A key fob is easy to take for granted until it disappears. Maybe it fell out of a pocket at the Paramount Swap Meet, got left in a work truck on a shift change, or simply quit after years of daily use. In Paramount, where so many people depend on a car to reach jobs along the I-710 and SR-91 corridors, a dead or missing fob can stop the whole day.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner David Shar leads the automotive work. We are fully mobile. There is no shop to tow your car to and no storefront to visit. We bring the equipment to your driveway, your apartment lot, or the parking area outside your workplace, and we are available around the clock.

We handle remote key fobs, flip-key remotes, and smart or proximity keys that start the car with a push button. Whether you have lost every key you own or just want a spare before the only one fails, the goal is the same: a working fob, programmed to your vehicle, without a trip to a dealership.

How it works in Paramount

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Phone (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year, plus whether you have any working key left. We will ask whether your car uses a turn-key remote, a flip key, or a push-button start so we know what type of fob you need.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    Because we are mobile only, we travel to wherever the car is parked, whether that is a home near Progress Park, a lot off Rosecrans Ave, or a work yard near the rail corridor.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before cutting or programming anything, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, such as registration and a matching ID. This protects you and is a normal part of responsible automotive locksmith work.

  4. 4

    Prepare and program the new fob

    We match the fob to your vehicle, cut a physical blade if the key has one, and program the transponder and remote functions to the car's computer. If you have a spare, we can add the new fob alongside it. If all keys are lost, we can work from the vehicle itself.

  5. 5

    Test every function

    We confirm the fob locks, unlocks, and starts the car, and we test any extra buttons such as trunk release or panic. You leave knowing it all works before we pack up.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some systems are more complex to program than others
  • Type of key: basic remote head key, flip key, or smart proximity key
  • Whether you still have a working key to copy or all keys are lost
  • Whether a physical emergency blade needs to be cut in addition to the remote programming
  • Number of fobs needed, including a spare programmed in the same visit
  • Time of day and how far we travel, since we serve customers 24/7

Key Fob Replacement across Paramount

Paramount grew from the historic Clearwater and Hynes communities, and the city still has that mix of post-war single-family streets, older bungalows, and apartment buildings where residents park in driveways, carports, and shared lots. Many of those places have no garage, so a fob problem often happens right at the curb. Our mobile setup suits that well: we work in the driveway of a Clearwater-area home, or in the lot of an apartment building, without the car moving at all.

The Paramount Boulevard corridor and the business district see their own kind of fob trouble. Retailers and Swap Meet vendors often drive early, load heavy, and carry keys through crowded days, which makes lost or cracked fobs common. Workers in the metal shops and industrial yards near the rail line and I-710 also rely on work vehicles that get shared, dropped, and exposed to dust and grease. We can meet you at a booth lot, a shop yard, or near Alondra Blvd or Somerset Blvd.

If you are in ZIP code 90723 and a fob has gone missing or stopped responding, call (323) 997-8867 any hour. We also cover drivers who commute through the Long Beach Freeway or the Artesia Freeway and get stranded away from home but still within Paramount.

Key Fob Replacement in Paramount — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all my keys?
Often yes. We can work from the vehicle itself to create and program a new fob after verifying ownership. Call (323) 997-8867 with your make, model, and year and we will tell you what is involved.
Do I need to take my car to a dealership in Paramount?
In many cases no. We are fully mobile and program fobs at your location, so you avoid towing the car. Some very specialized systems may have limits, and we will tell you honestly if that applies to yours.
Can you program a smart or push-button start key?
Yes, we replace and program smart proximity keys for many vehicles. The exact process depends on your car's make and year, so give us those details when you call (323) 997-8867.
Is a spare fob worth getting before mine fails?
Usually it is the cheaper and easier route. Copying from a working key is simpler than recovering from all keys lost, so adding a spare now can save you a stressful night later.
What proof of ownership will you ask for?
We typically ask for registration or title and a matching photo ID. This keeps replacement fobs from going to anyone but the vehicle's rightful owner.
Do you work nights and weekends in Paramount?
Yes. We are available 24/7 and fully mobile, so a fob problem late at night or on a holiday is not a reason to wait. Call (323) 997-8867 anytime.
How is the price of a replacement fob determined?
It depends on the vehicle, the type of fob, whether any key still works, whether a blade must be cut, and how many fobs you need. We explain these factors on the call rather than guessing.
Can you fix a fob that just stopped working?
Sometimes the issue is a worn battery or a lost sync, and we will check that first. If the fob is damaged or the electronics have failed, we can replace and program a new one.
