Car keys replacement
There's no way of knowing when you'll lose your keys to your car but it's likely to happen at the most unavoidable times. You may lose your keys at work, in the mall, or even while running the errands. There are solutions to this stressful situation without spending a fortune.
The first option is to contact your dealership to request a new key. While this might be the most expensive, it's also the fastest and most simple. The key is programmed to the specific model and type and is generally less expensive than purchasing a key from a professional locksmith.
Car key design has been more sophisticated in recent decades, making it harder for thieves to break into vehicles. Keys made of metal are now replaced by laser-cut flip keys, transponder chips and smart keys. These keys require special equipment to duplicate, and are a challenge for thieves. These keys, which are more sophisticated, may need to be reprogrammed into your vehicle's system. A professional car locksmith will be able to help you.
If you happen to have a spare key, an auto locksmith professional can duplicate it for you. It's better to purchase a key tracker instead of a spare, to ensure that you don't lose your keys again. The trackers emit a unique signature which you can connect to an app on your smartphone. The phone will be alerted when your keys are in the range.
You can also visit an area store that provides duplicate services for keys to cars. They might not be as fast as a locksmith, however they are likely to be cheaper and have the proper equipment for your vehicle. If you're lucky the key you require is in stock, and in the event that it isn't, they can order it for you.

Transponder Keys
A transponder key (also called chip keys) includes an electronic microchip within the head of the car key. It is an anti-theft security system that has dramatically decreased the number of thefts that occur in vehicles and gives you peace of mind when driving your vehicle.
When you insert a transponder key into the ignition it transmits an electronic signal to the receiver located in your car. The receiver then compared the digital serial number on the chip with the one on the computer in your car. If the numbers match the car will begin and unlock when you turn the ignition key. If the numbers don't match the car won't start and will remain locked.
The plastic head of the key is equipped with an embedded microchip that communicates with a receiver in your car by sending a low-level signal through an antenna that wraps around the ignition cylinder. This is similar to the way cell phones connect with WiFi. The chip in the transponder key has an unique serial number that matches the car's computer to make sure that only a valid key will work in it.
If you have a transponder key, the only way to get the replacement is to visit a car locksmith who has the right equipment to program a brand new one for your vehicle. This is not the same as mechanical copies that can be made by any locksmith, without special tools or software.

A locksmith can duplicate the key for a fraction of cost, and they will avoid the hassle of having to pay for a tow truck. Be sure to select a licensed, reliable locksmith to stay clear of scams. If you're not sure then request references and testimonials from previous customers. It's also a good idea to ask about pricing upfront so there are no unexpected costs once the project is done. In a lot of cases, you can even get a no-cost quote over the phone. This will allow you to determine if the service is worth your money.

They are particularly beneficial for pet owners or business owners who need to allow employees access at specific times. You can also unlock your door remotely according to the basis of a predetermined time. You can even be notified when someone enters or leaves the property.
