Lost Keys
All keys must be kept secure at all the time. Nobody should keep more than one key at any given time (except for keys that have broken in locks). Key reports that are lost or stolen must be completed and filed with University Safety. If the loss is thought as a result of criminal activities, a police report must also be filed. The cost of replacing keys stolen or lost is $30 per key and must be paid by the responsible owner of the key.
Broken Keys
After a few years of using it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key is damaged inside the lock, you'll need to replace it. But if the rest of the key is still in good condition you may be able to repair it.
A paperclip is a great way to grasp the broken piece from both sides and push it out. If it's not too far within the lock, you could also try using an plier. If it's broken very close to the lock, you may require a tool known as a "key extractor" which is a bar with an elongated barb that is similar to screws. The bar is installed into the locking mechanism and then rotated to dig the barb into it. The bar will then pull out the key.
It's simple to replace a key on a keyboard with the proper tools. You'll need an accessory cap for the key (the plastic part that fits over the switch), a key pad and a key retention clip.

To replace a key cap take care to remove the internal components of the key, and then note their locations so that you can replace them later. You may need to clean the keyboard first by ruby alcohol.
Fobs Not Working
It might seem absurd to think that your key device might require regular maintenance, but it isn't unusual to see them stop working at some point. Sometimes, the issue could be as simple as the battery being dead. If you've changed your batteries and your fob still isn't working, it could be time to try something else.
seat car key reprogramming that causes a fob to stop working is that the buttons are worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside send coded signals to the receiver in your car that communicate what actions you want the key to do. If the contacts are damaged, pressing the button may not work at all or it will send different messages than what you wanted to.
A possible solution for this problem is to use a physical key in order to unlock your car's doors and start the engine. You can reset your fob by following instructions in the owner's manual for your car (check online for specific instructions).
If changing the batteries and programming your key fob doesn't work it is possible to have it replaced or repaired. Modern keys need to be programmed with your vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number. Wear and tear can cause a problem with the program.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chip that is in your car keys is a very vital component of the key. The transponder chips inside your car key are a very important part of the car key. They transmit signals that have an unique frequency when the key is put in the ignition. The device in the vehicle will then recognize the code to know it's you. The engine won't start in the event that the device inside the car doesn't recognize the signal. This is a security feature designed to stop thieves from hot wiring their cars and stealing them.
The chip isn't powered by a battery, so it does not require replacement or charging. It must be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you should send your keys to an expert locksmith.
Transponder chips come in various varieties and the most popular are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks are made of plastic and have a slot for the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then slid in a carrier or sleeve on the side (or bow) of the key. Here is a photo of one of these sleeve holders from a Ford key here. You can take the transponder from a broken key by using a PVC Ratcheting Pipe Cutter or a different method to remove the sleeves.
