Proof of ownership is a must. Be with the truck, with your ID and your registration.
This page is for a 2017 Ford F-150 with the keyed ignition, the job we walk through below. Ford offered the F-150 with two factory key options: a bladed key with a built-in remote that flips out like a switchblade and turns in a physical ignition lock, and a push-to-start proximity key, also called a smart key.
Other model years can use different keys, different locks and different programming steps, so we confirm your year (and your VIN, if needed) before we quote. If your truck is a different year, or a push-to-start model, call or text and we will tell you what yours needs.
Before we head your way, you should get a text from us with these three things, so there is no confusion:
The price for the job, quoted up front. You will know what it costs before we start.
When we will arrive and exactly where the truck is, in writing, for you to confirm.
Proof of ownership is a must. You need to be with the truck, with your ID and your registration or other proof of ownership.
We cannot make a key for a truck until we have confirmed it is yours, so proof of ownership is not optional.
These questions should be asked on the phone ahead of time, so the technician arrives with the right key:
Here is how the job goes, start to finish.
We ask whether you have the keypad code before the job starts. If you do not, the technician can remove the right-hand footwell panel on the passenger side, because the number is printed on the smart junction box. Sometimes a card with the number is also in the owner's manual, so it is always worth a look.
A mechanical key with a transponder in it. It unlocks the door and turns the ignition, but it has no built-in remote.
The key your truck came with when it was new, with the remote built in. Your VIN lets us verify which button layout fits.
We can erase every old key, in case someone finds yours, or leave them in the truck's memory in case you find yours. A key left in memory will still work as before.
Adding a second key while we are already making one is usually much cheaper, and smarter in the long run.
If all of your keys are lost, plan on spending anywhere from $250 to $400 on a new key for your Ford F-150. Your exact quote depends on the key you choose and how many you want, and we send it by text before we start.

That is fine. Picking the lock open is the first step. We decode the locks from there to make the key, and we cut a test blank first so we do not waste an expensive key.
