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.

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. 👍🔐

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.

When multiple people will need access to multiple properties or areas, the simplest solution is often to install a master system so that one key can be used to access multiple areas.
Today’s master systems can be fairly complex, and are not nearly as simple as the “skeleton keys” of days past.
A simple master key system would involve multiple locks that were keyed both individually and separately. In this case, the master key is usually kept by only one person since it is capable of unlocking quite a few doors, but there are some exceptions, such as maintenance crews at apartment complexes where there may be a few keys in select, responsible hands that can open all of the doors. These keys are designed so that, although the master key will work everywhere, a key that was made only for one door will only open that door, and none of the others.
A more complex setup would involve a three tiered system, where there was one key (or set of keys) that could open all the doors, another that could open a select set of doors, such as a certain building, and then individual keys to open the doors individually as well. This is an especially good idea for property managers or owners that hire different maintenance workers on different properties.
As you can see, master systems can get pretty tricky, and there is lots of room for error. Trust the pros to get it done right the first time. Give Jay a call today on 082 651 6416 and let him answer all your master system questions.
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.

To get a new key for your car you will need to supply Jay with the following:
Make, model and year of vehicle
VIN (vehicle identification number) found on your licence disc
Copy of licence disc (in some instances)
Cost Impacting Factors
The cost to get a new car cut all depends on your car make, model and year. This then depends on parts and tokens required for car key programming and if the car key is basic or remote.
The make of vehicle – a Ford Fiesta will normally be cheaper than a Land Rover
The model and year of car – The year and model of vehicle can impact the price
The type of car key – Do you have a remote fob or transponder car key?
Availability of your keys – Do you have spare car keys that can be copied, or have you lost your keys? Having no spare key will be the most expensive option.
If you have lost your car keys, we can delete the vehicle’s database history so if they are found by someone else or stolen, they will be inoperable.
We recommend you get quotes from at least three locksmiths in your area, who, will often be cheaper than your local dealership.

Customer satisfaction is one of the foundations of the exceptional relationship, sometimes referred to as true customer loyalty. Because of this it is important to hit the essentials of customer satisfaction (reliably and repeatedly) so that you don’t let down those customers you ultimately hope to convert to loyalty.
Customer satisfaction is based on four predictable factors; i.e. customers are satisfied whenever they consistently receive: 1. A perfect product; 2. Delivered by a caring, friendly person; 3. In a timely fashion;. . . with (because any of those three elements may misfire) 4. The support of an effective problem resolution process.
