Losing the key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer rarely happens at a convenient moment. In Northridge it might be a student leaving a truck in a CSUN lot, a parent finishing errands at Northridge Fashion Center, or a rancher heading out from Sherwood Forest. Modern Fords use PATS transponder keys, and many newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. Either way, the vehicle has to recognize the new key before it will start.

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 visit and no tow needed. Our technician comes to wherever your Ford is parked, verifies ownership, uses the VIN to confirm the correct key type, then cuts and programs the new key on site. That works whether you have one working key left or none at all.

How it works in Northridge

  1. 1

    Call and share your Ford details

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the model, the year, and where the truck or SUV is parked. We ask whether you have any working key, which tells us if this is a spare or an all-keys-lost job.

  2. 2

    We come to your vehicle

    Our mobile technician drives to your location in Northridge, whether that is a driveway, a campus lot, or a hospital parking structure. Nothing needs to be towed.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and confirm by VIN

    We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm the right key for your Ford, whether it is a PATS transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key.

  4. 4

    Cut and program the new key

    We make the key on site and program it to your vehicle so it starts the engine and works the locks and remote functions. If you need a spare, we can add one in the same visit.

  5. 5

    Test everything before we leave

    We try the new key in the door, the ignition or start button, and the remote features so you know it works before the job is finished.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Northridge

Northridge is spread out, and so are the situations we see. Near the CSUN and university district, students and staff lose keys between classes, apartments, and campus lots, and Reseda Blvd traffic makes towing a hassle. In Northridge Village and the Devonshire residential area, we often meet Ford owners in driveways or along the Devonshire Street corridor. Out in Sherwood Forest, where horse properties have long driveways and trucks like the F-150 are daily workhorses, a lost key can stall chores and trailer plans, so we come right to the property.

We serve ZIP codes 91324, 91325, 91327, 91328, and 91330, including the areas around Northridge Hospital Medical Center and Northridge Fashion Center. Wherever your Ford is parked, call (323) 997-8867 and we will bring the equipment to you, day or night.

Ford keys in Northridge — FAQs

What if I lost all my Ford keys in Northridge?
We can still help. We verify ownership, use your VIN to confirm the correct key, then cut and program a new one at your vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Ford key before I lose the last one?
Yes, and it is the easier route. If you still have a working key, adding a spare is generally simpler than an all-keys-lost job. Call (323) 997-8867 to schedule a mobile visit.
I don't have my original key. Can you still make one?
Yes. You don't need the original. We need proof of ownership and the VIN, and we handle the rest on site.
What is the difference between a PATS key and an Intelligent Access key?
A PATS key is a bladed key with a transponder the vehicle must recognize 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 the model and year.
How do you know which key fits my F-150 or Explorer?
We use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your exact vehicle rather than guessing from the model name alone, since key systems vary across years and trims.
Do I need to tow my Ford to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your vehicle anywhere in Northridge, including campus lots, driveways, and horse properties.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 whenever you are locked out or stranded without a key.
