Losing a Ford key is stressful, whether it is an F-150 left at a job site or an Explorer parked near Malaga Cove Plaza. Many Fords use PATS transponder keys, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. Both need to be matched to the vehicle's security system, so a hardware-store copy will not start the engine.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no shop to tow your truck to. We bring the equipment to your driveway, a parking spot, or the roadside, confirm the correct key for your vehicle using the VIN, and get you driving again with working keys.
How it works in Palos Verdes Estates
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details

Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN
We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your Ford, whether a PATS-style transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key.

Cut, program, and test
We prepare the new key, program it to your vehicle, and test it thoroughly. That includes locking, unlocking, and starting the engine. We can also add a spare while we are there.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and an Intelligent Access push-button key differ in cost.
- Number of keys needed: all keys lost can involve more work than adding a spare when you still have a working key.
- Model and year: the Ford's security system and the key it requires are confirmed by VIN.
- Whether a key is cut as well as programmed, or the vehicle must be unlocked first.
- Time of day and location: after-hours service and distance can affect the quote, which we explain before work starts.
Ford keys across Palos Verdes Estates
Palos Verdes Estates has a wide mix of driveways, hillside streets, and coastal parking. We regularly serve Malaga Cove, Lunada Bay, Valmonte, and Montemalaga, as well as the 90274 ZIP code. Whether your Ford is parked at Malaga Cove Plaza, near La Venta Inn, or at the Palos Verdes Golf Club, we come straight to you.
Our work in this community goes beyond cars. We have rekeyed original 1920s mortise locks on a Malaga Cove Spanish Revival estate while keeping the historic hardware, replaced a salt-air-seized deadbolt on a Lunada Bay bluff home, and helped with a lockout involving vintage skeleton-key doors in Valmonte. That experience with coastal conditions and older hardware informs the care we bring to every Ford key job, from Bluff Cove to the Shoreline Preserve.
