If you are looking for new car keys, there are many to choose from depending on the year, make and model of your vehicle. Car key replacements today are available in 4 general varieties, namely standard metal keys, transponder keys, remote head keys and proximity keys. The old technology brass alloy keys or “standard keys”, as their name implies, are the traditional keys that come to mind when we discuss most keys available to vehicles before the year 2001. Although their designs have evolved through the years to accommodate more secure keyways, they are still basically the notched designs similar in manufacture to keys that are used in conjunction with a wafer assembly to unlock a door lock, padlock, or car door. They are easily duplicated and offer virtually no security to modern, sophisticated car thieves.
High security keys, also known as sidewinder or laser cut keys are an evolution of the standard key. Thicker than standard keys, these laser-cut blade style automotive keys feature a curved notch or valley on their sides and are not as easily duplicated as the older design keys. Replicating a high security automotive key requires a laser-equipped cutting machine like the one ReKey Xpress Locksmith has.
With advances in electronics, manufacturers began to include a transponder in the key handle to vastly improve the vehicle’s anti theft properties. Because of its increased cost and sophistication, lower-priced cars are not provided such keys.
