Losing the only key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer is stressful, whether you're parked near the North Hollywood Metro Station, on Lankershim Boulevard, or in your own driveway. Many Fords use PATS transponder keys, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button systems. A plain metal copy from a hardware store will not start these vehicles, so the key has to be matched to the vehicle correctly.
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 get towed to. Our technician drives to your vehicle in North Hollywood and handles lost keys, spare keys, and all-keys-lost situations on the spot. We confirm the right key for your truck or SUV by VIN before we cut or program anything.
How it works in North Hollywood
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year, and whether you have any working key. We'll note where the vehicle is parked and whether it's a bladed PATS key or an Intelligent Access push-button key.
- 2
Verify ownership and VIN
We confirm you own the vehicle with ID and registration, and we use the VIN to identify the correct key type for your F-150 or Explorer rather than guessing.
- 3
Key cut or prepared on site
Our mobile technician comes to the vehicle. If your Ford uses a bladed key, we cut it to fit. If it uses a push-button smart key, we prepare the correct fob for your vehicle.
- 4
Program and test
The new key is programmed to your Ford so the vehicle recognizes it. We test starting, locking and unlocking, and any remote functions before we finish.
- 5
Add a spare
While we're there, we recommend a spare so you're never stranded again. It's usually simpler and more economical to add one during the same visit.
What affects the price
- Key type: a bladed PATS key and a push-button Intelligent Access key differ in hardware and programming needs.
- Model year and trim of the F-150 or Explorer, which determines the system and key required.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the work involved.
- Number of keys needed, since adding a spare in the same visit is often more efficient.
- Time of day and location, such as an after-hours call-out versus a daytime appointment.
