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

  1. Quote & key identification: Provide model/year & ZIP; we confirm correct key type and cost.
  2. We come to you: Homes, offices, parking lots — anywhere in Round Rock.
  3. Cutting: We cut the key by code or decode the lock for factory-level accuracy.
  4. Programming: Chip or fob is paired to Ford’s immobilizer/security system.
  5. Security checks: We can erase missing keys from memory when supported.
  6. Final testing: Remote lock/unlock, trunk function, and engine start confirmed.

Most customers are driving again in less than an hour once we arrive.

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.

Common Ford Key & Start Issues

  • “Key not detected” on push-start models.
  • Remote unlock works but engine won’t start — chip issue.
  • Broken flip key blades — hinge failure requiring reshelling.
  • Lost proximity fob — erase from system for security.
  • After jump-start issues — may require re-sync.
  • Key stuck in ignition — cylinder wear or steering lock fault.
  • Poor remote range — weak fob battery or antenna issue.

We diagnose first — only fix what’s actually needed to get you running again.
