Ford trucks and SUVs are everywhere in the San Fernando Valley, and the F-150 and Explorer are two of the most common we see. Many Fords use a PATS transponder system, where the key carries a coded chip the vehicle must recognize before it will start. Newer models often use Intelligent Access push-button start with a proximity key. Losing the only key, or having a worn-out one, can leave you stuck in a parking lot or driveway with no way to move the vehicle.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are mobile only. There is no shop to tow your Ford to. We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, confirm the right key by VIN, and cut and program a replacement on site. Whether you have a spare in a drawer, one worn key, or nothing at all, we can walk you through the options.

How it works in Van Nuys

  1. 1

    Call and share your vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the model, the year if you know it, and whether you have a working key, a spare, or no key at all. Have your VIN handy, since it is how we confirm the exact key type your Ford needs.

  2. 2

    We drive to your vehicle

    Our technician comes to you, whether you are at home, at work, or in a lot. Nothing needs to be towed, and you do not have to find a ride to a dealership.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership and confirm the key

    Before any work, we check your ID and proof of ownership or registration. We then match the key to your vehicle by VIN, whether it is a bladed transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key.

  4. 4

    Cut, program and test

    We create the new key and program it to your Ford. If you are all-keys-lost, we can generally make a key from the vehicle itself without an original. We test the key for starting, door locks, and any remote functions before we finish.

  5. 5

    Add a spare while we are there

    Since the technician is already on site, it is the best time to add a spare. A spare is usually simpler and less stressful than another full replacement later.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Van Nuys

Van Nuys is a busy mix of civic buildings, dealerships, apartments and older residential streets, and Ford drivers here get stranded in all of them. We regularly help people near the Van Nuys Civic Center and the Van Nuys Government Center, around the Van Nuys Courthouse, and in the quieter residential pockets of Kester Ridge and the original townsite around Sylvan Park. If your F-150 or Explorer key goes missing on a courthouse day or a long shift, we meet you at the vehicle.

We serve all of Van Nuys, including ZIP codes 91401, 91405, 91406 and 91411. That covers vehicles along Van Nuys Blvd, near the dealerships, around Van Nuys Airport businesses, and at apartment buildings where parking is tight. Whether you are at home, at a workplace near the airport, or by the edge of the Sepulveda Basin, call (323) 997-8867 and we will come to you.

Ford keys in Van Nuys — FAQs

What if I lost all my Ford keys in Van Nuys?
An all-keys-lost situation is something we handle regularly. Call (323) 997-8867, have your VIN and ID ready, and we come to your vehicle, confirm the right key, and make and program a new one on site without towing.
Can you make a spare for my F-150 or Explorer?
Yes. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is usually the easiest route. We confirm the correct key by VIN and program it so both keys work with your Ford.
Do I need my original key to get a new one?
No. If you have no original key, we can generally create one from the vehicle. We will verify ownership first and confirm the key type by VIN.
What is the difference between a bladed key and a push-button key?
A bladed transponder key is cut to turn in the ignition and carries a chip the PATS system recognizes. An Intelligent Access key is a proximity fob used with push-button start. Your VIN tells us which one your Ford uses.
How do you confirm which key my Ford needs?
We use your VIN along with the model and year to identify the correct key type for your vehicle. This avoids guessing and helps ensure the key we bring will work.
Do I have to tow my Ford to a dealership?
No. We are fully mobile and come to wherever your vehicle is parked in Van Nuys. Call (323) 997-8867 to get started.
