Lost Keys
All keys must be secure at all times, and no one may possess more than one key at one time (with the exception of keys damaged in locks). Key reports that are lost or stolen are required to be completed and submitted to University Safety. If the loss is believed to be due to criminal activities, a police report must be filed. The cost for replacement of keys that have been stolen or lost is $30 and must be paid by the responsible person who holds the key.
Broken Keys
After a couple of years of use, it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your keys break in the lock, you'll need to purchase a new one. If the remainder of the lock's key is in good condition it could be possible to repair it.
A paperclip works well to hold the broken piece from both sides and leverage it out. If the broken piece is not stuck too far inside the lock, try using pliers. If it's broken very close to the lock, you might require a tool known as a "key extractor" with bars with a barb on it similar to a screw. The bar can be installed into the lock and by twisting it, can dig the barb into the key to extract it.
If you have the appropriate tools, it's not difficult to replace the key on a keyboard. You'll require the key cap (the plastic piece that sits over the switch) along with a keypad and a key-retention clip. Key caps are composed of metal or plastic posts which are inserted into the slots of the switch. To replace a cap, carefully remove all the internal parts and mark their locations so you can return them later. It is possible to clean the keyboard with rubbing alcohol before proceeding.
Fobs not working
It may seem impossible that your key fob needs regular maintenance, but it's true that they can stop working at any moment. Sometimes, the issue may be as simple as a dead battery. If you've changed the batteries but your fob does not work, it might be an opportunity to try something else.
The buttons may also wear out, which is a common reason why a keypad stops working. When you press the button on your fob the contacts send coded signals to the receiver in your car which communicates what actions you want your key to do. If the contacts on the fob's key are worn out or damaged, you might not be in a position to press the button, or it could send a different signal than the one you wanted.
One solution to this problem is to make use of a physical key to unlock your car's door or start the engine. You can reset the fob by following the procedure in your vehicle's owner's manual (check online for instructions for your particular model).
If replacing the batteries and reprogramming the key fob aren't helping then you may have to have it replaced or repaired. Modern keys must be programmed with your vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number. Errors or wear and tear can affect this program.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chips in your car key are an important component of the car key. They send out an indication with a distinct frequency when the key is inserted in the ignition, the car's device recognizes the code and is aware that it's you. The engine won't start when the device inside the car does not recognize the signal. This is security measure to prevent thieves from hot wiring vehicles and driving them away.
The chip isn't powered by a battery, which means it does not require replacement or charging. It must however be programmed to the car by someone with access to the
car seat key's ECU and that's the reason why you should bring your keys to locksmith.
There are many kinds of transponder chip available on the market, with the most popular being Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks are constructed of plastic, with a slot for the glass ampoule or transponder. It is then placed in a carrier or sleeve on the side (or bow) of the key. Here is a photo 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 with ratcheting or any other method to cut off the sleeves.
A transponder-type key is more expensive than a metal key due to the chip, but less expensive than a fob or a smart key. The cost of these key will depend on the vehicle's make and model.
