Transponder Key Programming in Palos Hills, IL

Years ago when it came to a locksmith making keys things were very simple. All a locksmith had to have on their service vehicle were some key blanks, a key cutting machine, and a buffing wheel. Rest assured that is no longer the case. It takes a large sized service vehicle like those our locksmith techs drive to accommodate all of the auto key troubleshooting, duplicating and diagnostic gear we now carry. That is the only way we can duplicate and resolve problems with today’s many different types of automobile keys.

One of the most challenging types of keys that our locksmiths at Palos Hills Locksmith work on is transponder keys. For those of you that are not familiar with these types of keys, they are pretty easy to identify. They are keys that have several buttons on the plastic round or square end of them or they are a stand-alone device with these same types of buttons. Transponder keys were designed to take auto lock security and ease of vehicle entry to a whole new level.

What makes these keys so difficult to work on is they have to be reprogrammed from time to time when they fail or are made from scratch. This is because they actually have a tiny printed circuit board inside them. It controls such functions as locking/unlocking the doors, turning the vehicle alarm system on/off and allowing the vehicle to start when the right ignition protocols have been verified. Our locksmiths just happen to be experts when it comes to reprogramming transponder keys.

Our technical expertise when it comes to transponder key services is one of the things that set us apart from our locksmith competition in the Palos Hills area.
