Ford trucks and SUVs are everywhere along Pacific Coast Highway, from F-150s hauling surfboards and gear to Explorers carrying families to Zuma Beach. When the only key goes missing, or a worn fob stops working, you shouldn't have to tow the vehicle anywhere. Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile, so we bring the equipment to wherever your Ford is parked.

Most modern Fords use a PATS transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button system, and which one your vehicle has depends on its year and trim. We confirm the correct key by VIN rather than guessing, then cut and program on-site. We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we handle lost-key, spare-key, and all-keys-lost situations for Ford owners across Malibu.

How it works in Malibu

  1. 1

    Call and share your vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour and tell us your Ford model, year, and where it is parked. Have your VIN ready, usually visible at the base of the windshield or on the driver door jamb, along with your ID and proof of ownership.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    A mobile locksmith drives to you, whether you are at home, a beach lot, a rental, or the roadside. No towing and no dealership trip are needed.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN

    We check your identification and registration, then use the VIN to confirm the right key type for your F-150 or Explorer, PATS transponder or Intelligent Access push-button.

  4. 4

    Cut, program, and test

    We create the new key, program it to your vehicle, and test the doors, ignition or push-button start, and remote functions before we leave. We can add a spare at the same visit.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Malibu

Malibu stretches along the coast, and we serve it all: Point Dume, Malibu Colony, and Big Rock, plus areas around the Malibu Pier, Surfrider Beach, Malibu Country Mart, and the Civic Center. Whether your Ford is in a driveway in 90265, near Pepperdine University in 90263, or in the canyon and ocean-view streets of 90264, we come to the vehicle. Salt air and sand can wear down key fobs and buttons, and that is a common reason owners here call for a replacement.

Malibu has its own access quirks. Gated communities like Malibu Colony may require coordination with the guard gate, and canyon roads or PCH parking can make a tow impractical. Because we are fully mobile and available 24/7, we work around those constraints. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will plan the visit with you, including any gate or access details.

Ford keys in Malibu — FAQs

What if I lost all my keys to my Ford in Malibu?
An all-keys-lost situation is something we handle regularly. We come to your F-150 or Explorer, verify ownership, confirm the correct key by VIN, then cut and program a new key on-site. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Ford key before I lose the only one?
Yes, and it is a smart move. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is generally simpler than replacing everything after a loss. We can program it at your location in Malibu.
I don't have my original key. Can you still make one?
Yes. You do not need the original. We work from the VIN and proof of ownership to determine the correct key for your Ford, then program a replacement to the vehicle.
What is the difference between a bladed PATS key and a push-button Intelligent Access key?
A PATS key is a physical key with a transponder that the vehicle recognizes to start. An Intelligent Access key is a push-button fob that lets you unlock and start without inserting a blade. Which one your Ford uses depends on its year and trim.
How do you confirm which key my Ford needs?
We use your VIN to confirm the key type for your specific vehicle rather than guessing by model name alone. That helps us avoid mismatched keys and makes sure the new one works properly.
Do I need to bring my Ford anywhere?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your vehicle anywhere in Malibu, including beach lots, homes, and rentals. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
