Losing the only key to your Ford is stressful, whether it happens after a morning at the Redondo Beach Pier, a walk along the International Boardwalk, or a day on the water at King Harbor Marina. Our locksmiths are fully mobile, so you never have to tow the truck anywhere. We bring the equipment to wherever your F-150 or Explorer is parked, and we have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987.
Many Fords use a PATS transponder key, where a chip in the key must be recognized by the vehicle before it will start. Newer models, including many Explorers, may use an Intelligent Access push-button system with a proximity key fob. Which type your vehicle has depends on its year and trim, so we confirm the correct key by VIN rather than guessing. We handle lost-key, spare-key and all-keys-lost situations.
How it works in Redondo Beach
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your Ford model, year and where you are parked. We will ask for the VIN, which is visible at the base of the windshield or on the door jamb sticker, so we can confirm the right key type.

We come to your vehicle
Our mobile locksmith drives to you in Redondo Beach, whether you are at home, at work, in a beach lot or at the marina. Nothing needs to be towed. We verify ownership before any key work begins.

Key cut or prepared for your Ford
Based on the VIN and key type, we prepare a bladed transponder key or a push-button proximity key. If your key is lost entirely, we can work from the vehicle itself without needing an original.

Programming and testing
We program the new key to your Ford and test it thoroughly: starting the engine, locking and unlocking, and any remote functions. We can also add a spare so you are not stranded again.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic bladed transponder key differs in cost from an Intelligent Access push-button fob.
- Model and year of your F-150 or Explorer, which determines the system and key hardware required.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or are in an all-keys-lost situation.
- How many keys you need, since adding a spare during the same visit is often more efficient.
- Time of day and location, as after-hours and late-night calls may be priced differently.
Ford keys across Redondo Beach
Redondo Beach drivers park in a lot of places where a lost key can ruin a day: the busy lots by the Redondo Beach Pier, near Seaside Lagoon and King Harbor, along the Riviera Village shopping district, or by Veterans Park. We regularly serve Hollywood Riviera and Riviera Village in the 90277 area, where street parking is tight and a mobile visit saves a tow. F-150 trucks are common among boat owners and tradespeople around the harbor, and Explorers are a frequent family vehicle.
We also serve El Nido in North Redondo, Golden Hills and The Avenues, including addresses in 90278. Whether your Ford is in a driveway, a townhome garage or a street space near the former AES power plant site, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 any hour and we will help you get back on the road.
