Key Types for Automotive

The basic car keys which became common until the mid-to late-1990s used only a unique cut for security without any additional features. The metal part of the key known as the shank features cuts and grooves similar to those found on a house key.

Transponder Keys

Key manufacturers started embedding transponder chips in the plastic head of keys following the mid- to late-1990s. A receiver in the ignition system receives a signal from the chip. The car ignition system will lock if the immobilizer detects an incorrect signal which indicates the wrong key is used.

Smart Keys For Automotive

Smart keys differ from conventional keys because they function as electronic devices rather than metal keys. These fobs require placement in the dashboard or remain in your pocket or purse in advanced systems. The user controls the car’s ignition system by pressing a single button.

The primary security feature of a smart key comes from its use of rolling security codes. The system generates random codes to protect against code grabber devices that thieves might use to hack into the system. The car computer system recognizes the smart key’s emitted code and checks it before the engine starts.

Lazer-Cut Keys

The shank of a lazer-cut key stands out from a basic key because of its thicker design and reduced number of grooves. Manufacturers call laser-cut keys sidewinder keys because they feature a unique winding pattern cut into the shank. Locksmiths rarely possess the expensive machines required to cut these keys which cost significantly more than standard key-cutting machines.

At Mineral Wells Locksmith Services we maintain that our technicians receive ongoing training and stay current with the latest machinery developments including the newest key cutting machines.
