  1. 3 Different Types of Car Keys and Their Replacement

  2. Most of us had experienced lost car key replacement situations at least once in our lives. Whether it’s a lost key situation, car key replacement case where our transponder stops responding or a broken key situation. Whatever the locked situation you are into, knowing the kind of car key can help you prepare for the situation ahead in letting you understand the cost of car key replacements and the right kind of locksmith to call in for your car lock repair, letting you handle your situation right.

  3. Here are 3 common types of car keys and their replacement methods.

  4. Basic Car Keys The basic car keys are commonly seen in old/ vintage cars. These are usually laser or machine cut keys, their replacement is quite an easy job for a local locksmith. They will simply file and shape a new key easily without a stretch. However, as easy as it is to replace, it can also be stolen easily making car key thefts common in the past.

  5. Remote Car Keys These are the second generation car keys that come with a transponder. A coded message is sent in the form of radio waves signals to lock or unlock the central car locking systems. They generally use CR 44 type batteries for power, which needs to be replaced once every 3-4 years. In case your remote is damaged you may have to send the entire set to your car dealer for reprogramming and replacement, which can be quite expensive comparatively. So, take care to keep your remote car keys safe to avoid extra costs.

  6. Smart car keys This is like the Gen Z of the present time. Almost all the latest vehicles come with a smart key today making keyless access to new cars. The key is easily detected by car sensors right when it is around and immediate data transmission unlocks the car doors without click or press of buttons. Smart car keys are the currently safest and best option in the market. It’s almost impossible to hack or replace these keys except for a skilled locksmith with special reprogramming equipment trained to reprogram the key.

  7. Normally, a car key rarely needs a replacement unless it's lost or broken. However, if you are caught off-guard in a replacement situation, it's best to call in professional locksmiths in Canberra who are trained to replace and reprogram car keys.
