Types of Ford Keys
Ford uses several key systems depending on the model and year. We replace and program all of them:
- Transponder keys: Security chip must authenticate to start the engine.
- High-security (sidewinder) keys: Laser-cut blades used on many newer Fords.
- Remote-head keys: Mechanical key with lock/unlock and panic buttons in one unit.
- Smart proximity fobs: Keyless entry + push-button start on modern trims.
- Emergency key inserts: Hidden mechanical blade inside smart fobs.
OEM and high-quality aftermarket options available — choose based on price and preference.
How Mobile Service Works
- Quote & key identification: Provide model/year & ZIP; we confirm correct key type and cost.
- We come to you: Homes, offices, parking lots — anywhere in Round Rock.

- Programming: Chip or fob is paired to Ford’s immobilizer/security system.
- Security checks: We can erase missing keys from memory when supported.

Lost Keys vs. Spare Key Options
Lost all keys: We create a working key from scratch and verify security.
Duplicate spare: Lower price + faster service — essential for push-to-start owners.
Tip: Always keep an accessible backup blade to prevent lockouts due to dead fob batteries.
