- Available 24/7

Many Ford trucks and SUVs use a transponder-style key tied to the Ford PATS anti-theft system, and newer models use push-button Intelligent Access keys. If you drive an F-150 or an Explorer, the key has to be matched to your vehicle before it will start the engine, so a copy cut at a hardware counter is rarely enough. Whether you lost the only key, want a spare, or need a replacement after a damaged fob, we handle it on site.
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 Ford to. We bring the equipment to wherever you are parked in Pasadena, confirm the correct key for your truck or SUV using the VIN, and get you driving again.
How it works in Pasadena
- 1
Call and tell us about your Ford
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the model, such as an F-150 or Explorer, the approximate year, whether you have any working key, and where the vehicle is parked.
- 2
We come to your vehicle
Our mobile technician drives to your location in Pasadena, whether that is a driveway, a street, a parking structure or a work lot. Nothing needs to be towed.
- 3
Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN
We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm which key type your Ford needs, whether a PATS transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key. We never guess at the key.
- 4
Cut, program and test
We prepare the new key for your vehicle, program it to the Ford, and test it thoroughly. We also test the door locks, ignition or push-button start, and any remote functions before we finish.

Add a spare while we are there
If you only have one key left, we recommend adding a spare on the same visit. It is usually far easier than starting over after an all-keys-lost situation.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key, a remote-head key and an Intelligent Access push-button key involve different parts and programming work.
- Your situation: adding a spare when you still have a working key is generally simpler than an all-keys-lost situation.
- Model and year of your Ford, which we confirm by VIN, since F-150 and Explorer generations can differ.
- Whether the vehicle needs a cut key, a fob, or both, and how many keys you want made.
- Time and location of the call, including after-hours and weekend service.
Ford keys across Pasadena
Pasadena Ford drivers call us from all over the city: a pickup parked near a Craftsman in Bungalow Heaven, an Explorer left in a garage in Madison Heights, a family SUV in Hastings Ranch, or a truck near Garfield Heights. Event days around the Rose Bowl and busy evenings in the Playhouse District and Old Pasadena along Colorado Boulevard are common times for lost or locked-in keys, and we come to you rather than asking you to move the vehicle.
We work across Pasadena ZIP codes including 91101, 91103, 91104, 91105, 91106 and 91107. Our Pasadena work goes beyond cars. We have rekeyed original mortise and rim locks in a Bungalow Heaven home while preserving its antique brass hardware, handled an emergency storefront lockout for an Old Pasadena retailer, and helped a Caltech-area tenant after hours. Whether you are near Huntington Hospital, Pasadena City Hall or the Norton Simon Museum, call (323) 997-8867.
