Experience Hassle-Free Services For Laser Cut Car Keys

Many newer and higher-end cars now use laser-cut keys, also known as sidewinder keys, for added security. These keys have a central groove and a transponder chip that tells the car to unlock doors.

It’s true, Laser cut car keys are harder to make than regular ones because cutting the key and programming the transponder require special high-tech equipment and technical expertise. They are more secure because it’s harder for a thief to get a duplicate or pick the lock. However, new keys are more expensive, and not all locksmiths can make them. That’s a problem if your keys get locked in the car, or if the transponder quits working.

Tips From The Experts For When You Lock Your Keys In Your Car

Try out the following before calling us. You don’t need to spend money unnecessarily.

• Make sure all doors are in fact locked. People have broken into their cars only to find another door was unlocked.
• If your truck is open, you will probably find a cord or tab in the trunk’s roof or door that you can pull to access the car from the trunk. Pulling it will make the back seats fall forward, allowing you to crawl through and get your keys.

Note: the old method of using a coat hanger reshaped into a hooked rod to get through the door may damage the wiring on newer cars. Additionally, we do not recommend leaving your doors or windows open at any time; however, it can’t hurt to double check everything if you are in a jam.
