FAQ's when all car keys are lost


 Q: How can you make me a key when I don't have any keys at all?


A: We can cut your key by the VIN number.  Your VIN number is unique identification number that specific to your car - that number is linked to all of the important details of your car, and it is saved in a database by the car's manufacturer.  Your keycode (which is the specifications of your locks and key) is saved in that database for a set length of time - usually about 20 years.  Because of our licensing credentials, we are authorized to access the database and pull your car's keycode.  Then we cut the key to the manufacturer's specifications so that it works in your locks?



Q: How do I know the key you cut by VIN will work for my car?


A: If the locks in your vehicle are original - meaning your locks have never been changed - the key will work in your vehicle.  The only other factor that can come into play is lock deterioration over time, in which case the lock would need to be serviced or replaced -- this is not usually the case in vehicles less than 10 years old.  If any of your locks have been changed, they would need to be decoded in order a key to be made to those specific locks.


Q: Why do you need proof of ownership if it is my vehicle and I want a key made?


A: For your protection, we require proof of ownership every time we VIN cut a key.  This prevents the theft and/or unauthorized access to your vehicle.  We have to verify that the person requesting a key by VIN is in fact the owner of the vehicle.
