Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When inserted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars, which is why most modern cars use them.

Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are used on the majority of new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder key at hand, as it will only work if the chip is scanned correctly. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool the system. They come with kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder with electrical relays and wires.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle with the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and permitting it to start.

There are some disadvantages to proximity key systems however. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your car. It can be costly to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll require to be periodically replaced.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.

Despite these limitations proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who want to avoid locking themselves out of their vehicles. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an emergency key with you if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with greater security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also aid tenants in emergency to gain access to the property.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks your car or starts it. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver is carrying an item in his hand.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, despite being very secure. For example, a replay attack is when the initial remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later point. This can be prevented by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it does not require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this cost as much as they can. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and less costly than replacing the lock.
