Losing a BMW key is more stressful than losing an ordinary key. Most 3 Series and 5 Series keys are encrypted and many use Comfort Access, so the car will not simply start with a copy from a hardware counter. Since 1987, Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County, and BMW Comfort Access and encrypted keys are our specialty.

We are mobile only, with no shop to tow your car to. Whether you are stuck at Panorama Mall, in a lot at The Plant, or in front of your home, we come to the vehicle. We handle lost-key, spare-key and all-keys-lost situations, and we confirm the exact key for your car using the VIN and proof of ownership.

How it works in Panorama City

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your BMW model and year, where the car is parked, and whether you have any working key left. Day or night, a real person helps you sort out whether you need a spare or an all-keys-lost solution.

  2. 2

    Verify ownership and confirm by VIN

    On arrival we check your ID and proof of ownership and match the car's VIN to the correct key type. The VIN, not guesswork, tells us which key your 3 Series or 5 Series needs, whether a push-button Comfort Access key or a bladed style.

  3. 3

    Prepare the new key

    We cut the blade where one applies and prepare the key for your car using professional tools at your vehicle. Because the work is done on site, there is no towing to a shop.

  4. 4

    Pair and test everything

    We pair the new key to the car and test it thoroughly, including locking, unlocking and starting. If you want a spare while we are there, we can add it in the same visit.

What affects the price

BMW keys across Panorama City

Panorama City sits in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, and BMW owners here get stranded in all kinds of places: parking structures and lots around the Panorama Mall district, shopping trips at The Plant on the former General Motors Van Nuys plant site, or along the busy Van Nuys Boulevard corridor. Because we are fully mobile, we meet you at the car in ZIP code 91402 rather than asking you to get it anywhere.

We also see people parked near Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center and Mission Community Hospital who lose a key during a long appointment or shift. Apartment dwellers near the mall often have a single key and no spare, so we encourage making a backup before the next loss. Our local work runs from cars to homes and storefronts, but for your BMW the process is the same: verify ownership, confirm the key by VIN, and get you moving again.

BMW keys in Panorama City — FAQs

What if I lost all my BMW keys in Panorama City?
An all-keys-lost situation can still be solved on site. Call (323) 997-8867, and we will come to your car, verify ownership, confirm the correct key by VIN, and prepare a new one for your 3 Series or 5 Series.
Can you make a spare BMW key?
Yes. If you still have a working key, making a spare is usually simpler than replacing everything after a loss. We recommend adding one before you are stranded.
I don't have my original key. Can you still help?
Yes. You do not need the original. We need proof of ownership and the VIN, and we create a new key matched to your vehicle.
What is the difference between a push-button and a bladed BMW key?
Push-button keys, often paired with Comfort Access, let you enter and start the car without inserting a blade. Bladed keys have a cut metal blade as well. Which one your car uses depends on its model and year, and we confirm that by VIN.
How do you confirm which key my BMW needs?
We use your VIN along with proof of ownership to identify the right key type for your car. We do not guess from the model name alone, because key styles vary between years.
Do I need to tow my BMW to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your vehicle anywhere in Panorama City. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
