A dead or missing key fob rarely picks a convenient moment. In Woodland Hills it tends to happen in a Westfield Topanga parking structure, at the curb on Ventura Blvd after dinner, or in the driveway of a hillside home just as you are leaving for the 101. Modern fobs are small computers, and replacing one is more than cutting a piece of metal. The new key has to be matched to your car's immobilizer and programmed so the vehicle accepts it.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and owner and lead technician David Shar has watched car keys evolve from simple cut blades to transponder chips, remote fobs, and push-button proximity keys. We are fully mobile. There is no storefront to visit and no tow to a shop. We come to you, day or night, with the equipment to work on your vehicle where it sits.

This page explains how fob replacement works, what affects the cost, and what to expect if you are in Warner Center, Walnut Acres, Vista de Oro, or anywhere else around Woodland Hills. If you would rather talk it through, call (323) 997-8867 and we will ask a few questions about your vehicle.

How it works in Woodland Hills

  1. 1

    Tell us about the vehicle

    When you call, we ask for the make, model, and year, what kind of key you have now, and whether you have any working key at all. A push-button start car with a proximity key is handled differently from an older car with a flip key and separate remote, so these details shape the plan.

  2. 2

    Confirm ownership

    Before making a key, we ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, typically a registration or title along with your ID. This protects you. A fob that can start your car should only go to the person entitled to it.

  3. 3

    Come to your location

    Because we are mobile, we meet you at home, at work, or in a parking lot. That could be a Warner Center tower garage, a street near Pierce College, or a driveway off Mulholland Dr. You do not need to move the car.

  4. 4

    Cut, prepare, and program

    Where the key has a physical blade, we cut it to your vehicle's code. We then program the transponder and remote functions so the car recognizes the new fob. When the car's system requires it, we also clear lost fobs so they can no longer operate the vehicle.

  5. 5

    Test every function

    Before we finish, we test locking, unlocking, trunk or hatch release, panic, and starting the engine. If your car supports additional fobs, this is a good time to add a spare so you are not stranded again.

What affects the price

  • Vehicle make, model, and year, since some brands use more involved security systems than others
  • Type of key: basic remote head key, flip key, or push-button proximity smart key
  • Whether you still have a working key to copy from or every key is lost, which changes the programming work
  • Whether the fob is original equipment or a quality aftermarket unit that works with your vehicle
  • How many fobs you want made, including a spare, and whether old lost fobs should be erased from the car
  • Time of day and exact location, since we are available around the clock and travel to you

Why Woodland Hills chooses us

  • Fully mobile service: we work at your vehicle, so there is no towing to a dealership and no waiting for a shop to open.
  • Operating since 1987, with David Shar as owner and lead technician, so the experience behind the work is long-standing rather than new.
  • Available 24/7, which matters when a fob fails late at night or on a weekend.
  • We explain what is needed before work starts and describe the factors that shape the price, with no surprise add-ons.
  • Proof-of-ownership checks on every vehicle, which protects you and keeps replacement keys in the right hands.
  • We recommend a spare fob when it makes sense, because making a second key while one still works is usually simpler than starting from zero.

Key Fob Replacement across Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills spreads from the flats around Warner Center up into the Santa Monica Mountains foothills, and car key needs vary just as much. In Warner Center, residents and office workers park in large garages under high-rises, and a failed proximity key in a tight structure is a common call. In Walnut Acres and Vista de Oro, driveways and street parking mean we can often work right at the curb or in the garage while you stay close to home.

The area is also car-heavy. People commute along Ventura Blvd, Topanga Canyon Blvd, Canoga Ave, and Victory Blvd, then hop on the US-101. Many households here own late-model vehicles with smart keys, so a lost fob at Westfield Topanga & The Village or a dead battery that turns out to be a damaged fob board is something we understand well. We serve addresses throughout 91364, 91367, and 91365.

Whether you are in a hillside home south of Ventura Blvd, near Serrania Park, or parked at Los Angeles Pierce College, we come to you. Call (323) 997-8867 any time and we will talk through your vehicle and get a technician headed your way.

Key Fob Replacement in Woodland Hills — FAQs

Can you replace a key fob if I lost all my keys?
Yes, in many cases. An all-keys-lost situation takes more work than copying an existing key, but we can typically make and program a new fob on site. Call (323) 997-8867 with your vehicle details and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you come to me in Woodland Hills, or do I need to bring the car somewhere?
We are fully mobile and have no storefront. We come to your vehicle, whether it is in a Warner Center garage, a driveway in Walnut Acres, or a parking lot off Ventura Blvd.
Is replacing a fob cheaper than going to the dealership?
Price depends on your vehicle and key type, so we will not promise a comparison. What we can say is that mobile service saves you towing and a trip, and we explain the factors behind the price before starting.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
Sometimes. Compatibility depends on the vehicle and the fob itself. Call (323) 997-8867 with the make, model, year, and any numbers on the fob, and we can tell you whether it is likely to work.
What is the difference between a remote key fob and a smart key?
A remote fob locks and unlocks the doors and is often paired with a blade that starts the car. A smart or proximity key lets you enter and push-button start without taking it out of your pocket. Both can be replaced and programmed, but the process differs.
Will my old lost fob still work after you program a new one?
On many vehicles we can erase lost keys from the car's memory so they no longer work. Whether this is possible depends on the vehicle, and we can confirm when we know your make and model.
What do I need to show you?
We ask for proof that the vehicle is yours, usually registration or title along with a photo ID. It is a standard step that protects owners from unauthorized key duplication.
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes. We are available 24/7. If you are stuck in a parking structure at night or need a fob before a Monday commute, call (323) 997-8867.
