Losing a car key in Woodland Hills rarely happens at a convenient moment. It might be a parking structure in Warner Center after a long workday, a spot along Ventura Blvd after dinner, or a driveway in the hills where a key fob slipped out of a pocket on a hike. Whatever the setting, the problem is the same: the car is there, and the way to start it is not.

Crenshaw Lock Company is fully mobile. We have no storefront for you to tow your car to, which is the point: we bring the key cutting and programming equipment to wherever the vehicle is parked. That saves you a tow and the wait that comes with it. We have served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, under owner and lead technician David Shar.

Modern car keys are more than metal. Many contain a transponder chip, and many newer vehicles use a smart key or push-button fob that must be electronically paired with the car. A replacement has to be cut correctly when it is a blade key and programmed correctly so the car accepts it. We handle both, including the common situation where every key has been lost and there is nothing to copy from.

How it works in Woodland Hills

  1. 1

    Call and describe the situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 any hour. Tell us the make, model, and year, where the car is parked, and whether you have any working key. Every vehicle is different, so these details tell us what kind of key and programming your car needs.

  2. 2

    We come to your car

    A technician drives to you, whether that is a home in Walnut Acres, a lot near Westfield Topanga, or the street outside a Warner Center tower. Because we are mobile, the car stays where it is.

  3. 3

    Verify ownership

    Before making a key, we confirm you are the rightful owner or authorized user. Expect to show identification and proof such as registration or title that matches the vehicle. This protects you and every other owner.

  4. 4

    Cut the key

    If your car uses a traditional or high-security blade, we cut it on site to match the car's lock, working from the vehicle's code or from the lock itself when no original key exists.

  5. 5

    Program and pair

    We then program the transponder or fob so the car recognizes it. Depending on the vehicle, this may involve connecting to the car's onboard system to add the new key.

  6. 6

    Test everything

    Before we finish, we test the key in the door, the ignition or start button, and any remote functions. If you want a spare while we are there, ask, since it is far easier to make one now than to repeat this after losing the last key.

What affects the price

  • Type of key: a basic blade, a transponder key, a remote-head key, and a smart or proximity fob differ greatly in parts and programming effort.
  • Make, model, and year: some manufacturers make programming more involved, and certain vehicles need specialized procedures or equipment.
  • Whether any working key remains: copying from an existing key is usually simpler than creating a first key when all keys are lost.
  • Number of keys needed: adding a spare during the same visit is generally more efficient than a separate trip later.
  • Time and location of the call: after-hours service and hard-to-reach spots, such as a hillside street or a deep parking structure level, can affect the quote.
  • Extra work on the vehicle: a damaged ignition or worn door lock may need repair before a new key works properly.

Car Key Replacement across Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills covers a wide mix of places where a car key goes missing. In Warner Center, residents and workers park in large structures beneath office towers and high-rise residential buildings, and a lost fob there often means waiting on a tow. We come to the structure instead. Around Westfield Topanga & The Village and along the Ventura Blvd commercial corridor, shoppers and diners are often a long way from home when a key disappears.

Further into the neighborhoods, we work in Walnut Acres, Vista de Oro, and the hillside streets South of the Boulevard, where driveways can be steep and gated. Tell us about any gate codes or access instructions when you call. Students and staff near Los Angeles Pierce College, and families around Serrania Park, also call when a key is left behind or broken in a lock.

We serve the ZIP codes 91364, 91367, and 91365, and reach drivers via Ventura Blvd, Topanga Canyon Blvd, Victory Blvd, Vanowen St, Canoga Ave, De Soto Ave, Mulholland Dr, Shoup Ave, and the US-101. Wherever in Woodland Hills your car is parked, call (323) 997-8867.
