A Ford key is more than a piece of metal. Many F-150 and Explorer keys pair a transponder, which the truck's PATS anti-theft system checks, with remote functions, and some models use push-button Intelligent Access keys. Which one your vehicle needs depends on the model, year, and trim, so we confirm it from your VIN rather than guessing.
In Palmdale, a lost key rarely happens near a shop. It happens in a parking lot at the Antelope Valley Mall, at the trailhead near Marie Kerr Park, or in your own driveway after a long commute. Our locksmiths are fully mobile, so we bring the equipment to your Ford, whether you've lost every key, need a spare, or have a worn-out key that barely works. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Southern California since 1987.
How it works in Palmdale
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your Ford model, the approximate year, and where the vehicle is parked. Have your VIN ready; it is visible through the windshield on the driver's side dash and on your registration or insurance card.

We come to your vehicle
Our mobile locksmith drives to your location in Palmdale or the surrounding Antelope Valley. There is no tow and no trip to a dealership; the work happens right where your F-150 or Explorer is sitting.

Verify ownership and confirm the key
We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm which key type your Ford takes, whether a bladed PATS transponder key or a push-button Intelligent Access key.

Cut, program, and test
We prepare the new key, program it to your vehicle, and test it thoroughly: starting the engine, locking and unlocking, and any remote functions. If you have a spare, we make sure it works too.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and a push-button Intelligent Access key differ in cost.
- Model and year: the F-150 and Explorer vary across generations, which affects the key and the programming required.
- Number of working keys: adding a spare when you still have a key is often simpler than an all-keys-lost situation.
- Time and location of the call: after-hours service or a remote spot in the Antelope Valley can affect the quote.
- Extras: a key with remote buttons, or a duplicate made at the same visit.
Ford keys across Palmdale
Palmdale is spread out, and we cover it all, from Downtown Palmdale along Palmdale Blvd to Rancho Vista, Anaverde, and City Ranch in West Palmdale. We also serve Quartz Hill and Lake Los Angeles to the east. Whether you're in ZIP 93550 near downtown, 93551 on the west side, 93552 on the east side, or 93591 toward Lake Los Angeles, we come to you.
Ford trucks and SUVs are everyday vehicles here, used for commutes toward Air Force Plant 42 and Palmdale Regional Airport, weekend trips to DryTown Water Park, and errands around Poncitlan Square. Long Antelope Valley drives and summer heat are hard on keys and fobs, so if yours is cracked, sticky, or unreliable, replace it before it fails completely. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour.
