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.

"Had Schlage smart locks installed on both doors. The technician helped us set up the app, create codes for the kids, and even showed us how to check the access log. More thorough than I expected!"

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.
