Car owners may need to replace their key fob when it’s lost or broken for security reasons. A new key fob replacement will ensure no one can access the car without authorization if someone finds their lost key.
Key fobs shouldn’t be exposed to water. The key may rust, and circuit board parts may experience electrical shorts that may ultimately damage the key. A key fob can also malfunction if dropped. Vehicle owners will need to contact expert auto locksmiths for help if this happens.
Extreme temperatures also affect key fob batteries by draining the charge. While some may require a battery replacement, other key fobs may require a licensed locksmith’s attention. KwikPick Lock and Safe experts are always a call away to help diagnose the issue and advise appropriately.
Types of Key Fobs
Remote Fobs:
This keyless entry design uses buttons to run commands and communicate with a car lock system.
Standard remote key fob - typically has two buttons: lock and unlock. But new designs on the market also feature panic and liftgate buttons.
Remote head key - the metallic part of the key is usually attached to the remote and can easily be spotted.
Smart remote - adopts the latest technology and can detect the car owner’s proximity to the vehicle. Most owners prefer this type of remote key fob since an additional metal key is hidden inside the remote that can be used when the battery unexpectedly dies.
