A transponder key is a car key with a chip inside. When you turn it in the ignition, the chip sends a signal to your car's computer. If the signal isn't right, the car won't start. We carry transponder blanks and programming tools to cut and code these keys right from our vans. No towing. No dealership delays.
If your key is stuck, trying to yank it out can break it off inside. That makes the job harder and more expensive. Call us instead. We use precision extraction tools to remove stuck keys cleanly. We can also inspect the cylinder and rekey it on the spot if needed.
Most key fobs open with a small tool or coin. Inside, you'll find a button cell battery like a CR2032. Swap it out, snap the cover back on, and test it. If it still doesn't work, the internal chip may be damaged. We can test the signal and replace or reprogram the fob if needed.
Just last month, we got a call from a customer near Landmark. They had just moved in and didn't know who had copies of the keys. We arrived that evening, rekeyed five locks, matched them all to a single key, and even installed a keyless entry for the back door.
Another day, we got a call from a restaurant owner on King Street. The staff couldn't open the side delivery door. Turns out, the commercial lock had rusted from inside. We replaced it with a new stainless steel commercial-grade model and gave the manager a spare set of keys by the end of the lunch shift.
It's not just about locks. It's about speed, honesty, and showing up when people need you. That's what we do.
