Key fobs or — as they’re colloquially known — beepers are the electronic pieces attached to most keys used for remotely locking, unlocking, and opening car doors. Modern fobs can even start your car’s engine at the press of a button. Fobs make accessing our cars easy, and losing one is frustrating. Luckily, our auto locksmiths can provide and program replacement fobs.
For added security, transponder keys use a two-part system. They have the traditional key, such as a wafer or slider, and a transponder chip that sends an electronic signal when inserted into the ignition. Cars with this key will not start up unless a transponder chip programmed for the vehicle’s transceiver is inserted. These keys are a luxury, and if lost, can be replaced and reprogrammed by our technicians.
