Broken Keys

It can be a major issue if the key you have broken in the lock. There are solutions to fix the issue without the expense of buying a new key.

First, take out the broken piece using needle-nosed pliers. You can find these types of pliers in the tool section of most hardware stores. You can also get a pair tweezers with a natural opening large enough to accommodate the blade of the key.

Be careful not to apply too much pressure. Applying too much pressure will only cause the crack to get worse. Apply a small amount of grease on the end of the key to decrease friction when inserting it into the lock. You can buy a lubricant spray that is specifically designed for keys for cars or coat the key's end with WD-40.

A locksmith or a dealer in vehicles can also issue keys for replacement. You will need to present a valid photo identification and proof of ownership in order for the dealer to issue a replacement key. The dealer will also need to pair the computer chip to your vehicle, which could take several weeks.

Last but not least, some keys need to be coded before they can work with your car. So, if your key was damaged while you attempted to start or open your vehicle, you'll need to bring it back to the dealer to be coded.

The cost of replacing a key varies according to the car however, it is typically between $100-$200. A majority of people prefer going to their local dealer as it is a simple and cost-effective procedure. If you have a high-end or specialty vehicle, it could be best to go to the dealer of the manufacturer instead. In these cases you might need to have the vehicle towed and show proof of ownership to the dealer before they are able to issue the new key. In some instances it is covered under the warranty for your vehicle.

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys are a common feature in cars manufactured within the past 20 years. A transponder chip is inserted in the head of your car key and when it's inserted into your ignition, the antenna ring sends an impulsive radio frequency energy to the chip. The chip responds by generating an identification code. The message is then relayed to the vehicle's immobilizer, and if the correct code is in place then the engine will be able to start.

If the correct code does not exist the immobilizer will be deactivated and prevent the vehicle from starting. Transponder keys can help prevent car theft by adding an extra layer of security. It is also why it is important to replace your car keys by an experienced locksmith who is familiar with working with different auto manufacturer's anti-theft systems.

A lot of people believe that the only way to obtain a new transponder key is through their local car dealer. Although the dealer has the equipment required, an experienced locksmith can make a transponder for a much lower cost and provide an easier service.

Beishir Lock and Security carries the largest selection of transponder keys for many different vehicles. If you have a standard transponder key, remote flip key or a FOBIK chip, we can change it and program it for you. We can even design keys for your vehicle from scratch if needed.

It is important to know that if you're currently using a non-transponder car key, it is not possible to upgrade to a transponder key because the built-in anti-theft system will not allow this. If you're worried about your vehicle being stolen, it is highly recommended to buy a transponder-enabled key.

When it comes to securing your vehicle, it is essential that you choose the right type of lock. Locksmiths can help you with any type of lock. But, if you're looking to add an additional layer of security to your vehicle, consider investing in a key transponder.

Remote Fobs

A lot of cars today have remote fobs that allow drivers to open doors, trunks and tailgates, and some can even start the vehicle. These tiny wireless devices communicate with the vehicle using radio signals and operate on the power of batteries. However, if the fob's battery fails it could cause the device to become useless.

Most of these small remotes come with casings that can be opened easily. Once you've managed to pry the case open, you'll need to find an appropriate replacement battery that will fit within the space available. Fortunately, the majority of these batteries are readily found in auto parts stores and some supermarkets.

Reassembling the key fob is essential after replacing the battery. To avoid damaging the shell, pry the key fob open in several places using a flat-blade screwdriver. The fob should be resnapped and test all buttons. If all is well, you're done!

However, if the device still isn't functioning it could be more serious than a damaged battery. It could have lost its programming and need to be repaired by a dealer or a locksmith.

The fobs typically come with a button that can be hit to reset their reprogramming. The process is usually fast however, it will depend on the car model and make. The key fob has to be "programmed again" to transmit the digital identity code to car's onboard computers. This process is different for each car model and year, but it generally involves engaging the power in the car (often multiple times) while holding different levers or buttons.

Some retailers, including some locksmiths and automotive parts stores can program fobs from aftermarket stores bought online. But CR's Yu warns that these fobs could not function properly, and can be difficult to fix. If you decide to purchase a remote fob from an outside vendor be sure to choose an authorized seller and check the fine print for details on whether the fob requires dealer-level programming. Some retailers, for example some Audi dealerships have you visit the dealer to get a third-party fob programed.
