Car Keys Replacement & Duplicate

History

A decade or two ago keys for an automobile were shall we say somewhat different. The technology with keys for unlocking or starting a vehicle worked upon variable grooves cut into a tiny piece of metal. This typically was only on one side the same as a deadbolt or doorknob key cutout. This was a standard design that, in addition to an actual locksmith shop, could be duplicated at most hardware stores, department stores and even some gas stations. Anywhere that had a duplicating machine could handle the task. Many hardware stores do still have this convenience available for older automobiles.

Modern Technology

After the year 2000, the technology marketed quickly began to change when it came to the design and manufacturing of devices for accessing vehicles. The traditional method for accessing automobiles was with a standard groove cut lock with cylinders. Some autos still use this older type of device in combination with encrypted wireless digital technology for gaining access and starting the vehicle. There are a variety of other features that can also be controlled with these wireless fob remote devices.

Advanced Technology

Newer vehicles require special equipment for making a physical device that can access the ignition and door locks. These devices are made and copied by a special code. You only have two options. Either return to the dealer where the vehicle originally was sold from or contact a locksmith with the advanced equipment and training to properly produce a substitute device for unlocking and starting your vehicle.

Existing Options

The same problem exists if you need to replace a lost or damaged device. Either the car dealer or a certified locksmith with the proper training. The expertise necessary is much greater than it was in years past for making a substitution for vehicles.


Returning to the dealer for a substitute will cost significantly more mainly because most dealerships must order the parts and can only commit to the work if done at their location. Oftentimes your vehicle will be on the waiting list behind many other service repairs the shop is currently handling. Also, most dealerships will insist your vehicle be towed to their location using their towing vehicle. This can add even more significant fees to the overall cost.


With a wait time possible of several days or more, you have only a few options for transportation. Taxi, bus, rent a vehicle, ride a bike or walk. Except for walking, all these options will also significantly add to the cost of having your vehicle lock repaired.

Experience you can Trust

5/5

Not all locksmith companies are created equal. Some companies will use low-grade generic parts as a substitution with your vehicle. This could very likely leave you venerable to a break-in or even worse. A stolen vehicle. The lower grade technology used by many of the non-professional unlicensed companies can make it easy for a thief to get past the locks and security system of your automobile. That is not all. It also can leave you at risk of being stranded a second time due to the same problem. Because you cannot access your vehicle simply because your device or remote suddenly stopped working. It can also be because someone deliberately hijacked your remote and erased the programming.
