Locked Out?


Losing your car keys or key fob can be more than a minor hassle—it can be costly and inconvenient. Modern keys often include transponder chips that communicate with your vehicle’s security system, meaning a replacement key must be properly programmed for your car to start. Dealerships typically charge anywhere from $267 to $740 for a single key, depending on the make and model, with a waiting period of five to ten days.

Securitex Locksmith provides a faster, more affordable solution. Our in-house automotive services handle key cutting and programming for standard keys, transponder keys, and smart key fobs. Our trained technicians deliver factory-quality results quickly and at a fraction of dealership prices, getting you back on the road without the long wait.

How to Save Money

Replacing a car key doesn’t have to be costly. Using a professional locksmith instead of a dealership can save you time and money. At Securitex Locksmith, we provide genuine and high-quality aftermarket keys that work like the originals—often at a fraction of the price—and can even come to your location. Be sure to have your vehicle registration and driver’s license ready to verify ownership.


Keep a spare master key in a safe place to avoid being stranded, and when buying a vehicle, confirm how many keys are included. For frequent lockouts, a basic non-transponder key can unlock your doors affordably, even if it won’t start the engine.


Check Your Insurance


Your car insurance may help cover the cost of replacing lost or stolen keys. Many policies include key replacement benefits, and some even cover rental cars while you wait for new keys. Review your policy carefully, as coverage may come with waiting periods or specific conditions.


If you’ve lost your keys, contact your insurance provider to see if you qualify for reimbursement or assistance. Combined with Securitex Locksmith’s cost-effective services, this can make replacing your keys quicker, easier, and more affordable.
