Lost Keys

All keys must be kept secure at all the time. No one can keep more than one key at a time (except for keys that are broken in locks). Completed Lost/Stolen key reports must be filed with University Safety. A police report is required if the loss was believed to be the result of criminal activities. The replacement cost for a lost/stolen lock key is $30 per key and must be paid to the responsible owner of the key.

Broken Keys

After several years of usage, it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your key is damaged in the lock, you'll have to purchase a new one. If the rest of the key is still in good condition it could be possible to repair it.

A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece from both sides and pull it out. If it's not encased inside the lock, you can also try using a pair of pliers. If the key is broken close to the lock, you might require a tool called a "key extractor" that comes with an iron bar with an elongated barb that is similar to a screw. The bar is placed into the locking mechanism and then twisted to dig the barb into it. This will release the key.

Fobs not working

It may seem far-fetched to think that your key device might require regular maintenance, but it isn't unusual for them to stop working at some moment. Sometimes, the issue may be as simple as an unresponsive battery. If you've replaced your batteries and your fob still isn't working, it might be time to try something else.

Another common reason for fobs to stop working is because the buttons have worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts send coded signals to the receiver in your car, which communicates the action you want the key seat do. If the contacts are damaged, pressing the button may not work properly or it may send different messages than what you intended.

You can solve this issue quickly by using a physical car key to unlock your doors or start your engine. You can reset the fob by following the instructions in the owner's handbook of your vehicle (check online for specific instructions).

If replacing the batteries and reprogramming your key fob doesn't work then you may have to replace it or have it repaired. Modern keys need to be programmed to match your vehicle's specific VIN Certain errors or wear and tear could cause the programming to be corrupted.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chip inside your car keys is a very vital component of the key. They send out an electronic signal with a specific frequency when the key is inserted in the ignition. The car's device recognises the code and knows it's you. The engine won't start when the device inside the car doesn't recognize the signal. This is a security measure that was designed to stop thieves from hot wiring their vehicles and driving them away.

The chip does not contain an battery, therefore it does not require charging or replaced. However, it must be programmed to the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU, which is why it is important to take your key to a locksmith.

Transponder chips are available in various varieties, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks have heads made of plastic that have a slot that accommodates the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then slid into a carrier (or sleeve) on the back of the bow (plastic head). Here is a photo of one of these sleeve-carriers from a Ford key here. By using a PVC pipe cutter, or another method, you are able to remove the sleeve from a broken Ford key.

A standard transponder key is more expensive than a metal key because of the chip however, it is cheaper than a fob, or smart key. The cost of these keys depends on your vehicle's make and model.
