Need Ford car keys in Santa Monica? Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile and available 24/7 for F-150 and Explorer key replacement, including lost-key and all-keys-lost situations. We come to your vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 and have your VIN ready.

- Keys & fobs programmed on site
- Available 24/7
Ford trucks and SUVs are everywhere in Santa Monica, from F-150s parked near the Pier to Explorers loaded up for a beach day. Many Ford keys carry a transponder tied to the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS), while newer models use push-button Intelligent Access keys. Either way, a key that merely fits the lock will not start the vehicle without being programmed to it.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are mobile only. There is no shop to tow to. Whether you lost your only key outside Santa Monica Place, snapped a blade at Palisades Park, or just want a spare before the next trip, we meet you where the vehicle sits and handle the work on site.
How it works in Santa Monica
- 1
Call and share your vehicle details
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the model, year, and your location in Santa Monica. We will ask for the VIN, which lets us confirm the correct key type for your Ford rather than guessing.

We come to your Ford
Our mobile technician drives to your vehicle, whether it is on a street in Ocean Park, in a garage downtown, or in a parking structure. We verify ownership before any work begins.

Key selection and cutting
Based on the VIN and what we find on the vehicle, we determine whether it needs a bladed PATS transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key, then prepare a new key accordingly.

Programming and testing
The new key is programmed to your Ford, and we test it thoroughly: remote functions where applicable, door operation, and starting the engine. If you are in an all-keys-lost situation, we can add a spare so you are not stranded again.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic bladed transponder key differs from a push-button Intelligent Access key.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or are in an all-keys-lost situation.
- Model and year of your F-150 or Explorer, as confirmed by the VIN.
- Number of keys you want made, including extra spares.
- Time of day and how far the technician must travel to reach your vehicle.
Ford keys across Santa Monica
Santa Monica is a dense, walkable beach city, and a lost Ford key can happen anywhere: a visit to Third Street Promenade, a day at the Pier, an evening on Montana Avenue, or a work shift at Bergamot Station or Santa Monica College. We serve Ocean Park, Sunset Park, North of Montana, Pico, Wilmont, and Downtown, and we come to wherever your truck or SUV is parked.
We cover all Santa Monica ZIP codes, including 90401, 90402, 90403, 90404, and 90405. Salt air near the coast is hard on metal parts, so if a worn blade or sticky door lock is part of the problem, mention it when you call at (323) 997-8867 and we will plan for it.
