Ford Key Replacement in Houston

As Ford trucks, SUVs and commercial vans are very common in Houston, it makes sense that they comprise a significant part of our car key services. Mobile Ford key cutting and programming is provided right on the spot where the vehicle is parked. This is especially useful in case of work trucks and commercial vans that are parked on construction sites, company property, at home or in parking lots as towing would just waste your time and money.

Which Ford Key You Are Holding

We can provide you with replacement keys for a wide range of Ford models, among which there are F-150, F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, Explorer, Escape, Expedition, Bronco, Bronco Sport, Ranger, Maverick, Edge, Mustang, Transit, and Transit Connect.

Over the years Ford has used several key systems for its different vehicle models, therefore traditional bladed transponder keys were widely used for older models, whereas later models have remote head keys or even laser cut keys. Proximity smart fobs with push start button are now used in many newer models of Ford. It is better to provide us with the model, year and trim level when you call us so we could give you the most accurate information and price estimate.

When Your Truck Can Program Its Own Spare

It is possible for some Ford models to add a new key through a built-in procedure of adding the key in the vehicle, but the requirements are different from model to model. On many of the supported vehicles, it is necessary to have two properly programmed keys in order to add a new one by this procedure. If your Ford supports this option and you have the required keys, our operator will be able to inform you about that, so that you would not schedule an unnecessary service.

Once you lose one of the keys and become left with one working key, professional programming might be needed in order to create a spare. In case you have lost all the keys, our technician should perform a procedure when all keys are lost in order to make a replacement key, this procedure usually takes more time and costs more than creating a spare with working keys, that is why we recommend to add a spare key before losing them all.

Keys That Live on a Working Ring

The keys of the contractor or fleet trucks are subjected to a lot more wear and tear than keys of regular cars. Heavy keyring, frequent use of the key, wearing gloves, dirt, moisture, and dropping the key repeatedly will gradually damage the blade of the key, key housing, buttons, or the ignition cylinder. When a key becomes hard to turn in the cylinder, it is not necessarily means that it is because the ignition cylinder needs replacement.

Our technician will examine the condition of both the key and the ignition cylinder in order to find out whether the problem is with the key. Instead of simply making a duplicate, it would be better to cut a brand new key that complies with all the specifications in case the key itself is worn out. If you operate several Ford trucks, make sure to notify our operator how many keys are needed in order to cut them simultaneously on one visit.

Transits, Cargo Areas and Two Locks on One Van

Sometimes, the keys to the Ford Transit and Transit Connect vans differ for the cabin and cargo sections depending on the history of the particular car, for example if your car's key open only the driver's door but no other doors, please let us know about it during scheduling the appointment because it will make sure our expert will arrive prepared as in some cases, it is possible to rekey the locks compatible with each other to use the same key for both of them.

Ford replacement keys are cut and programmed right on the spot of the vehicle if mobile service is applicable. Whenever applicable, missing keys can also be removed from the registered key list of the vehicle so that they will no longer be able to start the engine. Call (832) 910-9448 and provide the year, model, and preferably the VIN of the vehicle along with your driver's license and proof of ownership/authorization.
