Lost Keys

All keys must be safe at all times and no one may possess more than one key at one time (with the exception of keys damaged in locks). Completed reports on stolen or lost keys must be filed with University Safety. A police report is required if the theft was determined to be the result of criminal activity. The cost for replacing keys stolen or lost is $30 per key and must be paid by the responsible key holder.


Broken Keys

After several years of usage it's not unusual for keys to break. If your keys break in the lock, you'll have to replace it. However, if the rest the key is in good shape you may be able to fix it.

A paperclip is a great way to hold the broken piece from both sides and force it out. If the broken piece is not trapped too far in the lock, try using pliers. If the key is broken close to the lock, you might need a "key extraction" tool with an elongated bar with the same barb as the screw. The bar can be put into the lock and by twisting it, can pierce the barb into the key to remove it.

If you have the right tools, it's difficult to replace the keyboard key. You'll require the key cap (the part of the plastic that covers the switch) Keypad, key cap and key retainer clip. The key cap has little plastic or metal posts on its underside that fit into small slots on the switch. To replace a cap on a key, carefully take off the internal parts of the key. Note the location of them so you can put them back later. It is possible to clean the keyboard with rubbing alcohol prior to proceeding.

Fobs Not Working

It may seem absurd that your key fob requires regular maintenance, but it's true that they can cease to function at any time. In The Keylab is an easy one such as dead batteries. If you have changed your batteries but your fob is still not working, you need to look for a different solution.

The buttons also wear out, which is another common reason why a keypad stops working. When you press a button on your fob the contacts inside send signals to the receiver inside your vehicle to indicate what actions you would like the key to perform. If the contacts are damaged, pressing the button may not work properly or it may send different messages than what you were hoping for.

This issue can be fixed quickly by using a car key to unlock your doors or start your engine. You can reset the fob by following the instructions in your car's owner's manual (check online for instructions for your particular model).

If changing the batteries or reprogramming fails to work, it may be required to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys have to be programmed using your car's Vehicle Identification Number. The wear and tear can corrupt this programming.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chips in your car key are an crucial component of your car key. They transmit an electronic signal with a specific frequency when the key is placed in the ignition. The car's electronic device recognizes the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't begin when the device inside the car isn't able to recognize the signal. This is intended as a security measure to stop thieves from hot wiring cars and stealing them.

The chip is not a battery so does not require charging or replaced. However, it must be programmed into the car by a person who has access to the car's ECU and that's why it is important to bring your keys to locksmith.

Transponder chips are available in various varieties that are widely used, but the most commonly used are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks are made of the head of a plastic with an opening that can accommodate the glass transponder or ampoule, it is then inserted into a carrier (or sleeves) to the side of the key bow (plastic head). The photo below is of one of these sleeve carriers from a Ford key here. With the help of a PVC pipe cutter, or another method, you are able to remove the sleeve off of a damaged Ford key.

A regular transponder is more expensive due to the chip than an electronic or smart key, however it is less expensive than a fob. The price of these keys will depend on the model and make of your vehicle.
