Lost Keys

All keys should be kept safe at all the time. No one can have more than one at a given time (except for keys that have been damaged in locks). Completed reports on stolen or lost keys must be submitted to University Safety. If the loss is thought to be due to criminal or other criminal activity, a police investigation must be filed. The replacement fee for a lost/stolen lock key is $30 per key and must be paid to the key holder responsible for the loss.

Broken Keys

After a few years of use it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key is damaged inside the lock, you will have to replace it. But if the rest of the key is still in good shape it could be possible to repair it.


A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece from both sides and pull it out. If it isn't stuck far inside the lock, you can also try a pair of pliers. If the key is damaged close to the lock, you might require a "key extraction" tool with an elongated bar with a barb similar to the screw. The bar can be inserted into the lock, and by twisting it, you can insert the barb into the key to release it.

It's easy to replace a key on a keyboard with the proper tools. You'll require the key cap (the part of plastic that covers the switch), key pad and key retainer clip. The cap for the key has small metal or plastic posts on the underside that fit into tiny slots on the switch. To replace a cap on a key, carefully remove the internal parts of the key, and then note their location so that you can put them back later. It is possible to clean the keyboard with rubbing alcohol prior to moving on.

Fobs not working

It may seem far-fetched to think that your device could require routine maintenance, but it isn't unusual to see them stop working at some time. In some instances, the problem is simple, such as dead batteries. If you have changed your batteries, but the fob still not working, it's time to consider a different approach.

The buttons may also wear out, which is a common reason why a fob ceases working. When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside send coded signals to the receiver inside your car to communicate the actions you would like the key to do. If the contacts are worn out or damaged, pressing the button could not work at all or it might send different messages than what you were hoping for.

A quick fix to this problem is to use a physical key to unlock your car's door or start the engine. You can reset the fob by following the instructions in the owner's manual for your car (check online for specific instructions).

If changing the batteries and reprogramming your key fob don't help you, you may need to replace it or have it repaired. Modern keys must be programmed to match your car's specific Vehicle Identification Number and some errors or wear-and-tear can cause the programming to become corrupted.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chips that are in your car key are an important part of the car key. They send out an electronic signal with a specific frequency when the key is put in the ignition, the device in the car then recognizes the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't start if the device inside the car isn't able to recognize the signal. This is a measure of security designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their vehicles and driving them away.

The chip is not powered by a battery. Therefore, it doesn't require replacement or charging. It will however need to be programmed to the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU This is why it's important to bring your keys to a locksmith.

There are many kinds of transponder chips that are available on the market, with the most popular being Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks come with an aluminum head with an opening to accommodate the glass transponder or ampoule, it is then slid into a carrier (or sleeves) on the side of the key bow (plastic head). Here is an image of a sleeve carrier from an Ford Key. You can take the transponder from a damaged key by using an PVC Ratcheting Pipe Cutter or any other method to cut off the sleeves.
