Losing the only key to a Ford is stressful, especially when the truck is parked at a trailhead, a hospital lot, or your own driveway. Most newer Fords use a transponder system called PATS, and many F-150 and Explorer trims use push-button Intelligent Access keys. That means a plain metal copy from a hardware store will not start the vehicle. The key has to be matched to your Ford's security system.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. We have no shop for you to get towed to. Our locksmith drives to you in West Hills with the equipment to cut and program keys at the vehicle, whether you have one key left, none at all, or just want a spare before you lose the last one.
How it works in West Hills
- 1
Call and describe your Ford
Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night. Tell us the model, the approximate year, where the vehicle is parked, and whether you have a working key left. We'll explain what to expect before we head out.
- 2
We come to your vehicle
Our mobile locksmith travels to your location in West Hills. There is no towing and no dealership trip. We work in driveways, parking lots, and street-side spots.
- 3
Verify ownership and confirm the key by VIN
We check your ID and proof of ownership, then use the VIN to confirm the correct key type for your Ford. This tells us whether you need a bladed transponder key or a push-button Intelligent Access key.
- 4
Cut and program the new key
We make the new key on site and program it so your Ford recognizes it. For all-keys-lost situations we can generally create a new key without an original on hand.
- 5
Test everything before we leave
We test the key in the door, ignition or push-button start, and the remote functions so you know it works. If you want a spare, this is the best time to add one.
What affects the price
- Key type: a basic transponder key and a push-button Intelligent Access key are different in cost.
- Number of working keys: an all-keys-lost situation takes more work than adding a spare when you still have one.
- Model and year of your Ford, which is confirmed by VIN and determines the key and programming needed.
- Number of keys you want made, since adding spares during the same visit is usually more efficient.
- Time of day and your location, as after-hours service and distance can affect the quote.
Ford keys across West Hills
West Hills covers a lot of ground, and Ford trucks and SUVs are a common sight here. We help drivers in the Shadow Ranch area, along the Platt Village and Platt Ave corridor, and in the Valley Circle foothills near the Bell Canyon edge. Whether you are in a neighborhood driveway or a shopping lot, we come to you, and we regularly serve ZIP codes 91307, 91304, and 91308.
Keys go missing in all kinds of places: a day at Shadow Ranch Park, a visit to Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center, a shift at West Hills Hospital & Medical Center, a school drop-off at Chaminade College Preparatory, or a hike in the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve. If your Ford key is lost at any of them, call (323) 997-8867 and we will meet you at the vehicle.
