2010 Ford Escape Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from a woman in the East Ventura neighborhood. She was sitting in a pharmacy parking lot with her 2010 Ford Escape and needed a spare key made. First thing she told me was that she'd already looked up my BSIS license, LCO 6792, on the state website before dialing. Her last locksmith had no license at all. She found that out after the job when the receipt came back with no company name, no license number, and a phone number that was dead a week later.

I get why she checked. California requires locksmiths to be licensed through the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. That number is public record. Mine comes with a background check, active liability insurance, and NASTF certification, which is what gives me authorized access to Ford's factory PATS security data and pin codes.

When I got there, I showed her the OUCD6000022 fob before I touched anything. Cut the H75 blade on site, connected to the OBD-II port, pulled the PATS data through the factory path, and programmed the 80-bit transponder. The whole job took maybe 20 minutes.

She got a real receipt with a real license number, a real phone number, and a company van with a name on it. She said that alone was worth the call. After what happened last time, I believed her.
