A key fob is easy to take for granted until it is gone. In Santa Fe Springs, where so many people commute along I-5 and I-605 or drive for a living, a lost, cracked, or dead fob can stop a whole day. Whether it is a personal sedan parked in Los Nietos or a work vehicle at a yard off Telegraph Rd, you need a replacement that actually starts the car, not just one that looks right.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, led by owner and lead technician David Shar. We are fully mobile, with no storefront to visit, and we are available around the clock. We bring the equipment to you, so you do not have to tow a vehicle or arrange a ride just to get a new fob made.

We replace and program remote key fobs and smart or proximity keys. That includes the situation where you have lost every key and the situation where you simply want a spare before the only one disappears. Which approach works depends on your vehicle's make, model, and year, and we will tell you plainly what is involved before work begins.

How it works in Santa Fe Springs

  1. 1

    Call and describe the vehicle

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model, and year, what type of key you have (flip key, remote fob, push-button start smart key), and whether you have any working key left. This helps us prepare the right equipment before we head out.

  2. 2

    We come to your location

    We are fully mobile, so we meet you where the vehicle is: a driveway near Heritage Park, a lot by the Swap Meet, a work yard, or the side of the road. There is no shop visit and no need to tow the car.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before cutting or programming anything, we ask for proof that you are authorized to have a key made for the vehicle, such as registration and matching ID. For fleet vehicles, we work with the person authorized by the company. This protects you and the vehicle's rightful owner.

  4. 4

    Cut and prepare the key or fob

    If your system uses an emergency blade or a cut key, we cut it to the vehicle. We then prepare the new fob or smart key so it can be paired with the car's immobilizer and remote systems.

  5. 5

    Program and pair

    We program the new fob to the vehicle so the remote functions and the push-button or transponder start recognize it. When appropriate, we can also add a spare or clear out lost fobs so a missing one no longer works.

  6. 6

    Test everything before we leave

    We test lock, unlock, trunk, panic, and starting, plus the emergency key if there is one. You see it all working before we wrap up, and we explain how to care for the new fob.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some systems are far more involved to program than others
  • Type of key: a basic remote, a flip key, or a push-button smart or proximity key
  • Whether you have a working key or all keys are lost, which changes the programming path
  • How many fobs or spare keys you need, which matters for fleets and families
  • Whether the vehicle needs an emergency blade cut or additional lockout help
  • Time of day and your location, because after-hours and on-site calls are part of how we operate

Why Santa Fe Springs chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so we handle the work at your car, home, or work yard instead of asking you to arrive somewhere
  • Open 24/7, which matters when a fob dies at the end of a late shift or a lockout happens overnight
  • Serving the region since 1987 under owner and lead technician David Shar
  • Experience with both individual vehicles and work fleets, including multiple duplicate transponder keys for a delivery operation
  • We confirm ownership before programming, which keeps your vehicle protected
  • We explain what the job involves up front and do not quote numbers we cannot stand behind over the phone

Key Fob Replacement across Santa Fe Springs

Santa Fe Springs is a city of industry and logistics, and that shapes how we see fob calls here. Along the Telegraph Rd and Shoemaker Ave corridor in the Santa Fe Springs Industrial District, delivery fleets and company vehicles depend on working keys and fobs. A driver locked out mid-shift or a fleet needing duplicate transponder keys cannot wait for a shop's opening hours, which is why our 24/7 mobile model fits well.

Residents in the older Los Nietos pocket and around the Heritage Park district have their own needs: a family car whose only fob went missing, or a spare worth making before a lost one causes trouble. We also hear from people visiting the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet, the Clarke Estate on Pioneer Blvd, or Town Center Hall who return to the parking lot and find a dead fob or lost key.

We serve ZIP codes 90670 and 90671 and the routes that connect them, including I-5, I-605, Imperial Hwy, and Norwalk Blvd. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to wherever the vehicle is parked.

Key Fob Replacement in Santa Fe Springs — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. The process depends on the vehicle, but we can often cut and program a new key or fob on site in Santa Fe Springs. Call (323) 997-8867 with the make, model, and year, and we will explain what applies to your car.
Do I have to tow my car to you?
No. We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your vehicle, whether it is in Los Nietos, at a yard off Telegraph Rd, or in a parking lot near Heritage Park.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes. Crenshaw Lock Company is available 24/7. A dead fob after a late shift or on a weekend morning is something we can help with. Call (323) 997-8867.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
Often we can, depending on whether the fob is compatible with your vehicle and in good condition. Tell us the vehicle details and the fob's part information when you call, and we will let you know what to expect.
What is the difference between a remote fob and a smart key?
A remote fob typically locks and unlocks doors and may use a separate transponder key to start the car. A smart or proximity key lets you enter and start with a push button while the key stays in your pocket. Each is programmed differently.
Can you make duplicate keys for a business fleet?
Yes. We can cut and program duplicate transponder keys and fobs for company vehicles, such as a delivery fleet in the Santa Fe Springs Industrial District. We confirm authorization from the company first.
Do you verify that I own the vehicle?
Yes. We ask for proof of ownership or authorization, such as registration and matching ID, before making or programming a key. It is a standard protection for every customer.
Can a lost fob be blocked from working?
In many vehicles, programming a new fob lets us remove a lost one from the system so it no longer starts or opens the car. Whether this is possible depends on the vehicle, and we can confirm when you call (323) 997-8867.
