What we cut, program, and rebuild.

Automotive locksmithing has changed a lot in the last decade. Most modern keys carry a transponder chip; push-to-start fobs need vehicle-side programming; and high-security keys (Mercedes, BMW, some Audi) need their own tooling. We work on most of it — but call first so we can confirm.

Transponder keys

Standard chipped keys for most cars made after the mid-90s. We cut the blade and program the transponder to your specific vehicle on-site. Bring proof of ownership (title or registration) — it's required.

Push-to-start & smart fobs

Most modern smart fobs (proximity, push-button start, keyless ignition) can be programmed on-site as long as you have at least one working fob OR proof of ownership and a few minutes for the vehicle to do its programming dance. Call with your year/make/model so we can confirm.

Ignition repair

Worn ignition cylinders, keys that won't turn, keys that work intermittently. Most ignition issues are rebuildable — we don't need to replace the whole assembly unless it's truly destroyed.

Spare key cutting

Cheaper to have a spare than to need one and not have one. We cut spares for most makes and models on-site. Bring the working key plus your title or registration.

What to bring

Title, registration, or a recent insurance document — any of these works as proof of ownership. A current driver's license. If you have a working key, bring it. If the key is locked inside the car, we'll need to handle the lockout first.

Older vs newer vehicle support

Vehicles from roughly 1995 onward are usually straightforward. Cars older than that may need a simple non-transponder blank, which is even easier. The trickiest cases are luxury European cars from the late 2010s and a handful of EVs — we'll be honest if your vehicle falls outside what we can do on-site.

Locked myself out of the office on a Sunday morning at Sierra Point. They picked up, were straightforward about timing, and got me back in without damaging the door. Will keep them on speed dial.

We had them set up a master key system across two floors of our office on the Genentech corridor. Thorough, professional, and the documentation they left us is exactly what facilities asked for.

Brand new house in Daly City. Wanted everything rekeyed and a smart lock installed on the front door. They walked me through options honestly — never pushed me into the most expensive thing.

Emergency · Lockouts

Locked out? Here's what to do.

A few seconds of calm makes a real difference. Here's what works, what doesn't, and what to expect from us the moment you call.

  1. 01

    Don't force the lock.

    Damaged locks cost more to replace than the lockout itself. Step away from the door — we'll handle it.

  2. 02

    Call us at (628) 250-3419.

    Tell us your address and what's locked. We'll quote you on the phone — no surprises when we arrive.

  3. 03

    Get to a safe spot.

    Car lockout in a parking lot or on the street? Stay near a well-lit area. A building lobby is fine too.

  4. 04

    We'll roll out as soon as we can.

    We'll confirm an ETA with you by call or text before we leave. No ghosting, no mystery wait.

(628) 250-3419

Outside our listed hours? Call anyway — we respond to emergency calls outside hours when we can. We'll be honest about timing the moment you call.

Car Keys & Fobs FAQ

Straight answers, no fine print.

Questions we get a lot for car keys & fobs jobs. If yours isn't here, call — we'd rather have a quick conversation than guess wrong.

Do you handle Tesla or other EVs?
Tesla key cards and phone keys are mostly handled through the Tesla app and service centers — that's a manufacturer-locked system we don't recommend trying to bypass. For other EVs (Rivian, some Chevy Bolts, Nissan Leafs), call with your year and model and we'll confirm before we head over.
What about high-security Mercedes or BMW keys?
Some yes, some no. The newest generation of Mercedes and BMW keys require dealer-level tooling. Older ones (roughly 2010 and earlier for Mercedes, varies for BMW) we can program on-site. Call with year, make, and model so we can confirm before dispatch.
What if my keys are locked inside the car?
We handle the lockout first — non-destructive entry — then handle the key replacement if you've lost the original. Two services on one call. We'll explain pricing on the phone before we head out.
Will my auto insurance cover this?
Some comprehensive policies cover lost-key replacement; many don't. We provide an itemized invoice you can submit to your insurance carrier. We don't bill insurance directly — you'd pay us and seek reimbursement.
Can you cut spare keys for any car?
Most cars built after 1995, yes. The exceptions are mostly proprietary smart-key systems from the last 3-5 years on some luxury brands. Call with your year, make, and model and we'll confirm whether we can cut a spare.
What info do you need on the phone before dispatching?
Year, make, model, and trim if you know it. Your current location. Whether you have a working key. Whether the car runs. Whether you're at home, at the office, or somewhere else. Five questions, two minutes — saves you an hour.
Do I really need proof of ownership?
Yes, every time. It's a state requirement and basic ethics — we don't want to be the locksmith who gave a car key to the wrong person. Title, registration, or a current insurance card all work.
What if I have only one key left and I want a spare?
Easiest case. Bring the working key plus proof of ownership, and we can cut and program a spare on-site. It's much cheaper than waiting until you lose the last one.
