Losing the key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer is stressful, especially when the truck is parked on a Ventura Boulevard block, in a Galleria garage, or at a hillside home. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile: we have no shop for you to get towed to. We bring the equipment to wherever the vehicle is sitting in Sherman Oaks.
Fords are commonly built around either a PATS transponder key, where the car's immobilizer must recognize a programmed chip in the key, or an Intelligent Access push-button system with a proximity fob. Which one your truck or SUV uses depends on the model, year and trim, so we confirm the exact key by VIN rather than guessing. Whether you have lost your only key, want a spare before it happens, or are in an all-keys-lost situation, we handle it at your location.
How it works in Sherman Oaks
- 1
Call and share your Ford details
Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night. Tell us the model, such as an F-150 or Explorer, the approximate year, and where the vehicle is parked in Sherman Oaks. Have your VIN ready if you can; it is usually visible at the base of the windshield or on the door jamb sticker.

We come to your vehicle
A mobile technician drives to you with key cutting and programming equipment. We work curbside, in a parking structure, in a driveway or at a workplace. Before starting, we ask for reasonable proof that you own or are authorized to use the vehicle.

Confirm the correct key by VIN
We use the VIN to identify the right key type for your Ford, whether it is a transponder key for a PATS system or an Intelligent Access push-button key. This avoids buying the wrong key and keeps the process accurate.

Cut, program and test
We cut the blade where applicable and program the key to your vehicle. Then we test the door, ignition or push-button start and any remote functions, and we can add a spare while we are there so you are not stranded again.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and a push-button Intelligent Access fob are different products and are quoted differently.
- Your situation: adding a spare when you still have a working key is typically simpler than an all-keys-lost job.
- Model and year: the specific F-150 or Explorer generation, confirmed by VIN, affects which key and procedure apply.
- Number of keys: programming more than one key in the same visit can change the overall quote.
- Time and location: after-hours calls or difficult spots such as hillside access may factor into the quote, which we give you before work begins.
Ford keys across Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks drivers park in very different settings, and we plan around them. In the Sherman Oaks Galleria district near Ventura and Sepulveda, many Ford owners lose keys while shopping, dining or working, and we can meet you at a garage or street spot near the Galleria or Westfield Fashion Square. Along the Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor, we regularly help owners of work trucks like the F-150 who need a spare cut so a second driver can use the vehicle. ZIP code 91403 covers much of this area.
South of the Boulevard, the Santa Monica Mountains hillsides and streets near Fryman Canyon can be narrow and winding, so tell us about gates or tight driveways when you call. In Chandler Estates and across 91423, we come right to the driveway to handle Explorer and F-150 keys. Wherever you are, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to the vehicle.
