Lost Keys

All keys must be secured at all times and no one should possess more than one key at one time (with the exception of keys that are broken in locks). Key reports that are lost or stolen must be filled out and filed with University Safety. A police report is required if the theft was believed to be the result of criminal or other criminal activity. The replacement fee for a lost/stolen lock key is $30 per key, and must be paid to the responsible owner of the key.

Broken Keys

It's not uncommon for keys to break after just a few years. If your key has broken in the lock, you'll need to get a new one. If the remainder of the lock key is still in good condition it is possible to repair it.

A paperclip is a great way to grasp the broken piece from both sides and pull it out. If the broken piece isn't trapped too far in the lock, you can use pliers. If the key is broken close to the lock, you may require a device called a "key extractor" with an iron bar with an elongated barb that is like a screw. The bar is placed into the locking mechanism and then twisted to dig the barb into it. This will release the key.

It's simple to replace keys on keyboards with the proper tools. You'll need a key cap (the plastic piece that sits over the switch) as well as a keypad and a key retainer clip. Key caps are made of either metal or plastic posts that are put into the slots on the switch.

Fobs not working

It might seem absurd to imagine that your key fob could require routine maintenance, but it isn't unusual for them to cease working at some time. Sometimes, the issue could be as simple as an unresponsive battery. If you've tried changing your batteries and your fob still doesn't work, it may be time to look at a different solution.

Another reason that can cause the fob to cease working is that the buttons have been worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts send coded messages to the receiver in your car. These messages communicate the action you want the key to perform. If the contacts on your key fob are damaged, you may not be capable of pressing the button, or it may send a different signal than the one you wanted.

You can fix this problem quickly by using a car key to open your doors or start your engine. You can reset the fob following the process in your car's owner's manual (check online to find instructions for your particular model).

If replacing the batteries or reprogramming does not work, it may be required to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys must be programmed to correspond with your vehicle's specific VIN Certain errors or wear-and-tear can cause this programming to become corrupted.

Transponder Chips

The engine won't start when the device in the car doesn’t recognise the signal. This is a security measure that was designed to stop thieves from hot wiring their cars and driving them away.

The chip is not batteries, so it doesn't require charging or replaced. It needs to be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you should make sure you take your keys to an expert locksmith.

Transponder chips come in various varieties and the most popular are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks come with a plastic head with an opening to accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then slid into a carrier (or sleeves) on the outside of the key bow (plastic head). Here is a picture of a sleeve carrier from an Ford Key. You can take the transponder from a broken key using an PVC Ratcheting Pipe Cutter or another method to take out the sleeve.

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