How can I program my own car keys?

To program your own car keys, you will need to consult your owner’s manual for the specific instructions. The general steps are as follows:

  1. Insert the existing key into the ignition and turn it to the “on” position.

  2. Press and hold a button on the new key for a specific amount of time.

  3. Remove the existing key from the ignition and insert the new key.

  4. Turn the new key to the “on” position.

If the key programming is successful, the car will start. If the key programming is not successful, the car will not start.

If you are having trouble programming your car keys, it is best to consult a professional locksmith or dealership.

What action should I take if I can’t access my car?

If you’re unable to enter your car, reach out to our emergency lockout service and our proficient locksmiths will promptly come to you and unlock your car.

What is car programming?

Car key programming is the process of synchronizing a car key with the car’s immobilizer system. The immobilizer system is a security feature that prevents the car from being started without the correct key.

There are two main types of car keys: transponder keys and keyless entry remotes. Transponder keys have a small chip embedded in them that contains a unique code. This code is read by the immobilizer system when the key is inserted into the ignition. If the code matches, the car will start.

Keyless entry remotes allow you to lock, unlock, and start your car without having to use the key in the ignition. Keyless entry remotes also have a chip embedded in them, but this chip is used to communicate with the car’s security system.

What kind of access control systems do you offer?

We offer a wide variety of access control systems. From simple systems like electronic deadbolts to keep a supply closet secure to a company-wide system that monitors traffic and restricts access, we have it all!

What kinds of payment do you take?

We take cash, check, credit cards or money orders. If you are a business owner you can also apply for credit terms.

What types of safes can you move?

We move all types, including gun safes, home safes, commercial safes, fireproof safes, and even large or heavy-duty safes.

What’s the cost of replacing a car key?

The price of car key duplication can change based on your car’s make and model. However, we provide competitive rates compared to dealer and manufacturer prices. Reach out to us at 281-334-7233 or drop by our car key shop in League City to get a quote today.

Who can program a car key?

Car key programming can be done in a few different ways:

  • At the dealership: You can take your car to the dealership to have your keys programmed. This is the most expensive option.

  • By Liberty Locksmith: You can also have your keys programmed by Liberty Locksmith. This is a less expensive option than going to the dealership.

  • Yourself: Some cars allow you to program your own keys. This is the least expensive option, but it can be tricky. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, it is best to have a professional do it for you.

Will opening my safe damage it?

Our goal is to use non-destructive techniques whenever possible to preserve your safe’s integrity.
