Lost Keys
All keys should be kept in a secure place at all times. no one should own more than one key at a time (with the exception of keys that have broken in locks). Key reports for lost or stolen keys must be filed with University Safety. A police report is required if the theft was deemed to be a result of criminal activities. The cost of replacement for a stolen lock key is $30 per key and must be paid to the responsible holder of the key.
Broken Keys
After a few years of using it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key breaks inside the lock, you will have to replace it. If the remainder of the lock's key is in good shape it is possible to fix it.
A paperclip is a great way to grip the broken piece from both sides and force it out. If it's not encased within the lock, you can also try using the pliers. If it's damaged close to the lock, you may require a tool known as a "key extractor" which is bars with a barb on it like a screw. The bar is inserted into the locking mechanism and then twisted to push the barb into it. This will pull out the key.
It's simple to replace the keys on a keyboard if you have the right tools. You'll require a key cap (the plastic part that goes over the switch) along with a keypad and a key retainer clip. Key caps have small plastic or metal posts that are located on the underside and fit into small slots on the switch. To replace a cap be sure to remove all the internal components and mark their locations so you can return them later. You may have to clean the keyboard first with ruby alcohol.
Fobs Not Working
It may seem impossible that your key fob requires regular maintenance, but they could stop working at any time. Sometimes, the problem can be as simple as an unresponsive battery. If you've changed the batteries and your fob still isn't working, it could be time to look at a different solution.
The buttons may also wear out, which is a common reason why a keypad stops functioning. When you press the button on your fob the contacts send a coded message to the receiver in your car. These messages communicate the action you want the key perform. If the contacts on the fob's key are worn out, you may not be capable of pressing the button, or it could send a different signal than the one you wanted.
It is possible to fix this issue quickly by using a car key to open your doors or start your engine. You can reset the fob with the procedure found in your car's owner's manual (check online for instructions for your particular model).
If changing the batteries or reprogramming doesn't work, it may be necessary to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys must be programmed to correspond with your vehicle's specific Vehicle Identification Number, and certain errors or wear and tear can cause the programming to be corrupted.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chips in your car key are a very vital component of your car key. They send out the signal using a unique frequency when the key is inserted in the ignition. The car's electronic device recognises the code and knows it's you. The engine won't start when the device in the car doesn't recognize the signal. This is a measure of security designed to stop thieves from hot wiring their vehicles and driving them away.
The chip doesn't contain an battery, therefore it does not need to be charged or replaced. It does however need to be programmed into the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU This is why it's important to bring your keys to locksmith.
Transponder chips are available in several varieties, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks have a plastic head with an opening to accommodate the glass transponder or ampoule, it is then put into the carrier (or sleeve) on the back of the bow (plastic head). You can see a photo of one of these sleeve carriers from a Ford key here. You can harvest the transponder from a damaged key by using an PVC ratcheting pipe cutter or a different method to remove the sleeves.
A regular transponder key is more expensive than a metal key because of the chip however, it is less expensive than a fob or smart key. The cost of these keys varies on the make and model of your vehicle.
