Losing the only key to a Ford F-150 or Explorer is stressful, especially when the truck is parked at an apartment off Vanowen or a driveway near Sherman Way. Most newer Fords use a PATS transponder key or an Intelligent Access push-button key, and neither can be replaced by a simple hardware-store copy. The vehicle has to recognize the new key before it will start.

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 tow to: our technician comes to your Ford in Winnetka, confirms the correct key for your vehicle using the VIN, and cuts and programs it on site. That saves you a tow and a trip across the Valley.

How it works in Winnetka

  1. 1

    Call and describe your Ford

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the model, the approximate year, whether you have a bladed key or a push-button key, and whether you have any working key left.

  2. 2

    Verify ownership and VIN

    We confirm you are the rightful owner with ID and registration, and we use the VIN to identify the correct key type for your specific F-150 or Explorer rather than guessing from the model name.

  3. 3

    We come to your vehicle

    Our mobile technician travels to your location in Winnetka, whether that is a driveway, an apartment garage or a retail parking lot, and works right at the truck or SUV.

  4. 4

    Cut and program the new key

    We prepare the new key and program it to your Ford so it starts the vehicle. If you have no working key, we handle the all-keys-lost process on site.

  5. 5

    Test everything and add a spare

    We test the key in the door, ignition or push-button start, and remote functions. We recommend a spare so one lost key never leaves you stranded again.

What affects the price

Ford keys across Winnetka

Winnetka is a mix of residential streets and busy corridors, and Ford trucks and SUVs are a common sight in all of it. In the Winnetka Ave and Sherman Way residential core, we often help owners whose F-150 sits in a driveway with a lost or broken key. Along the Vanowen St multifamily corridor and the De Soto Ave apartment district, many residents park in shared lots or garages, so a mobile visit saves the hassle of arranging a tow out of a tight space.

We serve all of ZIP 91306, including drivers who lose keys near the Winnetka Recreation Center, Prairie Street Elementary, Winnetka Bowl on Vanowen St, or the retail area at the former Winnetka Drive-In site. If you were shopping at Northridge Fashion Center just to the north and cannot find your Explorer key, we can come to you there as well. Call (323) 997-8867 and we will head to your vehicle.

Ford keys in Winnetka — FAQs

I lost all my Ford keys in Winnetka. Can you still make a new one?
Yes. All-keys-lost is something we handle regularly. We come to your F-150 or Explorer, verify ownership, use the VIN to identify the right key, and program a new one on site. Call (323) 997-8867.
Can you make a spare Ford key if I still have one?
Yes. Having a working key usually makes the process simpler, and a spare is a smart precaution. We can cut and program one at your location in Winnetka.
What if I do not have the original key or any paperwork?
You do not need the original key. We do need to verify that you own the vehicle, typically with ID and registration or title, and we use the VIN to confirm the correct key for your Ford.
What is the difference between a bladed PATS key and a push-button Intelligent Access key?
A PATS key is a metal-bladed key with a transponder that the vehicle must recognize. An Intelligent Access key is a push-button smart key that lets you unlock and start without inserting a blade. Each is programmed differently, and the VIN helps confirm which your Ford uses.
How do you confirm which key my Ford needs?
We use your VIN along with the model and year to determine the correct key type. We do not rely on guesses, since different F-150 and Explorer years can use different keys.
Do I have to tow my Ford to you?
No. We are fully mobile and come to the vehicle anywhere in Winnetka, including apartment lots and driveways. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, day or night.
