Vernon runs on trucks, and Ford F-150s and Explorers are common across the yards, plants and warehouses here. When the only key goes missing mid-shift, or a fleet truck needs a spare before the next run, waiting on a tow to a dealer costs you the day. Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we bring the work to you.

Most modern Fords use PATS transponder keys, and many newer models use Intelligent Access push-button start keys. These need to be matched to the vehicle, not just cut. We never guess at the key: the right one is confirmed by VIN and by checking the vehicle on site. Whether you have one working key, none at all, or a truck parked behind a plant, we handle it where it sits.

How it works in Vernon

  1. 1

    Call and share the vehicle details

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the model, the year, and whether you have a working key, a spare, or nothing. We will ask for the VIN and proof you own or are authorized to use the vehicle.

  2. 2

    We drive to your Ford

    Our mobile unit comes to the truck or SUV, whether it is in a plant lot, on a dock, or on the street. Nothing needs to be towed.

  3. 3

    Confirm the key by VIN

    We verify the vehicle and use the VIN to determine the correct key type for your F-150 or Explorer, whether it is a PATS bladed key or an Intelligent Access push-button key.

  4. 4

    Cut, program and test

    We prepare the new key, program it to your Ford, and test it. We check the door, ignition or push-button start, and remote functions before we finish.

  5. 5

    Spares and cleanup of old keys

    If you only had one key, we recommend adding a spare while we are there. For all-keys-lost jobs, we can discuss removing lost keys so they no longer start the vehicle.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Vernon

Vernon is an industrial city, and our Ford calls reflect that. We work around the industrial core near Soto St, Santa Fe Ave and Alameda St, where F-150s sit in plant lots and yards next to the rail lines. We also serve the Leonis Boulevard and City Hall district and the Central Manufacturing District, where work trucks and Explorers used by managers and sales staff are parked through long shifts.

We cover ZIP 90058 and the surrounding area, and our team is used to meeting you at a gate, a dock, or a lot near the Los Angeles River or the Union Pacific and BNSF yards. Vernon businesses also call us for lock and access issues, such as rekeys, padlock replacement and temporary locks. If your key problem comes with a facility issue, mention it when you call (323) 997-8867 and we will plan the visit around both.

Ford keys in Vernon — FAQs

I lost all my Ford keys in Vernon. Can you still make a new one?
Yes. All-keys-lost situations are something we handle on site. We confirm ownership, use the VIN to identify the correct key, then cut and program it at your vehicle. Call (323) 997-8867 any time.
Can you make a spare Ford key so I am not stranded again?
Yes. A spare is best made while you still have a working key, which is often simpler than replacing everything after a loss. We can program extras for fleet or shared trucks too.
What if I do not have my original key at all?
You do not need the original. We work from the vehicle and VIN, verify your ownership or authorization, and create a new key matched to your Ford. Call (323) 997-8867 to start.
What is the difference between a bladed PATS key and a push-button Intelligent Access key?
A PATS key is a cut blade with a transponder that the truck must recognize before it starts. An Intelligent Access key is a proximity fob that lets you use push-button start. Which one your F-150 or Explorer uses depends on the year and trim.
How do you confirm which key my Ford needs?
We use the VIN and inspect the vehicle to confirm the key type before we cut or program anything. This avoids buying the wrong key and keeps the process accurate.
Do I need to bring my truck anywhere?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your vehicle in Vernon, whether it is at a plant, a yard, or the street. No tow is needed.
Do you offer service at night and on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, which suits Vernon's round-the-clock operations.
