AUTO LOCKSMITH TIPS YOU WANT TO KNOW

Tip #4 What is a transponder and immobilizer in a car?

Modern cars with immobilizer systems seek a unique electronic signature sent by the transponder trip, a device situated inside the key head. The car immobilizer will not allow the vehicle to start if it detects an invalid transponder code or none at all. It is essential to configure transponder keys to recognize the unique electronic signature of the car’s immobilizer.

AUTO LOCKSMITH TIPS YOU WANT TO KNOW

Tip #3 The car is unlocked, but I can’t find my keys. Should I lock it just to be sure?

Whether or not your car is in a secure location makes a difference. It may be okay to keep your car unlocked for the time being if it is safe and secure location that is off-limits to the public, such as a garage. The expense of getting new keys made, however, is substantially less than the cost of potential theft if the car is easily accessible to the public. If it is possible to lock it, this would be highly advisable as most professional locksmiths will be able to pick the lock open when making new keys.

AUTO LOCKSMITH TIPS YOU WANT TO KNOW

Tip #2: Should I visit a car dealership to have my car key problem resolved?

Going to a car dealer is a needless step. When all keys are lost, dealerships contact services like ours and give us the job of replicating the keys, while charging customers a premium.

AUTO LOCKSMITH TIPS YOU WANT TO KNOW

Tip #1: What should I do if my door lock’s key breaks?

If you break your key off in your door lock or ignition and you have the fragments, you should save them. A car locksmith will find it easier to create a new key with those parts, which will save you money.

Avoid attempting to extract the key yourself if the key components are still inside the lock as this could damage the lock cylinder and require a more costly repair.

Get in touch with Jay on 082 651 6416 to remove the part securely and without causing further harm or expense.

Vehicle Remote Battery Tip

locksmith near me, locksmith, locksmith close to me, locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

🔋 Is your car remote fob feeling a bit sluggish lately? It might just need a little power boost! 🔋

Changing the batteries on your car remote fob is a quick and easy task that can save you a lot of hassle down the road. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Check your fob: If your remote isn’t working as it should, it’s likely time for a battery change. Most fobs have a small slot where you can insert a flathead screwdriver or coin to open them up.
  2. Open it up: Carefully pry open the fob using the designated slot. Be gentle to avoid damaging the casing.
  3. Swap out the batteries: Once the fob is open, you’ll see the batteries inside. Remove the old batteries and replace them with fresh ones of the same type. Make sure to observe the correct polarity.
  4. Close it up: Once the new batteries are in place, snap the fob back together. You should hear a satisfying click when it’s properly closed.
  5. Test it out: Press the buttons on your remote to ensure it’s working correctly. If everything looks good, you’re all set!

Remember, it’s a good idea to keep spare batteries on hand so you’re always prepared. Happy remote fobbing! 🚗💨 #CarTips #DIY #StayCharged

Master-Key Systems

locksmith near me, locksmith, locksmith close to me, locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

Hey folks, let’s talk about Master-Key Systems and why they can start to act up after a few years. 🤔

1️⃣ Non-Restricted Keys: Over time, keys can end up in the wrong hands.

2️⃣ Key Blanks: Some keys are easy to copy, making it simple for anyone to make a duplicate of your master key.

3️⃣ Poor Key Control: If you’re not keeping track of who has which key, you’re asking for trouble.

4️⃣ Lost Manager Keys: Lose a Master Key or let it get into the wrong hands and your systems integrity goes out the window.

5️⃣ Third-Party Locksmiths: Using different locksmiths can mess up the system. They might not guarantee that the new key won’t work on multiple locks.

6️⃣ The “My Key” Factor: When someone insists their key should work on more than just their designated lock, it can compromise the whole system.

What Can You Do?
– Stick with one trusted locksmith for maintenance.
– Consider a restricted key system.
– Always keep your Master-Key secure. Don’t leave it lying around or on your keyring.

Designing a solid Master-Key System from inception is crucial. It should fit your needs while keeping your business assets safe. 👍🔐

🔐 Lock Picking Myths Busted! 🔐

locksmith near me, locksmith, locksmith close to me, locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

Worried about criminals picking locks to break into your home? Don’t be!

📊 According to the latest South African crime stats (Jan-Mar 2023), the majority of burglaries involve weapons, not lock picking.

👀 Criminals prefer quick and easy entry:

– Targeting homes with unlocked doors 🚪

– Using destructive methods like kicking in doors 🥾

– Breaking windows with rocks

🤔 Why risk getting caught with “burglary tools” when easier options are available?

Remember, burglars want:

✅ Quick entry

✅ Minimal time inside

Lock picking doesn’t fit the bill! Keep your home secure with good habits like locking doors and windows. 🔒

Double-check your locks: Before heading out for holiday festivities, make sure all doors and windows are securely locked. A small oversight can lead to big problems.

Upgrade your locks: Consider investing in high-security locks for added protection. It’s a worthwhile investment to deter potential intruders during the holiday season.

Be discreet with keys: Avoid leaving spare keys in obvious places. Instead, give them to a trusted neighbour or friend. Burglars often target homes with easy access points.

Install security systems: A visible security system can act as a strong deterrent. Whether it’s alarms, cameras, or motion sensors, these measures add an extra layer of protection.

Secure your car: Don’t forget about your vehicle. Park in well-lit areas, and never leave valuables in plain sight. Consider steering wheel locks or other anti-theft devices for extra security.

car locksmith near me, car key replacement near me, auto locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

PROS

  • Convenience: Having backup keys is useful, especially if you ever lose or misplace your primary key.
  • Accessibility in an Emergency: When your primary key is unavailable, they come in handy.
  • Savings: Duplicating a key is typically less expensive than replacing a lost one.
  • Peace of Mind: Having a spare key on hand will give you peace of mind that you won’t get locked out of your car.
  • Having extra keys allows you to share your vehicle with family members or other reliable people without having to give up your primary set.

CONS

  • A duplicate key could pose a security risk if it ends up in the wrong hands.
  • The risk of your car being stolen increases if you misplace both the original and backup keys.

Convenience, cost savings, and increased peace of mind are just a few benefits of duplicate car keys. However, in order to reduce any potential security risks, it’s crucial to handle them responsibly.

Replacement Car Keys

If you need replacement car keys, it’s essential to take the following steps to ensure your safety and convenience:

Contact Your Car Dealership: If you have spare keys at home or access to your car’s key code, contact your car dealership first. They can provide you with a replacement key. However, this option can be expensive.

Check Your Insurance Policy: Some car insurance policies cover the cost of replacement keys. Check with your insurance company to see if you have this coverage.

Contact a Reputable Locksmith: Look for a reputable locksmith in your local area, especially one that specializes in automotive services. Ensure they have experience with your car’s make and model. A local locksmith can often provide faster service.

Advantages of Using Car Smart Keys

car locksmith near me, car key replacement near me, auto locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

Smart car keys offer a variety of benefits.

  1. Convenience

Possibly the biggest advantage of using a smart key is that it offers significant convenience. so drivers don’t have to worry about groping with the keyhole (especially in the dark), the door automatically unlocks when you’re close.

  • Improved Safety

Smart keys are a substantial improvement over conventional keys. The signal is encrypted, so hacking a smart key is difficult.

Likewise, in case of an emergency, the last thing you’d want is to be found outside fumbling with your car keys. With a smart key, you don’t need to reach into your pocket or backpack; the door is unlocked immediately.

  • Reduce Ignition Concerns

If you have a conventional car key, it will wear out after a while. Traditional keys are heavy, and most people often add other keys to the keyring.

This puts undue stress on the ignition, causing considerable wear and tear over time. That’s one of the reasons why push-start ignition systems last longer.

More notably, smart keys have battery indicators that will warn you well in advance when it’s running low. Replacing the battery is also incredibly simple, so you don’t need any specialised tools.

What is a Locksmith?

key cutting near me, automotive locksmith near me, car key locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

Ever Experienced Being Locked Out Without a Locksmith?

A few years ago, a friend locked himself out of his car. It was an early Sunday morning, and most businesses were still closed. He tried everything; picking the lock on the door, wedging small objects under the weather strips, and even forcing the sunroof open to open the lock with a large, skinny stick he found in the bushes nearby. Not unexpectedly, none of these worked. What struck him the most was that he didn’t even know who locksmiths were when he was going through this experience. He could’ve had help immediately and been on his way in less than 10 minutes had he known who, or where, his local locksmith was. That’s why it’s so important to know who locksmiths are and what they can do for you in that situation.

Let’s Get This Straight What is a Locksmith?

Locksmiths are the professionals who open your car or house door when you need it the most. They save you from being stuck in the office parking lot during rush hour. They rescue you when you’ve got a crying child in the house or car. Added to this, they make sure your belongings are safe from harm when they replace the locks in your house. Ultimately, they give you peace of mind when all you can do is sit on the corner waiting for help to arrive. In a nutshell, they will save you from your dilemma and get you back to your life. And they deserve more credit than they truly get in society these days.

Locksmiths Are Heroes!

So, consider a locksmith next time you’re in a pinch because he is there for you when you need help. Most services are available 7 days a week and the majority of public holidays. Locksmiths generally live and work in the area they service, so unless they have a previous commitment, should get to you relatively quickly. Northriding Mobile Locksmith is one of these awesome companies, and Jay will go above and beyond to get you back to your life in record time.

Next time you find yourself locked out of your car or house, you’ll know just who to call – your friendly neighbourhood locksmith, Jay, of course!

Request a Quote and Research Companies

key cutting near me, automotive locksmith near me, car key locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

We can not stress enough the importance of getting a quote from a reputable company BEFORE you get the job done.

It is now almost a daily occurrence where we are contacted by dissatisfied customers of other fly-by-night “locksmith companies” where they are being extorted by individuals charging low call out fees of anything from R 100 – R 250 and then are charged thousands of rands in labour.

We can not assist you after the fact, it is also not our responsibility to phone these scammers and ask about their qualifications or how they can justify their prices. The onus is on you, the customer, to do your due diligence and ask for referrals from people you know, look at the company’s facebook page, check Hello Peter, look on their website, etc. to ensure they are in fact qualified tradesmen with a reputable track record.

This job was done on a Wednesday afternoon during business hours.
We would have charged R 1 750.00 for callout, parts and labour.

If a locksmith brandishes a firearm when demanding payment or refuses to leave the premises this is intimidation, you have every right to ask for their company details and report their behaviour to the Locksmith Association of South Africa (LASA) and the South African Police Services (SAPS).

If you are looking for a reputable and qualified locksmith at affordable prices, please contact Jay on +27 82 651 6416.

What does insurance rating on a safe mean?

key cutting, House Locksmith, Safe Technician, Car locksmith | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

All security safes are given what is known as an ‘insurance rating’. This indicates the level of security and the maximum amount of cash that an insurance company will cover if stored in the safe overnight. The higher the rating, the more secure the safe. … Obviously not everyone keeps cash in their safe.

There are 8 main categories for safe grading plus the “No SABS” grading. Since insurance companies cover both the premises and the transit risk of money against theft, the area would be a rating consideration. The maximum limit allowed for each category is as follows BUT it is always important to confirm with your individual insurance company what their specifications are:

No SABS Category – R 2 500

SABS Category 1 – R 5 000

To resist attack by means of hand tools for a net total of 15 minutes, usually 12mm thick steel body and door plate.

SABS Category 2 – R 12 500

To resist attack by means of hand tools for a net total of 60 minutes. Door and body plate thickness not less than 20mm steel plate. Two key locks or two combination locks specified by user.

SABS Category 2ADM – R 50 000

To resist attack by means of hand tools for a net total of 60 minute and also attack by electric disk cutting machines. Door and body contains a barrier material, usually 60-70mm thick. Usually has two key locks.

SABS Category 3 – R 100 000

To resist attack for a net total of 60 minute and also attack by all methods including oxyacetylene cutter or until the gasses are exhausted, whichever is the shorter period. Door and body thickness could be to up to 80-90mm, usually three locks.

SABS Category 4 – R 200 000

To resist attack for a net total of 60 minute and also attack by all methods including oxyacetylene cutter to until the gasses are exhausted, whichever is the shorter period.

SABS Category 5 – R 300 000

To resist attack for a net total of 60 minutes and also attack by all methods including attack with a diamond core drill, impact hammer and angle grinders using diamond coated cutting discs. Usually three locks fitted.

LOCKSMITH SCAM ALERT!

locksmith near me, locksmith, locksmith close to me, locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

Take the time to find a reliable, local locksmith before you need one in an emergency.

Locksmith scams tend to target home and car owners when they’re at their most vulnerable … in an emergency and needing immediate assistance.

Many consumers think they’re doing the right thing by searching online for a local locksmith, in some cases these locksmiths are run by call centers, in other instances they may not be trained as locksmiths but are in fact handymen. To avoid hiring an unskilled locksmith to solve your locked-out problem, take the time to research the company first.

QUESTIONS TO ASK A LOCKSMITH BEFORE HIRING

Ask these questions before hiring a locksmith. If a business can’t provide detailed answers, don’t hire them.

• What area do you operate in?

• Do you need a picture of the lock?

• Can you give me a quote?

• What factors will cause this price to change?

• Do you require cash, or can I pay with an e-wallet or credit card?

• What’s the name of the locksmith who will be coming?

Attached is an example of a customer who contacted us after they had a bad experience with an unqualified handyman presenting as a qualified locksmith. This customer had the “locksmith” lock the keys back in his car when he was required to pay R 1 700, so he paid the R 100 callout fee and then called a reputable locksmith to do the job.

Don’t be a victim of a scam, give Jay a call on 082 651 6416 for professional, affordable service.

Out in the Cold?

Give Jay a call on 082 651 6416 and let him bring a little warmth to your winter blues and get you back on the road.

Mistakes that Owners Make with Auto-lock Cars

locksmith near me, locksmith, locksmith close to me, locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

You might remember when cars had proper metal keys and you had to unlock each door manually, including the boot and fuel tank. Nowadays, more manufacturers are producing auto-lock cars. Then came power locks and you only had to unlock one door and the rest opened automatically.

For years now, keyless entry is standard across the model range and the autolocking feature is quite common even in some modest models. Today most of the premium models have a keyless entry and start option in which you only need to have the key in your pocket and the car automatically opens all the doors and lets you start the engine by pushing the button, not physically pushing the key into the console.

These are all very convenient and advanced but also can be very problematic. Here are some problems that may arise from driving an auto-lock car!

Forgetting a key inside the car

One of the most common mistakes is when you forget your key inside the car and exit the vehicle. It will automatically lock itself in a matter of seconds and there is no way you can enter it.

The most elegant solution is to find the second key you got when you bought the car, but what to do if the second key is in your house and you are hundreds of kilometers away? Basically, nothing, you could either call somebody to bring you the second key, or call locksmith with their knowledge and tools.

We do not recommend you trying to open the doors using force or breaking the windows because it will trigger the alarm and you will look like you’re trying to steal the car.

Not properly closing the doors or the boot

Some new premium and expensive models have an auto-closing feature that automatically closes the doors.

However, most common models do not have that installed. The problem occurs when you don’t properly close the door or the boot and you left your car parked. The auto-lock feature will engage but will fail to lock the said door.

This will not only leave your car open but it will leave the interior light on. You could experience a dead battery or someone could enter your car. So before you let auto-lock do its thing, check all the doors and the boot before walking away.

Leaving pets or children inside the car

If you need to step out of the vehicle and you have passengers inside, always leave the key in the car. This way you will not lock your passengers or small children inside and leave them trapped.

This could be very dangerous if you are in a hurry and your car key is in your pocket and you have children in the back seat. You have to remember that once you are a couple of meters away from the vehicle it will automatically lock all the doors and anybody who is in the vehicle will have to stay inside until you come back.

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to gain access to your car, need a spare or duplicate key, then look no further! Give Jay a call on 082 651 6416 and he’ll be able to assist you at affordable prices.

I DON’T WANT TO PAY A LOCKSMITH A CALLOUT

car locksmith near me, car key replacement near me, auto locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

One of the more frequent questions I get (and I mean daily) is from someone who’s lost a key to some lock and doesn’t want to pay the callout they’ve been quoted because they have seen it done on You Tube and it looks easy. I feel their pain. Many a time I’ve had to get an emergency tradesman round only to see them twist a knob, tighten a screw, etc. then invoice me for a similar amount. It hurts!

He charges a callout because he spent time learning all about locks. He spent time learning so that he can identify your lock and work out how to open it. He spent money on a wide variety of tools and techniques because he knows certain types of locks might be resistant to MICA, or an EPG, it might require single pin lock picking, a technique on which he has probably spent hundreds of hours, hundreds of locks, and a few lock pick sets perfecting.

It’s easy to say, and believe me we hear it all the time, that a locksmith arrived, stuck a little tool in the lock and it was open in seconds, only then to complain when he asked for the full callout that you initially quoted them. Do you want him to take an hour, to sweat, to have cuts on his fingers? Because if that’s the issue, don’t worry, he already has! The reason he can get the job done in seconds is because he’s already done the sweating, he’s already spent the hours learning, hours upon hours of practising, learning, studying, becoming excellent at his chosen skill. He did that so you don’t have to, so that he doesn’t have to when you want the lock open.

So rather than complain when a locksmith opens your lock in a matter of seconds, be glad you can carry on with your life faster than expected. Of course, there’s another answer to not paying the callout, and I promise you’ll never have to pay another locksmith. Get the skills yourself, get the tools, learn the techniques, and you’ll never need to call a locksmith again.

MERCEDES BENZ KEY REPLACEMENT Q&A

car locksmith near me, car key replacement near me, auto locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

Q: I lost my original Mercedes Key; have no spare and I need a copy / duplicate made, how much will this cost?

A: That depends on the year, make and model as well as the availability of the code, type of key (chip, fob, push to start, remote), to name but a few of the variables.

Q: How do I know if my 2007 Mercedes Sprinter key had a chip in it? I understand that some keys need to be programmed and others don’t.

A: A good rule of thumb is that if the key had a plastic cover at the top and / or vehicle was manufactured after 2000, it most likely has a chip. Therefore, if you’ve lost your Mercedes key and it had a chip, it will have to be programmed / coded on-site.

Below are some examples of the various Mercedes keys and remote “push to start button” fobs:

Fob remote “push to start” car key usually looks like some sort of remote, this fob car key has a chip and will need to be programmed.

Mercedes Benz remote car key

This is a Mercedes key that has a transponder chip and needs to be coded, the chip is located inside the cover at the top.

Mercedes Benz high security car key with chip

This is an image of a Mercedes key that does not contain a chip, it is a simple metal key and does not need to be coded.

Mercedes Benz non-transponder key – no programming necessary

   

Q: My 1999 Mercedes E500 ignition key won’t turn and my steering wheel is locked, what is the reason; do you need to change the ignition, what should I do?

A: There may be a few reasons why the ignition key won’t turn; worn out key, rusted ignition or broken wafers.  An experienced locksmith will be able to assess this on-site and advise accordingly, it is not always necessary to replace the ignition.

Replacement ignition cylinder

If you are looking for a new or replacement Mercedes key, contact Jay on 082 651 6416 with details of the make, model and year of your vehicle and he will quote you as well as advise of lead time if the stock needs to be placed on order.

VOLSKWAGEN KEYS

car locksmith near me, car key replacement near me, auto locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

Do All VW cars start the same way?

Volkswagen cars from M plate upwards (1995) use an immobiliser system that prevents the vehicle from starting without the correct key. The immobiliser is deactivated by a small transponder chip that is embedded in the head of the key. Earlier VW models use a separate immobiliser box whilst some of the later models (T plates and upwards) use an immobiliser system that is combined with the dashboard clocks.

With the earlier models of VW cars (pre-2006), locksmiths use a key reader that is inserted into the car lock to read the wafer depths. This allows us to cut a new key without having to remove the lock. The correct transponder chip that is required to deactivate the immobiliser box is then inserted into the key, without the need for a security code first.

Post 2006, (M plate and up until the very latest models), Volkswagen’s parent group VAG decided to pre code the transponder chips. It has made cars more secure and harder to steal because the chip is unique to each vehicle, but it has also made it more difficult for car locksmiths.

VW Car Key Replacement made easy

Northriding Locksmith has invested in specialist software and diagnostic equipment that enables Jay to extract the unique 4-digit security code that is required to program the keys. Our investment in the specialist equipment means we can cut new keys and program the transponder key to your car, as well as reproduce remote fobs for central locking.

Just Need a Spare Set of VW Keys?

It’s a fact – keys wear out, develop faults or even break. Sometimes a repair is an option and a total replacement is not necessary. Our service is not limited to replacing lost or broken car keys; or helping you gain access to your vehicle if you have accidentally locked your keys inside. Perhaps you only have one set and need a spare set. Jay comes to you and produces the keys for you as long as you are within our service area, all you need to know is that 082 651 6416 is the number to call and Jay will take care of the rest.

BMW Key Replacement

key cutting near me, automotive locksmith near me, car key locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

BMW vehicles and technology evolve over time, at Northriding Mobile Locksmith we have the tools, technology, and machinery to produce keys required for your BMW.  Next time you need a key replacement, skip the dealership and call Jay on 082 651 6416.

We believe that losing or misplacing a car key is an honest mistake and shouldn’t be an incredibly costly error, rather, it should be a problem that is relatively easy and quick to resolve. We specialise in fast key cutting and programming solutions at very affordable prices compared to most of our competitors.

Depending on the year and model of BMW, you might have a traditional car key or a state-of-the-art programmable key fob. The majority of BMW’s manufactured after 2000 will have a transponder style key. The key is used to start the engine and the transponder chip inside the key disarms the vehicles standard immobiliser system located in the engine control unit (ECU).  In either case, getting a replacement can be a challenge if you don’t have the original key.

Car keys (both laser cut and programmable) are more complicated than standard house or door keys. Your average locksmith might be able to help you unlock your car, but probably won’t be able to make you a replacement key.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN YOUR MERCEDES-BENZ CAR KEY IS LOST… and how to get a replacement

key cutting near me, automotive locksmith near me, car key locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician
  • First make sure you don’t have a spare key. Many of us put one away as a backup when we lose our key, so take a deep breath and try and remember where it is.
  • If you decide to call an auto locksmith, remember to provide the exact year, make and model; for e.g. “I lost my 2013 Mercedes-Benz CL car key”, or “I lost my 2019 Mercedes EQC push to start key”. This is vitally important for the locksmith to check that he has the correct blank.
  • Ask if the key needs to be programmed or coded, some models do; for e.g., a 2012 Mercedes Sprinter transponder key fob will need to be programmed whereas a 1995 Mercedes E320 will not.
  • If you think you need a new ignition switch/lock cylinder, first make sure you don’t simply need a new key. Changing the ignition for Mercedes is more expensive than buying a replacement key and it will mean that you will have one key for the doors and another for the ignition.
  • If the key won’t turn in the ignition, mention if this is something that has happened for the first time or it’s an ongoing problem.
  • If you have previously changed the ignition cylinder, tell the locksmith or dealer, as this may prevent them from cutting you a new key by code.
  • Finally, ensure you have the VIN number of the car and relevant documents to show ownership as this is required in some cases.

IMPORTANT: Most Mercedes models made after 1998 are equipped with high-security keys, which only a few locksmiths can cut. In addition, models made after 2004 are equipped with a push to start high-security system, which in some cases the locksmith may not have stock on hand and will have to order in.

Calling an auto locksmith or dealer near you when you need a replacement is probably the most common thing to do. Based on your location, an auto locksmith can come to you or you may choose to have the vehicle towed to a dealership.

Some points to remember to help you save time and money regardless of the option you choose:

  • Always ask for a quote. Describe the problem in detail and give the auto locksmith all the details, even if you think they are irrelevant.
  • If the locksmith has all the details it can speed up the process and make it more cost-effective. Remember to give then your exact location as this may affect the price if you are out of their immediate service area.
  • Tell the locksmith or dealer if the ignition has previously been changed as far as you know. A previous ignition change may result in different keys for the ignition and doors.
  • Most Mercedes models today are equipped with chips or transponders; so make sure you mention the exact year, make and model. Check that the locksmith has the necessary tools or if they are going to outsource to a third party – this too will affect costs.
  • Have the VIN number available.
  • Finally, for most Mercedes models, it is not necessary to tow the car to the dealer should you lose your car keys, an auto locksmith should be able to make you new car keys on-site.

If you require a new set of keys, or simply would like to have a spare on hand for emergencies, call Jay on 082 651 6416 for an affordable solution and excellent service.

Labour Cost

  • Is labour included in the price? Labour may be extra, so always check.
  • Is labour charged per hour? If so, what is the rate?

How much does a duplicate car key cost?

key cutting near me, automotive locksmith near me, car key locksmith near me | NorthRiding Mobile Locksmith & Safe Technician

How much does a duplicate key cost? 

There are various reasons for duplicating your car key, (1) you lose your key – having a backup can relive a lot of unnecessary stress; (2) useful for a family member or friend to have a spare key if you lose your key or lock it in your car this may save you time, money and aggravation.

Regrettably, several people do not get a duplicate because they are worried about the cost. These days, cars are equipped with high-tech car keys and do not want to pay in the event there may be an emergency.

So, how much does it cost to duplicate car keys and the factors influencing the costs:

  1. Who makes the duplicate – a dealership will almost always cost more than a locksmith due to their higher operational costs and profit margin; a local hardware will duplicate the key but most hardware employees cannot ensure the key will fit or work as intended.
  2. Type of car key – make and model of your car is central in determining cost, the newer or luxury vehicles will certainly be pricier, while older vehicles may have simpler keys which could reduce the cost. It is crucial that you get the correct information prior to calling for estimates as basic car keys are not that common. Keys now utilise key fobs; transponder chips; remote parts; laser cut keys; and switchblade keys. In some instances, it may be better to order a replacement key.
  3. Type of duplication machine used – the car key duplicator determines the amount of time it will take to duplicate the key and how complex it is to duplicate, the more time it takes, the higher the cost. A more precise machine will make more precise key cuts, but that takes time and raises the cost.
  4. Should you duplicate your car key or replace it – there are times when reordering a new one is the preferred choice, some of the modern cars have keyless entry; some have fobs that need reprogramming. In these situations, reordering a new key may be the best bet, it may be expensive, but the best option. In other situations, duplication my be the easier and preferred option as you merely need an emergency set; if your car is older then a duplicate key is best.

Duplicating a car key is cheaper than most people appreciate, however there are some factors that could increase the price of the key. When you are locked out of your car and unable to get to work; home; or the hospital, having a duplicate key is priceless.
