Family Tradition
Curleys Key Shop has been a Pomona Valley institution since 1951 — founded by Hobart “Curley” Causey and now in its fifth generation of family ownership. That kind of history means something. It means experience you can trust, and a shop that treats every customer like a neighbor.
Local Legacy
For over 70 years, Curleys Key Shop has served homes and businesses across the Pomona Valley with honest work and fair pricing. From old skeleton keys to the latest electronic locks and key fobs, we’ve grown with the trade — and we’re still the first call for customers who want it done right. Call us at (909) 622-6716.
Claremont is a busy academic and residential community where vehicles are constantly in use — whether it’s students and faculty at the Claremont Colleges, residents running errands around The Village, or commuters heading to the 10 freeway. Misplaced, damaged, or non-functional car keys are a reality for many of these drivers, and getting a replacement shouldn’t mean a long trip to the dealership. Curleys Key Shop provides car key replacement in Claremont, cutting and programming keys for most vehicles quickly and at a fair price. Call (909) 622-6716 to schedule service.
Replacement Car Keys for Claremont Drivers
Curleys Key Shop handles car key replacement for all vehicle types found in Claremont — from basic mechanical keys for older vehicles to sophisticated proximity smart keys for current model-year cars. Our technicians are trained on the full range of key systems, and we carry the cutting and programming tools to complete most jobs on the spot.
Keys Lost Near the Colleges or Anywhere in Claremont
Keys go missing around the Claremont Colleges and throughout the city regularly — dropped in a parking lot, left behind in a busy campus environment, or simply misplaced during a full day of activity. If you’re left without a working key, Curleys Key Shop provides on-site service anywhere in the Claremont area, eliminating the need to arrange a tow to the dealership.
We identify your vehicle’s key type, cut the blade, program the transponder or smart key system, and have you driving again as quickly as possible.
Key Replacement Without the Dealership Markup
Dealership key replacement — particularly for newer vehicles with smart key or proximity key systems — can be expensive. Curleys Key Shop offers professional key cutting and programming at competitive pricing, providing Claremont drivers with a practical, cost-effective alternative. You get the same quality of replacement without the inflated service department pricing.
We work on:
- Standard transponder chip keys
- Remote head keys with integrated key blade and fob
- Push-to-start smart key systems
- Laser-cut high-security keys
- Traditional keys for older vehicles without chip systems
RELIABLE LOCKSMITH SERVICES AT YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS
A Full Range of Key Types and Systems
Key technology has evolved significantly over the past two decades, and Curleys Key Shop has kept pace with those changes. Whether your vehicle uses a basic chip key from the early 2000s or the latest proximity key system from a current model year, we have the tools and training to provide a proper replacement. You won’t be turned away because your key system is too new or too complex.
Worn Keys and When to Replace Them
Not all key replacement situations involve a lost key. Keys wear down over time — the ridges on the blade become less defined, the chip can develop intermittent communication issues, and the physical housing can crack or loosen. If your key is starting to cause starting problems or fits loosely in the ignition, a replacement before full failure is the smarter move.
