Losing a car key in Santa Clarita is rarely convenient. Maybe it slipped out of a pocket on a trail near William S. Hart Park, or a fob stopped working in the parking lot at Westfield Valencia Town Center, or the only key you own snapped in the ignition on a cold morning in Saugus. In a spread-out city built around driving, being stuck without a working key quickly disrupts your whole day, from the I-5 commute to the school run.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We have no storefront for you to visit, and you never need to tow your car to a shop or dealership. We come to the vehicle, whether it is in a driveway in a master-planned tract, a condo parking structure, a work lot, or a roadside pull-out. We can cut a key by code or from the lock, then program it to the vehicle, in many cases when you have no original key at all. David Shar has run the business since 1987, and that experience with vehicle locks and transponder systems is behind every job.

Because we are available around the clock, a late shift ending at a Valencia business park or a night out in Old Town Newhall does not have to mean waiting until morning. Call (323) 997-8867, tell us the make, model, and year, and we will explain what your car needs before any work begins.

How it works in Santa Clarita

  1. 1

    Tell us about the vehicle and your situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and give us the make, model, year, and where the car is. Tell us whether you have any working key, a broken key, or nothing at all. That determines the approach and the equipment we bring.

  2. 2

    Confirm you own the vehicle

    Before making a key for any car, we need reasonable proof of ownership, such as registration or title along with matching identification. It protects you and every other driver in Santa Clarita from key duplication for cars that are not theirs.

  3. 3

    Identify the key type and lock

    Modern vehicles use anything from a basic metal key to a transponder key, a laser-cut key, a remote head key, or a push-button proximity fob. We identify what your car uses and how it is secured so the replacement matches properly.

  4. 4

    Cut the key on site

    Using the vehicle's information and our mobile cutting equipment, we cut a new key at your location. If an original key is broken, we can also extract a snapped piece from a lock or ignition when that is the issue.

  5. 5

    Program the key to the vehicle

    Most newer cars will not start without the immobilizer recognizing the key. We program the new key or fob to your car and, where applicable, set up remote functions. If an old lost key poses a security concern, we can discuss removing it from the system.

  6. 6

    Test everything before we leave

    We check that the key turns the doors and ignition, starts the engine, and that any remote buttons work. We recommend a spare, and we can usually make one while we are already there.

  • In business since 1987, with the owner, David Shar, leading the work

Car Key Replacement across Santa Clarita

Santa Clarita spans several distinct communities, and we work across all of them. In Newhall and Old Town Newhall, cars often sit on older streets or in lots near restaurants and shops. In Saugus and Canyon Country, many people park in tract-home driveways and garages, where a lost key can be tracked down or replaced without leaving home. In Valencia and newer areas like Plum Canyon, we see plenty of late-model vehicles with smart fobs and push-button start.

We serve ZIP codes including 91321, 91350, 91351, 91354, 91355, 91387, and 91390. Whether you are near College of the Canyons, at Westfield Valencia Town Center, or a short drive from Six Flags Magic Mountain, we come to you. Since locals depend on I-5, CA-14 (the Antelope Valley Freeway), Sierra Highway, Soledad Canyon Road, Bouquet Canyon Road, Valencia Boulevard, and Newhall Ranch Road, we plan our routes around how people actually get around town.

If you are stranded somewhere out toward Vasquez Rocks or on a trailhead lot, tell us where you are when you call (323) 997-8867. Because we are mobile, the location is just a detail we note, not a barrier to getting a new key made.

Car Key Replacement in Santa Clarita — FAQs

Can you make a car key in Santa Clarita if I lost all my keys?
Yes, in many cases. We can cut and program a new key on site even when no original exists. Call (323) 997-8867 with your make, model, and year, and we will confirm what is possible for your vehicle.
Do I have to tow my car to a dealership?
Usually not. We are fully mobile and come to your car, whether it is in a driveway in Saugus, a lot in Valencia, or elsewhere in Santa Clarita. Tow-free replacement is a main reason people call us.
Do you work at night and on weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7, including holidays. You can reach us any time at (323) 997-8867.
What do I need to show to get a replacement key?
We ask for proof you own or are authorized to use the vehicle, such as registration or title, along with matching photo identification. This is standard practice to prevent unauthorized keys.
Can you replace a smart key or push-button fob?
In many cases, yes. Proximity fobs require programming to the vehicle, which we can often do on site. Because systems vary by brand and year, we confirm details when you call.
My key broke off in the ignition. Can that be fixed?
Often. We can extract the broken piece and then cut and program a replacement key if needed. Do not force or glue anything, as that can make the repair harder.
How is the cost of a replacement key determined?
It depends on the vehicle, the key type, whether you have an original to copy, how many keys you want, and the time and location of the call. We explain the factors for your car before work begins.
Should I get a spare key while you are there?
We recommend it. Making an extra key during the same visit is usually simpler than starting over after another loss. Ask us when you call (323) 997-8867.
