Lost Keys

Broken Keys

After a few years of using it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key is damaged in the lock, you'll have to purchase a new one. If the remainder of the lock key is still in good condition you might be able to repair it.

A paperclip works well to grasp the broken piece from both sides and pull it out. If the broken piece isn't stuck too far within the lock, you can try using a pair pliers. If it's broken close to the lock, you may require a tool called a "key extractor" which is an iron bar with a barb on it similar to screws. The bar is placed into the locking mechanism, and then twisted until it digs the barb into it. This will release the key.

If you have the right tools, it's not difficult to replace a keyboard key. You'll require the key cap (the part made of plastic that goes over the switch) as well as a keypad and a key retainer clip. The cap for the key has small metal or plastic posts on the underside that fit into small slots on the switch.

Fobs Not Working

It may appear impossible that your key fob requires regular maintenance, but they could stop working at any time. Sometimes, the issue could be as simple as the battery being dead. If you've changed the batteries but your fob is still not working, you should look for a different solution.

Another reason that can cause a fob to stop working is that the buttons are been worn out. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts send coded signals to the receiver inside your car that communicates the action you want the key to do. If the contacts on the fob's key are damaged and you are not able to press the button or send a different message than what you expected.

This issue can be fixed quickly by using a car key to unlock your doors or start your engine. You can reset the fob by following the instructions in the owner's handbook of your car (check online for specific instructions).

If replacing the batteries or programming doesn't work, it could be required to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys must be programmed to match your car's specific VIN, and certain errors or wear and tear can cause this programming to become corrupted.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chips on your car key are an important part of the car key. The transponder chip in your car key are an essential component of the car key. They transmit the signal, which has an unique frequency when the key is inserted into the ignition. The device inside the vehicle then detects the code in order to recognize it's you. The engine won't begin to run if the device inside the car does not recognize the signal. This is a measure of security designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their cars and driving them off.

The chip does not contain an battery, therefore it does not require charging or replaced. It must however be programmed into the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU and that's the reason why you should take your key to a locksmith.

There are a variety of transponder chips that are available on the market, the most popular are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks come with a plastic head with an opening that can accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then slid into a carrier (or sleeve) on the back of the key bow (plastic head). Here is a photograph of a sleeve holder from an Ford Key. You can extract the transponder from a broken key by using the PVC pipe cutter that ratchets or another method to take out the sleeve.

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