Lost Your Only Chip Key

Without a working transponder key, your car is an expensive paperweight. The dealer wants a premium and your car towed. We program a new key from scratch at your location with specialized mobile equipment.

warning

Only Have One Key (Living Dangerously)

If you lose it, you're in a difficult 'all keys lost' situation. Getting a spare now is simpler and faster—we clone your existing key professionally.

error

Key Fits But Car Won't Start

The key turns, the engine tries, but it won't fire. The transponder chip may have failed. We diagnose whether it's the chip, the immobilizer, or something else entirely.

Dealer Scheduling Doesn't Work for You

Waiting days for a dealer appointment and arranging a tow? We cut and program the same transponder key with our mobile diagnostic lab—and come to you on your schedule instead of theirs.

Spare Key Fits But Won't Start the Engine

Had a copy made at a hardware store and it unlocks the doors but the engine won't turn over? That copy doesn't have a programmed transponder chip. We clone the chip from your original so the spare actually works.

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Key Fob & Transponder Programming

Are your replacement key fobs OEM or aftermarket? expand_more

We offer both options. OEM fobs are identical to what you'd get from the dealership. Aftermarket fobs are high-quality alternatives that provide a similar experience. Both work identically—we'll explain your options when we provide a transparent diagnostic quote.

I lost all my car keys. Can you still help? expand_more

Absolutely. We can create a new key from scratch for most vehicles. We'll verify ownership, program a new transponder or smart key, and have you driving again. This is much more convenient than towing to a dealership.

Do you work on older vehicles without computer chips? expand_more

Absolutely! We cut keys for all vehicles, from classic cars to modern ones. Older vehicles with simple keys are actually our most efficient jobs. We can often have you a new key professionally for vehicles from the 1990s and earlier.

Why should I use a locksmith instead of the dealership? expand_more

We come to you—no towing needed. We're typically significantly more convenient than dealers. And we're available during operating hours, not just during business hours. Our keys are identical quality to dealer keys, programmed with the same professional equipment.

My key fob isn't working. Is it just the battery? expand_more

Often yes! Key fob batteries typically last a few years. We can test and replace the battery on-site professionally. If the fob itself is damaged or needs reprogramming, we can handle that too without a trip to the dealer.

My key turns hard in the ignition. What's wrong? expand_more

This usually indicates a worn ignition cylinder. If ignored, it can leave you stranded when the key stops turning entirely. We can repair or replace your ignition cylinder on-site. Most repairs take about an hour.

Transponder Key Services in Delaware & Pennsylvania

Need a chip key for your car? Skip the dealer wait. Kwikey Locksmith provides mobile transponder key cutting and programming throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia—as a convenient alternative to dealership scheduling. Professional service, at your location.

How Transponder Keys Work

Every time you insert your key and turn the ignition, a chip in the key sends a coded signal to your car's immobilizer system. If the signal doesn't match, the engine won't start. This excellent anti-theft feature also means you need proper programming—not just a key cut. That's what we do.

Don't Get Stranded Without a Transponder Spare

Operating with a single transponder key is risky. If you lose it, you're facing the 'all keys lost' process—programming from scratch takes longer. Get a spare now while cloning is simple and straightforward. We come to you and have it done professionally.
