Lost Keys

All keys should be kept secure at all times, and no one may possess more than one key at one time (with the exception of keys that have broken in locks). Completed Lost/Stolen key reports must be submitted to University Safety. A police report is required if the loss was determined to be the result of criminal activity.

Broken Keys

After a couple of years of use it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your key breaks inside the lock, you'll have to replace it. But if the rest of the key is in good condition you may be able to repair it.

A paperclip can be used to grab the broken piece from both sides and push it out. If it isn't stuck far inside the lock, you can also try a pair of pliers. If the key is broken very close to lock, you might require a "key extraction" tool that has a bar that has an elongated barb that is similar to a screw.

It's easy to replace the keys on a keyboard provided you have the right tools. You'll need keys, a cap (the part made of plastic that goes over the switch) as well as a keypad, and a key retainer clip. The cap of the key is made of metal or plastic posts on its underside which fit into tiny slots on the switch. To replace a cap on a key, carefully remove the internal components of the key.

Fobs Not Working

It might seem a bit absurd to think that your key device may require regular maintenance however, it's not uncommon for them to stop working at some point. In some cases, the problem is a simple one, such as dead batteries. If you've changed your batteries, but your device is still not working, you need to explore a different solution.

Another reason that causes fobs to cease functioning is that the buttons are worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts send coded messages to the receiver in your car that communicates the action you would like the key to perform. If the contacts on the fob's key are damaged, you may not be capable of pressing the button, or it may send a different message than what you intended.

A possible quick fix for this issue is to utilize a physical key to unlock your car's doors and start the engine. You can reset the fob by following instructions in the owner's guidebook of your car (check online for specific instructions).

If replacing the batteries and programming your key fob don't help you, you may need to have it replaced or repaired. Modern keys need to be programmed to match your car's specific VIN and certain mistakes or wear and tear could cause this programming to be corrupted.

Transponder Chips

This is a measure of security designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their cars and driving them away.

The chip doesn't contain a battery so does not require charging or replaced. It does however need to be programmed to the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU This is why it's important to bring your keys to a locksmith.

Transponder chips are available in several varieties, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks are made of the head of a plastic with an opening to accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then slid into the carrier (or sleeves) to the side of the key bow (plastic head). Here is a photo of one of these sleeve holders from a Ford key here. You can harvest the transponder from a broken key by using an PVC pipe cutter that ratchets or another method to take out the sleeve.

A transponder-type key is more expensive than a regular metal key due to the chip, however, it is less expensive than a fob, or smart key. The cost of these keys depends on your vehicle's make and model.
