Your Local Authority for Key Fob & Transponder Programming in Middletown
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.
New Construction Security
Middletown's rapid growth means many new homes with builder-grade locks that should be upgraded. New homeowners also need to ensure previous workers don't have access.
Commuter-Friendly Service
Many Middletown residents commute to Wilmington, Philadelphia, or Delaware offices. We offer convenient scheduling and can work around commuter schedules.
New Construction Rekeying
With rapid residential growth, new homeowners in Middletown should rekey from builder keys immediately. We handle bulk rekeying for new developments and custom home builds.

"Kwikey designed a three-tier master key system for our office complex. Building manager has grand master, department heads have sub-masters, employees have individual keys. Perfectly organized."
"Deadbolt wouldn't latch — the bolt was extending but missing the strike plate. Turned out the door had shifted slightly. Kwikey realigned the strike plate and adjusted the bolt throw. Lock works perfectly now. Quick fix that saved us from a costly door replacement."
"Ignition was sticking on my F-150 for months. Finally called Kwikey before I got completely stranded. Fixed it in my driveway professionally. Truck starts like new now. Should have called sooner!"
Everything You Need to Know About Key Fob & Transponder Programming
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.
Should I get a spare car key made? expand_more
Definitely. Getting a spare now is a highly recommended safety measure compared to what you'll experience during an emergency lockout. Plus, programming a spare is simpler and more straightforward when you have a working key to reference.
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.
Can you cut a car key using the VIN number? expand_more
Yes, our advanced mobile units can cut new car keys directly from the VIN number once ownership is verified. This specialized service is essential when all keys are lost and ensures a perfect factory-standard fit for your vehicle.
What information do you need when I call? expand_more
For the most efficient service, have ready: your location (address or cross streets), type of lockout (home, car, business), vehicle year/make/model if automotive, and any details about your lock type if you know them. This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.
Is my problem the ignition or the starter? expand_more
If your key turns but nothing happens, it's likely the starter. If the key won't turn or gets stuck, it's the ignition cylinder. We diagnose this on-site and only fix what's actually broken. No guesswork.

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.
