Losing the only key to your Ford is stressful, whether it is an F-150 parked at a job site or an Explorer at the family home. Many Fords use a transponder system that Ford calls PATS, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. Either way, the key has to be cut or prepared and then matched to your vehicle before it will start the engine.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are entirely mobile. There is no shop to tow your truck to. We come to you in North Hills, confirm the right key for your Ford using the VIN, and make the new key on site so you can get back on the road.
How it works in North Hills
- 1
Call and describe your Ford
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the model, the year, and whether you have a bladed key or a push-button Intelligent Access key. Let us know if you have any working key left or if all keys are lost.
- 2
Verify ownership and your VIN
We ask for the VIN and check your ID and proof of ownership before any work. The VIN helps us confirm the correct key type and blank for your specific Ford.
- 3
We come to your vehicle
Our mobile technician arrives with the equipment needed. We work wherever the Ford is parked, such as a driveway, apartment lot, shopping center, or roadside.
- 4
Cut, program and test
We prepare the new key and program it to your Ford so it works with the vehicle's security system. Then we test the door, ignition or push-button start, and any remote functions.
- 5
Spare key before we leave
If you are down to one key or none, we suggest making a spare while we are there. It usually costs less than starting over after a second loss.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder bladed key differs from a push-button Intelligent Access smart key.
- Model and year of your F-150, Explorer or other Ford, as confirmed by the VIN.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or are in an all-keys-lost situation.
- How many keys you need, since adding a spare during the same visit is often more efficient.
- Time of day and location of the vehicle, as after-hours service can affect the quote.
