Why Delaware City Trusts Us for Key Fob & Transponder Programming
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.
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.
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.
Historic Property Security
Delaware City's 19th-century homes and canal-era buildings feature vintage lock hardware that requires specialized knowledge to repair, rekey, or upgrade without affecting architectural character.
Waterfront Property Access
Marina properties, waterfront homes, and Fort DuPont residences have unique access needs including gate locks, dock security, and weather-resistant hardware.
Tourism Season Security
During peak tourist season, short-term rentals and vacation properties need reliable rekeying and lockout services to manage guest access and turnover.

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Key Fob & Transponder Programming
Are your locksmiths background-verified? expand_more
Yes, every technician on our team undergoes rigorous multi-stage background verification and carries comprehensive professional insurance. We prioritize your security by ensuring our staff are verified experts in residential, commercial, and automotive lock systems.
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.
Do you bring hardware with you or do I need to purchase locks? expand_more
Our mobile units are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, deadbolts, and high-security hardware. While we carry components from industry-leading brands for same-day resolution, we can also source specialized hardware to meet your unique architectural or security requirements.
Can you make keys for push-to-start vehicles? expand_more
Yes, we have the equipment to program smart keys (proximity keys) for most push-to-start vehicles. These keys communicate wirelessly with your car, so programming requires specialized tools we carry in our mobile units.
What areas do you serve? expand_more
Our mobile service units provide professional coverage across New Castle County, Delaware, and the Greater Philadelphia region, including Chester and Delaware counties. Whether you are in Wilmington, Newark, West Chester, or Media, we bring our specialized equipment directly to your location.
Can you clone my existing transponder key? expand_more
For many vehicles, yes. We can copy the chip data from your existing key to a new blank. For high-security vehicles, we may need to program through your car's computer. Either way, we'll have you covered.

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.
