Frequently Asked Questions
Automotive
Yes, our locksmiths can make car keys for all makes and models of vehicles, including high security vehicles. Some of the keys are dealer only item so if you have a Saab, Volvo, or Porsche please call ahead to make sure we can program it. For BMW and Mercedes we can make keys for 2014 and older models with ease.Most of the car keys have a small chip in it, called a transponder. For these type of keys it is not just about cutting the key, they also have to be programmed to the car’s computer in order for your car to start. If your key has a plastic head more than likely it’s a transponder key. If you are not sure if you have this type of key just call us with your vehicle year, make, and model and we can let you know right over the phone.
Car keys vary greatly in price because each vehicle key is different to program and cut. Most car keys with chip run from $65-$295 cut and programmed. Cost of you car key will depend on following:
- Is it a key with or without a security chip that requires programming.
- Do you have push to start in your car? (proximity keys are usually more)
- Do you have a working car key or not? (if you have no key it will cost a little more)
We always quote a full price before starting work, so you can decide if you want to get it today or hold off on it for a bit.
If you have your own remote you bought online or your current remote somehow lost it programming, our locksmiths can program the remote for you.
We also carry key fobs and remotes for all types of cars and have the equipment to program it. If you are looking to get a new car key, fob, or remote programmed please make sure to have any others you already have with you. All keys or fobs you want to operate your car must be programmed together or the older ones won’t work.
Residential
We can make house keys for any type of lock you may have on your door. Even if you loose your only copy of the key, we can still make you a new key. First we would need to pick the lock open and then take the lock apart so we can re-key it and make you a new key.The new key we make will be different from the old one you lost so even if someone finds it they can’t use it to unlock your door. If you have other locks that used the same key they also must be re-keyed in order for them work with the new key.
It really depends on the type of lock you have on your door, home keys run between $2.50-7 with most of them falling in the lower range.
