Honda Key Cut Salt Lake City UT

Cutting a replacement high-security key for a Honda.

​Bob’s Lock Safe & Key has served the Salt Lake City, UT community since 1970, and we’re here to help you in your time of need! When you need new car keys ASAP, our team of highly-trained technicians is here to provide convenient mobile car key replacement services that are fast, efficient, and affordable. Our 24/7 emergency service is also available when you need it. Here are some car key types that we can replace:

  • Transponder Key: These keys have a small chip in them that sends a signal to the car’s ignition system. If the signal is not received, the vehicle will not start. Most vehicles made after 1997 use this system.
  • Remote Flip Key: This type of key is commonly seen on Hyundais, Kias, Volkswagons, Fords, and more. A flip key is a high-security, laser-cut key that flips out of the fob like a switchblade when the button is pushed. When not in use, the key can be folded back into the fob.
  • Standalone Key Fob: These key fobs are separate from your ignition key and are usually attached via a key ring. They’re more common in pickup trucks and older vehicles.
  • Laser Cut Key: This type of key is sometimes called a “sidewinder” key, and it’s known for its unique high-security blade. Instead of having the cuts along the edges of the key, laser-cut keys have grooves cut into the center of the blade. To replace or duplicate one requires high-security key-cutting equipment and highly experienced technicians who know how to use them. Lucky for you, we have both!
  • Proximity Key: These types of key fobs are seen on most newer vehicles with push-to-start ignitions. We can program all types of domestic and foreign vehicles, including those with emergency insert keys.
  • Tibbe Car Key: Here in the US, Ford and Jaguar are typically the only automotive brands that use a Tibbe key. This type of key is rare, but our locksmiths have the expertise to duplicate it for you.

What To Do After Losing Your Car Keys

There are many reasons why Salt Lake City locals come to us for key replacements, but no matter the circumstance, losing your car keys can be a frustrating and stressful experience. But don’t worry—we’re here to help! Give us a call, and one of our expert automotive locksmiths will be dispatched to your location in one of our fully equipped vans, ready to take care of business.

Our technicians will use our specialized tools and equipment to decode the door and/or ignition lock so we can replicate the exact cuts we need to make on the new key. Once the new key is cut, we’ll plug our programming equipment into your vehicle’s OBD port to sync the new key or fob to the car’s immobilizer system so you can get back on the road and get on with your life.

If you’re worried about someone using your old key to gain access to your car, we can erase the key’s transponder code from the vehicle’s memory so it can no longer start the vehicle. For the ultimate security upgrade, we can rekey the door, trunk, and ignition locks to work with a new, unique key.

Car Key Replacement FAQs

I think my car keys were stolen. What should I do?

Once you have assessed the situation and confirmed that your keys were stolen, we can dispatch one of our mobile locksmiths to your location to erase the old keys from the vehicle’s memory and add in a new one so you can leave without having to worry about someone stealing your car.

How do I know if you're qualified to replace my car key?

All of our locksmiths are employed directly through us, and we are a licensed and bonded company. Our technicians all wear uniforms showing our name, Bob’s Lock Safe & Key, and drive commercial cargo vans that also display our company name and logo. We will never send someone to your house in an unmarked vehicle.

How do I know if my key is a transponder key?

If you’re not sure if your key is a transponder key, look for a “Security” light on the vehicle’s dash. Often it looks like a blinking red dot, or a car with a key, or a car with a padlock, or just a key or a padlock, and sometimes even just says “security”. If your vehicle has this on the dash, it has a transponder system and will need a programmed key to be able to start.
