Car Key Replacement & Duplication

Jacksonville Car Key Duplication and Car Key Replacement

There was a time not too many years ago when, if you needed a spare key for your car, you could zip down to the local hardware store, big box store — and even the local gas station — and they could duplicate a key for you. Those days have faded into antiquity.

Although hardware stores can still duplicate older car keys, their car key duplication capabilities are limited. Today, most new cars require special key cutting equipment and if you need a key generated by code you have two choices: The dealer where you bought the car and a local Jacksonville car locksmith who has the proper key cutting equipment with the knowledge to expertly affect a car key replacement for today’s hi-tech cars.

Car Key Duplication for All Makes and Models

No matter your make and model, and no matter the type of car key replacement you need, the experts at Pop-A-Lock Jacksonville are ready to assist. We specialize in key cutting and programming the following:

• Transponder Keys: These keys have a chip embedded in them that emits a signal to the car’s ignition system. The car’s system recognizes the signal and allows the engine to start. Transponder keys need to be programmed to match the car’s ignition system.
• Key Fobs: Key fobs are remote controls used to lock/unlock car doors, open the trunk, and sometimes even start the engine remotely. They often have integrated transponder chips for security purposes and need to be programmed to sync with the car’s security system.
• Smart Keys: Also known as proximity keys or keyless entry remotes, smart keys allow drivers to unlock and start their cars without physically inserting the key into the ignition. These keys communicate with the car’s computer system via radio frequency and typically require programming to sync with the car.
• Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Keys: These are similar to key fobs but may not have the ability to start the car remotely. They are primarily used for locking and unlocking the car doors and sometimes the trunk.

Car Key Replacement for Lost Keys

It is the same issue if you have to replace missing or lost car keys. Your choices are the car dealer or a qualified auto locksmith in Jacksonville whose expertise goes beyond simple key duplication and allows them to replace lost car keys no matter what kind of key your car needs.

You might not be aware, but if you have lost your car keys and call a dealer, the dealer is going to send a tow truck out to tow your car to their shop. So you will have a very expensive, usually greater than $150 towing fee to pay — depending on the area — in addition to the charge to make your car keys. Even worse, the dealer may not be able to get to your car for several days. So, you can either borrow someone else’s car, rent another vehicle, or walk!
