What is a key fob?

A key fob is the advanced variant of the standard metal keys required for locking unlocking locks of different types, usually Padlocks or doorknobs for the house or offices.

A key fob utilizes the latest advancements of scientific technologies to integrate a built-in radio transmitter and receiver within the key by installing a microchip or, more commonly called out a transponder.

The transponder key fob, since its invention, has provided so many privileges to the drivers that owning the car without having to operate it via a transponder key fob feels outdated and unorthodox.

Since the key utilizes radio, it will require plastic housing to transmit the signals at the peak potential. This makes it quite vulnerable to pressure compressibility and water intervention within the housing of the key. Due to the fact of the plastic housing, we at Tucker Locksmith On Call experience hundreds of calls regarding fob key replacement and repair service inquiries.

We have a dozen of expert locksmiths that are provided with the best leading-edge locksmith hardware and equipment. Our locksmith technicians make the most out of the latest technology equipment they are provided to provide you with an even faster and time-saving key fob replacement service that will also be pocket friendly.

When you see the key has been squished or smashed, do not try to repair it by yourself because by doing so, you may compromise the delicate transponder chipset that controls the AI activities of the keys. The Fob keys have some impressive uses because in this pandemic when everyone is restricted and touching objects exposed to the public is prohibited, you can unlock and lock your car doors with this fob key. If you ever doubt about locking the doors to your ride, no need to go down the apartment only to check them; you can re-lock them from great distance only at the touch of a button on your car key fob.

Never try to open the car key fob because it may dismantle completely since the delicate button and chips are sometimes glued to both the halves of the plastic. This way, you will detach them, and this can cause the key fob to stop functioning completely.
