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. 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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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

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.

Ford keys in Sherman Oaks — FAQs

What if I lost all my Ford keys in Sherman Oaks?
An all-keys-lost situation can still be solved. We come to your Ford, confirm the correct key by VIN, and make and program a new one on site. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
Can you make a spare Ford key so I am not stuck again?
Yes. Having a spare made while you still have a working key is usually the easiest route. We come to you in Sherman Oaks and can program the extra key during the same visit.
Do I need my original key to get a new one?
No. We can create a new key without an original. We will ask for reasonable proof of ownership and use your VIN to identify the right key for your Ford.
What is the difference between a bladed key and a push-button Ford key?
A bladed transponder key, associated with PATS, uses a physical blade plus a chip the vehicle must recognize. A push-button Intelligent Access fob lets you start the vehicle with a button and proximity. Which one you have depends on the model and year.
How do you confirm which key my F-150 or Explorer needs?
We use your VIN to confirm the key type for your exact vehicle instead of guessing from the model name alone. If you are unsure, call (323) 997-8867 and we will walk you through finding it.
Do I have to bring my Ford to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and work wherever your vehicle is parked, whether that is a driveway, a street, or a garage near the Galleria.
