Losing a key fob in San Fernando rarely happens at a convenient moment. It might slip out of a pocket while you walk the San Fernando Mall, get left behind after errands on Truman Street, or finally quit after years of being dropped on a driveway. Whatever the cause, a car that will not unlock or start leaves you stuck, and a dealership trip across the Valley is hard when you cannot drive.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We have no storefront for you to visit. Instead, we bring the equipment to the vehicle, wherever it is parked in town. David Shar and our team have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we have handled remote fobs, flip keys, and smart proximity keys for a wide range of makes.

A replacement is more than cutting a piece of metal. Modern fobs have to be paired electronically with the car's immobilizer and computer. We take care of that on site, test every function, and can also set up spare fobs so you are not caught out a second time. We are available around the clock, so a late-night problem after a shift or family event does not have to wait for morning.

How it works in San Fernando

  1. 1

    You call with the vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, year, and what type of key you have: a remote fob, a flip key, or a push-button smart key. Let us know whether you still have any working key, since that affects how we approach programming.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    Because we are mobile, we meet you where the car is, whether that is a driveway near Las Palmas Park, a lot off San Fernando Road, or a curbside spot by Brand Boulevard. We have no shop for you to visit.

  3. 3

    We confirm ownership

    Before creating a new key, we ask you to show that the vehicle is yours, typically with ID and registration or title. This protects you and keeps a stranger from getting a key to your car.

  4. 4

    We cut and prepare the new fob

    If your key has a mechanical blade, we cut it to match the vehicle. We then select a compatible fob, so remote buttons and any transponder chip suit your exact model.

  5. 5

    We program it to the vehicle

    Using professional diagnostic and programming tools, we pair the fob with the car's immobilizer and remote system. For many vehicles this works even when every key has been lost.

  6. 6

    We test everything and offer a spare

    We check locks, trunk or hatch release, panic, and starting, and confirm the car recognizes the fob. If it makes sense for you, we can program an extra so one lost key does not become another emergency.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some brands use more complex security systems than others
  • Type of key: a basic remote head key, a flip key, or a push-button proximity key each involves different hardware
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the programming steps required
  • Number of fobs needed, including whether you want spares programmed during the same visit
  • Whether the fob also needs a cut mechanical blade or emergency key
  • Time of day and exact location of the vehicle, since we serve around the clock

Why San Fernando chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your car in San Fernando instead of asking you to tow it or find a shop

  • Serving Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work

Key Fob Replacement across San Fernando

San Fernando is a compact, independent city of about 2.4 square miles, surrounded by Los Angeles, and we are glad to serve it. Drivers here park in very different settings: on the busy blocks around the San Fernando Mall at Truman Street and San Fernando Road, along the residential streets near Las Palmas Park, and around the Layne Park and Recreation Park area. A fob that fails in any of these spots is something we can address at the curb.

The city is easy to reach by road, with I-5 and CA-118 on its edges and Maclay Avenue, Brand Boulevard, and San Fernando Road running through. That means a mobile locksmith can get to nearly any address in ZIP code 91340 without trouble. Whether you are parked near City Hall, the historic Lopez Adobe, or a few minutes from Mission San Fernando Rey de España, we come to you.

Many homes here are early-1900s bungalows and postwar tract houses with driveways or street parking, and downtown has older brick commercial buildings. If your car is the only thing locked out of reach, we handle that. Since we also work on home and storefront locks, we can help with those needs on the same visit if you ask.

Key Fob Replacement in San Fernando — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob in San Fernando if I lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. We can often create and program a new key even with no working key, depending on the vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 with your make, model, and year and we will explain what is involved.
Do I need to bring the car to you?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your vehicle anywhere in San Fernando, including downtown, near Las Palmas Park, or by Layne Park.
Are you available at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will talk through your situation.
What kinds of fobs can you replace?
We work with remote key fobs, flip keys, and smart or proximity keys for many makes and models. Tell us your vehicle and key type when you call so we can confirm what applies.
What do I need to show to get a new fob?
We verify ownership before making a key, usually with your ID and vehicle registration or title. This keeps your vehicle secure.
Is it cheaper to replace a fob with a locksmith than at a dealer?
We cannot promise a comparison, since cost depends on the vehicle and key. A mobile locksmith often saves you towing and a trip to a dealership. Call (323) 997-8867 to discuss your case.
Can you program a spare while you are there?
Yes, in most cases. Adding a spare during the same visit is usually simpler than doing it later, and gives you a backup if the main one gets lost.
My fob works for the doors but will not start the car. Can you help?
Often that points to a transponder or programming issue, or a weak battery. We can diagnose it on site, and reprogram or replace the fob if needed. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
