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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
