Losing the only key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer is stressful, especially when the truck is your ride to work. Many Fords use a PATS transponder key, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button systems. Either way, the key has to be matched to your vehicle, so a hardware-store copy will not start it.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are mobile only. We have no shop for you to tow to. Our technician drives to your Ford in South Gate, whether it is at home, at work, or parked at a shopping center, and handles lost-key, spare, and all-keys-lost situations on site.
How it works in South Gate
- 1
Call and describe the situation
Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your Ford model, the year, and whether you have any working key. We ask where the vehicle is parked so we can head to you.
- 2
Verify ownership and the VIN
We confirm you own the vehicle and use the VIN to determine the correct key type for your F-150 or Explorer. The VIN, not guesswork, tells us whether it takes a PATS-style transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key.
- 3
Cut and prepare the key on site
Our mobile unit is set up to produce the key at your vehicle, whether you have a spare or have lost every key. No towing is needed.

Program and test
We pair the new key with your Ford and test it thoroughly: ignition or push-button start, door controls, and any remote functions. We recommend a spare so you are not stranded again.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and an Intelligent Access push-button key are different products and are priced differently.
- Model and year of your F-150 or Explorer, which determines the system your Ford uses.
- Whether you have a working key to copy or are in an all-keys-lost situation.
- Number of keys needed, since adding a spare during the same visit is often more efficient.
- Time of day and vehicle location, as after-hours and nighttime service may differ from daytime calls.
Ford keys across South Gate
South Gate drivers rely on trucks and SUVs for work and family, and F-150s and Explorers are common around the city. We regularly respond to vehicles parked near the Tweedy Mile business district along Tweedy Boulevard, around the Firestone Boulevard corridor, and in the residential streets of Hollydale. If a key goes missing at a job site or a shopping stop, we come to the vehicle wherever it sits.
Whether you are in ZIP 90280 near South Gate Park, Hollydale Park, or the Azalea Regional Shopping Center, the process is the same: we confirm the VIN, make the right Ford key, and program it on the spot. Our locksmiths also handle home and business locks in the area, so if you need a rekey the same day, mention it when you call (323) 997-8867.
