What is Car Key Duplication?
Car key duplication in Calgary is a specialized process in which we excel.
It involves creating a replica of your lost, broken or just an extra key, ensuring the new key functions like the original and has the same shape, size, and function.
Furthermore, there are several reasons why you would want a duplicate car key.
You may need an emergency backup when the key gets lost or breaks.
It also offers convenience when you share your key with others and serves as security in case the original one gets stolen.
The car key duplication process can differ depending on the key type.
An older key can sometimes be duplicated using a key-cutting machine, while modern keys have electronic chips and require more complex programming.
Types of Car Key Duplications We Do
At B&W Automotive Locksmith Calgary, we provide a specialized car key-cutting service in Calgary and its surroundings that include:
Standard Car Keys
The standard car key is the most traditional type.
It often has a simple metal blade with a plastic head. You find these keys on your older vehicles.
Transponder Keys
We also provide transponder key duplication in Calgary.
The key comprises a small chip communicating with your car’s immobilizer system.
The added security will prevent the vehicle from starting.
We must program the car key to match the specific vehicle code to duplicate the key and make a new one.
Fobs & Remote Keys
Fobs and remote keys combine a traditional key blade with a remote control. You can use them to lock and unlock your car; sometimes, they can start your vehicle from a distance.
Keyless Entry Fobs
We also provide keyless entry car key duplication.
A keyless fob eliminates the need to insert a key into the ignition.
Instead, you press a button on the fob to lock or unlock doors, and it also starts the engine.
These keys work with RFID (frequency indication technology).
No matter the type of car key you have, we have the expertise to duplicate or replace car keys in Calgary accurately. If you need clarification on your key type, you can contact us for help.
Why You Need a Duplicate Car Key
Having a duplicate key for your vehicle can provide several benefits:
Emergency Backup
If you lose your original key or it becomes damaged, having a duplicate key is your emergency backup, saving you from the inconvenience and expense of making a new one. Furthermore, it can help you if you are locked out of your car as you can have your spare key brought to you.
Convenience
If you share your vehicle with family or friends, having a duplicate key offers convenience, eliminating the need to pass your original key back and forth.
The same applies if you park your car in several locations, as a spare key can help prevent retrieving the original key at different spots.
Added Security
If you have a stolen or damaged key, having a spare key is your emergency backup.
In case your key is stolen or damaged, you can use the spare one when the original is broken and have it replaced or repaired.
Having a spare car key in Calgary offers convenience and peace of mind in an emergency.
