Professional All Keys Lost in Los Angeles
Nobody plans for the day there is no key at all. Maybe you bought a used car near Lincoln Heights and the seller only handed over a copy that never turned, or your keys got lifted along with your bag somewhere off the 110. Either way, there is nothing left to duplicate.
That is the real all-keys-lost job, and it is the hardest one we do at Locksmith HQ 24/7. The car has to be read through its own computer and a fresh key built from the vehicle's data. We handle it on-site across central Los Angeles, from Boyle Heights to Little Tokyo, so nobody has to flatbed a car that simply won't start.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Los Angeles
When the van pulls up, we start by confirming exactly what you drive – year, make, model, and whether it uses a chip key, a remote-head key, or push-to-start. We plug into the OBD port under the dash, and on stubborn immobilizer systems we may pull the module to read its EEPROM chip and recover the security code the car needs before any key will work.
From there we cut a fresh blade to your car's code and program the new key so it both turns and starts the engine. Most jobs run one to two hours depending on the security system. We come to you anywhere across central LA and the freeways that stitch it together – the 10, the 110, the 101. Call (818) 398-9391.

FAQ
Can you make a key when I don't have a single working one?
Yes – that is exactly what all-keys-lost means. Because there is nothing to copy, we read your car directly through the OBD port or, on locked-down immobilizers, by pulling the module and reading its EEPROM chip. That gives us the security data to generate and program a brand-new key from scratch, right in your driveway or a parking lot. The car stays where it is.
How long does an all-keys-lost job take?
Most run about one to two hours. Older transponder cars are quicker; newer push-to-start models with rolling-code immobilizers take longer, and a few makes force a programming wait the car itself controls. Once we see the year, make, and model, we will give you a realistic time before we start.
Do I have to tow it to the dealer?
No. We come to you anywhere across central Los Angeles – Lincoln Heights, Boyle Heights, Chinatown, wherever the car is sitting – and build the key on-site. Skipping the tow and the dealer wait is usually the whole reason people call us. A flatbed to a dealership often costs more than the key itself.
How do you get the security or PIN code without the dealer?
We pull it from the car itself. Depending on the make, the immobilizer PIN is read through the diagnostic port or extracted from the EEPROM on the control module – no dealer database needed. We will ask for your ID and proof the car is yours first; making a key on someone else's vehicle isn't something we will do.

All Keys Lost? Your 5-Step Security Checklist
Losing every key to your car or home is stressful — but acting fast protects you. Here’s what to do right now:
- Don’t wait around. Whether you’re stuck outside your apartment in Koreatown or locked out of your car near The Grove, call a licensed locksmith immediately. Delays leave your property vulnerable. Reach us at (818) 398-9391 — we respond across all of LA County.
- Get your locks rekeyed or replaced. If you lost your house keys in a busy area like Hollywood or Downtown LA, assume someone could find them. A full rekey eliminates that risk.
- Request new car keys with updated programming. Modern vehicles require key fob reprogramming. A mobile locksmith can cut and program replacement keys on-site — no tow to the dealership needed.
- Check your insurance or roadside assistance. Many policies cover locksmith services partially. Have your policy number ready when you call.
- Store a spare key with someone you trust. A neighbor in your building or a family member in the Valley can save you from repeating this situation. Skip the fake rock — thieves in every neighborhood from Silver Lake to Woodland Hills know that trick.
