Lost or Damaged Keys

The last thing that any driver wants to deal with is losing their car keys. It's not only a pain to be without a means of transportation, but it can also be costly to replace. You can save money and time by making a duplicate of the key before you lose the original. You can do this either by attaching a colorful keychain to your keys, or by using neon stickers to mark the keys.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are required to operate the PASSLOCK ignition system or MATS ignition. The chips are built into the key fob and send out an electrical signal that tells the computer in the car to open the doors and turn on the engine.

Whether your car is equipped with transponders or not, Beishir Lock and Security can provide you with keys with an integrated chip for the same cost that you'd pay at a car dealership. Our locksmiths can also program and cut your new key for you, saving you money in the end.

Transponder keys are extremely useful to stop auto theft. They are the first line of defense against theft of vehicles and can help keep cars safe from car thieves. The antenna inside the ignition cylinder sends an alert to the transponder chip that is embedded within the head made of plastic. The vehicle's computer then analyzes the information against the profile stored for a valid key and allows it to start.

It's important to know that not all transponder chips from recycled are compatible with every compatible vehicle. Some are locked, meaning they only are compatible with specific types, makes and years. The head of the car key will also be molded with a symbol, part number, identifying characters or key code stamped onto it to indicate the vehicle it is compatible with.

Keyless Entry Remotes

The majority of modern cars come with a remote keyless system. They can be placed on the dash or, in the case of the majority of newer models, they are kept in your pocket or purse and let you unlock and start your car with the push of a button. While these systems are convenient, they are prone to failure and require costly replacement parts. Most dealers charge for programming a new key fob but there is another option.

It is a good idea to keep at least one spare key and fob, even if there are no issues with your originals. A backup key can protect you if your original is stolen or lost. It's a good idea keep a spare set keys in case you need them.

Although the exact procedure may differ depending on your Lexus model and year, it's generally easy to swap out the battery in a key fob that is depleted. Remove the mechanical or metal keys using a screwdriver. Then, twist and press the flat side of your key to break the fob's back open (a paperclip can aid). Replace the battery you have with a new one. Make sure the + terminal is facing upwards.

You can purchase pre-programmed key fobs online from some retailers if you are worried about losing yours. Be sure that the seller has a good reputation for honesty and requires proof of ownership or registration before purchasing.

Ignition locks

Ignition locks serve as an anti-theft mechanism that prevents thieves from stealing your car. When your key is in the cylinder for ignition locks, it tells the car's security system that you have your original keys with you and that you are able to start the car. The system will keep the car locked until you remove the ignition switch from its lock position with the original keys or replace it with a fresh one.

While they appear to be impervious to damage, a car's ignition switches aren't immune to the ravages of time. They can also fail. A common cause for a problem is a worn spring or pin. These parts are prone to be worn out over the course of use, and it can be difficult to know when they require replacement.

You might be able to restore it to working condition by disassembling the ignition switch and lubricating the moving parts. You'll need to disconnect the battery before you take the steering wheel off, which requires a special tool like a steering wheel puller. You'll also need an electric screwdriver that has a small tip to press the release pin that is located on the top of the switch.
