Losing your only car key is stressful anywhere, but in Sun Valley it tends to happen at awkward moments: at the end of a shift in a warehouse lot off San Fernando Road, in a driveway near Stonehurst, or in a parking space near the Hollywood Burbank Airport corridor. The good news is that a lost, broken, or stolen key does not usually mean a tow to a dealership. A mobile locksmith can bring the cutting and programming equipment to the car.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around being fully mobile. We have no storefront for you to visit. We come to you, which matters when the car is the one thing you cannot drive. We are available 24 hours a day, every day.

Car key replacement covers several situations: a traditional cut key, a transponder key that has to be programmed to the vehicle, a remote or key fob that has stopped working, and the more difficult case where every key has been lost and there is nothing to copy. We handle these on site, and we will explain what your specific vehicle needs before any work begins.

How it works in Sun Valley

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us the make, model, and year of the vehicle, plus whether you have any working key at all. Whether you are parked on Glenoaks Boulevard or in a driveway off Sunland Boulevard, we will note where you are and what you need.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership

    Before we make a key for any vehicle, we ask for proof that it is yours, such as a matching ID and registration or title. This protects you. It is a routine step and we do not skip it.

  3. 3

    Identify the key type

    Modern vehicles use different key systems: basic mechanical keys, transponder chips, remote head keys, or push-button smart keys. We determine which one your car uses so we cut and program the correct replacement.

  4. 4

    Cut the key on site

    Using the vehicle's lock or code information, we cut a new key at your location. If there is no original to copy, we can still produce a working key for many vehicles.

  5. 5

    Program and test

    For vehicles with transponder or remote systems, we program the new key to the car's computer, then test the door, ignition, and any remote functions before we leave.

  6. 6

    Spare key advice

    Once you have a working key, we suggest making a spare while we are there. Duplicating a key is usually simpler than starting from scratch after a total loss.

What affects the price

  • The type of key your vehicle uses, since a basic mechanical key, a transponder key, and a smart key involve different parts and programming.
  • Whether you have a working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes how much work is involved.
  • The make, model, and year of the vehicle, because some manufacturers have more demanding security systems than others.
  • Whether you need just one key or a spare as well, and whether remote buttons must also be programmed.
  • Your location and the time of day, as after-hours and more distant calls can affect the overall cost.
  • Whether the ignition or a lock is damaged and needs repair in addition to the new key.

Why Sun Valley chooses us

  • Fully mobile: we come to your car, so you avoid towing it to a dealership or shop.
  • Open 24/7, which suits shift workers and drivers around the industrial areas near the airport who lose keys outside business hours.
  • In business since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work.
  • We can often make a key even when no original exists.
  • We verify ownership before making keys, which protects you and your vehicle.
  • We explain what your vehicle needs before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Car Key Replacement across Sun Valley

Sun Valley sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, and daily life here revolves around cars, trucks, and fleets. Between the warehouses and yards along San Fernando Road, the commuters using I-5 and CA-170, and the workers heading to the area behind Hollywood Burbank Airport, a lost key can strand someone far from home. We regularly see the kinds of situations this community creates: a driver who misplaces a key during a long shift, or a vehicle used by several employees where a key has gone missing.

We serve ZIP code 91352 and the surrounding area, including the residential streets of Stonehurst with its 1920s stone and clinker-brick homes, and the foothill roads near La Tuna Canyon. Whether you are parked on Vineland Avenue, near the Stonehurst Recreation Center, or close to the old Pink Motel and Cadillac Jack's Cafe on San Fernando Road, we can meet you at the vehicle.

Because we are mobile only, there is no shop to find. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to wherever your car is parked.
