus late at night, call (323) 997-8867. We come to your parked Ford and make the key on site.
