Wait Wait Wait...Decode my lock... is that fancy locksmith speak for tear it up?

We understand your concern. Forgive us for throwing jargon at you. To decode a lock, basically means you read it. Each ford lock is comprised of a series of arranged wafers in a cylinder. The wafers inside the lock are of special sizes. Our locksmiths have special tools that allow us to safely “read” these numbers inside the lock. This allows us to get the “code” to your lock. Furthermore, this permits us to generate exactly the key you need, without any need for filing, or total ignition replacement. A lock cylinder replacement is much more costly than simply cutting a new key when all keys have been lost. See? Decoding is nothing scary. Our locksmiths take care of your vehicle. We treat them as our own. Don’t change your ignition if you don’t need to! Give us a call for lost ford keys if you change your PCM!

Precision Tools and Locksmith Skills

When the locksmith decodes the door lock on your Ford Car or Truck, he uses a special tool. This tool will allow the lock to be picked open. If the keys are locked inside, that’s great. If you are not so fortunate and all keys are lost to your vehicle, fear not. With the same tool, the locksmith is able to “read” the lock. This lets the locksmith determine how to cut the appropriate key blank to fit your Ford door lock and ignition. Your lock will not be damaged by this procedure. The lock will function normally. With this method, our locksmith will have a key ready in minutes. The locksmith will need to calculate the appropriate cuts. He or She will then cut a key. Once a working key has been cut, we will then program the transponder chip.

Lost keys to a modern vehicle are likely to be expensive. Should you choose to have your vehicle towed to the dealership, and then proceed to pay an incredible amount of your hard-earned money for a replacement set of keys to your Ford motor vehicle? Smart customers know that they can get a deal online. Few expect to find the same deal through a local locksmith. Finding a service provider to program car keys and remotes purchased online can be difficult.

Purchasing the correct transponder key, remote, or fob, specifically for your vehicle is a breeze with UnlockItForMe’s team of professional vehicle locksmiths.

DOES MY FORD CAR OR TRUCK KEY HAVE A CHIP IN IT?

Most of the time, yes. Modern vehicles are equipped with anti-theft features. This is a tricky question for some folks. It can be hard both to explain and understand. There are a few reasons for this car key confusion. but We haven’t quite pinned it down to one thing. We’re not trying to mislead anyone, but the facts are facts. Many ford vehicles are factory equipped with immobilizer systems. So-called “run of the mill” Ford’s as far back as 1999 may be equipped with a transponder “chip key”. A chip key is a nickname for an automotive transponder key. Folks often confuse “chip” with circuit board-based remote head, fob-based, or smart keys. It’s just a tiny specialist RFID chip, approximately the size of a Tic-Tac mint. We try not to argue, instead, we aim to educate. If you need it and don’t have it, you are stuck.

Here is a brief list of vehicles that do include a transponder key, where folks often don't expect it.

There is no need to change the ignition of your ford due to the PCM replacement service. The PCM and immobilizer will need to be matched. UnlockItForMe’s locksmiths do not perform the actual replacement, but rather work in tandem with the mechanic to complete the task. If your keys stop working and you have not replaced the PCM you likely have a different issue, perhaps with the vehicle’s antenna ring which detects and decodes the signal from your transponder key. This will lead to a Ford with a theft light blinking rapidly. The vehicle will not crank with the theft light flashing. A damaged transponder chip or antenna is a likely culprit.

What if your key turns just fine in your locks and ignition but won’t crank? Electronics wear invisibly. Inside most car keys is a tiny radio chip. Over time the materials in this key can become weakened or broken from drops, heat, or continuous use. If you turn on the ignition of your ford, only to be greeted by a red flashing “theft” light, you need a locksmith. In most cases, you just need a new transponder key cut and programmed.
