Lost Keys
All keys must be kept secure at all times. No one can keep more than one key at a time (except for keys that have been damaged in locks). Key reports that are missing or stolen must be submitted to University Safety. If the loss is thought to be the result of criminal crime, a police report must also be filed. The replacement fee for a lost/stolen lock key is $30 per key. The fee must be paid to the responsible holder of the key.
Broken Keys
It's not unusual for keys to break after just a few years. If your key has broken in the lock, you'll need to get a new one. However, if the rest the key is still in good shape you may be able to repair it.
A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece on both sides, and then push it out. If the broken piece isn't stuck too far into the lock, you can try using pliers. If the key is broken very close to the lock, you may require an "key extraction" tool that has an elongated bar with barbs that resemble a screw. The bar is placed 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 when you have the appropriate tools. You'll need the key cap (the plastic part that goes over the switch), a key pad, and a key retainer clip. Key caps are made of either metal or plastic posts that are put into the slots of the switch. To replace a cap take care to remove all internal parts and mark their locations to be able to return them later. It is possible to clean the keyboard first with ruby alcohol.
Fobs Not Working
It may seem absurd that your key fob needs regular maintenance, but they could stop working at any time. In some instances, the problem is simple like dead batteries. If you've changed the batteries and your fob still does not work, it might be the right time to try a different option.
Another reason that can cause fobs to stop working is that the buttons have been worn out. When you press a button on your fob the contacts inside send signals to the receiver in your car that communicate what actions you want the key to perform. If these contacts are worn out, pressing the button may not work at all or it may send different messages than you intended.
A quick fix to this problem is to use a physical key to unlock your car doors or start the engine. You can reset the fob by following instructions in the owner's guidebook of your vehicle (check online for specific instructions).
If replacing the batteries or reprogramming fails to work, it may be necessary to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys need to be programmed using your car's Vehicle Identification Number. Incorrect programming or wear and tear can affect the program.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chip inside your car keys is an vital component of the key. The transponder chips that are in your car key are a very crucial component of your car key. They send an electronic signal with a specific frequency, each time the key is put in the ignition. The device inside the vehicle then recognises the code in order to recognize it's you. The engine won't begin to run if the device inside the car doesn’t recognise the signal. This is a measure of security designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their cars and driving them away.
The chip is not powered by a battery, therefore it doesn't require charging or replacement. It must be programmed by a person who has access to the ECU of your car. This is why you should send your keys to an expert locksmith.
There are several types of transponder chips that are available on the market, with the most popular being Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks have a plastic head with an opening to accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then placed in a carrier (or sleeve) to the side of the key bow (plastic head). Here is a picture of a sleeve holder from an Ford Key. You can get the transponder from a damaged key by using a PVC ratcheting pipe cutter or other method to remove the sleeve.
A regular transponder can be more expensive because of the chip a smart or metal key, however it is less expensive than fob. The cost of these key depends on your vehicle's make and model.
