Lost Keys

All keys should be kept safe at all time. There is no way to have more than one at any given time (except for keys that have been damaged in locks). Lost/Stolen Key Reports are required to be completed and submitted to University Safety. A police report is required if the theft was determined to be the result of criminal crime. The cost of replacement for a lost/stolen lock seat key fob is $30 per key, and must be paid to the responsible holder of the key.

Broken Keys

It's not unusual for keys to break after a few years. 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 condition, you might be able to fix it.

A paperclip can be used to grab the broken piece from both sides and pull it out. If it's not too far within the lock, you can also try using a pair of pliers. If the key is damaged close to the lock, you might require a "key extraction" tool with a bar that has the same barb as the screw. The bar can be inserted into the lock, and by twisting it you can dig the barb into the key to remove it.

If you have the appropriate tools, it's not difficult to replace keys on keyboards. 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 inserted into the slots of the switch. To replace a key cap take care to remove the internal components of the key, and then note the location of them so you can put them back later. You may need to clean the keyboard first by the help of rubbing alcohol.

Fobs Not Working

It might seem a bit absurd to think that your key fob may require regular maintenance but it isn't unusual to see them stop functioning at some moment. In some cases, the problem is simple that is caused by dead batteries. If you've changed your batteries but your fob is still not working, you need to explore a different solution.

The buttons may also wear out, which is another common reason why a fob stops functioning. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts transmit coded messages to the receiver in your car which communicates what action you would like the key to perform. If the contacts on your key fob are worn out and you are not in a position to press the button or send a different message from what you expected.

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

If replacing the batteries or programming doesn't work, it may be necessary to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys must be programmed with your vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number. Errors or wear and tear could cause damage to this program.

Transponder Chips

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

The chip isn't powered by a battery, therefore it doesn't require replacement or charging. It has to be programmed by a person who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you should make sure you take your keys to an expert locksmith.

Transponder chips are available in a variety of varieties and the most popular are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks have a plastic head with an opening to accommodate the glass transponder or ampoule, it is then put into a carrier (or sleeves) on the side of the key bow (plastic head). There is a picture of one of these sleeve carriers from a Ford key here. You can take the transponder from a broken key using an PVC pipe cutter that ratchets or a different method to remove the sleeve.

A transponder-type key is more expensive than a traditional metal key due to the chip, however, it is cheaper than a fob or smart key. The cost of these key is dependent on the make and model.
