Transponder Keys
Faster than the dealer...
Most automotive dealerships don't frequently manage issues identified with a vehicle's key. That is why they don't have selection of keys in stock and will not be promptly accessible around the same time you require them. Waiting for a key to be sourced from a different location and be made can take days.
Most locksmiths in Reno are providing a solution to that situation by stocking a wide range of keys for most make and model vehicles, so when a new key is in need, the customer won't have to wait several days to have it made and instead would be accommodated at the same day. What improves the services of a Reno locksmith even more is the fact that all of the keys you purchase from the company will be less expensive than if you really had the key bought and made at the dealer.
The differences with traditional and transponder keys...
Most vehicles in recent years have a key incorporated which is doing a job of 3 keys.
These keys work mechanically permitting manual opening of the vehicle's door, the ignition key along with a transponder chip that is embedded into the key and required to starting the vehicle and a remote control key to permit controlling the locking mechanism remotely.
Older model vehicles were not so efficient when it came to the keys. Even nowadays, not all vehicles incorporate remote locking technology. You can particularly notice its absence on rental cars.
Transponder Keys have genuine transponder chips inserted into the plastic cover of the key. They are customized with a specific code that your vehicle will perceive. As you turn the key in the ignition the code is perused and in the event that it is observed to be lost or not the correct one, the vehicle essentially won't start. For that particular reason, anytime a transponder key is made, the locksmith would have to program it in order for it to work.

Automotive Key Duplication
Do you have a history of locking your keys in your car? Do you have the local locksmith in Reno on speed dial? Have you thought about having your keys duplicated so that you have a hide-a-key or a spare at home? Well why not? Any licensed, bonded, and insured locksmith in Reno can help you out with that.No matter what kind of a key your vehicle requires, a professional locksmith can come out and make either a single copy of your key or even multiple copies of your key for you. It is very common where a person had 3 spare keys made, one for the house, one for a hide-a-key spot, and one for the spouse’s key-ring as a backup plan. Having a backup key or even several backup keys is never a bad idea. They can save you time and money, as well as saving you from standing out in the cold or extreme heat for too long.
Sometime, spending a little extra money up front can save you lots of extra money in the long run. Especially when you have kids or teenagers. One idea would be to have an extra key cut and have your teenager keep it in their locker as a spare at school.
Duplicating keys is a relatively simple process, as long as you have the original of course. The Reno locksmith will have a machine that can read the cuts on the original key and then copy those cuts on to another key. To just copy a key can take about 10-15 minutes. Now, as stated before, no matter what kind of key your vehicle requires, it can be copied. If your vehicle requires a transponder key, the locksmith can program those just as soon as he is done cutting them. Whatever the type of a spare key needed, it can all be taken care of by the same person, the locksmith.

Ford 10-Cut Ignition Tip
Like most locksmith technicians, using a roll pins to prevent the ears from spinning on a ford 10 cut ignition is a nice way to repair the problem. However, I have found that a .350 lab pan also works well. Simply align the keyway face plate (use a blank key) and drill the proper sized hole. Put in a dab of superglue or Loctite then the lab pin and the job is finished.
although the role pin is very secure, I have found that the lab pin works just as well and only takes about 10 minutes to do the entire job. Fast, simple and easy. And best of all, we all have pinning kits on the truck, so there’s little hunting for the right part to do the job
