Losing a car key is stressful anywhere, but on the Palos Verdes Peninsula it often happens in the middle of an ordinary day: after a morning ride near the bridle trails, a stop at the Promenade on the Peninsula, or a walk through Ernie Howlett Park. You come back to the car and the key is gone, or it snapped in your hand. Our job is to get you a working replacement without a tow and without a trip to anyone's shop.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We have no storefront, so there is nothing to drive to. The tools come to you: key-cutting equipment and programming hardware travel with us. We work on lost keys, broken keys, worn-out keys, and the situation where every key you owned is gone, which is called an all-keys-lost scenario. Many modern vehicles need the new key to be both cut correctly and electronically paired with the car, and we handle both steps where the vehicle allows it.

We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around honest answers. If a key type can't be made at the roadside for your particular vehicle, we will tell you plainly before any work begins, rather than leave you guessing.

How it works in Rolling Hills Estates

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Phone (323) 997-8867 any hour. We ask for the make, model, year, and what kind of key you had: a traditional metal key, a transponder key, a remote head key, a flip key, or a push-button start fob. Tell us where the car is parked so we can come to you.

  2. 2

    We come to your car

    Because we are fully mobile, we drive to your location in Rolling Hills Estates, whether that is a driveway off Silver Spur Road, a parking space at the Peninsula Center, or the roadside near a trail head. We do not require you to move the vehicle.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before we create a key for any vehicle, we confirm that you are the owner or authorized user. Expect to show photo ID and proof such as registration or insurance matching the vehicle. This protects you and is standard practice for responsible locksmiths.

  4. 4

    Cut the key to the vehicle's code

    With no original key, we can work from the vehicle's lock or key code, or decode the lock itself, to cut a new blade. The key is cut on site and test-fit in the door and ignition before moving on.

  5. 5

    Program the key to the car

    If your vehicle uses a transponder chip or smart fob, we program it so the car's immobilizer recognizes it. We also pair remote buttons where supported, and can clear lost keys from the system when the vehicle allows.

  6. 6

    Test everything before we leave

    You watch us start the car, lock and unlock the doors, and try the remote functions. We recommend making a spare while we are there, since a duplicate costs far less in time and stress than a second all-keys-lost call.

What affects the price

  • Key technology: a basic metal key is simpler than a transponder key, a remote head key, or a push-button smart fob, and the type drives much of the work involved.
  • Vehicle make, model, and year: some brands lock down programming more tightly than others, and newer security systems can need extra steps.
  • Whether you have a working original: copying an existing key is usually simpler than creating one from scratch when all keys are lost.
  • Number of keys needed: adding a spare during the same visit is typically more efficient than separate calls later.
  • Time of day and location: nights, weekends, and holidays are handled as part of our 24/7 service, and the distance we travel can factor in.
  • Extra work: removing a broken key piece from an ignition or door lock, or repairing a damaged lock, is separate from making the new key.

Why Rolling Hills Estates chooses us

  • Fully mobile since 1987: no storefront and no tow required, so the work happens next to your car.
  • Owner-led experience: David Shar leads the business, so the standards for honesty and workmanship come from the top.
  • Cut and programmed in one visit where the vehicle allows, including situations with no original key.
  • Straight answers up front: if your vehicle's key can't be made at the roadside, we say so before any work starts.
  • Ownership checks every time, which protects you from someone else getting a key made for your car.
  • Available 24/7, including when a late evening at the Promenade or an early trail ride leaves you without a key.

Car Key Replacement across Rolling Hills Estates

Rolling Hills Estates is a small, tree-lined city with a distinct rhythm: equestrian properties in Dapplegray, ranch and split-level homes from the 1960s and 70s, newer gated-community streets, and condos and townhomes near Silver Spur Road. Residents in Chandler Ranch and Georgeff Canyon often park in long driveways or on hillside streets, where a dead key situation can leave a car stuck far from help. We come to the vehicle, whatever the setting.

The Peninsula Center is the commercial heart of town, with the Promenade on the Peninsula on Deep Valley Drive and the Peninsula Shopping Center nearby. Shoppers, diners, and office workers lose keys in parking lots there regularly, and we can meet you in the lot instead of asking you to leave your car. We serve addresses in ZIP codes 90274 and 90275, and reach drivers along Hawthorne Boulevard, Palos Verdes Drive North, Crenshaw Boulevard, and Deep Valley Drive.

Horse owners have their own pattern. A key can slip out of a pocket at the barn, in an arena, or on the bridle trails, and it is easy not to notice until you are back at the truck. If that happens near Ernie Howlett Park or the trails, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to wherever the vehicle is parked.

Car Key Replacement in Rolling Hills Estates — FAQs

Can you make a car key if I have no original key at all?
In most cases, yes. We can cut and program a new key on site even with no original, using the vehicle's key code or by decoding the lock. Call (323) 997-8867 with your make, model, and year and we will tell you what is possible for your car.
Do you really come to me in Rolling Hills Estates?
Yes. We are 100% mobile with no storefront. We come to your vehicle anywhere in the city, from the Peninsula Center parking lots to driveways in Dapplegray or Chandler Ranch.
Will I need to have my car towed to a dealer?
Often not. Many vehicles can be keyed and programmed at the roadside, which can save a tow. Some vehicles have restrictions, and we will be upfront about that when you call.
What proof of ownership do you need?
We ask for photo ID and something tying you to the vehicle, such as registration or insurance. We do this on every job to make sure keys only go to rightful owners.
Can you replace a smart key or push-button start fob?
For many makes and models, yes. Smart fobs need to be paired with the car, and support varies by vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details and we will confirm before heading out.
My key broke off in the ignition or door. Can you help?
Yes. We can remove the broken piece and then make a new key. If the lock itself is damaged, we will explain that separately from the key replacement.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes, we operate 24/7 including weekends and holidays. Late-night key trouble after dinner at the Promenade is something we are set up to handle.
How is the price determined?
It depends on the key type, your vehicle, whether you have an original to copy, how many keys you want, and your location and time of day. We discuss these factors when you call so there are no surprises.
