Common questions

Locksmith Service Questions

Why does a copied metal key not start the car?

The blade may turn the ignition, but the immobilizer also requires the correct programmed transponder.

Can you add a spare key?

Many supported vehicles allow spare-key addition. Call with the vehicle details and existing key count.

Can you program a key I already bought?

Sometimes, but the key must be correct, compatible and unused where required. Call before relying on a customer-supplied key.
