A broken car key or key fob is a major hassle. If you don't have a spare key, you'll have to contact an Lexus locksmith in your area that can provide you with a replacement key.

Lost or Damaged Keys

The last thing that any driver wants to deal with is losing their car keys. It is not only frustrating being without a means of transportation, but also costly to replace. But, it is possible to save some money and hassle by making an extra key before you lose the original one. You can do this by attaching a brightly-colored keychain to your keys, or by using neon stickers to label the keys.

Another option to reduce the costs of Lexus replacement keys is to purchase a Key Replacement protection product from TFS/LFS. The new product was launched on August 1, and allows customers to get a replacement key as well as a remote if they have lost, damaged or misplaced their original key.

These products are approximately 10 to 15 percent less than what locksmiths charge and they can be delivered much quicker. The buyer has to bring the original key to the dealer, who will verify ownership and code the key to sync with the immobilizer system. The key blade should be cut correctly and there are distinct programming procedures for each Lexus model. In some cases dealers might need to order a new key for you from the manufacturer.

Transponder Chips

If you own a car that has the PASSLOCK or MATS ignition system, it needs an transponder chip to operate. These chips are incorporated into the key fobs and transmit an indication to the car's computer which informs it to open the door and start the engine.

Whether your car is equipped with transponders or not, Beishir Lock and Security can make you the replacement key that has an integrated chip for the same price you would pay at a car dealership. The difference is that our locksmiths will cut and program your new key, which will save you a significant amount of money in the end.

Transponder keys can prove helpful in preventing auto theft. They are the first line of defense against vehicle theft and assist in keeping cars secure from thieves. The antenna in the ignition cylinder transmits signals to the transponder chip which is embedded in the head of plastic. The computer then compares the information with the profile of a valid, stored key to enable it to start.

It's important to be aware that not all transponder chips from recycled can be used on every compatible vehicle. Some are locked, which means that they only work with certain years, models and makes. The plastic head of the car key will also have a molded symbol, part number, identification character or key code stamped onto it to indicate the vehicle it will fit.

Keyless Entry Remotes

Many modern cars have a remote keyless system. They can be put in the dash or in the case of newer models, they can be placed in your pocket or wallet. With the push of one button, you will be allowed to unlock and begin the vehicle. These systems are useful however, they could fail and require expensive replacement parts. Most dealers charge for programming the new key fob, however, there's another alternative.

Even if the original keys are functioning properly it's a good idea to keep a spare. The backup can protect you in the event of a lost or stolen key. It's also a smart idea to have a set of keys that aren't in use to be able to be quickly programmed if required.

While the exact method may differ depending on your lexus key shell model and year, it's generally easy to swap out batteries in the key fob that are depleted. Use a screwdriver to remove the mechanical or metal key, then press and twist the flat end of the key to pop open the back of the key fob (a paperclip might help you). Take the old battery out and replace it with a new one, ensuring that the + terminal is facing up.

If you're worried about losing your key fob you can buy pre-programmed replacements online from some retailers. Be sure that the seller is known for honesty and requests proof of ownership or registration before purchasing.

Ignition Locks

The ignition locks stop thieves from stealing vehicles. When you put your keys in the ignition lock you are telling your car's integrated system of security that you have your original keys and that you are able to start the vehicle. The system will keep your car locked until you remove the ignition switch from the lock position using the original keys or replace it with a fresh one.

While they appear to be indestructible to some people, the ignition switches of vehicles aren't safe from the elements and may malfunction. A common cause of the issue is a worn-out spring or pin. These parts can wear over time, making it difficult to determine when they should be replaced.

You might be able to get it back to working condition by disassembling the ignition switch and lubricating all moving parts. You'll need to remove the steering wheel as well as disconnect the battery. This will require a special steering wheel puller. Also, you'll need a screwdriver with a small tip to push the release pin that is located on the side of the switch.

They can answer questions about how long you'll need an IID and what authority will oversee your program, and more.
