Lost Keys
All keys should be kept safe at all the time. There is no way to have more than one at a time (except for keys that are broken in locks). Key reports that are missing or stolen must be submitted to University Safety. If the loss is deemed as a result of criminal activity, a police report must also be filed. The fee for replacement of keys that are stolen or lost is $30 and must be paid by the responsible holder of the key.
Broken Keys
After several years of usage, it's not uncommon for keys to break. If the key breaks inside the lock, you'll need to replace it. If the rest of the lock's key is in good shape, you may be able fix it.
A paperclip is a great way to grasp the broken piece from both sides and push it out. If it's not stuck inside the lock, you can also try two pliers. If the key is damaged close to the lock, you might need an "key extraction" tool with an iron bar that has the same barb as the screw. The bar can be inserted into the lock, and then by twisting it, you can push the barb into the key to pull it out.
It's easy to replace the keys on a keyboard if you have the right tools. You'll need a key cap (the plastic part that goes over the switch), a key pad and a key-retention clip. The key cap is comprised of either metal or plastic posts that are placed into slots on the switch. To replace a key cap take care to remove the internal parts of the key, and then note their locations so that you can replace them later. It is possible to clean the keyboard first by rubbing alcohol.
Fobs not working
It may seem impossible that your key fob needs routine maintenance, but they could stop working at any time. In some cases it's an easy one like dead batteries. If you've changed the batteries, but your fob still not working, you need to explore a different solution.
Another reason that can cause a fob to stop working is that the buttons are been worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts send coded messages to the receiver in your car which communicates what action you want the key to perform. If the contacts on the fob's key are worn out and you are not in a position to press the button or send a different signal than what you expected.
A possible quick fix for this issue is to use a physical key to unlock your car's doors and start the engine. You can reset the fob by following instructions in the owner's guidebook of your car (check online for specific instructions).
If replacing the batteries or reprogramming doesn't work, it may be required to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys must be programmed to match your vehicle's specific VIN and certain mistakes or wear-and-tear can cause this programming to be corrupted.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chips that are in your car key are a very important part of the car key. They transmit the signal using a unique frequency when the key is placed in the ignition, the vehicle's device recognizes the code and is aware that it's you. The engine won't start in the event that the device inside the car isn't able to recognize the signal. This is a security measure designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their vehicles and driving them away.
The chip doesn't have an battery, therefore it does not require charging or replaced. It does however need to be programmed to the car by a person who has access to your car's ECU and that's why it is important to take your key to a locksmith.
There are several types of transponder chips that are available on the market, the most well-known ones are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks are made of plastic with a slot for the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then placed in a sleeve or a carrier on the side (or bow) of the key. There is a picture of one of these sleeve holders from the back of a Ford key here. You can extract the transponder from a damaged key using the PVC Ratcheting Pipe Cutter or another method to take out the sleeve.
A regular transponder can be more expensive due to the chip than a smart or metal key, but is less expensive than a fob. The cost of these key is dependent on the make and model.
