Ford keys are not all alike. Many F-150 and Explorer models use a PATS transponder key, where a coded chip in the key must be recognized by the truck before it will start. Newer models often use Intelligent Access, a push-button start system with a proximity key fob. Which one your vehicle has depends on model, year and trim, so guessing from the badge alone can lead to the wrong key.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and our service is fully mobile. We have no shop for you to get towed to. Whether you are parked at home near the Mission, loading up on Valley Boulevard or stuck at a park lot, we come to your Ford, verify ownership, confirm the correct key from your VIN, and cut and program a replacement on site.

How it works in San Gabriel

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the Ford model and year, where you are in San Gabriel, and whether you have lost every key, need a spare, or have a broken key. Have your VIN ready; it is visible at the base of the windshield or on the driver door jamb sticker.

  2. 2

    Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN

    Before any key is made, we verify that you are the owner or authorized user. We then use your VIN to confirm the right key type for your F-150, Explorer or other Ford, whether a PATS transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button fob.

  3. 3

    Cut and program at your vehicle

    Our technician works at your Ford, wherever it is parked. If you have no working key, we can create a new one for the vehicle even when no original exists. Bladed keys are cut and push-button fobs are prepared as needed.

  4. 4

    Test everything before we leave

    We test the new key on the door locks, the ignition or start button, and any remote functions. If you wanted a spare, we test that too, and we can add extra keys so you are not caught out again.

What affects the price

Ford keys across San Gabriel

San Gabriel drivers park in all kinds of places: on narrow streets in the Mission District near Mission San Gabriel Arcangel, in lots along Las Tunas, and along Valley Boulevard's Golden Mile restaurant row, where a lost key after dinner is a real headache. We come to you in 91775, 91776 and 91778, and also near Vincent Lugo Park and the Mission Playhouse district. A truck owner leaving a Golden Mile restaurant late at night or an Explorer family loading up at the park can call us without arranging a tow.

F-150s are common work vehicles, and a lost key can stop a whole job day. Explorers are common family vehicles with push-button start. In either case we come to the vehicle, confirm ownership, check the VIN and get you moving again. For lock needs beyond your Ford, such as a home or storefront near Valley Blvd, ask when you call and we will advise on what we can do.

Ford keys in San Gabriel — FAQs

What if I have lost all my Ford keys in San Gabriel?
Call (323) 997-8867. We come to your vehicle, verify ownership, confirm the correct key by VIN and create a new key on site, even if no working key is left.
Can you make a spare Ford key before I lose the last one?
Yes. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is generally easier than replacing everything after a loss. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.
Do I need my original key to get a replacement?
No. If you have no original, we can still make a new key for your Ford after verifying ownership and confirming the key type with your VIN.
What is the difference between a bladed key and a push-button Ford key?
A bladed PATS key is a physical key with a coded chip that starts the engine. An Intelligent Access fob works with a push-button start and uses proximity. Which one fits your F-150 or Explorer depends on the year and trim.
How do you confirm which key my Ford needs?
We use your VIN together with the model and year to identify the correct key type, rather than guessing from the badge. This helps avoid buying the wrong key.
Do I have to tow my truck to a shop?
No. Our service is fully mobile, so we work at your vehicle anywhere in San Gabriel, including the Mission District, Las Tunas and Valley Boulevard.
What proof of ownership will you ask for?
We typically ask for identification and something showing the vehicle is yours, such as registration or title. We explain exactly what we need when you call (323) 997-8867.
