Smart Key
Duplication & Programming
Changes in technology have been vastly important in the security industry including in terms of the keys that you use each and every day. Many keys today are what are known as smart keys. Smart keys actually have computer chips installed inside of them that help to link a specific key to a specific lock. These are used primarily for automobiles but can be used with home smart locks, safes, and various other items that need to remain as safe and secure as possible when you are not using them.
However, with advanced security and technology comes greater difficulty in terms of duplication, programming, and replacement. If you misplace your smart keys or you simply need extra copies for another family member, you cannot just have the key cut and be done with it. The smart keys need to be duplicated and programmed to match your specifically programmed lock. While many people go to their car dealer to get a new or duplicate smart key for their vehicle, this is perhaps the most expensive route that you can go about the process. What you need is a locksmith service that can quickly and easily duplicate your smart keys.
We can help you with your smart key duplication needs. Locksmiths not only match your key with the make and model of your vehicle but specifically program it to your uniquely coded ignition. This will ensure that the key is not only cut to fit in the lock but that it will actually communicate with the computer system that runs your ignition and will start the car with no problem.

Car key extraction
Old and worn out keys are weak and tend to eventually break apart. Unfortunately, most of the time it happens when you are attempting to unlock the door lock or in the ignition when trying to start the car.
Most common reasons for broken keys:
- Damaged or worn out key – Worn out keys are weaker and more prone to damage. If your key shows wear and tear it is best to replace it before it breaks inside of your car’s door lock or ignition.
- Frozen lock or ignition – Extreme cold weather may be another reason why your key may break inside of your door lock or ignition. The easiest way to avoid this is to use de-icer or any lock lubricating tool once or twice a month during winter.
- Damaged door lock or ignition – If there is any type of damage to your lock or ignition do not try to force your key to turn because it will more than likely break. Also, if there is any kind or residue inside of your door lock or cylinder it may lead to stiffness of key usage and eventual damage of your key.
If your key is stuck in the car lock, don't panic, just call us now!
