Lost Keys

All keys must be secured at all times. There is no way to keep more than one key at any given time (except for keys that are broken in locks). Completed reports on stolen or lost keys must be submitted to University Safety. If the loss is deemed as a result of criminal activity, a police report must also be filed. The replacement fee for a key that was stolen or lost is $30 per key and has to be paid to the responsible owner of the key.

Broken Keys

It's not uncommon for keys to break after a few years. If your keys break in the lock, you'll have to purchase a new one. If the remainder of the lock key is still in good shape it could be possible to repair it.

A paperclip is a great way to hold the broken piece on both sides and leverage it out. If it's not stuck inside the lock, you can also try using a pair of pliers. If the key is broken very close to lock, you might require a "key extraction" tool that has an elongated bar with the same barb as the screw. The bar can be put into the lock and by twisting it, you can pierce the barb into the seat key fob replacement to release it.

If you have the right tools, it's difficult to replace the key on a keyboard. You'll need 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 made of either metal or plastic posts which are inserted into the slots of the switch. To replace a cap, take care to remove all internal parts and mark their locations to allow them to be returned later. You may have to clean the keyboard with rubbing alcohol before moving on.

Fobs not working

It might seem absurd to think that your device could require routine maintenance, but it's not unusual for them to stop functioning at some time. Sometimes, the issue can be as simple as an inoperative battery. If you have changed your batteries but your fob is still not working, it's time to try another solution.

The buttons also wear out, which is a common reason why a fob stops working. When you press a button on your fob, the contacts inside send coded signals to the receiver inside your vehicle to indicate what actions you would like the key to complete. If these contacts are worn out, pressing the button may not work properly or it will send different messages than you were hoping for.

A quick fix to this issue is to use a physical key in order 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 replacing the batteries and reprogramming the key fob aren't helping it is possible to replace it or have it repaired. Modern keys have to be programmed using your car's Vehicle Identification Number. The wear and tear can affect the programming.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chips on your car key are a very important component of the car key. They transmit an electronic signal with a specific frequency when the key is put in the ignition, the car's electronic device recognizes the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't begin to run in the event that the device inside the car doesn’t recognise the signal. This is a security feature designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their cars and stealing them.

The chip doesn't contain batteries, so it doesn't require charging or replaced. It needs to be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you should bring your keys to a professional locksmith.

There are several types of transponder chips on the market, with the most popular being Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks are made of an aluminum head with an opening to accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then slid into the carrier (or sleeve) on the side of the key bow (plastic head). Here is a photo of a sleeve carrying device from a Ford Key. With a PVC pipe cutter, or another method, you can take the sleeve from a damaged Ford key.

A regular transponder key is more expensive than a metal key due to the chip, but is less expensive than a fob, or smart key. The cost of these keys varies on the model and make of your vehicle.
