"Had a key copied at hardware store but it wouldn't start my car. Royal Locksmith explained about transponder chips, programmed it properly, and now it works perfectly. Should've gone to them first!"

Key Programming Questions
Answered

Everything you need to know about our programming service

What is a transponder key and how does it work?
expand_more
A transponder key contains a microchip that communicates with your car's engine control unit. When you turn the key, the chip must send the correct code or the car won't start, even if the key physically fits. This prevents theft since keys can't be simply copied without programming the chip.
Can you program keys without the original?
expand_more
Yes. We can program new keys even if you've lost all originals. This requires accessing the vehicle's computer system directly through the OBD port. It's more complex and takes longer than copying an existing key, but we have the equipment to do it for most vehicles.
How long does key programming take?
expand_more
Programming a transponder key or fob is completed efficiently depending on the vehicle make and model. If all keys are lost and we need to access the security system, it may take longer. We do everything on-site at your location.
Why won't my copied key start my car?
expand_more
Hardware stores can copy the metal key blade but can't program the transponder chip inside. The key will turn in the ignition but the immobilizer prevents the engine from starting. You need a locksmith with programming equipment to activate the chip properly.
Can you program smart keys and push-button start?
expand_more
Yes. We program all types of smart keys including proximity keys and push-button start systems. These are more complex than traditional transponder keys but we have the latest diagnostic equipment to program them for most vehicle makes and models.
Do I need to bring my car to you?
expand_more
No. Our mobile service comes to you with all necessary programming equipment. We can program keys at your home, office, or wherever your vehicle is located throughout Northern New Jersey. The vehicle must be present for programming.
