Losing every working key does not always mean your vehicle must be towed to a dealership. Depending on the vehicle, an automotive locksmith may be able to produce a replacement key without copying an existing one.
The work may include gaining authorized access to the vehicle, identifying the correct key, cutting the blade and programming the transponder or smart key. Proof of ownership and government-issued identification may be required before service begins.
Which type of key does your vehicle use?
You don’t need to know the exact name of your car key. Send us your vehicle’s year, make and model, and we’ll help identify the appropriate replacement and programming options.
Basic mechanical car keys use a cut metal blade without electronic programming. We can duplicate or replace many traditional vehicle keys, depending on the make, model and available key information.
Transponder keys contain an electronic chip that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer. The blade must be cut correctly, and the chip usually needs to be programmed before the vehicle will start.
A remote-head key combines the key blade, transponder chip and remote buttons in one unit. Replacement may include blade cutting, chip programming and pairing the lock and unlock buttons with the vehicle.
Flip keys have a metal blade that folds into the remote housing. Depending on the vehicle, replacing one can involve cutting the blade, transferring or programming the chip, and configuring the remote.
Often called laser-cut or sidewinder keys, these keys have a distinctive milled blade and require specialized cutting equipment. Many also contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to the vehicle.
Smart keys allow compatible vehicles to unlock or start when the fob is nearby. Replacement typically requires the correct compatible fob and vehicle programming, followed by testing of its available functions.
