Losing a car key in Westlake Village rarely happens somewhere convenient. It happens in the parking structure near The Promenade, in a trailhead lot off Lindero Canyon Road, outside an office park after a long day, or in the driveway of a gated home when the fob battery finally gives up. Whatever the setting, the problem is the same: the car is there, the key is not, and you need to get moving.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar built the business around coming to the customer. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit and no tow to a dealership lot required. We bring key cutting and programming equipment to your vehicle, whether you are in a residential cul-de-sac, a hotel lot, or a business park, and we work around the clock.

Modern vehicles complicate the old idea of a spare key. Many cars use transponder chips, remote fobs, or push-button start smart keys that must be electronically matched to the car. A key that is only cut will often turn the lock but not start the engine. Our work covers both parts, the physical cut and the programming, so the new key actually works. If you have lost every key, that is still something we can usually handle on site.

How it works in Westlake Village

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model, and year, where the car is, and whether you have any working key left. This helps us bring the right key blanks and programming tools.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership

    Before we make a key for a vehicle, we need reasonable proof that it is yours, such as ID matched to registration or title. This protects you and every other car owner in Westlake Village.

  3. 3

    Cut the key at your vehicle

    We cut the key on site using the vehicle's key code or by working from the lock itself when no original exists. For many cars this means no towing and no waiting on a dealership.

  4. 4

    Program the transponder or fob

    We pair the new key or remote with the car's immobilizer so it starts the engine and operates the locks. For smart keys, we set up proximity and push-start functions as the vehicle allows.

  5. 5

    Test everything before we leave

    We test the door, trunk, remote functions, ignition or start button, and verify the key works consistently. We can also add a spare so you are not stranded again.

  6. 6

    Remove old key concerns

    If a lost key could be in the wrong hands, ask us about options for the vehicle's system. Some vehicles allow erasing lost keys from memory so only the new ones work.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since European and some newer models require more involved programming than older domestic cars.
  • Key type: a basic cut key, a transponder key, a remote head key, or a push-button smart key each involve different parts and procedures.
  • Whether you have an existing working key to copy or all keys are lost, which changes the work needed to generate a new one.
  • Time of day and your location, as after-hours service and travel across the area can affect the quote.
  • Number of keys you want made, because adding a spare during the same visit is often more efficient than a second call.
  • Any damage that complicates the job, such as a broken key stuck in the ignition or a worn lock cylinder.

Why Westlake Village chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we come to your car in Westlake Village rather than asking you to tow it or find a shop.
  • Serving the region since 1987, with owner David Shar leading the work, so the experience behind the job is real and not a call-center script.
  • On-site cutting and programming together, so you leave with a key that both opens and starts the car.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when you are locked out of a lot late at night or heading out early on US-101.
  • Straightforward quotes explained by the factors involved, with no surprises about what is driving the cost.
  • Ownership verification on every job, a step that protects you and your vehicle.

Car Key Replacement across Westlake Village

Westlake Village covers a mix of settings, and car key problems show up differently in each. In the First Neighborhood, driveways and garages tend to be where a failed fob battery strands someone. On Westlake Island, lakefront homes behind gates often mean vehicles parked in tight private drives, and we are used to working in those spaces. In Three Springs, larger properties and hillside streets mean we plan for access and parking before we arrive.

We serve ZIP codes 91361, 91362, and 91359, which the city shares with Thousand Oaks. That overlap means a call from Westlake Boulevard (SR-23) or Thousand Oaks Boulevard may be on either side of a boundary, but for us it is the same service area. Whether your car is near the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, along Agoura Road, or at the corporate office parks near the freeway, we come to you.

Commuters on US-101 and Lindero Canyon Road lose keys at gyms, trailheads, restaurants, and offices at all hours. Since we are mobile and available around the clock, you do not need to wait for a business to open. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will work out the plan for your vehicle.

Car Key Replacement in Westlake Village — FAQs

Can you make a car key if I have lost all my keys?
In many cases, yes. We can cut and program a new key on site even with no original, once ownership is verified. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details so we can confirm what is needed.
Do I need to tow my car to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to your car in Westlake Village. There is no storefront, and most keys are cut and programmed right where the vehicle is parked.
Will the new key start my car?
That is the point of programming. We pair transponder keys and fobs with the vehicle's system and test the engine start before we leave, so it works beyond just turning the lock.
What proof of ownership do I need?
Generally a valid photo ID along with registration, title, or other documents tying you to the vehicle. We ask for this on every job to protect owners.
Can you replace a smart key or push-button start fob?
Often we can, depending on the make, model, and year. Some systems are more restrictive than others, so call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details and we will tell you what is realistic.
What affects the cost of a replacement key?
Mainly the vehicle, the key type, whether any key still works, how many keys you want, and when and where you need service. We explain these factors when you call rather than guessing.
Do you work at night or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7. Lost keys do not follow business hours, and our mobile service is built around that.
Should I get a spare key made now?
It is wise. Making a spare while a working key exists is usually simpler than starting from zero after losing everything. Ask when you call (323) 997-8867 and we can add one during the same visit.
