Losing a key fob in Sherman Oaks rarely happens somewhere convenient. It slips out of a pocket on a Ventura Boulevard lunch run, gets left in a shopping bag at the Galleria, or simply gives up after years of use, leaving you with a car that will not unlock or start. Because we are fully mobile, we bring the equipment to wherever the vehicle is parked, whether that is a driveway, a garage, a parking structure or a curb.

Key fob replacement covers more than one kind of job. Some cars use a simple remote that locks and unlocks the doors. Others use a transponder key with a remote built in, and many newer models use a smart or proximity key that lets the car start with a push button. Each type has to be matched to the vehicle and programmed so the car recognizes it. We handle replacement for lost fobs, broken or worn-out fobs, and the common situation where you only have one key left and want a spare before something goes wrong.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has seen how quickly a missing fob can disrupt a day. We have no storefront to visit, so there is no towing your car anywhere. You call (323) 997-8867, tell us the make, model and year, and we explain what your vehicle needs before work begins.

How it works in Sherman Oaks

  1. 1

    Tell us about the vehicle

    When you call (323) 997-8867, we ask for the make, model and year, what kind of key you have now, and whether any working keys remain. That tells us whether you need a basic remote, a transponder key with remote, or a smart key.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership

    Before cutting or programming anything, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, such as registration and matching identification. It protects you, and it is a normal part of responsible automotive locksmith work.

  3. 3

    We come to your car

    We travel to you in Sherman Oaks, whether you are parked at home, at work along Ventura Boulevard, or in a lot near the Galleria or Fashion Square. Everything is done on site.

  4. 4

    Cut and prepare the key

    If your fob includes a mechanical key blade, we cut it to match the vehicle. Smart keys usually carry an emergency blade as well, and we make sure it works with your door lock.

  5. 5

    Program to the vehicle

    We pair the new fob or smart key with the car's immobilizer and remote system, and add or erase keys as appropriate. If a lost fob is a concern, we can remove it from the car's memory so it no longer works.

  6. 6

    Test everything

    Before we finish, we check lock, unlock, trunk or hatch, panic, and push-button or ignition starting. You leave knowing each function works.

What affects the price

  • The type of key your vehicle uses, from a simple remote to a transponder key to a push-button smart key, since each involves different parts and programming.
  • The make, model and year, because some manufacturers have more complex security systems that take longer to work with.
  • Whether you still have a working key, since copying an existing key is often simpler than creating one when all keys are lost.
  • Whether a mechanical emergency blade must be cut as part of the job.
  • Whether the old fob needs to be erased from the vehicle's memory for security.
  • The time of day and your location, since we are available around the clock and travel to you.

Why Sherman Oaks chooses us

  • Fully mobile service, so your car stays where it is and you do not need a tow or a trip to a shop.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a fob fails late at night or early before work.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work rather than handing it off to unknown subcontractors.
  • We explain what type of key your car needs and what the job involves before we begin.
  • We test every remote function and the starting system before we call the job finished.
  • Lost-key security: we can remove a missing fob from the car's memory so whoever finds it cannot use it.

Key Fob Replacement across Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks has two very different parking situations, and both affect fob problems. On the valley floor, around the Sherman Oaks Galleria district at Ventura and Sepulveda, cars live in structures, shopping lots and street spaces where a lost fob can leave you stuck far from home. South of the Boulevard, in the Santa Monica Mountains hillsides and near Fryman Canyon, cars sit in steep driveways and garages at the end of winding roads, where a dead fob or a failed push-button start is a real headache and a tow is nobody's idea of a good time.

We work throughout 91403 and 91423, from the Chandler Estates streets to the single-family blocks and condos near Van Nuys Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. Many residents here drive newer vehicles with smart keys, and a household often shares several of them, so we are regularly asked to add a spare or replace one that has been lost or damaged. Commuters who use the I-405 and US-101 sometimes call us from parking lots near Westfield Fashion Square or Sherman Oaks Castle Park when a fob stops responding.

Because we come to you, it does not matter whether the car is in a gated hillside driveway or a restaurant lot along Ventura Boulevard. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will tell you what your vehicle needs and meet you where it is parked.

We ask for proof of ownership, typically registration and matching photo identification. This is a standard safeguard to make sure keys only go to the rightful owner.

No. We have no storefront and do everything at your vehicle's location, whether you are in the hills south of the Boulevard or in a lot near the Galleria.

How is the price of a key fob replacement determined?
It depends on the key type, the vehicle, whether you have a working key, and whether a blade must be cut. We explain the factors for your car before work begins.
