Lost Keys

All keys must be secured at all times and no one may possess more than one key at one time (with the exception of keys that are broken in locks). Completed Lost/Stolen key reports must be submitted to University Safety. If the loss is believed to be due to criminal activity, a police report must be filed. The replacement cost for a lost/stolen lock key is $30 per key and has to be paid to the key holder responsible for the loss.

Broken Keys

It's not unusual for keys to break after a couple of years. If the key breaks inside the lock, you will need to replace it. If the rest of the key is still in good shape it could be possible to repair it.

A paperclip can be used to grab the broken piece from both sides, and then push it out. If the broken piece is not stuck too far inside the lock, you could try using a pair pliers. If the key is broken very close to lock, you might need an "key extraction" tool that has a bar that has an elongated barb that is similar to a screw. The bar can be installed into the lock and by twisting it you can push the barb into the key to extract it.

It's easy to replace keys on keyboards provided you have the right tools. You'll require the key cap (the part of plastic that covers the switch) along with a key pad as well as a key retainer clip. Key caps are composed of metal or plastic posts that are placed into slots on the switch. To replace a cap carefully remove all the internal components and mark their locations to be able to return them later. You may have to clean the keyboard first by ruby alcohol.

Fobs not working

It may seem odd to think that your key fob could require routine maintenance, however, it's not uncommon for them to cease working at some time. Sometimes, the problem can be as simple as the battery being dead. If you've tried changing your batteries and your fob isn't working, it might be time to look at a different solution.

Another reason that can cause fobs to cease functioning is because the buttons are worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside send coded signals to the receiver inside your vehicle that indicate the actions you would like the key to complete. If the contacts on your key fob are worn out, you may not be in a position to press the button or it might send a different message from what you intended.

It is possible to fix this issue quickly by using a car key to open your doors or start your engine. You can reset your fob by following instructions in the owner's manual of your car (check online for specific instructions).

If changing the batteries and programming your key fob aren't helping it is possible to replace it or have it repaired. Modern keys need to be programmed to correspond with your vehicle's specific VIN Certain errors or wear and tear may cause the programming to become corrupted.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chip inside your car keys is an important part of the key. They send out a signal with a unique frequency when the key is inserted in the ignition, the car's electronic device recognises the code and knows it's you. The engine won't begin when the device inside the car does not recognize the signal, which is security measure to prevent thieves from hot wiring cars and stealing them.

The chip is not powered by a battery, which means it does not require charging or replacement. It must be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you need to take your key to an expert locksmith.

There are seat key fob replacement of transponder chip available on the market, the most popular being Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks come with a plastic head with an opening that can accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then placed in the carrier (or sleeve) on the back of the bow (plastic head). Here is a picture of a sleeve holder from the Ford Key. With a PVC pipe cutter, or another method, you are able to remove the sleeve off of a damaged Ford key.

A regular transponder key is more expensive than a steel key because of the chip however, it is less expensive than a fob or a smart key. The cost of these keys is contingent on the make and model of your vehicle.
