Ford Escape Key Replacement
Lost, broken or spare Ford Escape key? We cut and program Escape keys and fobs on-site for all model years from 2001 to present — fast and affordable.
Call (909) 455-3660Whether you drive a brand-new Ford Escape or an older one, Don's Locksmith can replace or duplicate your key at your location. The right key for your Escape depends on its model year — here's how Ford Escape keys have evolved.
Ford Escape Key Types by Year
| Model Years | Typical Key Type |
|---|---|
| Escape 2001–2007 | Transponder key — a transponder chip key, sometimes combined with a separate remote. Both the cut and the chip programming must match your vehicle. |
| Escape 2008–2013 | Remote head key / early smart key — typically a remote head key (key and remote in one) or, on higher trims, an early proximity smart key. Cutting plus on-board programming is required. |
| Escape 2014–2018 | Proximity smart key — commonly a proximity smart key with push-button start on many trims, alongside transponder keys on base models. Programming uses the vehicle’s security system. |
| Escape 2019–present | Proximity smart key / push-to-start — usually a proximity smart key with push-button start, and on some vehicles phone-as-key features. A replacement must be programmed to the car’s encrypted security system. |
Key technology varies by trim and region; call us with your exact year and VIN and we'll confirm the right key for your Ford Escape.
