Losing the key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer is stressful, especially when the truck is parked at home, at work, or near the Las Tunas Drive business district. Many Ford keys carry a transponder tied to the Ford PATS anti-theft system, and newer models use Intelligent Access push-button keys. Because of that, a hardware store copy usually will not start the engine.
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. A technician drives to your Ford, confirms the right key for your vehicle using the VIN, and cuts and programs the replacement at the curb or in the driveway. That means no tow bill just to start the process.
How it works in Temple City
- 1
Call and describe your Ford
Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the model, such as an F-150 or Explorer, the approximate year, where the vehicle is in Temple City, and whether you have any working key left.
- 2
Verify ownership and VIN
We ask for proof you own the vehicle and read the VIN, typically visible at the base of the windshield or on the door jamb. The VIN lets us confirm the correct key type for your exact Ford instead of guessing.
- 3
We come to your vehicle
Our mobile technician travels to your location, whether that is a home near Mission View Acres, a spot by Temple City Park, or a parking lot on Las Tunas Drive. Everything is done on site.

Cut, program, and test
We make the replacement key or smart key for your Ford, program it to the vehicle, and test it. For a bladed PATS key we check the lock and ignition operation, and for push-button Intelligent Access keys we check starting and remote functions.
- 5
Add a spare while we are there
If you are down to one key or none, we recommend having a spare made during the same visit. It is usually simpler than starting over after the next loss.
What affects the price
- Key type: a standard bladed transponder key differs from an Intelligent Access push-button smart key.
- Situation: adding a spare when you still have a working key is typically simpler than an all-keys-lost job.
- Model and year: the F-150 and Explorer each span several generations, and the VIN determines which key and procedure apply.
- Number of keys: making more than one key in a single visit changes the total.
- Time and location: after-hours calls and hard-to-reach parking spots can affect the quote, which we give before work begins.
