Lost Keys
All keys must be kept secure at all at all times. Nobody should keep more than one key at any given time (except for keys that have been damaged in locks). Key Reports of stolen or lost keys must be completed and submitted to University Safety. A police report is required if the loss was determined to be the result of criminal activity. The fee for replacement of keys that are stolen or lost is $30 and must be paid by the responsible holder of the key.
Broken Keys
After several years of usage it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your key is damaged inside the lock, you will have to replace it. If the remainder of the lock key is still in good shape you might be able to fix it.
A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece on both sides, and then push it out. If the broken piece is not stuck too far into the lock, you could try using a pair pliers. If the key is damaged close to the lock, you may need a "key extraction" tool that has a bar that has barbs that resemble the screw. The bar is installed into the locking mechanism and then rotated to dig the barb into it. The bar will then pull out the key.
It's easy to replace keys on keyboards with the proper tools. You'll need a key cap (the plastic part that fits over the switch), a key pad, and a key retainer clip. Key caps are composed of metal or plastic posts that are put into slots on the switch. To replace a key cap take care to take off the internal parts of the key and record their locations so that you can put them back later. You may need to wash the keyboard with rubbing alcohol before moving on.
Fobs not working
It may seem absurd that your key fob needs routine maintenance, however they can stop working at any moment. In some cases it's simple that is caused by dead batteries. If you've changed your batteries, but the fob still not working, you should explore a different solution.
Another reason that can cause fobs to cease functioning is that the buttons are been worn out. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts send coded messages to the receiver in your car which communicates what action you want the key to perform. If the contacts are worn out or damaged, pressing the button could not work properly or it will send different messages than what you intended.
This issue can be fixed quickly by using a car key to open your doors or start your engine. You can reset the fob following the instructions in the owner's manual for your car (check online for specific instructions).
If replacing the batteries and programming your key fob doesn't work then you may have to replace it or have it repaired. Modern keys must be programmed using your car's Vehicle Identification Number. Wear and tear can affect the programming.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chip on your car keys is an vital component of the key. The transponder chips that are in your car key are an essential component of the car key. They send signals that have a specific frequency, each time the key is inserted into the ignition. The device in the vehicle then recognises the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't begin when the device inside the car doesn't recognize the signal. This is intended as an effective security measure to deter thieves from hot wiring vehicles and driving them away.
The chip isn't powered by a battery. Therefore, it does not require replacement or charging. It must however be programmed into the car by an individual who has access to your car's ECU This is the reason why you should take your key to locksmith.
There are various kinds of transponder chips available in the market, with the most well-known ones are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks have the head of a plastic with an opening that can accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then slid into the carrier (or sleeve) on the outside of the key bow (plastic head). The photo below is of one of these carriers from an Ford key here. With the help of a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you can take the sleeve from a broken Ford key.
A standard transponder is more expensive due to the chip than a smart or metal key, however it is less expensive than fob. The price of these keys will depend on the model and make of your vehicle.
