The Benefits of Working with a Locksmith for Key Fob Replacements

Save Time and Money While Ensuring Reliability and Security

Businesses replace key fobs for numerous reasons, from security to software integration. It’s important to ensure your team has replacements in case of lost or stolen fobs. Many of these companies turn to dealers, believing they are the only avenue for key fob replacement. Dealers, however, charge a premium. Somehow, probably through good marketing strategies, they’ve created the perception that a dealership-branded key is the highest quality and most reliable.

At Greeley Lock & Key, we believe it’s time to bring awareness to that limiting belief. As a locksmith with nearly 50 years of experience, we can undeniably state that a programmed key fob from our locksmith technicians is of the same quality and made to the same standards as any dealership. The difference? It costs less, and you can get it much faster.

Here, we’ll explore what goes into programming a replacement fob and why more businesses in Greeley, CO, are turning away from dealerships and toward locksmiths.

What Is a Car Key Fob?

Key fobs contain microchips with codes designed to match your car. Pressing the fob button causes the chip to send a radio signal, which is picked up by your car receiver. The code is then verified to ensure it’s a match. If it aligns with your car’s code, the magic happens, whether unlocking the door, opening the trunk, starting the car, or setting off the alarm.

Users and companies experience several benefits by using key fobs. Because each fob and vehicle possesses unique codes, it helps prevent theft. And, while key fobs can be stolen or lost, they can also be deactivated. Some systems are designed for software integration that enables the company to track and schedule vehicles. 

Why Are Locksmiths Qualified to Replace Car Key Fobs?

Because of our extensive history, many people view locksmiths as an “old-fashioned” tradition. While it’s true that locksmithing is one of the oldest professions, dating back to around 3,000 BC, today’s locksmiths are well-versed in the latest technology. For instance, the technicians at Greeley Lock & Key have extensive training in the various fob systems and programming protocols.

We’ve also invested heavily in the different equipment required to program complex key fobs, making sure their functionality and security are intact. This ensures that we can program almost any type of key fob, while ensuring only those with the replacement can gain access.
