There are many different types of keys on the market right now: regular metal keys, vat system keys, transponder keys(with programmable chips inside), remote head keys, fob keys, high security push to start key fobs, flip out keys, twist ignition keys. Accordingly there are special machines available for cutting and programming those keys. Usually locksmith Philadelphia obtains cutting and programming codes for making new keys for customers.

Regular metal keys (no programming chip available) – for such keys locksmith sometimes are able to get the cutting codes from the vehicle itself or sometimes have to buy the code from third parties to cut it.

Transponder keys (keys have chips inside and they need to be programmed to the vehicle’s computer)– these keys have to be cut and programmed in order to start the vehicle. Same here, sometimes locksmiths are able to get cutting and programming codes from the vehicle itself or they have to get it from third parties.

Vat(vehicle anti theft) system keys – These keys are equipped with the chip inside the blade itself and when it’s inserted in the ignition computer recognizes if the correct key is inserted and allows the driver to start the car. Pretty complicated system but when it was released in the 1980’s, it stopped thieves from stealing cars, and did its job but you will not find these car key systems in modern cars anymore.

Remote head transponder keys  – It’s similar to regular transponder keys but with addition of remote on top of it that also is programmed to the car.

Fob keys –  these type of keys has to be inserted into the ignition slot directly, they have to be programmed to the car, but there is also an emergency blade inserted into the key, so in case battery dies customer can open the doors manually, emergency key is also cut upon customer’s request

Push to start (proximity key fobs) – with these keys you can simply start the car by pressing the button with keys being inside or close by the car. These key fobs include emergency blades inserted for cases when battery drains to have an access to the vehicle, and they can be cut upon customer’s request.

Flip out keys – same as remote head keys with only the difference that key is used after pressing the button on the fob.

Twist ignition keys – these keys are similar to proximity fobs with the difference that you have to still turn the ignition knob to start the car, keep in mind that instead of regular ignition where you slide the key in, you have a knob that turns to start the car.
