Lost every copy of your car key, or just need a spare? Falcon Locksmith cuts and programs replacement car keys — including transponder keys, remote head keys, and push-to-start smart proximity fobs — at your location for supported vehicles. I confirm the exact year, model and key system first; some vehicles need ordered parts, a dealer or another specialist.
Many modern car keys are two things at once: a mechanically cut blade and an electronic transponder or proximity fob that the vehicle recognizes. A working replacement usually needs both cut correctly and programmed to the vehicle — a hardware-store blade copy may open the door but not start the car.
When do you need a car key replacement?
Lost every key. A broken key that can't be removed whole. A stolen key. Failed fob electronics. Or simply getting a second key programmed while you still have one — a spare is usually simpler and less expensive than an all-keys-lost job.
How the process works
I verify ownership with ID and registration or title, identify the key system from the VIN and vehicle details, cut the blade by code where a code is available, and program the key to the immobilizer where the vehicle and current tools support it. Remote buttons are registered separately where the system allows, and I test each applicable function before finishing.
Types of keys
Basic transponder keys, remote head keys with integrated buttons, flip keys with folding blades, and smart proximity keys with push-to-start (KEYLESS-GO, Intelligent Access, SmartKey, Advanced Key and similar). Which types I can supply and program depends on the specific vehicle and parts availability.
Pricing
Service call starts at $49. Final pricing depends on the make, model, year, key type, and whether the job is adding a key or all-keys-lost. Every job is quoted in full before I begin.
Service call starts at $49; the final quote depends on your vehicle, key type (basic transponder, remote head, flip key or proximity smart key), and whether I'm adding a key from a working original or making one when all keys are lost. Every job is quoted in full before I begin.
Often, depending on the vehicle. After ownership is verified, I identify the key system; a key code is available for some vehicles but not all, and programming support depends on the year, model and security system. Some vehicles need a dealer or another specialist.
It depends on the vehicle, key type, security procedure and parts. Adding a key from a working original is usually quicker than an all-keys-lost job, and some late-model systems take considerably longer. I give an estimate once I know the vehicle.
Often, yes. Bring the OEM key or fob you purchased — I check part-number compatibility, cut the blade if needed, and program it to supported vehicles. Some used or vehicle-locked keys can't be reused; if the part doesn't match, I tell you before charging.
In many cases. Compatible aftermarket keys work on many vehicles at a lower cost, but some vehicles reject aftermarket electronics. I confirm compatibility before ordering.
Often — HU64, HU66, HU100 and other high-security sidewinder blades can be cut on-site by code when a code is available for the vehicle. These blades are common on many European and some domestic vehicles.
For many supported vehicles, yes, including various Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai and Kia models and some European models. Support depends on the year, model and key system. Passive entry and push-to-start are tested before I leave.
Often, yes. Basic transponder keys are common requests, but older does not automatically mean simpler — worn locks, discontinued blanks or unavailable codes can add work. I check the specific vehicle first.
Adding a key normally leaves your existing keys working. Programming a new key does not automatically delete old ones. Where the vehicle supports removing missing keys, I explain what that involves; some systems don't allow it outside the dealer. A missing key's blade may still open a door mechanically, so a lock review may be worth discussing.
Yes. I verify you're the owner or authorized driver with a photo ID plus registration, title, or an insurance card in your name. This protects you and keeps keys from being made for someone else's vehicle.
